Freeport 9 Public Announcement

Location: Freeport 9
Encrypted To: the Benitez

We have restricted docking rights against those who attacked our people, not announced a declaration of war - though no doubt it's the same to you. Regarding the Benitez, I was there during one of the first assaults upon Freeport 9 long before any Zoner launched attacks into Gamma. I saw your pilots shooting my people while defending my Freeport. But that's beside the point. You joined to fight alongside your bretheren. I spoke to members of your faction. They told me that the Black Sails were fools but that the Benitez supported them anyway because they are your bretheren. And for that you have my respect.

Freeport 9 will not allow anyone to use our station as a base of operations. Anyone who does will suffer consequences. Many Zoners are still interested in peace with Corsairs. But we can go only so low to get it.

The Anarchists attacked our supply shipments and bombarded our stations. Our Freeports were out of food for a few days and transports with access to food were afraid to travel into Gamma. So a good number of your people launched an attack on Freeport 9. What we see today is a direct result of that.

The Asgard Warriors? They ruled Theta with an iron fist. The people of Freeport 9 minded their own business. We bullied no one. We paid our taxes. We supplied what we had to your people. And when we asked for protection from terrorists so that we could safely deliver food to Gamma, we got bombed by a combined fleet of Corsair ships.
