The Exile government maintains that it was the Corelians who first broke our agreement by failing to relenquish, as they had pledged over a year ago, the planets they had conquered in the Priintlot systems from the Plant creatures. They compounded this by colonizing planets that we had created. Then they demanded that the entire Printtlot and Aragor systems be ceded to them. Even after this disupute reached a high pitch, they continued to colonize worlds that were not theirs, clearly intentionally. These actions, showing a clear disregard for the Faithful, were then aggravated by the discovery, from multiple sources, that the Corelians had been planning offensive actions against the Faithful for some time now. Whether approaching fleets were seven vessels, or seven hundred, does not matter to us in issues of Faithful security. Not only did we not know the size of the fleet, and hence had to assume the worst, but the Faithful possess weapons that allow even a single ship to wreak havoc upon a solar system, and we anticipate that the Corelians do as well. Hence, we cannot risk any such threat to the security of our holy shrines and temples.

The Faithful have severed relations with the Corelians until these issues above can be resolved. Our forces, upon being approached by Corelian forces, merely defended themselves. In any case, the planets that were damaged during such defense actions were clearly military outposts and not civilian ones, as reported by our unbiased Paladin pilots at the battlespaces in question.

The Faithful of Kor do not inflict harm upon others without cause, and our priests tell us that to kill an innocent is a sin. It is with extreme disbeleif that we hear that Exile forces in Aragor and Priintlot have injured civilian populations. We assure the interstellar community that a full investigation will be opened up into such allegations, and we will appoint a committee chaired by reputable members of the secular government.

In order to avoid any civilian deaths, it is our intention to have our Holy fighter wings avoid the Corelian homeworld in Aragor. They will be instructed to refrain from entering the orbit of that planet. Apart from that, they will continue their combat space patrol patterns and act to defend themselves should they need to. Their patrol formations will, of course, be a mosque level secret, and we cannot disclose them to infidels.

The agreement governing the Priintlot system must be adhered to before we can proceed to other issues. Meaning that all the plant people colonies that have been conquered by Corelian forces must be ceded to the Secular government.

We request strongly that daily and weekly prayers of the Faithful be not interrupted by the Corelian forces as they attempt to defuse the situation in Aragor.

So speaks the Secular Governemt of the Exiles, leader of the Faithful and Listener to Kor.
