Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen

I am contacting you from my family home on Planet Cambridge. I had to take a short leave of absence from my posting on Planet New London. Even though my trip was ment to be calm and uneventful, I couldn't help but notice several infrictions of Bretonia's Modular Base regulations. The owners of two entire stations seem to not be respecting Bretonia's authority enough to uphold their part.

I request that the Bretonia Government takes care of this situation in a way that suits this behaviour and clearly shows Bretonia's sovereignity.

The first station at fault is the so called Sirius Technology Center. While their Modular Base itself is approved, the location is in direct conflict to:

Point 4.3.4 - Base Operational Regulations

Bases must be no closer than 10K from any existing Base or Jump Gate, unless Special Permission is granted by the War Cabinet.

Not even 1K lies between the Modular Base in question and Waterloo Station.

Evidence Sirious Technology Center

The second station is a more serious case. Directly infront of my home, Planet Cambridge. On the surface the construction-approval was also granted, however the owner has clearly lied on this form.
The Base in question is the Herus Trading Platform. The approval was granted for a Freelancer Modular Base, however the base's transponder clearly reads as Rheinland's Imperial shipping.
Additionally the station stands in direct conflict to:

Point 4.3.4 - Base Operational Regulations

Bases must be no closer than 10K from any existing Base or Jump Gate, unless Special Permission is granted by the War Cabinet.

The Base is located not even 5K away from the Cambridge Research Station.

Point 4.3.5 - Base Modification Protocols

Station Owners are free to make whatever internal station modifications they see fit, including the construction of Shield Relays, Storage Berths and Factories. Despite this, permission must be sought from the Bretonian Government or the BAF Admiralty Board before the placement of Weapon Platforms, due to the highly dangerous nature of the Structures. Once permission has been granted, the Owners of the Structure may only place up to four (4) Platforms unless given special permission.

The most serious offense. Never being granted the permission to built such dangerous installations, the owner still went ahead and posseses ownership of a weapons platform type 2.

Evidence Herus Trading Platform

Additionally, we recently came across a Tirpitz class Rheinland Battlecruiser RNC-Tobias.Schmidt in the Leeds system. Its captain brabled something about an expedition into Omicrons and now being lost. Upon demand he shut down the Tirpitz' shields and followed my snubcraft out of Bretonia while the Auxilarry-vessel King-George.V stayed close behind and kept the Battlecruiser in its sight in case it tried anything.
We request that this situation be cleared up.
