Earlier today a Jupiter Guild pilot going by the callsign TheJackle was spotted in New Berlin by myself flying one of our Snubnose bombers. Obviously I've questioned and ordered him to return the ship. Not only he did disregard the order, he demonstrated outright disdain towards the Kriegsmarine's authority and the Rheinland nation. Upon that I've ordered our pilots to seek and destroy the ship granting them clearance to enter the border systems of Bering or Hudson to hunt the escaping ship. Unfortunately we didn't succeed in stopping the ship before it went too far inside Hudson, so I called our pilots back.
I've contacted the Jupiter Guild pilot and instructed him to return the ship, to which he reiterated his unwillingness to do so.
Later I've been contacted by our long range stations about the ship's return to Rheinland space. I've instructed our pilots to intercept, hail and reiterate the earlier order. At that moment I was under the impression that the pilot had come to his senses and was indeed ready to comply to the orders and return the ship. Unfortunately I was wrong. As I neared the jumpgate to Hamburg in New Berlin, it was blatant that the Jupiter Guild pilot had no intentions of returning Rheinwehr's ship. I then gave him an ultimatum, ordering that he landed in New Berlin where our personnel would take back the ship and even requested a lease Hawk HF so he could return to his people. He told us he would comply to that order, but as soon as we reached Essen, the ship mingled in between the traffic inbound to the Dortmund station and managed to dock.
I've issued the search and arrest order to the local marine squadron. Meanwhile, a second Jupiter Guild ship arrived in New Berlin, identified as "Reminas", demanding an explanation. Understanding the pilot of this second ship to be a superior of the first one, I've urged him to contact his pilot and have him comply to our orders. He didn't do that. Instead he stated that his organization had clearance for flying our ships. I've instructed him to then return the ship and file in a complaint through proper channels to clarify things. He insisted that we let his pilot go, but I denied his request, stating that the ship wouldn't be allowed to leave Rheinalnd space. I've ordered the marine group in Dortmund to secure and seize the pilot.
I've then instructed Reminas to contact High Command about his claims that they were allowed to fly our ships. I've also stated that until an account of that ship's return to our nation or some clarification on his claims, his pilot would remain under our custody. I've made it clear that if that pilot was spotted flying before that, not only him, but his entire organization would then be deemed outlaws and treated as such within Rheinland territory.

P.S: Reminas entered our territory sporting both Corsair and Nomadic equipment. I've educated him as to our laws regarding such materials.
