All Battleship class ships from any foreign nations are permanently banned from Liberty for security reasons due to the rising tension between Liberty and Rheinland and political instabilities in Liberty. Liberty government will, from now, not tolerates any violator since they could be labeled as a ship trying to take power of Liberty space.
However, permissions to fly in Liberty might be granted to some Battleship pilots for the following reasons:
Diplomatic purposes with the Liberty Government
Rendezvous with bankers that are in Liberty to do a transfer
Flying through Liberty to get to another system
For Emergency Repairs
Rendezvous with an Arms dealer
The concerned pilot must make a request to an officer in charge of the Navy, Liberty security force or Liberty police inc. If a pilot dares to enter Liberty Illegally, (s)he will be nullified.
Question:
Is the Bounty Hunter Guild (BHG) a "NATION" or "Corporate entity"?
I do not believe that the BHG can be classified as a nation due to the fact that it does not have a well defined set of boarders. Therefore it falls under the heading of a corporate entity.(Isn't their headquartes based on Houston?) It has diplomatic and trade agreements for their bases within the surounding Houses. As a corporation it would be prudent that when moving its larger capital class ships that it would have a standing agreement with those houses for rights of passage. So as far as the law reads, I see no reason to ban the BHG capital ships from Liberty. The BHG capital ship pilots should let the Lawful officials know that he/she is in the area and availiable to give assistance when asked.
On the other side of the coin:
If the comunity decides that the BHG is a nation then one could understand the meaning that all Houses would be at odds with them for invading and holding of sovereign territory.
