Bureaucracy Generals Announce Seizure of Helian Weapons

In light of recent revelations about the Helian government, the Bureaucracy decided not to return weapons rented from the Helian government during the war of Khartan Aggression, five years ago. During a press conference, an Agamemnon Internal Affairs representative said, "Helia was one of the least helpful moons in the War. They didn't care that one moon was waging unprovoked nuclear war at all-- they were just looking to make a quick buck, which makes a lot of sense in hindsight, since they treat their own citizens the same way." When asked about the impact this would have on Helian relations, he remarked, "Frankly, we don't care what Helia thinks of us. They're the worst kind of mercenary; we know they conducted espionage for money for us during the war, and we know that Kharta's intelligence agency couldn't have been responsible for all the espionage that went on prior to the war. We also know that Kharta had a very favorable trade balance with Helia prior to the war, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to connect those dots. We have no faith in Helia's commitment to human rights-- at one point, toward the end of the war, Helia actually offered, completely out of the blue, to mount a nuclear attack on Kharta for money! Needless to say, Agamemnon has no need to be friends with such scum.

That is why the government of Agamemnon officially declares the pack of slavers and blackguards that calls itself the government of Helia a terrorist organization. We do not, at this point, wish to topple them through military intervention, but it remains a option if Helia does not immediately begin real social reform and interlunar talks with the HEP C to address its people's concerns. War is an ugly thing, and we do not want to bring it to Helia."
