High command has reviewed the Fakuto record and after advisement from our own researchers and Kansai consultants we deem the actions of the guild to be disproportionate to the crime.
// Though the record appears to be authentic, the issue of cargo legality remains.
Clearly, the identified Samura pilots did violate gas miner guild law, and for that it appears the Guild have exacted their punishment severely.
We cannot see how this issue alone could justify the hostile invasion of Planet Kurile, and the current inordinate scale of military operations.
We will continue to impose blockades and sanctions upon the Gas Miners Guild until a satisfactory accord has been reached.
