Zoner Carrier border violation
One of our automatic Tiger Sharks interceptors during a routine patrol encountered in Sigma-21 an extremely well-armored and armed Zoner Carrier named ZC-Arkadia. After being ordered, Arkadia complied and stopped for a routine inspection and questioning. During the questioning the captain admitted to flying from Omicron Rho to Sigma-15, stopping at Freeport 8, before continuing to Sigma-21. This is a direct violation of the Directive for foreign capital ships and law enforcement vessels and subsequently was fined 20 million credits.
However the captain refused to pay the fine, mentioning that this was a matter for the "Zoner Council". He was then promptly informed that Rheinland does not have the obligation to negotiate with any Zoner Council when in comes to their House Law violations. The captain was offered an alternative way instead of direct payment by assisting us in R&D of a civilian vessel but he refused again, citing neutrality. In the end he was pressed again to pay the 20 million SC while being warned that there would be consequences for refusing. Instead he said that he doesn't have that money. Strangely enough only the ship's extra armor plating is valued to cost at least 40 times the amount of the imposed fine.
Subsequently, and as a Light Fighter could not force the issue more on the Zoner Carrier, the captain was informed that he has 24 hours to send the payment. But no payment has arrived so far. Finally, the report's precedence is flagged as Priority considering that a warship of that size and power was intercepted while flying right behind our battle lines in Sigma-21.
