An interesting turn of phrase when considering the source.

Those are quite loaded word choices. I shall endeavor to be precise, because otherwise I run the risk of inaccuracy, which would be unfair and untruthful.

Individual members of Stillwater pursue a variety of activities, most of which would not fall into any of those brackets in anything other than the most uncharitable of interpretations. (1) There are some Stillwater members whose complete activities would be regarded as entirely legal and proper in any jurisdiction.

Slavers
There are no current organised activities in this area. Stillwater capsuleers do not directly engage in the taking of slaves, nor in the organised transport of such. We have no slave-related activity in Minmatar, Gallente, or Caldari controlled space. Slavery remains legal in areas influenced by the Amarr empire and Stillwater capsuleers have engaged in ancillary activities related to the slave trade. In addition, individual Stillwater capsuleers do have access to some indentured employees.

Drug-dealers
There is no Stillwater involvement in the illegal trade of drugs. Some drugs with varying legal statuses are available within the Stillwater sphere of operations. The corporation takes no moral position on this issue.

Piracy
Stillwater will act to protect its sphere of operation from interference and espionage. In some cases this involves enforcement outside the bounds imposed by the Empire-controlled CONCORD organisation. We reject the term "piracy", in particular because we do not currently make a profit from this enforcement.

We are not saints, particularly not when judged according to rules imposed by those currently in power, and we are affiliated with organisations that take a looser approach to these matters.

A good bit of truth to be honest Ma'dame, and more still.

Not playing by the rules others set often enough garners disrepute. Real or imagined.

This is what I meant by "not different in terms of content, but in terms of presentation".

Excuse the crude analogy...But if you take some crap, cover it in bread crumbs and asiago cheese, deep-fry it, and serve it on a plate with some tomato sauce and pepper aioli, it's still a piece of ****.

Thank you.

Well. maybe, but you could certainly charge more for it, and if you had to eat it, it might be easier to swallow.

By the way, those are very nice and expensive-looking clothes you have on in your portrait.

Someone should get their hardwiring checked; that kind of a thing can be dangerous, after all.

We endeavour to provide both, with panache and style.

I'm sorry, it's hard to take this corporation seriously.

Just my two cents.
