' Wrote:LPI shouldn't be in Bering enforcing Liberty's laws there. This is because Liberty doesn't claim Bering as its own. Tau-31 is a different story, Gallia claims Tau-31 as its own - thus making it within role play for the GRP to be there doing their thing while the Navy is south fighting the Brets.

' Wrote:[imo]BPA and LPI should not be enforcing house law in Magellan or Cortez, except for ~14k surrounding gates and holes into their space.

Same goes for KSP/LPI in Galileo/Kepler and KSP/RFP in Sigma-13.[/imo]

I would argue same goes for BPA/RFP in Omega-3 and Omega-7 and BPA/KSP in Tau-31 and Tau-29, but I can imagine the massive (albeit invalid) QQ storm that would follow.

Quote:I digress, I can see GRP in Tau-31 but enforcing Gallic law is crap on a stick. If there was come kind of Kusari/Gallia/IMG (most importantly including IMG) treaty that set out terms for mutual enforcement of law within the Taus it would be reasonable.

' Wrote:Exactly.
Military should defend house's borders.

' Wrote:So in other words, I voted Yes and No.

' Wrote:I'm not understanding Gallia has any claim to Tau-31 other than the fact they have a single battleship , something I would consider a foothold. Holding a defensive position acquired during an engagement. Bretonia has an entire planet in the system as well as miners in the asteroid field. Overall if anyone were to claim it would most likely be in Bretonia's favor.

Note: The only thing that even lists Tau-31 is the GRP as a contested system where they assist the GRN. This does not demonstrate any claim. Sounds more like they are reinforcements when needed otherwise they are restricted to Gallia's Core Worlds.

' Wrote:In my opinion, and as a member of the BPA, Police should not be patroling in the Borderworlds. However thay can go in there if they are called in, or are in Hot Pursuit. After all Police can even go to other countries if they are in Hot Pursuit, and they have treaties.

As for enforcing house law, they can if the law was broken in the house.
Of course there are grey areas, with places like O3 and O7, which Bret and RHienland claim as thier own, even though originally they were Border World.

' Wrote:There are treaties in place which allow military patrols, although they are to respect the neutrality of the Freeports and interests of other bases in these systems.
As I said, Omega-3 is considered sovereign territory of Bretonia, while Magellan is only a protectorate. We're not going to start patrolling Tau-31 under the nose of the Carcassone though.
I believe the Gallic policy on IMG's opinion is "Leave your complaints with the captains of our massive fleet above your bases that could wipe you out if they felt like it".
Which is all fine and dandy when it's border threats, but since this is a game, people tend to decide that bringing their caps to the core worlds. The military has to be there to meet this threat.
You are likely the first to not vote Yes/Yes or No/No, way to unbalance the votes:P
The claim to Tau-31 is one of the first things they say in their laws.
They might only have the one stationary battleship there, but it represents the Carcassone Battlegroup, which is a considerable group of ships. If Bretonia were to try and reclaim it, they'd be unlikely to win. Even if they did, they'd lost most of their fleet and Gallia would have even less in its way to conquer Bretonia.
There's no dispute that they are allowed to, but whether it fits the RP. The lanes are owned by the Navy, so military patrols are to be expected (even without the war). Not that there is much trade for the LPI to monitor there anyway.
