I take offense that HHTT suggests that FAMY pilots are also EDIT
Har. Do ye also take offense that there is no wormyhole between Dau and Deneb? Reality is reality, deal with it.

On behalf of HHTT I would like to issue a formal retraction as to any grievances or claims of collusion on the part of Family Galactic Travel[FAMY]. Coincidental circumstances and the fog of war presented a faulty perspective. All previous greivances and claims have been resolved and we hope to move forward in a manner that enriches all parties involved.
There is a plague running rampant in the Union of Independent Territories; one both strangling our original purpose for becoming apart from the Itani-Serco conflict as well as our intentions to have a freedom and peace within our systems, one not seen anywhere else in the known universe.
We of HHTT as of this morning have become officially sanctioned representatives of the Axia corporation, and have received joint Dau Senate support in our declaration of Vendetta against the corrupt trade conglomerate TGFT.
We believe that personal interests and secret Alliances have not only rotten the once pillar of UIT trade to its core, but due to the scale of the corruption, a major portion of our brothers and sisters are now in a war that they have been promised they would not be a part of. Fraud and deception are now commonplace within a once trustworthy organization.
We will not request any official Alliances within HHTT, but rather request that we are used as the UIT were intended, a truly neutral group of trade organizations that will NOT be pulled into outside interests or conflicts.
-To the pirates: we support your claims to taxes, warranties, and processing fees. We encourage all of our members to support your business as well, and ask that if any HHTT member chooses to use blasters instead of credits, you not take it as an official stance from the Guild as a whole. The leadership will always be willing to help facilitate our own as well as your business. We simply ask to negotiate, and to not be put on any guild-wide KOS lists, and you will be met with reasonable discussion and terms.
-To the Nationalists, we ask for peace and freedom to exist as we see fit. We do not wish to enter your conflict in any way. HHTT is open to trade with either party. Please take our truly Neutral stance to justify trading with us. If you cannot trade with someone willing to work with anyone, please do not hold it against us, or in anyway a sign of us helping your enemies. We will never enter a formal alliance with either of you. Please respect that. We will defend ourselves if you come to the aid of TGFT, as some of you most likely will, however our fight is truly not with you.
-To the nonTGFT traders, miners, and other commercial pilots: obviously you have been aware of some of the problems that we have also seen within the UIT and surrounding systems, you are all welcome to join us. Any attempt to stop us with our mission, and you will be met with force. However we will hold no grudges, and that we understand that these are confusing times.
-To TGFT, We will continue our Vendetta, specifically targeting your production abilities. We have been given the green light and grants required from the Dau Senate to place bounties on the heads of those attempting to continue your current agenda. Your strangle hold of the Dau senate is at an end. When you break all formal alliances, and have ceased in the practice of charging your members, sanctioning fraudulent dealings, and private support of either Itani or Serco agendas, we will be willing to discuss terms of peace. Until then your guild will be considered traitors of the UIT people. You will be hunted by our members. Your stations will be left in ruin. Your puppets in the Senate will be ousted, and your locations will be broadcast. While we hold no official alliances, we will use yours to our advantage.
We must remain clear in our stance that no Alliances will be made with any other guild within the Universe. In human history they have only been made to hurt the little guy and lead to the deaths of the innocent. We make it our mission that we take no side in non-UIT conflict. We will not stand for a corrupt UIT. Defecting Serco and Itani members wishing to become members of the UIT, and renounce their own Nation’s conflicts, will be given UIT citizenship papers and offered a position within our organization.

I fully second and endorse this declaration without any reservation whatsoever.
You should rename yourselves TTE - The TGFT Exterminators.
We are not here to exterminate TGFT. We are here to route out and exterminate the corruption that is slowly eating away at the heart of what it means to be neutral, independent and free within the UIT and surrounding systems. We are a conglomerate of entrepreneurs and small companies that have banded together and gathered enough support to potentially push TGFT out of majority Senate control come the next election.

You will be hunted by our members. Your stations will be left in ruin. Your puppets in the Senate will be ousted, and your locations will be broadcast.
So basically you'll make your anti-TGFT voice heard in game with your guns downing whatever TGFT moths you find. Maybe take over a few TGFT-controlled conquerable stations. How is that not extermination of TGFT?
Don't get me wrong, I'm fully in support of extermination of TGFT. They long overstayed their welcome and it's time for them to go. For good.

We are not here to exterminate TGFT, we are here to bring a corruption free environment for the prosperity of our people.
If our independent investigators within the UIT continue to find TGFT to be at the source of this corruption, we will continue our Vendetta and unite the rest of the UIT behind us.
As of right now, we have lost a pilot to the TGFT Lt. Tsreknor, and it would seem as though TGFT have decided to meet us on the battlefield.

