Message to: ALL INDEPENDENT MILITARY OFFICIALS
Comm ID: Fleet Admiral Hiltraud Kaiser, Rheinland Military
The true and biggest problem we have here with your 'status' or whatever you'd like to call it is this: WE ARE THE FINAL AUTHORITY IN RHEINLAND. Not you. Am I clear? I will not have you undermining my or my officers' authority because you're on some power trip! If one of my men gives an order you will do everything in your power to follow said order or pay the same consequences my men have faced when they've been insubordinate little pukes.
Follow the noble laws of our Fatherland and you'll be welcome with open arms. Follow any and all RM directives and you will find no trouble here. I reiterate, read, follow and obey all of RM law. You will find them attached:
Rule #1: RM Authority is LAW.
If a member of the Rheinland Military asks you to stop, you stop.
If they say "Hold for cargo scan and ID verification," hold position and wait for them to say you can go.
If they ask "What is your business in Rheinland?", replying "None 'o yo' bees-wax!" is not appropriate and will probably get you shot. Silence will be taken as hostile.
Just do what the nice man/woman in the Rheinland Ship O' Hurt says, and they won't be forced to open up that can-o'-whup@$$ on you.
Rule #2: If the NPC's think it's illegal, so do we.
That means artifacts, cardamine, Synthetic Marijuana, Slaves, Counterfeit Software and any Naval, Police, Civilian, or Freelancer pilots. You can keep the pirates. Please, keep the pirates. Sell 'em where you wish. You're doing good just by shooting the d*mn b*stards.
Rule #3: Piracy will not be tolerated.
If you are a pirate, or even claim to be a pirate, we will shoot you down. Don't joke about that kind of stuff, because we won't know the difference.
For piracy:
A Zero-Tolerance policy concerning pirates has been enacted. You will be shot on sight.
Penalties:
For smuggling;
-First offence) 8 million credit fine, you will be asked to drop your cargo, and cargo will be destroyed (barring pilots or slaves).
-Second offence) Shot on sight.
IF YOU DO NOT COMPLY AT ANY STAGE, YOU WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT.
