Mr Johnston,
My fellow League council members and myself have had an eye on you, and have come to the same conclusions as our associates within the Stepsons and the Kong. Mr. Johnston, not wanting to sound fawning or too forward, we believe your skills as a privateer and a pilot show exceptional promise, and we would be very much interested in offering you a position within our ranks.
As you probably already know, the League is a loose alliance of clans, freelancers and other parties dedicated to resisting the rapid spread of corporate dominance in the Hoffer's Wake system. Our methods are varied, including political lobbying, direct non-violent action, organising financial co-operatives to resist corporate take-overs, and where necessary, direct action. Our long-term goal however, is to replace the Alliance regime with a more effective and democratic system of government. In short we are pursuing independence for the cluster. The Alliance government, along with the police they control, seem only interested in maintaining their own positions of power, and are content to allow the corporations to bleed the cluster dry.
I'm sorry if all this sounds like preaching, but the situation for the common people in Hoffer's Wake is increasingly desperate. The League was never intended to be a radical or revolutionary organisation; we just want to see justice return to this part of space.

League Secretary-General
