Of all the things the Republic’s had to deal with over the last few years, a squatter problem has got to be a first. Still, in the great scheme of things forcing somebody to abandon their hard-won home for a shiny pile of quasi-fascist architecture on the edge of the system is a pretty terrible thing to do. Let them stay.

Not that we won't wait for diplomacy to take its due course, but if the 'New' Republic tries to press the matter with a force of arms then they'll find a Roughrider task force waiting with nasty grins and loaded guns.  Trying to force someone to relocate is, at best, a borderline infringement of the Articles of Convention. It shall not be tolerated.  --Black

Easy there, cowboy. You can't just show up and expect to beat off the best-organized space fleet in Fenspace... on your own. Make sure you coordinate with Cal and Yayoi first. (Green Squadron are in that thousand people officially staying behind, Yayoi likes Cal - Gods alone know why - and the two of them know L5 space better than anyone else.) --N. Scott
