All We Are Saying Is Give Peace a Chance

YC114.04.12

A few months ago, and against the wishes of RECLT, FCO voted to join the (seemingly repetitive) battle the Gallente Federation is waging against the oppressors of free markets everywhere.

Um, I mean against the oppressors of freedom, not free markets.  My bad...

Anyway, FCO dragged us kicking and screaming into a battle where suddenly half the market is against us, and we can’t freely travel systems we once did.  Still, we figured we would suddenly have a lot more built-in customers - after all, all those freedom fighters need to get their ships and ammo from somewhere.

Unfortunately, that just isn’t turning out to be the case.  We’ve been unable to make inroads with the new client bases, and our supply lines have proved too long to easily secure or navigate quickly.  As well, politically we’ve had no traction at all with the establishment already in place.

But!

It’s not all doom and gloom - in one of life’s nice little kicks-in-the-arse, FCO is going nowhere with the warriors, but having great luck with the industrialists!  The Drunk and The Brave have signed on with us, adding to our presence in the belts, placing customer orders, and even starting talk about setting up a station for us to build out of.

Hopefully TDATB is able to keep the air on the inside, and not find their ships vented due to FCO’s past political choices...
