to the bretonian trade cartels

"i am afraid to announce that all deliveries of alien samples that have been delivered in the ten thousands to the research facility of cambridge ( CRI ) will cease from that moment. - Freeport 11 support for the bretonian research in alien matters was always one of our major and flourishing trade relationships - and we were glad to have such ties of trust and profit.

since i myself come from Leeds, i always tried to uphold at least those ties. - but today, i was stopped with a shipment of Iridium in Leeds that was going to the Tau Systems ( freeport 10 ).

intercepted and questioned by the BAF like a common criminal, i was forced to turn the ship around which cost me at least a weeks worth fuel; not to mention the time.

i am saddened that a relationship of trust ends like that on the basis of over-suspicious "police-men". during the encounter, the officerrs even attempted to force me to sell the valuable iridium on leeds - for a price that can only be called a steal ( or piracy ).

so my personal tradeships will avoid bretonian space in the near future and will instead forge.... new ties to different, more grateful houses. our deuterium and iridium will most certainly find many other customers.

however, no real harm was done - and the consequences taken are just a logical step when trade relationships "dry up".

who knows - maybe in the future, bretonia will be a better market again.

edit: //ooc that is of course only the logical consequence... cause i was of course trying to blockade run you guys =P ... can t trust the KNF to put some pressure on the BAF to keep you busy enough.
