Ladies and gentlemen of the Conglomerate community, welcome.
The last seven days have seen tremendous upheaval on the face of the Ten Continents of Auraxis. Since the 20th of July, there has been a huge upswell in the Vanu ranks (and a parallel loss of Conglom and some Terran ranks) of defectors to the Sovereignty. This reason has nothing to do with loyalty. It has little to do with comaraderie. It has everything to do with a patch that SOE released that has made the Vanu Lasher the latest toy of the Sovereignty. Previous to this, the Vanu were known for Magrider strafing runs, for flying MAX armors, and for hit-and-run strikes that takes them out of the range of our Jackhammers. Now, they're known for being a swarming fighting force, with many of them armed with a juiced-up version of their Lasher. The nature of its enhancements have dispirited the other two empires, and have led to defections of players to the Vanu empire, just to play with these weapons, loyalty be damned.
The last seven days have opened for us an incredible opportunity.
Who do we have left on the Conglomerate armies? The most dedicated. The most skilled. Fighters that won't yield or give in when an opposing army suddenly has an unexpected capacity for slaughter. We have the same comrades that matter - the patriots of the outfits, who have dug in their heels to the dust and will meet the coming Vanu challenges with heart and stubbornness.
What does that leave us? It leaves us, as Conglomerate warriors, with HP and EXP bonuses since we're now the population underdog. The riff-raff of all our outfits are now cleared - less whiners, less troublemakers. It gives the Terrans a sudden wildcard - the Vanu is THEIR opposing army as well. It opens the door to clearing the slate of older Vanu-oriented tactics and replacing them with new and unexpected methods we've been dying to try. Terrans and Congloms have been sharing such tactics to one another on a personal basis, allowing our mutual battlefield to evolve. Let freedom of communication reign.
No one is undefeatable. Both the Terrans and the Vanu proved that when we'd sweep the infantry field with Jackhammers and would watch their men and women die, and they kept coming. And WE will prove it to them, both Vanu and Terran, that they are now facing the finest, the noblest, the most dedicated the Conglomerate has to offer. They call us anarchists. Let us remind them that we are, in truth,
revolutionaries.
Let the call go out to every Conglomerate soldier and outfit on Johari. Let the core of our armies rally and regroup to face the enemy as an indomitable wall of bravery and determination. For too long, we have operated as outfit-nations unto ourselves, and have held our own. Now we are called to a GREATER unity, a greater challenge - to shout out a mighty thunder across Auraxis that
the free citizens of the New Conglomerate will NEVER yield!
With sincerity,
Turgenev

Are you a Conglomerate outfit leader, seeking to join arms with your bretheren in a more organized fashion? If so, please direct your attention to our public forums on
http://www.iron-hq.com/forums/ - introduce yourselves, talk with us, and add your voice to ours. Also note, the purpose of this letter is to rally and encourage our Conglomerate (and ok, even the Terran) militia. This is NOT an invitation to complain about the Lasher or the Vanu. Post here to show your support of this contention. Thank you.
