There is a small nuisance in our territory. A Zoner base called Theta Resort, that prides itself as being "Open for all". It is located between the Napo cloud and Freeport 9 in Ionia, known as Omicron Theta.
Nothing is open in our territory. I inquire in the possibility of participation of your forces in this demolition campaign.
The opportunity to shed Zoner blood presents itself.

Open for all, you say? An opportunity presents itself, as The Black Sails' storage facilities struggle with a surplus of cannonballs. We'll throw a bunch their way, with our best regards.
A Black Sails battlegroup will rendezvous your fleet in Omicron Gamma.
The installation is not defended. Instruct your warriors to collect detailed after action reports on the structural damage caused by our weaponry. The weaponsmiths would appreciate to know more about how our cannons performs against Zoner stations.
However, the local cavemen might take the matters personally. Be on guard, if this happens.
I will send an encoded signal whenever we are ready to play our moves.

Commander,
It's been a while since I last put a hole on a station, but as far as I am aware their structural composition remains the same as we all know it. You can do your analysis as much as you like, the Black Sails will adjust the fire intensity over the visual confirmation of the inflicted damage.
Our token fleet has arrived to Tripoli Shipyard and it's currently being resupplied. Once concluded, we'll head out to terrorize dem Zoners in order to break their spirits before we go down to the real business.
Also, a small comment that slipped my mind. I expect you to be Fabricius, the commander of the ship who bears the same name, part of the Deterrence Fleet. If so, we expect you and your faction to lead the operation against the Zoners. Do not expect the Black Sails to act as meat shields between you and the Zoners.
Recipient: Fabricius Sender: Arthur Ortega Location: Battlecruiser Noche Eterna
Our terms are unnegotiable, commander.
The Black Sails will not spearhead an attack on a zoner installation located within the heart of the Empire. Firstly, our main assets are not in reach. Secondly, I fail to see why you need a third party to lead this operation since the installation lies in the backyard of two major Corsair factions.
As of such, enjoy the extra firepower the Black Sails can provide to your fleet or faction, which are veiled in secrets at this point, or deal with the installation on your own.
