It has come to my attention that a group calling themselves Zoners has been acting in a manner inconsistent with Zoner neutrality.
The Asgard Warriors have allied with HF and indirectly with Helghast, thereby giving tacit support for pirate and terrorist attacks.
They have been involved in attacks on all the major houses of Sirius and are considered hostile by groups representing all the house factions.
The AW were part of a fleet responsible for the destruction of an unarmed medical Frigate, an act of terrorism.
A message has been intercepted concerning an attack against civilians on Planet Leeds, another act of terrorism.
Quote:"...We will kill 25,000 of our 1 million prisoners every 24 hours until the SF has pulled all ships out of Liberty space, and declared the decision to stay out of the war currently on-going in Liberty.
Resisting us will result in the destruction of your ships, and the killing of all the prisoners...
Admiral Erinyes, Captain of the Caedo"
There are reports of an AW sponsored attack on civilian targets in California in yet another act of terrorism.
Recently the AW are also reported to have allied with Corsair groups.
These reports are of concern, as Zoner neutrality is the primary reason for our viability.
The major concern is that Zoner neutrality has been adversely affected by the actions of one group.
This is Zoner Transport Pilot Koolmo. I'm quite concerned over this as well, both for the saftey and neutrality of the freeports, but my own buisness. Twice I have nearly been fired upon by these so called 'Zoners' in Omicron Theta, while delivering passengers to Corfu Station. I'm given to undertand that these Corsairs are active in pirating along that passenger route, and I'm unsure of why these 'Zoners' would choose to compromise their own systems by allying with such people.
Also, these acts that they undertake, such as fighing wars against the houses and allying with Corsairs, are by defenition unlawful. As any good Zoner knows, we don't break the law, and it says so on all our transponders. So, would these mercinaries not be in violation of the terms of their own transponders by these actions?
I couldn't help noticing your wide band transmission. Here is my response.
We, the BrotherHood affiliated with the Corsairs are, to clarify, Neutral with the AW.
We do however, pirate ask for donations along numerous trade routes. Any that do not donate are swiftly dealt with. We simply want to have a decent standard of living. We make this from donations.
The AW and the BrotherHood share the same ideals at the moment for crushing the Sirius Fedaration, and this links us to disposing of the SA in California. What I will not tolerate is the open statement that we are allied with the AW or any Zoner faction. Remember that the Zoners refused to let us build a station in Omicron Theta.
We work together simply because it suits both of our factions to do so at the time. When this changes, we will no longer work together.
Sadly, I must also bear witness upon the sad state of affairs in relation to the Zoner splitter group. As a participant in the action outside LA the LNS-Redbear scanned the opposing fleet and noticed grouped within the force was a Xeno pirate. Has the AW fallen so far that they traffic with known terrorists the bane of Sirius sector. The most troubling is the Bsl-Order faction, Hacker, and others also allowed such scum to fill their ranks. Xenos have no love for order. Also, the Bsl seems to have coruppted a young Kishiro employee who has sided with such unlawful acts and it can not be tolerated. I propose the AW be branded for what they are, Pirates! If it sounds like a duck, looks like a duck, and acts like a duck, its a Pirate.
And the worst scenario is they couch their personal vendetta in some sense of self-righteousness. If one could listen into their conversations it would amaze you for they would acknowledge they are working with PIRATES.
One thing to add about this pathetic besmirching of the Zoners' good name:
Until recently, the Fishin' Fool, my personal sampan, was tagged and bagged Zoner. After all, my best friend and business partner is a well-respected Plantation owner on Gran Canaria.
I accepted an invitation from a good friend to fish for those wonderful Marlin on Planet Los Angeles. When I arrived, all hell had broken loose. The SA were fighting for their lives against the most bizarre collection of thieves, reprobates, and strangely tagged assailants I have ever seen. It was disgraceful.
I entered the encounter in aid of my good friend Oso-san, but to little avail.. Most of the scum had already run with tails between legs.
I later received private comes from one of these lowlife, whining his guts out about a Zoner ID'd and tagged vessel entering the engagement. What a laugh when I think about it now! However, to mollify this individual, I immediately changed the ID and afilliation on my Sampan to avoid the slightest whiff of further "scandal".
And now, it appears that these so-called Zoners want their cake and wish to gloat over it as it gobs all over their snivelling chins. I ask you, Luciaden. When will you be man enough to admit that you are as much allied with the zoners and their ideals as the man in the bloody moon?
My name is Saul Rothschild. I do not feel any contempt towards the AW, or anything they have done so far. Any AW or Zoner is still welcome to take a loan or open an account at our bank.
I must say that my past experience with the Zoners have been good, in the sense that they are lax bargainers and friendly, laid back, pacific people. Even though I would never join your ranks, I like you.
Thus, I must ask. Is this alliance, alignment, or bondage?
This could affect our money laundering business.
You can interpret that as a question or a rhetorical.
Yours,
Saul Rothschild

As a independent trader of a small company, I had a good relationship with the SF. The company was always doing trade with goods not regarded as contraband by the SF, and I talked with their officers in a gentle manner, to avoid the boredom of trading. In one of these talks, I asked them about the dangers of a profitable route, the one that go from Cambridge to Omicron Tetha. I remember quite well that one of their first answers was something like "you do not want to concern about the Asgard Warriors, they dont attack traders". Knowing they were at war, I saw that as a statement of respect between opponents. I never had problems with these zoners, and who attacked the Casanova were the corsairs from the Brotherhood, not the AW.
Now what I see here is, in my opinion, a blatant war propaganda, filled with grief. Admiral RedBear, with due respect, why the SA dont care more with the HF and the Brotherhood? These are the real threats in my opinion, and other traders agree with me as well. I cant enter California right now because of their attacks. Its in the news: "lane hackers and corsairs destroyed several transports at Los Angeles orbit" (SNN), "pirates strikes again: terror at Los Angeles orbit damages trade, estimated losses are 1,5 billion credits" (Sirius AP). No reference to the AW, because they dont attack traders. So, I asking you to do peace with the AW, and concentrate more your efforts in the pirate threat.

Greetings,
Your answer is in your communication to me. Where are these actions taking place? Who is a long way from home? Have you researched the actions of those who have traveled dozens of systems to launch said attacks. Plus, refer to the beginning of the SA. I have yet to find the true cause of the venom exhibited by those who call themselves warriors. In addition, dipolmatic treaties have been attempted on many fronts. In my humble opinion this is a personal vendetta not a true war to defend innocences. For example,
AW conspired with CCE to attack SA and failed to appear.
AW initiated hunts of the newly formed SA in Jan. I can attest for I was approached by [AW] Jbags when member of Red Hessians to participate in a hunt.
AW has made pronouncement to end war if SF leaves Liberty and allow HF and SA fight it out. The SA has accepted challenge.
My friend we at the SA value Liberty. The AW has tarnished the meaning of Asgard and are not Warriors if they continue this horrible war they declared on SA.

Carrying unmounted IDs in your ship, as well as not equipping an ID, is a serious crime.
There. That's the Zoner Infocard. The important part has been bolded.
Any questions? No? Good. My point is made.

The statements regarding the safety of Omicron Theta to traders, can no longer be considered valid after recent assistance of the AW in support of the Brotherhood. The AW although not attacking traders directly have assisted in promoting the Brotherhood's attacks by engaging and occupying our forces. Traders may well be safe in Omicron Theta from AW attacks. But with the AW fighting the SF and aiding the Brotherhood, good luck getting to it. We have since been providing traders with alternative routes that the SF can provide better coverage on.
