Does CFS honestly claim that CA came to their space to conquer it or just to create trouble? If the latter is true, there is no reason for CFS to cry foul at all. Maybe your diplomats should have pushed to use the term incursion, but i doubt FA would then have accepted that deal.
Look at this term in your nice book:
exÀtorÀtion Pronunciation: ik-'stor-sh&n Function: noun 1 : the act or practice of extorting esp. money or other property; specifically : the act or practice of extorting by a public official acting under color of office 2 : the crime of extorting ùexÀtorÀtionÀate /-sh&-n&t/ adjective ùexÀtorÀtionÀer noun ùexÀtorÀtionÀist /-sh&-nist/ noun
or:
\Ex*tor"tion\, n. [F. extorsion.] 1. The act of extorting; the act or practice of wresting anything from a person by force, by threats, or by any undue exercise of power; undue exaction; overcharge.
2. (Law) The offense committed by an officer who corruptly claims and takes, as his fee, money, or other thing of value, that is not due, or more than is due, or before it is due. --Abbott.
3. That which is extorted or exacted by force.
Syn: Oppression; rapacity; exaction; overcharge.
You can say about CA what you want, but we do not lie or try and explain our actions any better than they are. FA has had their time of extorting another alliance. You can compare FA with the mafia bosses in the '30's, they had nice suits but underneath they were the scum of the scum... No mather how well spoken they were or well dressed they looked. FA has done things that even the most rotten apples in CA would make their stomaches turn twice before even thinking about tactics FA used.

Well I think the word invasion is the key to understanding why FA did not send any ships to assist you in any way. You can mearly call a few gank squads a full scale invasion. And it was CSF+ local peoples fault that they mining ops got blown away by these CA attacks.
I can recall when i was still in Hun corp and we were based around Period there was a local deffence chanel but if you spotted a larger fleet moving down on the map and reported it there nothing happend and when people got blown up while mining or Npc-ing they didn't even realized what was happening.Cfs/DSMA and locals always stated that they are losing ships to deffend a station which they dont own and how unfair is that , but did you ever thout about docking in to the station or warping to safespot till CA forces got bored and leave? Ok you can say that has no honor and i need to grow some balls but what is honorable in geting ganked i would rather call this tactical.
A nother thing is tax which I think wasn't that high. But you kept complaining about it and actually you belived all the CA propaganda.Now i think wealth genarated by the station is only a "side effect" a good one i must admit. But the main pourpose of Fa in the region was to gain friendlys who are willing to fight Ca if needed and of course giving stabilty to the region.Now i think Fa made their first mistakes when they didnt lower or end the taxes when Ca begun they propaganda about FA enslaving the locals with Taxing them.
A nother side note lots of people think that Fa captured the stations from CFS or DSMA now thats a bit more complicated it's true that they were there first but i think most of you can remember Techell and the happenings at that time.And if im correct it was mostly Fa forces that recaptured the stations and driven out MOO who were hiered by Techell.
Finally i think if any of the now "rebelling" allinces would control the stations in cfs space that would lead to a internal civil war beacuse i dont realy think that they would set docking fees to 0 or refining tax between themselfs. I can recall the time when DSMA first captured the stations when they shown up on the map. At T-par an office was about 1M and refing was 7.5% it was hold by Zoners then.Gq was first held by ADGA but DSMA took it over an office was about 10M a factory 1M so plz dont tell me that FA is the only greedy alliance in game.Only difference is that FA dosent want to "live" from the taxes only however locals like DSMA wanted to earn they money from tax and nothing else (at the early times)I know this beacuse i talked a lot whit people in DSMA when we operated in that region. These were just some toughts that i wanted to share since i bearly saw them mentioned in any thread abut this topic.

Only gonna ask some questions.
1. If FA are so good at defending Period Basis, then why have I seen 1 FA member in the whole region all night
2. If FA are defending PB, as stated. Then why is it Orion federation that are losing ships, not FA
3. They lost their claim on it already
Hey, I'm only asking questions....

Fountain Alliance has now invaded our space to cover up there own treaty voilations and offered a peace that will not stand. They believe that can they control our space yet have left there own undefended in there greed.
CFS never owned any space, the corps comprising the alliance just dwelled in space that is accessible to all, therefore it never belonged to anyone.

Since the terms like invasions etc aren't defined in that treaty that YOU agreed upon. Your interpretation of the word invasions is as such irrelivant. If CFS percieves it as an invasion then it is.
Just because you think that simply taking the stations is discussing them doesn't mean that it is a dicussion.
If you don't like the open interpretation then you could declare the whole treaty void i guess.
But it's what you agreed upon.
If part of the treaty is vague, as it is in this case, then both definitions are acceptable. It is reasonable to conclude, based on the wording of the treaty, that CA didn't invade. Therefore, FA didn't break this part of the treaty. Sorry CFS.
