Queen Carina's Privateers to the Nova PowerGen

[Jihadjoe]

****INCOMING TRANSMISSION****

COM ID: Juntoku Genji of the NovaPG
TARGET ID: Sir Reginald Notworthy
SUBJECT: Unsubstantiated accusations and their repercussions.

Mr Notworthy, it is my belief that infact the lane was disrupted by low ranked Chrysanthemum pilots in the area piloting Hawks or perhaps Starblazers. I saw a number engaged in combat with some low ranked police and Imperial Navy ships of similar class. I can say this with a degree of confidence, as at this time, the NovaPG does not engage in acts of direct piracy. We interdict certain trade vessels and requent they drop their cargo for destruction, for instance Samura vessels, however piracy is not something we stoop to.

As to your vessel being struck by several cruise disruptors, perhaps the Imperial Navy low ranked pilots took exception to your visit as I would have expected them to. They are not overly fond of the presence of myself or my Brother Dragons either. In that at least, and the consumtion of tea, I suppose we share some ground.

My resolve to the Shogun is worth more than my life Mr Notworthy. However, we conduct ourselves in internal affairs regarding our homeland by a certain code of honour. This is a strict social protocol by which those of us who live a respectable life govern every last one of our waking actions and thoughts.

We Dragons have no arguement with the Crown, however we do take exception to being fired upon or having a contest of martial skill interupted.

Respectfully.

- Juntoku Genji
