Calling all Federation Commanders - We are at War with the Empire

The Empire have Responded

Federation Commanders,

With news of this operation recently going public, one thing is now for certain, the Empire have responded.

Imperial activity in Liaedin was extremely high yesterday and we have reports coming in of Operation Blossom agents and other Federation commanders being interdicted and interrogated in the system.

We have confirmed intel now showing that the EIC (East India Company) have launched their own counter operation to stamp out what we are doing here.

Their Imperial operation is working commanders, their numbers far outweigh ours and they have managed to swing the influence numbers by 10% overnight.

Here is the latest report we have on the situation in Liaedin.

This Empire views the Federation as weak, they see our efforts here as a mild annoyance and one which they can easily stamp out. They have told us that we cannot win this as this statement from a high ranking member of the EIC shows

"You cannot win, EIC has more allies, more pilots, more.....everything really.....than you".

I call upon all commanders of the Federation to come to Liaedin immediately and support the Crimson Fortune Company, show the Empire that we are not weak but that we are strong. Show them that we do not fear their might but are ready to stand up and face it.

God Speed Commanders

Hmm, I may just have to abandon my mercenary activity to support the efforts of the Federation. Truth is, I have no love for the Empire...

+1 kudos to the CMDRs behind this current operation - excellent RP work! ;)

For the record, the "Expansion" in Volungu has been around for a very long time, this "expansion" is nothing recent. While Volungu is the business of the Federation, this activity in Liaedin should worry everyone who wants to avoid war in the human-settled portion of the galaxy. Everyone knows how hard it is to expand into other systems. One expansion is hard enough, 3 or 4 with LOTS AND LOTS of concerted effort by a large group of players. But in Liaedin? Only one expansion, and it was around since launch day. So these words by the OP is just a bunch of fear-mongering that, at best, distracts from other pro-federation activities and at worst starts a fight that they will not be able to win. The fact that they went public with this reflects their desperation once the Empire community realized what was going on and put a stop to these foolish activities.


But here is what kills me. "The attack on the Federation by the Empire that this operation was trying so desperately to prevent has begun."


So, first a band of rogue federation-aligned pilots try undercover attacks on the Lieadin system, and then when the blow-back occurs in Volungu (war) as a result of these rogue actions, they view it as an attack and act all self defensive? It appears that these rogue feds / terrorists are the aggressor in this situation, not the EMPIRE. So much for your democracy and peace eh? "Preemptive strikes" on a peaceful system not harming anyone all the way, right? Show proof that Liaedin has been harmful. I'm demanding statistics, graphs, and Empire forum screen shots proving that there has been so-called "secret" activities in the Liaedin area. Odds are good that you have nothing of the sort, and it's all a bunch of fear-mongering conspiracy theories and circumstantial evidence.

The peaceful way out of this is to squash the war in Volungu while killing the influence of Crimson Fortune Company in Liaedin. This is the best solution for those interested in peace and not war. Liaedin is an empire Embassy so new players get to experience what the Empire has to offer them, as well as a convenient location to turn in Empire bounties. One Empire system amongst a sea of independent and federation systems is not a threat to anyone, but is a rather easy target for anti-Empire terrorists too weak to actually carry out operations deep in Empire space.

If you really cared about freedom and democracy, you would have opposed Senator Patraeus and fought for the Friends of Kui Hsien, or maybe helped out the Merchant Marines with Operation Papercut. But your focus on Liaedin blinded you to the conflict in Kui Hsien, and now the whole population is enslaved as a result of your distractions and inaction. You should re-assess what battles are worth fighting, and which should be avoided.

Good points. I'l be bringing food and medication to the area not bullets and beam lasers. There must be a peaceful option... The communities of Federation and Empire are co-existing in the same system of the Anarchy system of Falisci merely light seconds away from each other and only 50ly from Achenar. Can we not achieve the same? I have not seen any official calls to arms from the Empire or Federation.

A combined effort to drive out the growing influence of the Laiedin Mafia seems the logical step to bring peace and stability to the area rather than let them take advantage of this volatile situation.

These activities have let them grow unchecked from nothing to gaining 1.6 % control in a state of outbreak.

The Empire's aggression in the Liaedin system CANNOT be overlooked. Not long ago the Empire drove out the Federation's permanent force at Wilson Base and declared the system a part of the Empire. How long must the Blossom family suffer under the grip of the Faveols and their Imperial allies? Enough is enough. The Federation has an equal claim to the system and we will not rest until the Federation has at least one outpost in the system to allow us to maintain the peace by keeping a watchful eye Imperial operations from this forward base of operations.

If you actually talk to the Imperials in Liaedin, be respectful, and comply with their directions (you are in their space, after all), you might find them less prone to having a shoot-on-sight attitude with you. But if the Imperials interdict you, and you just run or flip the bird at them or generally act non-compliant, I hope for your sake that you are good at running away. :)

Typical war-mongering rhetoric from a fear-mongering point of view. All "aggression" in Liaedin was conducted by rogue pilots claiming to be acting on behalf of the Federation community. The Empire community put a stop to it by declaring a temporary lockdown to send a message that these terrorist activities would not be tolerated. These rogues clearly do not approve of letting new pilots see what the Empire is like. Perhaps it is because they fear that the lies and propaganda of the Federation will be exposed upon visiting Liaedin, and lose pilots to their cause because of the dishonest practices of those who claim to be for "peace and democracy".

Also, you should read up on your history. The Federation gave up Liaedin utterly and completely, for all time eternal, as a result of the peace treaty between the Empire and Federation. Liaedin is a symbol of PEACE in the region, but by attacking Liaedin, you are attacking peace itself. This excuse that you need a station to monitor Liaedin is false, and giving in to your demands is foolish since it would be the beginning of the end of peace in Liaedin (since the station would be used as leverage to stage a complete takeover), and the start of a wider war between the Federation and the Empire in general. This is utterly unacceptable, and everyone knows it.

I cannot say they are wrong in thinking this way. The Clipper is also a pretty strong argument in favor of joining the Empire, and the Imperial courier will soon be added to this lineup of sexy Imperial ships. It's not the Empire's fault the Clipper is so much cooler than that garbage bin you call a "Federal Dropship". :D

I enjoy eating the Clipper with my vulture.

Theodore Schneider bequeathed Liaedin to two families, the Blossoms and the Faveols, and by extension the Empire and the Federation. For many years both sides maintained starports in the systems. Where is the Federation starport now? A group of loyal commanders began to canvass the people of Liaedin for a return to the intended legacy of Theodore Schneider and when the people of Liaedin proved sympathic to the plight of the Blossom family the Empire sent in the EIC to blockade the system fearful of the growing support to Liaedin's rightful status-quo. At the same time Patron's Principles began a war in the Federation system of Volungu.
