Freeport 1 "laws"

Freeport 1 Laws

Due to recent events within Omega 3, the operatives on Freeport 1 felt the need
to request the presence of a guard ship.
To ensure at least the minimal security, Zoners have proclaimed following laws, enabling every visitor to feel like welcome guest.

Moved and seconded that NO assault forces staging for attacks on their enemies be allowed to use ANY Zoner facility for this purpose. Documented proof of such abuse of Zoner facilities will be punishable by complete and permanenent banishment from our Freeports and Bases for the offending party or parties.


-Firearms are to be locked away before setting foot on the station.

No personal fights or brawls are allowed and will result in the immediate ejection from the station. Offenders will be politely escorted to their ships.

-Nomad samples have to be held in special security containers at all times!

They should stay on the ship. We do not wish to be responsible of possible contamination of the station. If samples are adrift near the station, they will be destroyed as soon as possible.

-All ships within 6 kilometer radius are expected to obey ceasefire zone rule!

We do not tolerate any hostile actions within the station radius. Our mission is defensive one, not aggressive.

-Safe radius rule is void n following situations:

-Any ship is allowed to defend itself if attacked.

-If hostile act was committed earlier by approaching vessel, the safety zone can be ignored. We do provide safety only for peaceful visitors, but we will not shelter war vessels that could cause a siege on the station! Attacking of the station to get your target out will result in return fire from station defense systems.

-A hostile act of war against station itself, or Zoner population living on it, as well as any Zoner ship in area.

-Steps to take if these laws are ignored:

-Violators will be warned, in serious cases, docking rights will be taken from this vessel until reparations are paid.
- If a faction violates the laws, case will be taken before the faction leaders to discuss the matter and possibly before the Zoner council, in case it is a serious breach of the neutrality.
- If the violating ship is not part of a faction, a bounty might be placed on the villains head and docking rights will be taken away from the person for a reasonable time. Also the Zoner council will be informed about individual pilot's actions.
- If weapons are fired directly at the station or Zoners are targeted intentionally, we will strike back with whatever force is required to drive off or destroy the attacker.

This rules are specific for Freeport 1, and can vary from rules of other Freeports. All non Zoner ships beyond 6 kilometer range are of no concern for station and are not obliged to follow these rules.

Im sorry but standardized ceasafire zone should be 5k, everybody was following this distance long timme before this was writen and it is also respected distance around all freeports, even around those without any writen rules. 5k zone is just familiar to people. Many non-zoner organizations use 5k distance too and we can say "5k zone" is sirius-wide respected standard.

6k as novum can bring only mess into old and already working order and many missunderstandings generaly from foreiginers from different part of sirius where is used 5k distance standard.

Thank you, signed Shimada Kambei.

greetings sir,
as written below this 6k rule is specific to freeport 1 alone,
due to activity of many different factions, such as hessians,Corsairs,bretonia armed forces and bounty hunters.

we hope you understand this,

greets, J.archer. Captain of the "Alcmaria.Vitrix"

"to remind you - the originally written Freeport rules ( that is freeport 11 rules ) are in place to prevent mostly capital ship weaponfire - and the reason for 5000 meters was chosen to prevent any capital ship fire to hit the station - as no weaponfire can travel further than that.

so they are very practical reasons - that do apply to freeport 11. each freeport however has an independly acting station command and can adjust the rules to the very specific situation present in the system the freeport was built in.

while 5k for freeport 11 works out well ( our fighter patrols patrol an area of 20k around FP11 by the way ) - for other freeports it might need to be more - or less. ( i am sure that freeport 5 employs a smaller zone, cause 5k would take you into the neutron star anyway )

the freeport 11 guards do support the freeport 1 laws - and if the station command insists that 6k is necessary, we ll second that wish - as is the custom of everyone that calls himself a "guest" to a station.
