Bretonian Restricted Goods Licensing

Comm ID: Captain Trogdor

Greetings to you at the BPA Licensing Office. I am Captain Trogdor, a Zoner and captain of the nephilim-class Burninator. We operate primarily in the Omega systems that most closely border Bretonia, providing security for Zoner interests and dealing with whatever calamities spring up for us on any given day. I am contacting you in regards to a handful of matters.

First on my list of inquiries is the matter of access of Zoner capital ships to Bretonian space. The allowance of passage for these vessels was, if I remember correctly, a temporary one. Is it still in effect? And if so, when is it set to expire? I would rather avoid another incident.

Which brings me to my next question. With the assumption that our ability to traverse Bretonian space would someday be restricted once more, I decided to commission an away vessel. Something smaller that could respond to events much more swiftly than the Burninator, avoiding much of the headache and escort parade that usually accompanies the need to cross house boundaries. However, everything we were mass-producing was either too big to fit in the Burninator's small hangar bay or too light to actually do anything by itself.

And so I arranged for our shipyard to build a heavier gunboat. The end result was a machine that very closely resembles the Hathor, a ship operated by the Order. Knowing that the Order doesn't exactly have a lot of friends, I checked the laws of the houses I thought I might need to pass through. And while you stated in the Laws of Bretonia that you weren't exactly friendly with the Order, there wasn't anything that said they were banned outright, or even that their equipment was off-limits. And so imagine my surprise when we attempted to breeze through New London and were stopped by a small fleet of BAF! Fortunately I was able to talk them down and was merely escorted out. They informed me I would need to apply for some sort of permit in order to avoid a repeat of this embarrassing situation. I've looked through the records but I haven't been able to find anything that looks like a 'restricted ship permit'.

So, I request further information in this matter. The ship's relevant information is as follows:


The_Consummate_V (Hathor Gunboat, Zoner ID, Zoner Guard IFF)
No other Order technology


And finally, assuming you decide to grant the aforementioned permission, I would like to apply for the N-BEW license. If I find myself in possession of any alien tissue samples, I would most certainly only bring them to Zoner research facilities.

If all of this is agreeable I will have the payment transferred. I'll leave this channel open.
