After negotiations broke down between [IMG] and [PMI], war was ultimately declared against [IMG] and accepted. This news report will keep interested parties up to date with current events relating to that conflict. For reasons of conflict of interest, I, as commander of [IMG] cannot run an impartial news report regarding this conflict. I do vow, however, to release to the media, and the public in general, the facts surrrounding this conflict. All information presented is classified white paper documents for dissemination.
At this time, the Independant Miners Guild [IMG] would like to make this public announcement.
"After much discussion about making things right between us, with several offers and counter offers being presented, then retracted and including [IMG]'s final offer to agree to disagree and continue as we see fit was rejected, there was no other option but to accept war against [PMI]. It was for us the final and only remaining option for us and all our members have faith enough to see this through to its bitter end"
further to this action; the Commander-in-Chief of [IMG] would like to make a statement regarding this conflict.
"WAR update. Capt Dadds, commander of [IMG] military fleet in flagship Liberty, engaged the enemy Madmark31 of [PMI] on 12Jan13 at 03:09 around the orbit of IO, Jupiters 3rd moon. Friendly military loses, zero. Friendly civilian loses, zero. Damage Report, minor overload in ships aux shielding capacitors, shields holding at 94%. Enemy has been totally devastated, retreating unconditionally to emergency jump zone, leaving behind MK X Miner & MK X Harvester, now under friendly control. No other survivors found within the blast zone." It was with regret that aggression had to be used against individuals, and the loss of life it caused. It was not our call to go to war, but we will defend our way of life to the death. We will no longer tolerate repeated attacks against ourselves or passive miners operating around sol. The use of excessive force is condoned to deter those who would subjugate others. I have activated our military wing of the miners guild, and will disrupt all pirate activity where found. Any miners or colonists who wish to raise a complaint against pirate activities, forward them to pilot commander Dadds or his adjutant, Aysle. <message ends>
