Dear citizens of the world, if you have not seen or heard about the actions of today, then let us inform you. The Order's protectorate, St Abbaddon, has been attacked by foreign powers. Their hostility towards us has been well documented for months prior to this attack. We have deployed several times in defense of our protectorate because of concerns they would target this region, and they have. We are now in a piling stand-off to save St Abbaddon from those that would otherwise destroy it or use it for their own selfish, political gains at the expense of native members in the region. The Order will not stand idly and allow our protectorate to be disgraced. All parties involved in this attack will be wary of our fortitude. We will not relent or surrender, even if they win the battle of today.

The Order would like to thank all of our comrades, particularly our regional allies, who have responded quickly to this threat. Without the help of our comrades and a solid team spirit, the Order would not be able to field such a defense of St Abbaddon.

The attack from the side of the Black Hawks comes somewhat unsurprisingly, despite vocal claims to stay out of each other's affairs. It is very well documented that the Black Hawks’ hostilities as well as their keen interest to interfere in the affairs of the Pacific have continued, even after the Pacific ceased its updates against the organization.

The Order hereby recognizes a state of war between itself and The Black Hawks and is evaluating its diplomatic stance towards other regions at this time. Henceforth, the New Pacific Order will actively conduct military operations against TBH and its interests. However, the Order is not a defender organization; raider organizations that refuses to cooperate with TBH will not be opposed by us in their R/D operations.



Signed,
The Emperor and The Senate of the Pacific

I can probably guess at what the response will be, but isn't the bolded exactly what the NPO did in the first place?

No, see. The NPO did it to a native member, singular. Big difference.

Sounds like the NPO plans to bully other groups into compliance. "Do what we want or we'll use our military against you". That's gonna go well with the voters

note:personal comment, not official council response

Hail TEP

Not at all. Our interest was to expel Topid from St Abbaddon for insulting the Pacific. We left St Abbaddon to run her own affairs, lending only our endos as benefits a protector state guarding her protectorate.

If it was unsurprising, you might have protected it better in the first place.

Of course, you find it hard to tell the truth at all, I get it.

As such, let me clarify -

TP ran against TBH, unprovoked. Leaders in TP insulted TBH. TBH protested. Old leaders of TP apologized. People involved were demoted, probably more over another incident, but TBH got lip service too. The words of those demoted did not cease. Soon they admitted to also spying on TBH, TNP, and perhaps others. This was raised again with TP, and after a lot of diplomatic tag, TBH basically got told that those involved had already been punished by being demoted, but also that the old leaders shouldn't have acknowledged TP did anything wrong (I know, contradictory). Since then, those involved have largely been restored to their prior positions, continued to speak against TBH, and anyone who was exceptionally diplomatic towards us is gone from TP. Does it raise any eyebrows then that, consequences removed, rhetoric building, TBH decided enough was enough, and to act?
