***Sentinel Terminal active***
***Logging into LPI report system***
***Filing Report on Patrol***

This is Sentinel 101 filing report on today's patrol of New York.

When Sentinel left West Point, there was a Junker hanging around with Xenos pilots in the cargo hold, a LSF pilot under the call sign "Idliz_M", demanded that they are removed from the Junker's hold, Sentinel moved to aid in the extradition of pilots to smooth events along.

The Junker complied and removed pilots from the hold, as they floated in space, the LSF pilot opened fire on the pilots, killing them in space. Under the law and LPI protocols of cold blooded murder as humans say, Sentinel deemed this as a gross act of murder, and a breach of use of power by the LSF Idliz_M.

Sentinel moved to arrest the LSF pilot to await trial on the murder of criminal pilots that could have paid for their crimes in jail. The LSF pilot failed to see the error of his way, and Sentinel was being forced to take aggressive action against the LSF pilot. However, as weapons were charging, the Junker pilot destroyed the LSF pilots Upholder. Thankfully, the pilot was unharmed, and Sentinel tractored him to West Point to await further actions.

Sentinel has evidence to back this case up, and will upload on request.

Apart from that, there was on Diamonds smuggler who refused to present paperwork on Diamonds cargo, and refused to co-operate with Sentinel's requests to halt, and present paperwork. The smuggler is in a mining vessel under the alias of "SORR10". Sentinel also has cargo scans to back this up.

This concludes the report of Sentinel 101.

From: LPI COmmand

To: All LPI Officers

Subject: Rheinland Blockade.

Here is the message from the Navy on this matter, to be found here.

We, the Liberty Navy, have been considering our policies regarding the embargo that we have regarding the goods going to and coming from Rheinland.
Some formal complaints and requests from the neutral parties affected by the war have been taken into account.
The results are as follows:

0.0
General Trade Vessels and those not listed in other parts of this document:

0.1
Human cargo bound from Rheinland to Liberty is permitted.
It is not recommended that poorly defended ships take on this cargo though, as the Rheinland Military is notorious for its lack of distinction between civilian and military targets.

0.2
Non-military goods bound from Rheinland to Liberty are permitted. For example, consumer goods, luxury food, water, and so on.
Military goods such as engine components or military vehicles however, are not permitted, as they may have been sabotaged and tampered with.

-0.21
Military goods can only be imported across the border from Rheinland if the captains of the transporting vessels possess the correct licensing.
This licensing can be obtained by applying to the high command of the Liberty Navy, and will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
You may also need to keep a small portion of your cargo hold clear for naval inspectors to come aboard, so it can be made sure that what youre hauling has not been sabotaged or tampered with.

0.3
All transports and freighters exporting goods from Liberty to Rheinland will still be asked to refrain from entering Hudson and Bering.
Those ships will be turned back or asked to sell their cargo on planet Houston.

-0.31
Vessels that are repeatedly stopped before entering Bering or Hudson will be penalised by a fine or the destruction of cargo, or both.
The fine will not exceed 3 million credits, but it is at the discretion of the officers on duty to decide how much or how little to punish any offenders within those boundaries.

-0.32
Vessels that manage to evade the Liberty Navy and the Liberty Police Incorporated will have their transponder names noted.
Further encounters may result in confiscation or destruction of the cargo, or severe damage done to these ships.

-0.33
Transport and freighter captains who decide to resist arrest, by either making a break for the border or opening fire on Liberty Navy ships, will be met with deadly force.
We have absolutely no patience for blockade runners in the Liberty Navy.

-0.34
No goods are to be taken across the border from Liberty to Rheinland, even if their origin is not from Liberty. We have no accurate and timely methods of proving or disproving the location of manufacture of many goods. Therefore, the Liberty Navy has chosen to err on the side of caution. Any goods bound for Rheinland but not from Liberty must not be taken across Bering or Hudson.

0.4
The Liberty Navy reserves the right to:

-0.41
Inspect all cargo going through Bering and Hudson, regardless of ship class or affiliation.

-0.42
Stop the shipment of any cargo between Rheinland and Liberty, or the systems in between of Hudson and Bering, if the officer on duty has good reason to do so.

-0.43
Captains of vessels who believe that they were wrongfully prevented from taking commodities across the border, (for example, due to other rules listed here) can make a complaint to the High Command of the Liberty Navy.
Camera evidence must be provided otherwise no action will be taken.
If a legitimate complaint is made and the required evidence is supplied, the officer in question will be asked for his version of events and a decision will be made by the High Command, taking both sides into account.
If the officer in question is found to be guilty of misconduct, affected trade vessels and their respective captains may be eligible for compensation in the form of credits, coupled with the reprimand or demotion of the officer in question.

1.0
In addition to these rules, there are some special regulations for groups of vessels, belonging to certain groups and organizations, listed below.
These override the regulations listed above where applicable.

1.1
Zoners possessing both the correct identification and guard status:

Trade to Freeport Two will not be restricted by the Liberty Navy.
You will not be stopped from shipping the following goods into or out of Bering and Hudson:

- Alien Organisms
- Deuterium
- MOX
- Pineal Amulets
- Ship Hull Panels

2.1
Planetform Incorporated ( PFI| ) vessels:

We are aware that Cold Bay Station in Hudson produces copious amounts of Alien Organisms, a commodity of paramount importance to your corporation.
You will not be hindered whilst shipping this good.
This is already covered by the conditions set to general trading vessels (0.2) as Alien Organisms are not classified as a military good, but it is mentioned here again to clarify this.

