Sirs, allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Aed Chase and I was raised in Bretonia. I began working with the Zoners at the age of 18 and have for many years worked for the Jupiter Guild. The Guild's close relationship with the Corsairs of Crete gave me the opportunity to view the suffering of the poorer classes on Crete and I devoted my time thereon to shipping humanitarian aid to Crete. For a time, the Jupiter Guild supported me in this, but share-prices have fallen and it seems they can no-longer afford to support my operations.
Worse, it now seems that the politics in the Omicrons have shifted, and where once my humanitarian aid was supported by my fellow Zoners, now I am held in contempt for helping their rivals.

It is for this reason, I have chosen to give up my alliegence with the Zoner consortium and I today contacted Minister Ze'ev Barak to offer my services and my ship to the Alliance.
An old injury prevents me from flying combat vessels but Minister Barak assured me that my services would be welcomed in shipping commodities between Alliance outposts and your allies, particularly in light of his intentions to increase food-shipping to Planet Crete.
It is my hope that with the help of my newfound friends in the Artisan Farmers Alliance I will be able to continue to work towards my overarching objective of banishing hunger and poverty from the lives of citizens in the Corsair empire, Kusari and beyond.

Today, I rendezvoused with the [AFA]Fallowed.Ground and spoke the Minister Barak in person, before his right-hand-man assisted me with the task of re-designating my ship, and earning the respect of the rest of the Farmers Alliance. We did a sufficient number of tasks for the FA mission comission to earn enough respect for me to be granted Farmers Alliance Identification, and my trusty Series ST Borderworld Transport has been rechristened the [AFA]Graceful.Charity.

I look forward to working with all of you, and hope that my future actions will aid the prosperity of the people of Kusari, the Corsair Empire, and your allies.
