Greetings commander, I am Lord Mysteron, founder of The Dark Armada, servant of the unbreakable Empire, wielder of the sword of a thousand lies and keeper of the sacred egg of Mantoombi, at your service. Guan Tun is a fine system and a good choice, you appear to be expanding into many of The Dark Armada legacy systems however this is of no consequence. Unlike our communist enemies we are not greedy and we welcome you to continue your expansions in any direction you like. There may be a few systems where The Armada would eventually like to reassert control, these are known as wrath systems and we will be, how can I put this, correcting history in some of these systems.
As for your problems the with red plague of communism, unfortunately you are not the first and won't be the last to suffer at the hands of this aggressively expansionist cult-like movement. They have trampled many small factions such as yourself in their rampage to spread communism throughout the galaxy. But fear not, there were some who resisted... We have battled them for aeons and after years of struggle we have forced them to flee their home territory and we are turning the tide against them. We have slowly but surely built up a well organised coalition of factions that even includes the Federation, other Imperial factions and several independents. We have been coordinating for quite some time and are now successfully suppressing the red plague on multiple fronts.
You will be pleased to know that The Dark Armada now controls their home system of Manite and we are currently dismantling their former communist bubble. It has been renamed Z.O.D ( the Zone Of Darkness ) and we are offering any factions the freedom to take to take up residence or adopt any systems or factions in Z.O.D the mass of systems between Manite and Checha. In a historic coalition against a common foe, both Federation and Imperial factions are purging multiple communist systems. You will have our support in this fight and you need not fear the Armada. Despite a years long campaign by our communist enemies to portray us as some kind of monstrous evil, our true goal is to aid those who cannot defend themselves against a relentless arrogant foe. We have resorted home rule to many of the factions destroyed by the red plague and we believe every faction has a right to control their home system.
May you rise in darkness...
