I want to report a short encounter that occurred 07.02.836 A.S. in the Cambridge System, positioned in front of the New London Jumpgate.
I was approached by two Bretonian Police officers who requested that I cut engines for inspection. The officers questioned me briefly regarding the Expandables, our operations, and whether I had knowledge of a pilot using the callsign “Grenzjaeger.” I confirmed only that he is (or was) an affiliated pilot but that I had not seen him for some time.
They proceeded to inspect my cargo, which consisted of Hull Panels destined for Resolution Heavy Works (BMM facility) in the New London system. Cargo was verified without issue.
During the scan, however, the officers flagged several gunboat turrets mounted on my vessel as illegal in Bretonian space, apparently due to their origin. I informed them the ship had been acquired through a Freeport transaction and that I was unaware of the restriction. The officers issued a 15,000 credit fine, which I paid on the spot, and advised that the turrets be replaced at Portsmouth Shipyard armourers before further long term operations in Bretonia.
No cargo was confiscated, no further action was taken, and I was cleared to continue delivery before proceeding to Portsmouth for refit.
Recommendation to EX pilots operating in Bretonian territory:
Double check mounted weapon legality, particularly if ships were acquired second hand or through Freeports.
Expect occasional questioning regarding EX activities; maintain the standard line that we are urgent commodity logistics contractors.
Keep manifests readily accessible to avoid delays.
