Greetings, I'd like to verify legality of my actions, so I'll ask few questions:

<span style="font-size:24pt;line-height:100%]Bretonian Charter of Interstellar Law
Within the Domain of Her Majesty Carina I, Queen of Bretonia, Empress of the Taus, Sovereign of the stars of Dundee, Chester, Lewis, Orkney, Inverness, Poole and Salisbury, the following Rules and Regulations shall be enforced by the agents of Her Majesty, the Crown.
Primarily, all persons and organisations are granted, so far as they conduct themselves in a manner that does not inhibit these same rights in others, the rights of protection under the law, freedom of assembly, passage, and transport, with the following restrictions:
Trade and Cargo
[...]
The Following Item(s) are Listed as LIMITED CONTRABAND.
IMG and Zoner ships may carry cargo through Bretonia and as far as their holdings in the Tau systems. IMG and Zoner ships found moving goods through the Taus into Kusari will be fined 5 million credits.
BAF and BPA pilots have the right to demand the destination of the traders and confirm it via intel. Traders found to be trading with Kusari must drop their cargo or sell it at Bretonian bases. Traders found to have lied about their destination will be treated as enemies of the Crown.
According to new orders, Zoners aren't allowed to supply Freeport Six directly, is that right?
Combat and General Conduct
Enemy combatants
Include, but are not limited to: Kusari Nationals, Mollys, Corsairs, Wilde, Nomads.
Enemy combatants should be dealt with in all prudence, with the understanding that they are a threat to the Denizens of the Realm. Persons projecting terrorist com signatures, such as Coalition or Gaian signatures, will be treated as enemy combatants.
Does this mean we shoot down Kusari civilians, "criminals" and revolutionarees as well? Golden Chrysanthemus are tolerated, as I heard somewhere. Or they gain status of fugitive?
Ships Manufactured in Hostile Nations
Anyone found flying ships produced by Bretonia's enemies will be halted and questioned about their activities. However, mere possession of such a ship without corresponding Kusari ID papers does not, on its own, constitute sufficient grounds for prosecution or arrest.
This conflicts with standing orders to shoot people flying military ships.
[...]
Excuse me for taking your secretary's time, however I'd like to ensure efficiency and competence of Bretonia Police officers on those matters.
Sincerely, constable Alice Ross, Bretonia Police Authority
This is recordings of a large fight between these "OSS Order chaps" that came into Dublin looking for a fight earlier. I recorded entire conversation as Matilda was on seen from beginning. I also found it Strange that the Essex did not fire at any of these attacking Fighters as they passed within meters of her gun's. This will have to be looked at by command. I will upload all Data for high command to sift through.
Quote:According to new orders, Zoners aren't allowed to supply Freeport Six directly, is that right?
No, Zoners may supply their freeports.
Quote:Does this mean we shoot down Kusari civilians, "criminals" and revolutionarees as well? Golden Chrysanthemus are tolerated, as I heard somewhere. Or they gain status of fugitive?
No. Common sense to apply. Those Kusari Nationals allied to the Kusari Naval forces shall be shot down, and Kusari Trading faction. Those Kusari that oppose their government are not our enemies, precisely. The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend; or at least neutral.
Quote:This conflicts with standing orders to shoot people flying military ships.
No, it does not. Flying a Kusari military ship makes you an enemy. Flying a Kusari Civilian ship makes you a target of questioning.
Since there are some grey areas, apparently, I will revise the original orders.

Report:
While on surveillance in orbit of Planet New London, I was engaged by a vessel identified as freestiner. The ship gave no reasons for engaging and boldly did the action in front of the Capital. Soon after the vessel ran out of nanobots it began to flee, where I lost track of it.
A few hours later, I managed to catch and neutralize the target. Until further notice, I would like this ship to be listed as hostile to the Crown.
