With Battlegroup Goliath operating in the border worlds, I was operating the Kippax outside of Planet Curacao. Suddenly, a Rheinland Gunboat appeared from around the planet. Ordering to cease movement resulted in it stopping. However, when informing the vessel it was in violation of The Bretonian Charter of Interstellar Law, specifically law 4.4, and in violation of the Treaty of Curacao.

The vessel, once scanned, was registered to the Büro des Marinenachrichtendiensts (BDM), a Rheinlandic militarized organization. It denied Bretonia's control of the system of Cortez, denying the Treaty of Curacao. When attempting to inform the vessel that its attempt to ignore our rightful claim and they have no right to question such, it resisted giving any explanation and attempted to flee into Coronado. A Cryterian vessel was on scene and refuted their movement into the system, disrupting their movements. As the vessel fled, I was forced to fire upon it.

The vessel turned and crash-moored onto Planet Curacao after taking minor damage. It attempted to cite this interaction as a declaration of war. Situation deescalated soon afterwards.

The Rheinlandic Gunboat had a cloaking device as well as a Hyperspace Matrix installed onto the vessel.

[07.04.2021 02:36:43] BAF|HMS-Kippax: CO: Well, that is strange.
[07.04.2021 02:36:55] BDM|U-66: Indeed
[07.04.2021 02:36:59] BAF|HMS-Kippax: CO: Rheinland vessel. Cease moving.
[07.04.2021 02:37:11] BDM|U-66: Is there a problem, Bretonian?
[07.04.2021 02:37:39] BAF|HMS-Kippax: CO: Indeed. You are currently in violation of Bretonian law by operating a military-grade vessel in our space.
[07.04.2021 02:37:53] BDM|U-66: Rheinland does not recognize Cortez as Bretonian space.
[07.04.2021 02:38:17] BAF|HMS-Kippax: CO: That seems like your own issue. This is a joint controlled space.
[07.04.2021 02:38:27] BAF|HMS-Kippax: CO: And currently, you are in violation of it.
[07.04.2021 02:38:39] UC~Parfaitement.Legal: Anderson: Oh this can't be good...
[07.04.2021 02:38:51] BAF|HMS-Kippax: CO: Once more, you will explain yourself.
[07.04.2021 02:39:00] BDM|U-66: You're free to assert your claims, but they are not substantiated by treaty with Rheinland.
[07.04.2021 02:39:07] 2021-04-07 02:39:05 SMT Traffic control alert: UC~Parfaitement.Legal has requested to dock
[07.04.2021 02:39:42] BAF|HMS-Kippax: CO: This is far from Rheinland. We don't need a treaty with Rheinland to do anything of the such.
[07.04.2021 02:40:06] BAF|HMS-Kippax: CO: Explain yourself, or you will be escorted out of the system.
[07.04.2021 02:40:48] BDM|U-66: This is outside of Bretonian space. We do not recognize your authority here - and any attempt to exercise illegal force upon
[07.04.2021 02:40:52] BDM|U-66: our vessel will be considered an act of war.
[07.04.2021 02:41:19] BAF|HMS-Kippax: CO: Failure of reason given. You will exit this space now, towards Libertonian space or other non-Bretonian space.
[07.04.2021 02:41:31] BDM|U-66: We will go as we please.
[07.04.2021 02:41:32] BAF|HMS-Kippax: CO: Cease fleeing.
[07.04.2021 02:41:47] BAF|HMS-Kippax: CO: Fine. Open fire when in range.
[07.04.2021 02:41:53] =CR=FV-Hestia|192: not our way
[07.04.2021 02:42:02] =CR=FV-Hestia|192: stop
[07.04.2021 02:42:13] BAF|HMS-Kippax: CO: Clear it out.
[07.04.2021 02:42:14] =CR=FV-Hestia|192: fine then
