TRI-HQ (TRI-FP) - After the STCC's comments in regard to
TRI's announcement to cease underwriting pilot insurance, the Octavian
government has issued a formal reply.
"We are disappointed with our credit loving neighbors, in that they must
resort to basic insults to get their point across," stated Emperor
Clements IV. "The STCC's obvious jealousy for the quality of our
pilots, and ships has been thinly veiled for some time now. of course, while
TRI's failure to execute on their fiduciary responsibilities towards pilots is
totally unsurprising to us, this does provide an excellent opportunity for the
Empire to distance itself from the multiple failures of TRI.

"As always, in these matters, the Empire will lead the way, with the
creation of a new Military wing. This will enable our loyal and capable pilots
to provide direct support for the political and military objectives of the
government. Pilots who sign up for a tour of duty with the Octavian Military
will receive complete insurance at no cost, as well as superior rations in the
mess halls.

"In order to achieve these goals, certain changes must be enacted, and
while we expect some pain to ensue, we are confident that Octavian pilots will
handle this change, and thrive on the opportunity to better serve the
Empire."

Further details are expected to be announced shortly.
