To the Junker Congress

[Laowai]

Seems that I missed a few responses while the transmission is beeing sent. Elder Ben Laowai , you do not see us interdicting Corsair ships carrying supplies for the Hogosha, now do you ? I expected to see nothing less than equality between us. Seems I was wrong. As Mr Thorn previously stated a coin does have two sides.

Transmission reply:


Indeed the Congress does seem to lack any kind of wisdom in its current incarnation.
I believe you Sir are missing the point - Corsairs who trade to the Hogosha do not do so waltzing through Junker Space - and seeing that Junker space is - loosely tied at best it would indeed be difficult for a Corsair to do this even if he made a point of doing so. Were we to see such trade taking place directly from Junker stations then I would concede the Congress has a case to make here, however it does not.
We are an Empire Sir, and we claim many entire systems, as such we rightfully claim sovereignty in those systems, your pilots enter those systems as our guests - Valued guests if indeed they abide by our laws, but nuisances if they do not. Be careful you do not overstep your reach here - for many years now we have expanded our trade links well beyond your collection of depots and ports, and while your trade would be missed, it would not be the dent in our armour that you seem to think it is.
We are not an enemy you wish to make - I would have expected that to be something that would be obvious to the council however it seems that the obvious needs to be stated.

Deliberate on this if you must - but you do not and will not dictate Corsair policy within our own borders.

Message Ends.
