[font=Courier New]This is the Bretonia Police Authority. Widely held to be a bastion of justice throughout Sirius, the BPA is respected by friends and foes alike. The BPA is responsible for the public safety of all Bretonian citizens and foreign visitors, provided that they are not hostile towards Bretonia, our Allies, or ourselves. Standard Operations include scanning transports for contraband, collecting fines, upholding the Kusari embargo and operating the important Nomad Transportation Licensure Board. As the BPA is also responsible for the safety of the public, we will engage pirates, terrorists, and other enemies only when they are a threat to us and the public.
The BPA has a limited presence in Salisbury and Dublin, but will enter if the need arises. Both are areas under heavy patrol by the BAF, and have been deemed areas that are unsafe for regular unarmed BPA Officers. Only AFO-Certified Officers should enter Dublin, as it is a highly dangerous and contested area. [SRD ships may make regular patrols to protect Bretonian Mining and Metals affiliated Miners and remove any illegally operating ships. Upon entry of Dublin, Constables should expect fire fights, and withdraw to the HMS Essex if caught in between.

[font=Arial Narrow]Planetform was founded under the straightforward, if challenging, goal of turning a barren planet into one ripe for agricultural purposes within a time frame of 400 years. Originally funded solely by the Bretonian Government, Planetform came into existence in late 411 AS, as a group of Cambridge and California scientists banded together to give Planet Harris a new place in Sirius. Due to the naturally planet starved environments of The Barrier, and the ecologically devastated condition of Leeds, it came as no surprise that the Bretonian Crown was more than willing to pour credit after credit into Planetform's promising methods of terraforming, despite the incredibly long-term contract they found themselves in.
The future of the Harris and Ayr projects began to cloud in the mid 700's, with the advent of a deadly and fanatical eco-terrorist group known as the 'Gaians'. Exacting what appeared to be a personal vendetta, the Gaians began to hamper Planetform's operations in-system and across Bretonia. Planetform adapted to this threat, placing large bounties on criminal elements that threatened their work. With the situation in Tau 31 seeming to finally calm down, increased hostilities between the Governments of Bretonia and Kusari developed into full-scale war. The Harris project's logistics became increasingly difficult to maintain in light of a Kusari blockade, due to its position as the last Bretonian bastion in the Tau 31 system. Planetform's Bretonian heritage made them no friends with Kusari.
In the years that followed, things took a turn from bad to worse, when the threat of Gallia was revealed, their forces pushing through the Tau region. The Gallic invasion of the Tau's forced the MacDuff fleet to retreat from Tau-31 completely, leaving planet Harris undefended, this ultimately forced Planetform to all but abandon the Harris project completely. Matters didn't make themselves any better... elsewhere, however. Planet Ayr and Perth Station were captured by Gallic forces as Bretonian ships retreated from Edinburgh.
Thankfully, the Kingdom of Gallia has little to no-interest in Planet Harris and have left the planet itself completely alone. Local security forces have made sure to avoid aggravating the Gallic's, believing their position only to be secure due to the invaders considering them harmless. Of course, this was due to change in the near future with the establishment of the Department of Corporate Freebooting.
With the Bretonian government in no position to fund the company as it had in the past, Planetform has been forced to branch out in an attempt to become a Trans-Sirius company, putting more emphasis on it's other projects abroad. In particular, Planetform's trade wing has been reinforced and expanded in order to distribute the company's two innovative and lucrative new inventions, FloraGro and Xenobiotic Filters. The Board of Directors has recently seen fit to acquire several smaller firms in the agriculture and chemical production industries, in an attempt to offset losses in the firm's main business focus, expanding the corporation's portfolio in the process.

Due to the rather recent fall of Tau-31 and Edinburgh, the Board of Directors for Planetform Incorporated came together and agreed on establishing a newer department, the Department of Corporate Freebooting. With trade booming between Gallia and Kusari, the DCF - as it's commonly known as internally - sprung into action, setting it's sights on targeting any and all Gallic corporate ship spotted in the Tau region.

[font=Agency FB]Additional Information
OCC
[font=Arial Narrow]I know my past might be an issue for some people, but I hope I can actually prove otherwise with attempting to establish Planetform Incorporated as a player ran faction. It's one of the only factions actually missing from Bretonia as a whole, and I feel I can help generate activity with Gallia and Bretonia.
So first and foremost, I have large goals in mind for this - many of which might not even happen or might get shot down, and I intend on making sure this faction is a strict role-play faction, meaning you'll be seeing quite a few role-play posts going on.
I'll go ahead and answer any questions about the Terraforming packages. Planetform Incorporated is a terraforming faction, lore wise we've generated most of our income by terraforming Harris, Ayr, California Minor, and Atka.
The general idea behind this is to help expand the player driven aspect of Discovery. With approval of the development team and administrators themselves, we would allow various factions to purchase terraforming packages.
Step One
The faction who bought the terraforming package would have to send the package amount of credits to PFI's vault. A quarter of the credits are then sent to the Administrators, a second quarter goes to funding and supplying the station itself, the third quarter goes to the faction, and the fourth is a reimbursement should anything happen to the station during the terraforming project.
Using the forums, and in-game mechanics of player stations, we would build a station in orbit of the requested planet that needs to be terraformed. This step is both the first step in both the IC and OOC process.
Step Two
Once the station is built, a pre-established amount of terraforming equipment and commodities are assigned by the developers or administrators themselves, once the station is supplied with these RP goods, a screenshot will be taken and given to the administrator or developer.
Step Three
Should nothing have happened to the station, forum role-play would have already established between PFI and the faction requesting the terraforming. This can arrange to be Communication threads, meetings, or workers planet-side.
Step Four
Once enough RP has been established and if the station is still standing - we, Planetform, would go to the developers / storyboard leader and present them with the necessary information to see about getting the planet terraformed within the next coming mod or in a later version.
During this phase, the station can still be attacked... however wouldn't necessarily be needed as the process of terraforming had actually started.
