Gentlemen, miss San Savage,

The incident in question was prompted by multiple altrecations with the members of the band known as "Rorry's Renegades". There have been several incidents involving raids on the mining fields in neighbouring Omega 7, as well as blockades, both in the Aland base perimiter and near the Omega 3 to Omega 7 gate. When we learned they gathered once more near the gate, we scrambled together what fighters were available and were of the intent to send them a message, that frankly, enough was enough. The ruffians then fled into the Freeport perimiter, thinking your welcoming nature would shield them from harm.

Our request to deny their access is not based on section 3.4, which is intended to prevent enemies of Bretonia from launching raids into Bretonia, out of the Freeport. Our request is based on section 3.2:
* 3.2: The administration of Freeport One is given the power to regulate docking rights to Freeport One. Vessels and pilots known to be a threat to local commercial shipping will be denied docking rights.
Miss San Savage, would you argue that the band known as Rorry's Renegades, is in fact -not- a threat to civilian shipping in the Omega 3 and Omega 7 systems? I could request evidence of specific incidents if you require it - from various parties, not just of the Guild, but frankly their reputation would speak for itself.

I've been a strong proponent of the rights of Freeport One in the establishment of this treaty. The Bretonian authorities were, at the time, hesitant to even include the Freeport authorities in the treaty. I would request that you prove them wrong, and make that statement - That individuals that have nothing but the intent to prey on civilians within the Omegas, are not welcome there. That the Freeport is a place for those who seek a place away from the rules and constraints of the houses, but wish to live there in peace. That the Freeport is not a pirate hive, as some of Bretonia has come to see it.


Regards,
- Johnathan Sanders, on behalf of the Independent Miners Guild
