Hello there OSC Board. I have waited a long time for this appointment, and I appreciate you hearing me at this time. My name is Sipher Rockwell. I am an Ensign in the Bretonian Armed Forces, but I am not hear on behalf of them. I come with a petition.. A petition to remove or better yet Decommission the Luxury Liner Shetland that is currently in orbit of the renowned planet Gaia. Shetland has been a major tourist attraction and hot spot due to the magnificent beauty of the planet. But under the table I see it as a sneaky way to make a profit. For what reason would a Liberty corporation swoop over across Sirius to in essence moor a Liner right next to a planet? Only one, Greed. However, Shetland has lately become the scene to a Very under the table act. On more than one occasion, I have stopped a trader sneaking out of Edinburgh, carrying a hold filled with Gaian fauna and animals. This is definitely a hazard not only legally but environmentally as well. Also, am I correct in saying privileged costumers can fly down to the surface for a "tour"? If i'm not mistaken Gaian is a paradise, and research from Cambridge has acknowledged that their animals are perfectly suited for each specific niche. The risk and ecological disruption letting this wildlife out could cause is monumental. However this is only point one of my petition. I go back again to the core of this, what makes the universe twirl and ships fly, Money. I respect your corporation, and I'm not undermining the friendliness of Bretonia and Liberty, but I see this as overstepping boundaries. Capitalism is all great and such, but when people purposefully go over to infringe on a people's home for their personal gain is reaching over the line. Now, probably the most familiar issue arisen from this is the partial infuriation of the Gaian's against this infringement. I think that if this petition was passed, perhaps they could see this as the beginning of change and compromise, instead of the endless fighting and terrorism we are sadly so accustomed to. This could give Bretonia perhaps some lean-way considering the growing ferocity of the Kusarians. I am not accusing OSC of any wrong for admiring Gaia, but you shouldn't tamper with it and use it as a way to make your own money. I am also not saying OSC is responsible for the Gaian insurgence.. that is the result of a lack of regulation and regard for our own environment. There are literally Thousands of planets to take your pick of. And tourism doesn't need beauty, even that can get boring after a while. Tourism wants variety and uniqueness. So, I hereby Lay out my Petition for the removal of the Liner Shetland from Edinburgh, or even the complete decommissioning of the vessel, For it symbolizes for me the vile attempts at profits that money always drives. To summarize my points;

• The Moral Value of Profits
  
• The Newly Risen Wildlife Trade
  
• A Chance at Negotiation with The Gaians
  

I await your rebuttle.
