Subject: Criminals using Freeport 1
Honourable representative of the Confederation, respected administrator Wyrdmake,
The Freeport one no-fire zone has been rather busy during the last week. We have found several criminals trying to use it as protection from the Bretonian Law, probably uninformed of our treaties. As a side effect of that, a few weapon beams or shells fired from our ships might have hit the Freeport and we hope that none have caused significant damage, or God forbid, life loss. If our fears are true, we are willing to compensate for the prior and do our best to mitigate the latter.
We can not let those pirates use Freeport 1 as their hideout, let alone stage their attacks from it. I ask that the pirate ships' docking rights be removed. They are the following:
I would also like to ask you to remind the captain of the ZNF-Guardian, a Nephilim class, that foreign capital ships have to receive permission from the Bretonian authorities to enter Bretonian space, and a certain Cpt.Trent (Zoner Waran) that the Bretonian authorities are, by the Freeport One Collective Security Agreement and the Betlehem Treaty, allowed to apprehend criminals and combat enemies inside the Freeport 1 no-fire zone, should the criminals and enemies refuse to leave the 10K sphere. I have received reports of the two ships firing upon Armed Forces ships because of their misinformation, but I am not in possession of hard evidence.
