Subject:Alien Artifacts
For many years now the Empire of Kusari sought to restrict the Artifact trade and recently the KOI increased its surveillance and control mechanisms to prevent illicit trade and dangerous research conducted with these ancient leftovers. The Hogosha's stubbornness was broken, their unwillingness to cooperate for the greater good overcome. Now we enlist them actively, several highly sensitive and for the Empire interesting batches of Alien Artifacts will be inbound to Kure Shipyards within the coming weeks. Therefore, in accordance to a decision by the Defense Ministry, the Imperial Shogun and corporate representatives, all authority forces of the Empire will receive new orders and be placed under supervision by the Totsugekitai Division for the duration listed below.
The following orders will be active from the 6th of July onwards.
All KNF, KOI and KSP units are to treat Hogosha vessels carrying Xeno Relics as legal entities and escort them to Kure Shipyard if feasible.
Any other vessel found in possession of Alien Artifacts is subject to standard procedure, however all Alien Artifacts are to be transported to Kure Shipyard if possible.
All Hogosha vessels found leaving the designated perimeter (Honshu, New Tokyo, Kyushu) whilst carrying Xeno Relics will be treated as targets.
Any vessels hauling Xeno Relics within the Shikoku system are subject to termination orders.
These standing orders remain valid until: 21.07.835
