The IMG are not considered enemies of the state of Bretonia; to the contrary, they have been shown to respect Bretonian authority within the Dublin system and elsewhere, even if they also placate the Kusari invaders in Tau-31. Any engagement between BMM and IMG vessels within Bretonian sovereign territory is illegal regardless of who shot first, and will not be tolerated.
~ Admiral Daniel Arthur Haynes, BAF|
It's silly. They have skirmishes in Tau-23, yeah, sure, but so do Daumann and Kruger... neither group is so stupid as to do it in Bretonia, and "shady action away from the eyes of the law" is only as much grounds for repninjas as Daumann buying slaves out of sight is grounds for them to be made hostile to the RM.
As a player, an admiral in the BAF|, and a dev, I fully support the removal of this rephack.
