Our brother is allowed to state his opinion on any matter he wishes in any way he wishes.
About those counter conditions. AW does not control Theta and has no control of the docking rights of those bases. The Zoners do. Therefore, we cannot honour in good faith those counter proposals. Those conditions are hardly reasonable like ours. If they want peace with us, then they will have to pay for it. Besides, its not "good business" for the largest Corsair organization ever to grace this side of Sirius unable to buy Zoner goods from their closest stations, don't you agree?
Also, those conditions mentioned by Elder Farquar are not finalised as far as I am aware, I will sort that out at a later date with the rest of the Elders.
This nomad can plant his battleship next to Yaren. It has some of the thickest armour of all the stations in the boarder worlds, for less than obvious reasons which I wont discuss. Couple this with the fact that the still sizable fleet of the Brotherhood and its allied forces will vaporise his ship in a matter of minutes, and you see any smart organism wouldn't go near Yaren, if they valued their life. I think you should be worrying more about the smoldering Freeport 11.
