Many, many people seem mystified by our motivations and way of operating. Maybe this will clarify.
On the subject of our goals:-
- To oppose oppressive regimes who will entrap their populaces with force, coercion or trickery, which of course includes those regimes which claim to espouse intellectual and economic liberty but in truth do not.
- To display in our actions that pilots can empower themselves and do not have to shelter under the wings of larger organisations.
- To combat the meme, (the mindset of ideas and habits), that encourages people to form static empires with closed borders and xenophobic attitudes.
The minute you start thinking of an asteroid belt, space station, solar system or anything outside of what you earned yourself with your own ISK as yours, you're coming under the influence of this ancient and stifling meme.
On the subject of our operations:-
- Direct attacks to destroy pod-pilot paramilitary organisations who are encouraging the spread of the above mentioned meme , identified by filling the two following criteria:
1) Active support of a regime mentioned above or actively being a regime mentioned above.
2) Policing of space against other entities to deny access to said area of space in defense of a claim to that space or policing of space against other entities under the pretext, noble or not, that they are protecting 'lesser able' pilots in that space.
The second part of point two creates much contention. Is protecting industrials from pirate incursions so bad? We say it is, because it is setting up a caste system, placing in effect a regime of control and dependence and so further spreading the old mind-set of territory and population control. Nobody said this would be easy.
On the subject of standings:-
- We will not have our standings dictated to us by a third party under any circumstance. Who we like and who we shoot is decided by us and is not subject to outside force.
- We set organisations to negative standings for one reason only: being past aggression. If you attack us, we will contact you to find out why. If you are not willing to come to an agreement of recompense and mutual non-aggression at that point, we will set your corporation/alliance -10 and will consider you hostile and to be treated as such until further notice. It's that simple.
In conclusion, I hope that clears things up a little. Any further questions should be directed to a member of Star Fraction in space, leaving this thread clear of further chaff.
