--- Retraction ---
The strange nature of planet Foor Axcis confused us... we thought it was the property of a player in the game. Because of this, the invasion of said planet by Apolyton in a universe where only good players exist could not but provoke the response it did. We retract our declaration of war completely, and wish to return to the long standing position of non-agression towards good corporations that has characterized our behaviour in the past.
-------------------
I am a bit confused as to why such a planet was put into the game. Was there money on it, a prize to the first to find and capture it? Was it defended well relative to its value? Will Apolyton take this advantage and use it to dominate the game, possesing a planet perhaps levels beyond our most advanced?
As regards the propriety of our arguments, I won't say much to avoid beating a dead horse. Under the circumstances, we were fully within our right to retract a private treaty publicly, and to accompany it with an honorable, public, declaration of war. The circumstances clearly demanded it, and such forthrightness is what I would expect from any good-aligned corporation that was going to operate an reprecusional action on the scale planned.
I did not say that you attacked LMP first, only that you attacked him when he had absolutely nothing and had no way of avoiding your attack at all.
If we of the Smuggler's Alliance have a fault, it is being too hasty in the vengeance of good. If this is excessive, I apologize... but it is in our nature. You can bet on it

... I create an insanely huge game world (10,000 sectors anyone?), hide one planet somewhere in there and arm it to the teeth; whoever captures it first wins...
