After much thinking on the matter, I decided before the new movie that I might be switching my initial character to Romulan (yes, I am aware they will not be a player faction at launch). After considering the matter, I have indeed decided to switch my character to Romulan and have applied for membership to (and been accepted by) the Imperial Romulan Fleet.
Due to the recent problems with cross-guild spies that I learned of from Jayrelo's podcast, I have kept in contact with Freejack to keep him informed of my descision. As of this moment I am officially withdrawing from my duties here as ambassador and liason, to better avoid any perceptions of impropriety on my part.
I wish you all the best and Qapla'!
