OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
For many years, the Unknown Regions have been insulated by its astrography and its inaccessibility from the terrible conflicts waged across the galaxy. Thanks to this blessing, the civilizations of the region have been allowed to develop free from the predations of the galaxy’s major nations.
Recently however, a power has risen that threatens to bring an end this era of peace and prosperity: the Farworlds Alliance.
Though its Charter speaks of lofty ideas such as “free peoples joined by a shared purpose”, it is clear from the recent actions of Farworlds leadership that the “shared purpose” they speak of is something that few truly free people would ever support.
Recently, reports have arrived from the Outer Rim about of a major pirate raid on the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant. Though initiated by the terrorist cell known as the Wild Space Rebellion, the raid is important to note for the residents of the Unknown Regions because a fleet of warships later identified as those of the Farworlds Alliance aided the pirates in their attack.
Let this be a lesson to those who continue to defend the Farworlds: any state that truly seeks to maintain peace and justice in the galaxy would not ally with pirates in an unprovoked attack on a state who posed no direct threat to themselves.
With this revelation in mind, the Caragachi Commonwealth denounces the Farworld Alliance’s blatant, unwarranted aggression. The Commonwealth declares that its doors are open for those who have been persecuted or attacked by the Farworld Alliance and urges Caragachi civilians to avoid doing business with the warmongers of Centerra.
Furthermore, the Caragachi Commonwealth will not sit idle while the Farworlds Alliance's aggression threatens the entire Unknown Regions. In order to protect the peace, the Commonwealth has authorized the limited deployment of its naval forces outside its own territory.
The Caragachi Navy’s Fourth Fleet has been redeployed to a position just north of the Langhesa system. This position puts it in close proximity to the Farworld Alliance’s core worlds of Centerra and Refuge, allowing the Fourth Fleet to monitor Farworld fleet deployments.
The Commonwealth issues a firm warning: if the Farworlds Alliance chooses to continue aiding terrorists or wages unjustified war in the Unknown Regions, the Fourth Fleet will be deployed in defense of peace and stability.
Yet it is important to note that Caragach does not seek to wage war against the Farworlds Alliance. The Commonwealth sincerely hopes that the Farworlds Assembly can be convinced to cease their aggressive behavior and respect the sovereignty not only of its own members but of all its neighbors in the shared community of the Unknown Regions.
The moment that clear, binding, and publicly available assurances are made by the Assembly that they will not provide aid to terrorists or engage in acts of unprovoked military aggression, the Fourth Fleet will be withdrawn, and the fragile state of peace in the Unknown Regions will be meaningfully mended.
