CLM promises more aggressive action against pilots in Latos

Corvus has done a brief interview on the current actions happening in Latos H-2. News Journalanist Marcoulis Ordia of Corvus interviewed Trailox a council member of CLM. And here what he had to say to all of this:

"This is a Final Warning to all pilots, Latos is CLM Space. We have warned you all to leave Latos H2 But you continue your combat practice. From here on out CLM will not standby and watch you invade our territory. No Trader shall pass without paying and anyone doing combat maneuvers in our space will have one hail to leave the sector or they will be shot. Do not take this lightly, this is not a Joke."

I find this slightly amusing, considering how completely empty Latos is of pirates for the vast majority of the time.

-----INCOMING TRANSMISSION------

CARGO LIBERATION MOVEMENT DECLARES PEACE IN LATOS
(For CLM, Anyway...)

CLM today declared officially that no action into, inside, or on the borders of Latos will be allowed without CLM permission. Any operations within Latos will be strictly controlled by CLM operatives. All trade, combat excersises, and blatent combat in system must cease immediately, or face CLM's overwhelming force.

Asked to comment further, one CLM operative (who refused to be named for this article) said, "Itani and Serco guilds have no excuse for staging combat 'excersizes' so far from their own very protected space."

Another, non CLM pilot in the area concurred, "The only excuse for the Serco and Itani Battle to enter grey and UIT bordered areas is to put preasure on the UIT to choose a side, ecconomically if not militarilly, and let one or the other storm about and conquer the galaxy. As soon as the UIT (and the massive production capability the UIT possesses) falls to one of the Nations, the war is over, and the galaxy as we know it will be over. Heil to the conquers? No. Pity the conquered."

Many believe these recent deep incursions are military tests against one or both Major nations making a military play on grey space and possibly northward into UIT controlled space as well.

Another man has this to say: ""It's Blak! [The now disbanded Black Lance Guild -ed.] Has to be. They're like 50-armed puppeteers, pulling their strings all over the galaxy, steering every one of us toward their own devious end game!"

Whatever the cause of the recent increase in distubances in Latos, CLM has said, in no small words, no more:

"This is a Final Warning to all pilots, Latos is CLM Space. We have warned you all to leave Latos H2 But you continue your combat practice. From here on out CLM will not standby and watch you invade our territory. No Trader shall pass without paying and anyone doing combat maneuvers in our space will have one hail to leave the sector or they will be shot. Do not take this lightly, this is not a Joke."

I just spent an hour in Latos H-2 duelling and watching the convoys drift past.

I have yet to see evidence of any sort of CLM presence since the last round of declarations.

Any absolute claim to a system in grey is folly.

Nolan Faux woke up early to an awful lot of noise outside his two day old apartment. Sliding from underneath the arm of his beloved, he exited into the corridor to see what was amiss.

There were people everywhere. Belongings pulled behind them or carried, hastily packed. Everywhere Nolan looked, he saw panic in their eyes. Face after face of his Epsilon Hold neighbors passed by hurriedly, escaping something that Nolan didn't understand.

Back inside, Nolan took a seat at the table with his handheld to try and figure out what was up. It took him only a moment to find the press release. Before he even finished reading it, he felt her arms around him.

"What is it?"
"They've made it official. Declared war before we did. People are evacuating Latos, it seems."

Nolan planted a kiss on her cheek before moving to suit up.

Warning to all CLM pilots!

Any agression toward SKV ships on active patrol duty in the system of Latos will be considered as an act of war and will provoke our full armed response.
You have been warned.

official statement from the coalition of [itan]

with all due respect to trailox and the cargo liberation mouvement, the coalition of [itan] does not recognise claims of ownership or territorial rights over any grey space system to any faction, nation or guild, be them multi-national or not.

with this in mind, any threat or action brought forward by a [clm] element or one of it's supporters in attempt to enforce this unrecognized claim will be met with the appropriate response.

furthermore, the coalition of [itan] will ensure protection of any of it's allies should it be in position to help in the case of any aggressive posture from [clm] towards those whom [itan] has vowed to protect:

- any itani pilot not on it's aggression list
- any member of [pa] or [tgtf] with whom the coalition has an official treaty
- any member of [ssc] with whom [itan] has officious agreement with

the coalition of [itan] supports the skygge vakter group in it's warning to [clm] and is prepared to act accordingly.

You will all be brought into the Fold, as soon as I find Borb and take care of some other business. Latos, like all systems, belongs to the Serco Dominion and the Glory of Lady Serco.

Earlier today, in an unprecedented show of force, pilots from CDC, TGFT, and ITAN cleared Latos H-2 of all CLM activities.

Though ITAN members were not directly involved in the battle, I Dr.Drazed, was there with a repair-hog ensuring victory for free trade in the area.

The battle was fierce and long, but all our pilots were kept at 100% with efficient in-battle repairs. Near the end of the battle CLM grew desperate and began using spam rags (illegalized by all civilized worlds) to try to turn the direction of battle to no avail.

Let this be a warning to CLM and any other guild that thinks it can keep a firm hold on grey space. FREEDOM PREVAILS!!!

SSC was also involved. The battle was fierce and chaotic, if I missed anyone else please let me know :D

Mystic looked at this statement, then at the transcript snippet of logs from CLM's comm units in Latos H-2....

[11/29/06 10:38:00] *drazed* This is Itan controlled space. Leave immideatly or you will be fired upon.
[11/29/06 10:38:03] [100] <Joyce C.> ^^


Mystic composes a transmission with this information to the commander of ITAN, along with a note of her own "Seems your own members do not agree with your public statement of no one controlling greyspace. CLM did not come to Itani space and try to take control,however your pilot represents that is your intention in our home space. Do you really expect us not to defend with the same ferocity?"

Unfair Mystic, /me just setup hailsuite binds and kept pushing the wrong buttons. Check the rest of your logs and you will see that I was just testing my new hailsuite.

You will also see that I (nor any other ITAN) did not kill any member of CLM during combat, I was only a medic for the trader guilds. I killed tri-tip, but he is not a member of CLM, and he fired swarms at me over and over, I had no choice but to defend myself :(

Initially I was there to repair everyone, but was fired upon by several CLM members while repairing their ships.

Mmmm... War between CLM and SKV?
Tricky, that...

And CDC, TGFT, ITAN? At least there's one competent guild opposing us.
Nov 29, 2006 tumblemonster link
ITAN- Supporting our enemies makes you our Enemy.

Nice list.

At least SKV is competent and honest. They have no claims to grey, they fight when provoked. ITAN has no claims to grey either. They fight when they think they can outnumber us, and when they can't, they run off to defend "their borders".

Maybe CLM should bring the fight to ITANs doorstep in Edras. Why settle for grey when we can take blue as well?
Nov 29, 2006 MysticRogue link
Ok drazed, I can accept that those hails were not intentional, but my point about us defending our home space still stands. No one can expect us to do less for our home than Serco or Itani defending theirs.

As far as I know, CLM has had no issues with SKV, I personally have not ran into any SKV conducting manuevers or anything of the sort in H2.

SKV pilots have no official presence in Latos. However, due to the nature of our operations, often times it is required for us to be in the area or pass through. As Bojan stated, CLM pilots will not be attacked, but we will respond accordingly if attacked ourselves. We also have a duty to respond to distress calls from Itani traders. That is the extent of our activity in Latos that I can report at the moment.
