Preamble
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to oppose the political bands which have connected humanity with one another for so long, and to assume among the powers of the earth and galaxy, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
Statements of wrongs to be addressed.
Firstly, that the Empire and Federation have attempted to govern the affairs of man in such a way as has led to a deep divide between human kind, that seems at once irreparable and has led to further divides between kith and kin.
Secondly, that despite constant request for redress, the systems are run with disregard for the individual and their expression of freedom. This is proven by innumerable laws against particular avenues of production and is visibly identifiable by the bland variety of stations and docking ports across the known galaxy.
Thirdly, we include The Alliance in this system of corruption due mainly to it’s insistence that free states be ruled by economic might and power. Corporate greed is the beginning of all evil.
Fourthly, the intolerance for religious belief and actions that might lead to the questioning of authority claimed by the ‘leaders of the known galaxy.’ Religious freedom is the right of all free humans, regardless of its faults and inadequacies.
Fifthly, we believe it is the right of all free peoples to conduct their own commercial trade free of Federation regulation and Imperial oversight, that it is within a system devoid of corporate conglomerates, governmental inspection and interference that true wealth, liberty and the pursuit of happiness can be enjoyed.
Archon Delaine
While it is true that Archon Delaine does personify some of these negative traits, he mostly pursues a policy that allows for the development and growth of creative trade, ideas and cultures. He is the last bastion for billions of people against an overreaching Empire and the greedy clutching hands of the Federation. While some of our collective may personally find many of his methods distasteful, in this case the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
Counter Arguments
Belief 1:
Archon Delaine is pro slavery.
Fact: Delaine allows the trade of slavery to exist within the borders of his protection, with the belief that over time the goodness of our human souls shall extinguish it. Delaine himself does require the ferrying of slaves from political dissidents and traitorous families. This is much preferable to alternative approaches of capital punishment and life imprisonment which are employed throughout the vast majority of the Federation, Alliance and Imperial systems. With times, these slaves may even re integrate themselves into society, free of the troublesome political beliefs they once believed fervently.
In the words of one ancient political leader.
“If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.”
Archon may be the devil to some, but to others he is the last best hope of humanity.
Belief 2:
Archon Delaine’s uprising is causing further breaking of political bonds necessary for the health of humanity.
Fact: The Archon believes in a system that allows all to thrive. It is a confederation of peoples working together for the common good without the necessity of common law that is at once oppressive to minorities and uplifting of the bourgeoisie.
Belief 3:
Archon Delaine is lining his own coffers.
Fact: It is the right of all peoples to pursue wealth if they do desire, but Archon neither expects nor forces all people to adhere to an economic system they do not believe in. Their goods are not taxed if they do not wish it, and there are a great deal of religious, secular and debauched planets within the systems of Delaine. Each to their own, and all for one another in the cause of freedom.
Closing Statement
With this document I hear by publicly acknowledge my pledge to Archon Delaine towards this end: freedom for all humanity. Freedom to pursue what religion and belief system they so choose. Freedom to be released from the chains of tyranny in its main forms; economical, religious, Imperial and regulatory.
I ask all to consider the cause and request their aid in combatting the evils of the Imperium, and the Federation, while pleading to the commanders and leaders of The Alliance that they remember their first calling. Freedom for all.
