SA - Formal Complaint

[Zelot]

TO: SA Command

From: Captain of Silly Lily Transport ship

Re: Unwarranted attack and Destruction at the Hands of SA



Sirs,



I would like to file a formal compliant due to the destruction of my ship outside of NY today. I was going to Manhattan and stopped for authorization to land. I have a Nomad thruster, that has been on my ship for a long time and I had actually forgotten it was there. I was told I have to buy a nomad license for it. In respond I ask what the fine for said violation was. He told me it was death. Now I don't care about the thruster and have already traded it out, but I 5 million credits or death is a steep price tag. I offered to give the officer in question possession of the thruster, and when he told me he couldn't do that, because he was not authorized to handle it, I offered to jettison the thruster and destroy it in front of him, and that too was not acceptable. It seems clear to me that these laws are not about stopping the spread of nomad technology, but instead about making money for your organization. Why is it that the destruction of said material is not enough? And 5 million credits? That is insane when you don't allow for any other choice.



I would like to know SA's official policy in regards to traders willingly giving up the item in question. I have radio logs of the event, but will not post the publicly. I would also like to question why the officer in question allowed ships to open fire on me while we were discussing the situation without say anything to them about holding fire.



Captain of the Lily
