Possible issues with Treay 2219

***HEM***
Dear Sector Generals,

I apologize for the communication, I just wanted to advise you that there has been significant upset on the part of the Free Systems regarding the actions of the Quall NDrone. What you may or may not be aware of, but recently a retinue of Qual ships entered the Free Systems without being granted entry and fired upon an unarmed medical ship. The defenders of the Free Systems, none too happy with the incursion, attacked the ships, disabling them.

While I am not in the loop with the nature of any conversation between the Quall and the Free Systems or Temporal Empire, I do know the locals were infuriated. Rumor has it that the situation escalted, but I have not received any reports regarding the outcome of that scenario. What I do know is that Le-a Hive Queen and Rogue Hive Queen Ar'yay worked in conjunction with each other on this occasion, and the locals are calling foul and that this incident is a violation of the Treaty between the Free Systems and the Iron Republic.

While you may not like me very much as a person, we all know the function I play for you, and how mutually unbeneficial it would be if this treaty were violated or broken. I therefore advise you of the situation and request that action is taken to ensure the treaty between the Free Syupheldand the Iron Republic is maintained and upheld. I say this not knowing what the public reaction will be to the outcome of the battle, or once the story gets out about how a rogue queen acted on behalf of an actively supported Queen, or vice-versa. I will do my best to supress anti - Iron Republic sentiment.

I hope this matter works itself out accordingly. I leave this matter in your very capable hands. If there is anything I can do to assist, please let me know.

Yours sincerely,
Su Maehl

We had as routine since no one trusts Quall every time we take ships out we have them recording this is a recorede message sent from Ary'Yah

""Sheikh Ragay, you supposedly hold 500 Quall N'Drone in stasis, you are to release them immediately. We do not care about you or any crimes you have committed, we only want those individuals returned. If you agree we shall withdraw without violence, you are to identify which ship contains the Quall and may either send them over to us or we can board the ship and take them back. If we board the ship as long as no violence is committed then no harm shall come to your crews. We don't care if you trust us or not, as this fleet is easily large enough to destroy your forces. The very fact that we are talking to you shows that we are being honest with you."

When we got no response we attacked

This is the add we received
(Transmits the add)

A Terrorist and known I.R. hater Sheikh Ragay has been spotted in the Free Systems with a convoy of one blackmarket Arcturus and two blackmarket Antares Starfreighters with their compliment of Hornet Starfighters. He has been selling a technology designed to restore all Quall Warriors into their original form En masse. Reports that have filtered back from the Free Systems is that Sheikh Ragay has over 500 Quall Prisoners held in stasis waiting so he can show his technology to the highest bidders.

There are rumors he has met with Garmin Fe of Beacon City. Garmin Fe turned him down out of concerns it would threaten the new treaty with the Iron Republic.

Now Shiekh Ragay is hoping to entice the EEF or better yet their near-terrorist subordinates the Lions of Earth.

The Sheikh’s fleet is orbiting the Gas giant of Illuminos in Free Systems space.

Now the temporal Empire is saying that we attacked an unarmed medical ship? I think the temporal empire set up this hoax to lure the rouge queen and I out in the open.
All we wanted to do there was rescue the people we thought to be held captive. Why else as you can see from past events did the temporal empire's fleets only go after Ar'Yah's fleets and not mine? Because he was the target all along and not I. They wanted an excuse to go after the rouge queen. Why leave my fleets alone because I was not the intended target for their mischief. If the people running the hoax were to tell us it was all a hoax and allow a small party to verify said hoax then all would be well.

Maybe an investigation should be run into the temporal empire and not us. maybe I should go over all the information i have recorded on this matter and broadcast it the same way that they broadcasting Sheikh Ragay to the entire population of the free systems exposing them for the lying bastards they are. Not that the population would care as we are just Quall.

Dear Hive Queen,

My message is intended for the Sector Generals only, and was encrypted only to them. If you received this message in error, I apologize. Must have been a glitch in my communicator.

The intent of my message was purely to advise the Sector Generals of my concerns and the gravity of the situation. If you feel justified in your behavior, so be it. It doesn't change the current situation we're in, which is that a non-military ships were attacked without provocation and how it causes ill-will and is on the verge of being considered a breach of our treaty. The fact that you fail to capture the significance of such proves more about you than anything I can say. And for that I'm sorry.

Sector Generals, I await your response and or action.

Yours sincerely,
Su Maehl

As a director I observe all communication on Iron Republic systems.

"Le-a do not add to your crimes by lying you did recieve a response.
The offical record shows the following:

Quall transmitted

“"Sheikh Ragay, you supposedly hold 500 Quall N'Drone in stasis, you are to release them immediately. We do not care about you or any crimes you have committed, we only want those individuals returned. If you agree we shall withdraw without violence, you are to identify which ship contains the Quall and may either send them over to us or we can board the ship and take them back. If we board the ship as long as no violence is committed then no harm shall come to your crews. We don't care if you trust us or not, as this fleet is easily large enough to destroy your forces. The very fact that we are talking to you shows that we are being honest with you."

The Ship in question transmitted.

“With Respect Unknown Fleet we do not know what you are talking about?” said the Sheikh Ragay, “But we are in the Free Systems and you hold no authority here!”

And they were right.

As a director of the Iron Republic I respectfully advise you to wait until the official trial. Anything you say can and will be used against you by the HiveQueen Council.

(OOC As Moderator to clear things up - that transmission was sent to my character's fleet and my character is technically not part of the IR since becoming rogue and thus not on IR systems. Therefore no matter if you get a copy of all IR transmissions you would not have gotten that one. i.e. Le-a Hive Queen would not have gotten that transmission as it was in direct response to my transmission)

Sector General Deer stepped up to the computer checking the transmission.

"This transmission is confirmed as coming from the ship the Quall attacked. Their excuses are obviously to hide their guilt. They are Hiveminds and share information during their attacks.

I have no patience for such blatent treaty violations. I officially request an inquest by the Board of Directors and the Quall HiveQueens. I will not allow any accusations of unfairness or injustice in my hands. I wash my hands of this like Pontius Pilate. Let the officials bring down their judgement."

"I also recuse myself. Im busy with the Estrain and other threats. Let Kal Marx and the other Directors decide on this whole clusterfuck."


Deer will send copies of all communications including those presented as evidence by the Free Systems or by Su Maehl to his superiors.

"Now with all the evidence presented including Free Systems transmissions which contradict Le-a testimony it is time for a trial.

Crimes in the docket:

1 count of breaking the Treaty between Quall, IR and the collected region known as the free systems

1 count of illegal tresspassing across borders without authorization by the Board of Directors or by the Quall HiveQueen Council.

1 count of kidnapping and wrongful imprisonment of the crew of the vessels in Free Systems space in direct violation of the treaties between the Quall, IR and the Free Systems

The trial shall be scheduled for this friday. All relevant witnesses must be prepared.

As for Aryay HiveQueen she is rogue and beyond the laws of us. Le-a does have holding in IR space and is subject to all our mutual IR Quall treaties.

Possible punishments set forth,

If guilty on all three counts Le-a will lose all rights in IR space.

Other lesser punishments available if less guilt found.