HHTT Press Release
Subject: Post Rebranding Operations
Since rebranding as Herman & Hornblower Trade & Transport, HHTT ranks have grown considerably with new pilots eager to reap the rewards the VO universe has to offer. Accordingly, HHTT is now procuring Siepos, Milinar, and Prosis Neural Nodules for bulk sale in packages of 64 per type. The standard pricing for each package type is 12.5 million credits. We understand this price may exceed typical market pricing, but understand we do not possess the Trident Light Frigate capabilities that sets market pricing at a lower rate. Please message H.Hornblower-Commodore Dev-Herman the Hermit on private communications channel to preorder.
Our senior operators have been engaged in Vendetta against TGFT and have reported several instances of denying TGFT access to manufacturing stations. HHTT has joined a loose coalition of guilds and agents united in common vendetta against TGFT. HHTT maintains the stance that we will assault manufacturing stations that are not accessible to us. Only the Commander and Lieutenants have authority to issue orders for station assault and will make every attempt to identify the owner before commencing hostilities. This decision was made on the basis of denying TGFT access in the absence of positive ownership identification.
Finally, we ask all members of the VO community to extend courtesy and patience to our new pilots still learning the ins & outs of surviving in the universe. As a guild we make every attempt to set policies and guidelines that demonstrate our neutrality, but accept that some of our recruits may ultimately may not be of a neutral temperament. In such instances the pilot in question will be expelled from our organization. Resolve the situation as you feel necessary and contact HHTT leadership for a redress of grievances.

HHTT Press Release
Tomorrow marks three weeks since the rebranding of HHTT as Herman & Herman Trade & Transport. We have grown from an exclusive guild of five active pilots to a promising guild with over thirty pilots on our roster. During peak periods of activity we have half dozen pilots on guild chat engaging in queen hunts, escorting cargo movements, and coordinating consensual PVP. We have appointed four new council members and formed a Round Table for executive decisions concerning the growth and development of the guild. We continue to build relationships with nearly all the major guilds in VO and look forward to continued peaceful relationships.
On a personal note I would like to retract my formal grievance against former Council Member for TGFT, "Smudge-O-Tron." The fog of war and a false perception on my part led me to slight his name as being negligent in his obligations to fellow guild members. After private conversation, I have been convinced that my estimation of his involvement in PAM was incorrect and that in no way was he negligent. HHTT recognizes "Smudge-O-Tron" as an independent agent with no ties to TGFT. We respect his neutrality and will render appropriate honors in all transactions.

Hallelujah! More and more people are seeing the true colors of TGFT.
true color? i thought it was dark green.
We just don't have the heart to tell him he's colorblind.
Lmfao none of remaining TGFT have a heart at all. All of the nice, well meaning people left TGFT.
The Scorpion and the Frog
One day, a scorpion looked around at the mountain where he lived and decided that he wanted a change. So he set out on a journey through the forests and hills. He climbed over rocks and under vines and kept going until he reached a river.
The river was wide and swift, and the scorpion stopped to reconsider the situation. He couldn't see any way across. So he ran upriver and then checked downriver, all the while thinking that he might have to turn back.
Suddenly, he saw a frog sitting in the rushes by the bank of the stream on the other side of the river. He decided to ask the frog for help getting across the stream.
"Hellooo Mr. Frog!" called the scorpion across the water, "Would you be so kind as to give me a ride on your back across the river?"
"Well now, Mr. Scorpion! How do I know that if I try to help you, you wont try to kill me?" asked the frog hesitantly.
"Because," the scorpion replied, "If I try to kill you, then I would die too, for you see I cannot swim!"
Now this seemed to make sense to the frog. But he asked. "What about when I get close to the bank? You could still try to kill me and get back to the shore!"
"This is true," agreed the scorpion, "But then I wouldn't be able to get to the other side of the river!"
"Alright then...how do I know you wont just wait till we get to the other side and THEN kill me?" said the frog.
"Ahh...," crooned the scorpion, "Because you see, once you've taken me to the other side of this river, I will be so grateful for your help, that it would hardly be fair to reward you with death, now would it?!"
So the frog agreed to take the scorpion across the river. He swam over to the bank and settled himself near the mud to pick up his passenger. The scorpion crawled onto the frog's back, his sharp claws prickling into the frog's soft hide, and the frog slid into the river. The muddy water swirled around them, but the frog stayed near the surface so the scorpion would not drown. He kicked strongly through the first half of the stream, his flippers paddling wildly against the current.
Halfway across the river, the frog suddenly felt a sharp sting in his back and, out of the corner of his eye, saw the scorpion remove his stinger from the frog's back. A deadening numbness began to creep into his limbs.
"You fool!" croaked the frog, "Now we shall both die! Why on earth did you do that?"
The scorpion shrugged, and did a little jig on the drownings frog's back.
"I could not help myself. It is my nature."
Then they both sank into the muddy waters of the swiftly flowing river.

The Ass and the Lapdog
A MAN had an Ass, and a Maltese Lapdog, a very great beauty. The Ass was left in a stable and had plenty of oats and hay to eat, just as any other Ass would.
The Lapdog knew many tricks and was a great favorite with his master, who often fondled him and seldom went out to dine without bringing him home some tidbit to
eat.
The Ass, on the contrary, had much work to do in grinding the corn-mill and in carrying wood from the forest or burdens from the farm.
He often lamented his own hard fate and
contrasted it with the luxury and idleness of the Lapdog, till at last one day he broke his cords and halter, and galloped into his master's house, kicking up his heels without measure, and frisking and fawning as well as he could.
He next tried to jump about his master as he had seen the Lapdog do, but he broke the table and smashed all the dishes upon it to atoms.
He then attempted to lick his master, and jumped upon his back.
The servants, hearing the strange hubbub and perceiving the danger of their master, quickly relieved him, and drove out the Ass to his stable with kicks and clubs and cuffs.
The Ass, as he returned to his stall beaten nearly to death, thus lamented: "I have brought it all on myself! Why could I not have been contented to labor with my companions, and not wish to be idle all the day like that useless little Lapdog!"
To be satisfied with one's lot is better than to desire
something which one is not fitted to receive
