Intergalactic Summit

And it appears that -YF- welcomes that conflict with determination that the CVA-bloc will prevail. This won't end well.

Back during the first invasion of Providence, Against ALL Authorities were not known as an alliance with excessive capital/supercapital strength. PL were. AAA effortlessly crushed CVA (with the help of U'K). Now, it appears CVA is picking a fight with someone who is historically able to field even more firepower on the capital field. It just sounds like a bad decision.

Oh and of course, the irony of CVA fighting for "freedom" and access of everyone to Providence is amazing. CVA cut access to anyone they do not like, and charge anyone who can dock obnoxious fees to do so. None of their stations are freeports. PL's is.

What's next, attacking 9UY4-H? Another invasion of Catch? At what point does good sense and strategy become more important than overinflated egos and hungry fat wallets? Or... does it ever?

Two wealthy, corrupt and morally bankrupt organizations fighting over lawless space far from civilization...

This is of any concern to the rest of us, why?

For what it's worth coming from a non-involved third party who has little knowledge of the political and military background here, I'd answer this question in general by saying 'no'. There's nothing wrong with engaging in conflict with a slaveholding entity if your intention is to liberate those slave - though a diplomatic solution should still be preferred.

But, again from an outsider's point of view, if you start with one rationale for war, and -- that justification having been questioned -- fall back to slave liberation as a reserve justification, then I would say you undermine the credibility of both cases for war. In that case it would start to look more as though you're itching for a fight on whatever grounds you think you can make stick.

If you want otherwise neutral observers to accept your position then you've got to make it consistent.

Cockroaches do that, and they have no spine. I do not believe CVA is any different.

Except the ones that tend to get crushed under the heel of someone's boot.

Pandemic Legion stomps about in very big boots.

LADY STARFIRE IS NOT A COCKROACH AND HAS SURVIVED A NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST! WHY DO YOU TWO ARMS KEEP TRYING TO KEEP THE ONE ARM LIBERATION FRONT DOWN! WE ARE NOT COCKROACHES!!

I also consider this ample retribution for your actions, CVA, against our peaceful space-settlement known as 9UY4-H.

I did not red even first line of your message, but let me say this, space wench. CVA Does not attack to the people of Providence without my broadcasting. We are not best friends with CVA, but there is line where Imperial Pharmacy allows this rubbish to go. I happily use every opportorinty against CVA, but this kind of slander is out of option.

So long as CVA has reigned the Providence, our home, there has been not red dont shoot policy, which has been enforced with piety and some times with pure strenght. You have no claims to use against CVA to violate their policy, nor thier allies.

I Lord Vaari, earl of Sosan VII, founder and despot of the Imperial Pharmacy, golden mountain, self proclaimed prophet, carrier of the Heaven's ligth, speaker of unquestioned truth, hero of the Providence, vanquished of the BoB alliance and many more impressive titles will promise this;

If you, work against my loyal friends, I will work against you.

Hail friends, neighbors.

It has always been a dream of most of us who live in the providence area, that someday we would be able to turn the space over to the Empire. A bustling and beatified area in space filled with people who rejoice in the favor of God and the Empire. I mean what other reason could there be for holding an area of space? Never forget that :
the Lord sent forth the Chosen, to bring forth the light of faith And those
who embrace his love Shall be saved by his grace.
For we are his shepherds in the darkness, His Angels of Mercy! But those who turn away from his light, And reject his true word Shall be struck down by his wrath. For we are his retribution
incarnate, His Angels of Vengeance —Book of Reclaiming 4:45.

What does this mean to you? This means we want to be friends with everyone, and to prove that point we live by the NRDS rules of engagement. This means that in reality, providence is a giant Freeport for everyone, who does not go about shooting wantonly and indiscriminately neutrals and holders/friends..

On the other hand, let’s talk a bit about who the “Enemy” really is. Is PL our enemy? No, not really.
Our enemies are those that seek to bring chaos and darkness to the universe and the Empire where we seek to bring light and enlightenment. Do they stomp with a big boot? Yup, but when the dust subsides we will still be here., bringing light to those without hope, and without a shining lamp to show them the way.

And you know what? This is why we have won over so many for God and the Empire. The Holders will always be here. Why, you ask? Because in the beginning when all things were one, God parted them and breathed life into his creation. He then divided the parts and gave each his place. And unto each, bestowed purpose.
(Book I I:4)

Our purpose as reclaimers is to reclaim providence for God and Empire. NRDS is one of the ways that will help us reach our goals, it’s really that simple.

Exactly what mistake is CVA making here? Whilst they are certainly making a stand-point against a bigger organisation, I don't really see the mistake.

For years, CVA have laid claim to Providence, on behalf of the Empire. My (limited) understanding with regards to CVA's war with -A- some time ago, was that CVA invaded the Catch region, perhaps biting off more than they could chew and upsetting a neighbour that was happy to leave CVA alone. Given that the system CVA are now taking control of is in Providence, I fail to see what the problem is.

I certainly hope this is resolved between CVA and PL.
