Alliance Officials declare Mercenary unit "Rogue."

In the aftermath of recent incidents on Hale's Moon, Alliance District Command in the Kalidasa system has declared the unit involved Rogue. "Their commander showed no respect for local Law Enforcement, local government regulations, or the local Militia. They put a few rounds into that Gorram killing machine, but in light of how they treated the colonists, they're more trouble than they were worth," Hale's mayor was quoted as saying after the announcement.

Colonel Silvermane, commanding officer of the 1st Marine Raiders and Sector Commander, posted the notice to Alliance units throughout the Rim and Border sectors. Alliance units were requested to apprehend the unit's commander and any members of the team travelling with him for questioning and probable legal action. The Mercenary's Guild was also informed of the unit's breach of contract and applicable civil law.

"Chances are the unit's leadership has gone to ground," the Colonel was quoted as saying. "They're the ones we're interested in but it's unlikely they'll surface again. Posting the writs was the correct, and legal, way to deal with the issue. Local Marshal's probably find them and have them bound by law if they turn up. As far as the Military is concerned, unless they turn up again and start shooting, we're considering this an issue for the Marshal's Office."

Any citizens with further information on the disposition of the Mercenary Unit's leadership are encouraged to contact their local Law Enforcement agency or Alliance Marshal's office. A modest reward has been offered for their capture or proof of demise.
