A public announcement

[Zelot]

To: All those who call Omega 50 home
From: Miguel Sephardi, The Corsair Brotherhood

Hola Zavala, Hola Doc Holiday,

This message is to inform everyone involved in the situation that the Corsair Empire will not abide the expansion of the SCRA into Omega 50. Omega 50 holds a special place in my heart, and a special place in the Empire, and we do not intend to see it encroached upon vile coalition who have time upon time thrust their asked for peace and welcome only to thrust their knives into the backs off all of those who would call the Omegas and Omicrons home. To the Zoners, we shall give you time to seek out a diplomatic solution, but trust my word, should we begin to think your diplomacy is failing, if we should think that the SCRA are just using talks as a delaying tactic to solidify their actions in our system, the Corsairs, and the Brotherhood in particular will act, unilaterally if necessary to secure Omega 50 from the red threat. Evoking the old earth adage, "Better dead than red."

Miguel Sephardi
