Notice: To counter the growing Confederate threat, Rebel patrols will be stepped up to assure law-abiding traders can move around freely without harrassment. Due to a shortage in manpower, these patrols will not be effective until more pilots are acquired. Therefore, the recruiting of Serconian pilots will begin shortly. Because of a strict policy against attacking trading vessels, pirates need not apply. There is no salary, but if you're looking for excitement, adventure, and hold an eternal grudge against the Confederation, join today!

OOC: Contact "Rebel Manta" in-game for recruitment info. Please note that Rebel ships will only be fighting Confederate pilots, not Itanis or NT's. This is just fun pseudo-RPing, not an attempt to grief every pilot we come across. If that's not your cup of tea, please don't join. :)

The Rebel Mantas can rest assured that the Neutral Territories will lend the force of its militia to the cause of overthrowing Confederate Tyrrany.

You know our comm frequency.

The SDF will not take a side in this effort but will not interefere with the effort. The SDF is curerntly in diplomatic ties with both sides in the conflict and unless negotiations with one side breaks down, the SDF will remain neutral unless otherwise forced to engage. The SDF will however enforce it's borders with the same vigilance as before and will fire if fired upon.

The Serco Navy would be greatly honored to aid the Rebellion in its noble cause.
Just call on me and whenever i can spare manpower, material and time, i will lend as much of it as i can reasonably give.

In lieu of previous hostilities as noted, this pilot will join the cause to end the aggressions from the Confederation.

I would call attention to the name of this thread, which references to the Confederate "menace." This charge is laughable. The SDF, not the Confederation, should be considered a menace. The Confederation limits all cargo-scanning activities to sectors 7, 8, and 14; which border on Itani Confederation space. The SDF, meanwhile roams in a marauding manner across ALL sectors, forcing Serconian law on all.

um, I think I want to join one of you guys, but I don't know anything about this stuff. I guess I'm just a freelance Itani warship. I do have some merits, I have a Rag with an adv turret, multiple missle systems, over 150,000cr. and some pretty good piloting skills. Anyone want to tell me what's going on with this Rebellion?

We can yield 7 and 8 to you. Sector 14, however, is crucial to the NT tradenet, and thus, we cannot acknowledge your presence there.

I realize the Confederates aren't a menace...but it wasn't meant to be truthful. It's just in-character propaganda. =D I didn't expect this big of a response from people, since the Confederates seem to be pretty well mannered. If anyone's still interested in joining the Rebel Manta fleet though, be sure to message me.

Firstly, it is not the SDF's intent to force Serco Law onto multiple nations but we fly and fight by the SDF (Serco) ROE, not Itani and not NT therefore, all actions are based on Serco Law. We request you respect us and our countrymen and we shall in turn respect yours. Violate their soverginety and you will face us on the battlefield.

SDF policy is a defensive one, we do not roam in a maurauding manner across all sectors. we DO come to the aid of serco traders that are under attack in any sector except 1, 3, 4, and 6, And the only reason those sectors are excluded is because there is no legitimate trade in those sectors for serco pilots.

We do not interfere with any craft in ANY sector until it has engaged in verifiable hostile activity, and we dont harass traders intent on peacably going about thier buisness the way the confederation does. The SDF limits it's cargo scanning activities to NONE. We dont scan cargo. We dont care if you carry cargo. We only care if you are attacking serconian craft without provocation, then we act. Until that occurs, we leave you alone.
Confederated Vessels: You have no athority over Serconian craft anywhere in the universe. Your attempt to portray the SDF in an unfavorable way is unacceptable. We are not trying to tell itani traders where and how they may trade, nor are we interrupting them while they do so. Please have the common courtesy to return the favor.
