A Message from the Corsairs Regarding the NMLA and Accusations from Straylight Systems
26 Apr 2021Billboards
A Message from Grand Vizier Billboards of the Imperial Corsairs.It truly is a travesty to be accused of such horrid crimes. The Imperial Corsairs consist of Pirates and mentors, terrorists we are not. The only true terrorists are the ones who deceive, lie, and work against the Empire, as Straylight had. They had decimated Lozin, burning the citizens and destroying unarmed traders under a flag of peace. The massacre of unarmed citizens and traders alike cannot be overlooked, and no bounty large enough can stop them from attacking us further. The Imperial Corsairs had many times perceived peace as an option, but these fanatics cannot be reasoned with. Betrayal is a common practice of theirs, as they had betrayed Tharik Otoli, myself, and Imperials alike all in hopes of causing destruction and chaos among the Empire's ranks. Peace is not an option, as they will use it, use you, to hurt others.
An outreach of our hand in the name of peace was offered, and they spit in it. What followed was a bloody, brutal conflict in which they had refused to surrender or even acknowledge their citizens cries for help. The war would have ended with a simple pact, one in which each side does not interact further. The war raged on however, and they showed no sign of relenting. This is not the mindset of a true Imperial, but one of a terrorist. Straylight seeks to destroy, corrupt, and undermine the Empire and Her Imperial Majesty, as well as the Corsairs and those under her rule. They are not the victims they preach to be, but rather the aggressors in this conflict, and they choose not to end it. The Corsairs have ended the siege on their planet, cutting losses, but instilling a new government of a People's Patronage, hopefully they serve the Empire better in Straylight's stead. However our adversaries continue to bombard our systems, and have Fleet Carriers dealing with back-alley organizations in an attempt to hurt our infrastructure. Every day our system authorities put their lives on the line, only to be met with unbeatable odds as Straylight slaughters without remorse. How many people have they killed? How many will they continue to kill? These are the questions we must ask ourselves, and prepare against for upcoming battles on home-soil.
To you, members under their leadership. See this, and know that you are fighting the wrong war. This is not simply to end the Corsairs and their allies, this is to end all Imperials alike.
The only true monsters are the ones which you believe in, and believing in Chad VanGaalen will only lead to ruin. He is taking advantage of the lives lost, the disarray caused by NMLA propaganda, and using it to fulfill his petty desire of watching his Imperial brothers fall. The accusations of Hadrian Duval are baseless on their own. Words from a terrorist are not to be trusted, and yet Straylight preaches these words to be undeniable truths. The information displayed in the Galnet Article states, "as yet this information has not been verified, and its source remains anonymous." Truth? I think not. Words spoken from an NMLA terrorist are not to be trusted, and anonymous, shady sources are not credible as evidence. An early effort to undermine the Empire by latching on to these false ideas is exactly what this is. See these atrocities now fellow Imperials, and know what is happening. They may not be from NMLA, but terrorists and false Imperials they most certainly are. I do not ask that you destroy them, dismantle them, or attack them. I simply ask that you see this and deny them the title of Imperial and truthful, as they had done the same to us.
Hadrian Augustus Duval is a trusted and close ally of the Imperial Corsairs, and all evidence proves his innocence. The attack on Hadrian Duval by NMLA terrorists provides undeniable evidence he is not the mastermind behind the attacks. Injured and in critical condition, it is only the efforts of Princess Aisling Duval that had saved him. A terrorist organization would not attempt such a dangerous attack as to cripple their leader almost beyond recovery, it would simply be too risky. 3 People were killed that day. and if not for the efforts of Princess Aisling Duval, Hadrian would be among those lost. Nova Imperium had also participated in the destruction of NMLA supporters "Order of Mudhrid". The destruction of NMLA forces by Nova is clear indication of who Nova supports, the Empire. It would simply be detrimental for Nova to attack the NMLA assuming they are allied, there is no point and it only weakens both sides for future conflicts. Hear me Imperials and Commanders alike! Hadrian Duval is not a terrorist, his loyalty lies with the Empire, not cowards who hide behind lies and guerilla bombings.
Godspeed fellow Commanders, and may we work together during these trying times to rid this universe of the filth that plagues it.
