Seraph, I have been reluctant to discuss this because:
1. Belschaft breaking laws or doing underhanded things is a consistent issue for TSP.
2. People, including myself, have advocated for forgiveness or pardons but the players don't seem to change their colors.
3. Considering what happened in Osiris with the Empire takeover, it seems highly unlikely that we would want to welcome Empire in the region and open ourselves up to a hostile takeover.
4. Already there is a heavy foreign presence in the region.
5. I am tired of engaging against people who do underhanded things and get away with it and the region is highly inconsistent in this regard.