3.1
Interspace Neuralnet Department ( [IND] ) vessels:

Your request to supply Bonn station with goods has been approved after extensive talks between representatives of the Liberty Navy and the Interspace Neuralnet Department. The terms are as follows:

-3.2
The IND is authorised to bring these commodities both ways across the border between Liberty and Rheinland:

- Niobium
- Platinum
- Polymers
- Consumer Goods excluding whips, chains and liquid latex
- Food Rations
- H-Fuel
- Holo-tainment Bands
- Iridium
- Luxury Consumer Goods
- Oxygen
- Pharmaceuticals
- Tobacco
- Water
- Wine

-3.3
The IND is authorised to bring these commodities from Rheinland across the border into Liberty only when carrying 5 or more scientists as screening staff:

- Engine Components
- Silver

-3.3
The IND is authorised to take these commodities from Liberty across the border into Rheinland, depositing them on Bonn Station in New Berlin:

- Basic Alloy 500 units maximum
- Boron 500 units maximum
- Optronics 500 units maximum
- Optical chips 500 units maximum
- Quantum Multiplexors 500 units maximum
- Robotic Components 500 units maximum
- Superconductors 500 units maximum
- Super Alloys
- Ship Hull Panels
- Bio-neural Processors

4.0
The Liberty Navy are aware that exceptions and exemptions need to be made to parts of this document from time to time. Parties seeking such privilege should contact any member of High Command, but preferably the current Admiral, David Hale.

-4.1
For an application to be considered, these criteria need to be met:

- The person/people that will benefit from a particular exemption. For example, 1.1 details Zoners possessing both the correct identification and guard status, whereas 2.1 details Planetform Incorporated ( PFI| ) vessels.
- The goods that these exempted parties will be carrying across the border into Bering and Hudson. For example, Superconductors, Military Vehicles, Engine Components and so on.
- The intended destination of the goods, wherever that may be. This is important, even if your vessel is only passing through Rheinland on its way to a destination futher away. For example, destinations could include Freiburg station in Stuttgart or Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta.
- A set of very good reasons why the Liberty Navy should make the particular exemptions for you or your enterprise.
- Assurances of the action that will be taken by your firm or yourself if you or any members under your control are found to be breaking the rules set out by your request for particular exemption.

-4.2
The Liberty Navy reserves the right to:

-4.3
Reject an application for exemption from any part of this document with good reason. If the application is salvageable, you will be advised on the changes that we would like to see. If it is not, you will need to reconstruct it.

-4.4
Reject an application for exemption from any part of the guidelines set out in this document without good reason if the application itself does not fulfil the guidelines set out in 4.1 of this document.

-4.5
Ask for, in addition to the assurances set out by the parties applying for exemption, a deposit of credits to assure that the deal is adhered to. This deposit will be of a size deemed acceptable by the High Command of the Liberty Navy. The deposit will be refundable if the parties cancel the exemption legitimately. The deposit will not be refundable if parties which fall under the agreement are found repeatedly breaking the embargo.

If this changes, an announcement will be made and this document will be amended.

[Marcus Lindberg]

Name: Marcus Lindberg
Rank: Officer
Report No.: No idea, I lost track...

Today, I scored my first kill (which wasn't a fluke). I am a happy man. The victim was a pirate named RAZER. We took him out fast. mainly because I managed to SNAC him.

My First Kill

After that, an Outcast Destroyer by the name "Jarek" was spotted near Fort Bush. I rendezvoused with a bounty hunter, and some LN Ship's were on their way, however, a nearby cruiser patrol open fired on the destroyer causing quite a bit of damage, therefore I authorized all friendlies in the area to go ahead and engage, since we would be able to take it out in a few seconds (which we did).

After that, a stupid Xeno decided to fly around above Fort Bush destroyer ships and carrying LPI, in 2 minutes, 11 bounty hunters and freelancers, literally, went up against that xeno. We managed to take care of it in no time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, that's not all that's going to be in this report. I have submitted a report to the Chief and Deputy Chief's requesting the reinstatement of the Criminal Investigation's department, which would be staffed by Detectives.

I am aware that earlier the detective's department was closed down since there was no real use for them and it was useless overspending of funds. However, I request the reinstatement for the following reason:

1. Many new independent criminal organizations have recently spawned, notably [Cartel] and Legacy.

2. By reinstating the detectives, we would not focus on repelling pirate attacks, but rather tracking down the source of these attacks.

3. The main orders and objectives of the detectives would be to hunt down their leaders such as Don Buccaleto, or FIND[u] out their leaders, since we currently do not know who leads some groups such as Legacy.

4. Since most of these leaders are hiding in the badlands or other debris fields, the Detectives would be given permission to go ahead to the badlands or other debris fields in order to hunt these criminal leaders down.

5. Since they will be operating in the badlands and debris fields, they will be required to be heavily armed and flying ships such as Eagle's or other powerful VHF's to hunt these criminals down. In some cases, they may even need bombers.

6. Unlike SWAT, not everyone will be applicable for detectives, only the Chief will appoint detectives since they will most likely be operating on their own most of the time.

I hope you consider this, since it most definately will decrease crime in Liberty (hopefully).

Ok, that's all.
Lindberg out.
