Jumpgate Evolution: US - Tensions Rise between Quantar and Octavius

Quantar aggression cannot be allowed to continue. First they throw unfounded allegations towards Octavius, claiming that we murdered their pet criminal, Io. Then they sabotage our laboratories, and kill innocent civilians with their terrorist attacks. Now they have started an economic war upon the Empire, by deliberately tuning our beacons to increase our TRI taxes.

After the destruction of the terrorist Io, Octavius was satisfied that honor was served; yet Quantar seeks to escalate this conflict further. Octavius shall not stand idly by and accept Quantar ships tuning our beacons.

If Quantar wants to escalate this, then Octavius shall follow suit. For every one of our beacons that are retuned, our pilots shall retune two of Quantar's. For every Octavian pilot downed, three Quantar pilots shall take pod rides. So, once more, shall Quantar feel the power of the Empire bear down upon them, until such time as the Tahirs come begging to the Emperors to end this, and then shall Octavius demand the spoils of war.
