Mr Johnston,
While you were away you missed two important events that I thought you should be aware of as they affect the current situation.
Firstly, and most significantly, approaches have been made from representatives of the Special Investigations branch of the Alliance police. As you know, relations between the League and the police have been strained to say the least, mainly due to their remit as treating us as a terrorist organisation, and the League treating them as the enemy. These initial meetings lead to further discussions, where both sides concluded that the Alliance government handling of the whole Marauder situation has been ill-thought through.
We have formed an agreement whereby Special Investigations, and a sizeable portion of the Hoffer's Wake Police Department have agreed to assist in whatever ways possible in direct action against the Marauder threat.
I understand you may have reservations about such an agreement. But be assured that our joint goals are exclusively the eradication of the Marauder threat, with no hidden agenda for either side.
The second important event follows on from the first. As a result of the above discussions a Council of the League was called. Chaired by myself, this is an open forum where all members of the League can have their views heard and vote on actions and policies that we make. Most members of the League agreed wholeheartedly with the course of action. With one notable exception; The Kong. The Kong have flatly refused to have any dealings with the Alliance police. In fact, so forceful were their view that they have refused to recognize the legitimacy of the decision. They have since removed themselves from the alliance, and have threatened the use of force against anyone trespassing on their territory.
Needless to say that the Kong were one of the mainstays of the League, providing much support in the conflict with the Marauders since the destruction of Haven Station. This is a very unfortunate situation, but the democratic decisions of the League cannot be held to ransom by anyone, regardless of their standing.
So there you have it, an eventful few days, where we have gained one valuable ally, but also lost another.
Regards,
Paulus Richter,
League Secretary-General
