Slavers Union to the Council of Corsair Elders

[slaversunion]

Gooday Amigos,

We do not speak often, and regretfully the occaison is never good. The subject of this letter is your Cadiz brothers, the Omega Pirates Guild. This particular organization of corsairs is begining to overstep thier bounds in such as way that they inadvertantly making policy for all of the Corsair people, and it may hurt your nation much more than you realise.

The Union has long enjoyed prisoner and human organ shipping contracts with Corsairs. You have what we need, and we can get you what you want. This arrangement has always been benificial to both of us, and despite the OPG claims to have never seen a Union vessel in or around omega-5, we can assure that we operate within Corsair space daily. We can also assure you that the Slavers Union has never taken advatage of your hospitality by using your space to ship enemy goods. (Except in situations where the Corsairs are the buyers for said goods.)

Today one of our agents was traveling through the Omega-5 system when he encountered serveral Corsair transports. I will not waste time by reciting everything that was said, however the captain of a vessel registered as the [OPG-S]-Grimly made a very damaging off hand comment. He implied that the Slavers Union was only employed by the Outcast nation and that all of our actions benifit them alone. He also went on to suggest that our pressence was unwelcome in Omega-5.

We do not deny that we work freely with any group that is intrested in our services, which does include your Outcast enemies, but we are by no means the Outcast puppets. We are not taking kindly to the offhand suggestion that the Corsairs feel the need to cut us out of thier human markets. We are very dependant upon your Human Organ harvesting facilities on Etna, and the purchasing of your Prisoners has always been profitable for both of us. The loss of this source of these sources of revenue, and the ability to ship through corsair controled space to some of our other clients, would destroy the Union's current profits.

The OPS's comment could be taken many ways, but we choose to see it as warning to take some pre-emptive action. Right now all we are offering is words of warning about your brothers actions. Organizations like the Slavers Union, or the Junker Congress are middlemen, and like all middle men we do not take kindly to being removed. We wish to continue working with the Corsair nation as equally as we work with the Outcast nation, please do not force the Union into choosing a side in the Hispanic Wars. Despite what you may think, our organization would not enjoy becoming a slave to the outcasts whims.
