Buon giorno signores.
Perhaps this is a more appropriate place to discuss this.
There is a point, that needs to be made.
I ask you, look at a map.
Now, look at where Omicron Theta is on that map.
Now, look at the systems surrounding Omicron Theta.
Do any of those systems say, scra, or outcast, or hessian, or core?
No, they say, Corsair Empire, and Zoner.
Gamma, Kappa, Omega 41, Eta...all these systems are ours.
We are the ones you have to be worried about.
THe outcasts? They sit behind a minefield and two Corsair bases.
The Core? They fly in the Omicrons only beacuse we let them.
The Order? they almost never venture past Delta.
Hessians? SCRA? The same.
We are the ones who control the majority of the Omicrons, and it is us, you should be worried about.
Our two peoples, allied, could completely lock down the Omicrons.
We would have next to complete control, but instead, we sit here, bickering.
We are neighbors, and this should not be.
I am currently contacting some of the more peace-minded corsairs within our ranks, and i say to you, do you stand for war, or peace?
This cannot be a half-hearted attempt, a trial to revert things to the way they were.
Zoner neutrality is gone now, dashed to pieces by attempts to be too friendly.
Each Freeport is on its own, and you cannot let Freeport 1, or 2, or the TAZ, speak for you.
You are in Corsair-claimed space, with Corsair patrols flying past.
Neutrality is not an option, not anymore.
You simply cannot be everyone's ally.
Now, i ask you, are you willing to make amends, to try and patch together a lasting peace?
I do not say it will be on your shoulders entirely, we corsairs have much to answer for as well, but you must agree to peace before we can try to install one.
I leave you now, with one last thought.
If peace does not come from words of wisdom and generousity between both parties, than it can only come from the silence of the dead.
