 MEMBER_TO_CUSTODIAN_FRIENDLY_GREETING_02:0 "How can we best be of service to the Galactic Community, Custodian?"
 MEMBER_TO_CUSTODIAN_FRIENDLY_GREETING_03:0 "The Galactic Community is lucky to have you, Custodian."
 OUTSIDER_TO_CUSTODIAN_NEUTRAL_GREETING_01:0 "So the Galactic Community has a "leader" now. Interesting."
 OUTSIDER_TO_CUSTODIAN_NEUTRAL_GREETING_02:0 "The appointment of a Custodian does not make membership in the Galactic Community more appealing to us, but we shall see."
 OUTSIDER_TO_CUSTODIAN_NEUTRAL_GREETING_03:0 "So the other members of the Community are the vassals of the Custodian then? No? Apologies, but we are still struggling to understand the exact nature of this arrangement."
 OUTSIDER_TO_CUSTODIAN_HOSTILE_GREETING_01:0 "The Galactic Community has always been a rotten institution, and that was BEFORE the idiots in its Senate made you Custodian."
 OUTSIDER_TO_CUSTODIAN_HOSTILE_GREETING_02:0 "The members of the Community are bigger fools than we thought, if they offered the Custodianship to the [From.GetName]."
 OUTSIDER_TO_CUSTODIAN_HOSTILE_GREETING_03:0 "You [From.GetSpeciesNamePlural] can't run the [From.GetName], and now you are expected to guide the entire Galactic Community? Ha!"
 OUTSIDER_TO_CUSTODIAN_FRIENDLY_GREETING_01:0 "It looks like the Galactic Senate did something right for once when you were appointed Custodians of the Community! Perhaps we should consider membership."
