The ownership of Omega-11

[AeternusDoleo]

Rulewise:
It's an Borderworld system, not part of the Rheinland house. It has a Daumann and a Hessian base. It has Bounty Hunter and Corsair additional patrols, and various trade ships travelling along the buoys from the gate towards Solarius.

RP-wise:
It's a mining colony system that Daumann more or less annexed. Daumann as a corporation could lay claim to the mining grounds (which the Hessians would contest) either alone or backed by the Rheinland military. That they start to impose mining taxes and tariffs for entering the system is interesting... Unless this move was sanctioned (and enforced) by the Rheinland government, I don't see how this could be a lawful act. However, considering only Daumann and the Hessians receive a serious diamond mining bonus, it's doubtful that they'll have much competition in mining. And taxing your own indies is against faction rules I believe...

Imposing a tariff for trade vessels is in and of itself an unlawful act, which I do not believe the Daumann ID actually permits (unless against a rival mining faction). Would be interesting to see what the RFP make of it:). It's no better or worse then piracy, to tax players for moving through a nonguard system. But be careful in going agressive, Daumanites, for a 6.10 sanction doth loometh...

[Edit] Going the forumlancer way to get the RFP's take on this:)
