Battlegroup Harmony Rheinland Law Violations

---

During a regular patrol in Bering system, I came in contact with a ship supplying a modular station called German Market Place. The captain revealed himself as Hans Walter, the owner of the station. He was suspicious of me at first but I quickly reassured him that as a law-abiding Rheinland citizen he is entitled to all the support we can afford. Then he told me that feels unsafe because he is not allowed by the Battlegroup Harmony to build weapon platforms.

After more convincing and a bit of intimidation on my part he sent me the following transmission with all the evidence. As it can be clearly witnessed by reading these transmissions, Battleground Harmony imposes their own set of laws^[1], demands 50 millions SC as protection money every month^[2], regulates the construction of these bases^[3], all within Rheinland territory^[4].

This is not the first case, Harmony has attempted before to impose their own laws on Rheinland stations within Rheinland space as well as extort 50 millions per month from civilians. After some searching in our archives I discovered a previous case. I will quote some of their statements to the Polizei.

I sincerely apologize for our attitude in handling this situation, and my demand was a criminal one, and should the Polizei see fit to issue a fine, I shall pay it. I do wish to assure you, this type of attitude will not occur again.

Indeed I do admit that the demand was made unlawfully as the station is within Rheinlands territory of Bering. The demand was followed by initial intelligence reporting the facility had been constructed farther north, and in my haste, had failed to check. Acting on available intelligence and unable to get into the field myself to confirm, I had issued such believing it had fallen into Liberty's section of Bering and thus fall under Libertonian law.

Based on previous testimony, Admiral Linford admits wrongdoing but blames it on the fact that the base was too close to the border with Liberty. Considering in this case the German Market Place is well within Rheinland territory, this constitutes as clear deception on their part and Admiral Linford can be also prosecuted for false testimony^[5].


However upon receiving new orders from the Oberkommando, the case will not be prosecuted or forwarded to the Polizei, but will be archived with immediate effect.
