Sirius Legal Codex

[MrCynical]

Many traders and independent operatives have become increasingly concerned at the lack of publicity given to the laws of the major houses in Sirius. We want to obey the law - but to do that we have to know what it is. This document is an attempt to present in written form the major laws affecting Sirius. Those who have additional information should submit their observations for incorporation into this document.

Laws common to all houses:

• Counterfeit software, Cardamine, Synthetic Marijuana, Slaves, and pilots of lawful affiliation are contraband
  
• Failing to obey the instructions of a law enforcement officer may result in force being used
  
• Those carrying a criminal identification (such as Corsair, Pirate) will be asked to leave the House systems and destroyed if they refuse
  

Laws specific to Rheinland

• Zero-tolerance policy on pirates. Any person who is, or claims to be, a pirate will be shot on sight
  
• The full detail of Rheinland law can be found in the Rheinland Military website
  

Laws specific to Liberty

• Pilots identifying as Smugglers may go about their business provided they are not carrying any contraband
  
• Mercenaries are not allowed within Liberty space without specific clearance from high command
  
• Zone 21 and the Alaska system are reserved for the Liberty military services. Any other craft which enters either of these areas will be destroyed if it refuses to leave. Any Liberty-hostile craft (e.g. Corsair) which enters either of these areas may be engaged and destroyed without warning. The same goes for Virginia
