1 - Overview

The Kingdom of Bretonia currently regulates the movement of certain commodities in order to protect the welfare and prosperity of the Bretonian people.

Some of these commodities are deemed contraband, the transmission of which will carry the full penalty of law.

Others are restricted, meaning exemptions to restrictions may be in effect for prescribed organisations. Qualifying parties may also apply for licenses to transport restricted commodities as set out below.

Carrying a restricted commodity without an exemption or licence is an offence. Bretonian law enforcement agencies are exempt from licensing requirements by default.

2 - Eligibility and Conditions

• Licenses can be awarded on an individual or corporate / group basis. License-holders must be fit and proper persons, meaning the license may be voided by any bearer infringing the Bretonian Charter of Interstellar Law or otherwise acting improperly.
  
  
• Applicants must provide their name and the name of the group they represent (if applicable), and a description of their purpose for obtaining the license.
  
  
• Applicants must evidence that they are in good standing (green reputation) with Bretonia's law enforcement authorities such as the BAF and BPA.
  
  
• Applicants must evidence that they are hostile (red reputation) to Bretonia's domestic enemies such as the Coalition, Corsairs, Gaians, Mollys, Outcasts and Pirates.
  
  
• Awarded licences are temporary and last for 6 months from the point of registration being accepted.
  
  
• All licencing fees must be sent to QCG|HMS-Dauntless.

3.1 - Exotic Lifeforms Licence

• Covers: Gaian Wildlife.
  
• Individual Licence: £100,000
  
• Corporate Licence: £300,000

Due to the current sensitivity regarding access to Planet Gaia, and concerns about the welfare of creatures removed from that ecosystem, the Exotic Lifeforms Licence was created to provide a regulatory framework for their responsible transportation, study and care.

Apply for a license.

• Individual Licence: £50,000
  
• Corporate Licence: £150,000

The Gallic Embargo renders it an offence to conduct trade with entities associated with the Gallic Union, or procure goods in a manner that will profit the Gallic Union. The Appropriation Licence was created as a certification scheme to allow the transport of seized Gallic goods, or those obtained from sources that would not economically benefit Gallia itself.

Apply for a license.

• Individual Licence: £100,000

Ongoing pioneering efforts in the Edge Nebula and other uncharted territories have resulted in the discovery of ancient alien ruins and potentially dangerous resources. The Special Xenoarchaeology License governs the safe transport, storage and study of these materials in Bretonian space.

Apply for a license.

Issued Special Xenoarchaeology Licenses

• Core and affiliates - permanent.

My company, Azure Line Shipping, is interested in a military material license, especially since until recently we took pride in our deliveries of Military Vehicles to Planet Leeds. In fact, we have the money ready right now.

However, we're engaged in a good bit of business with the Junkers. We aren't Junkers, we're still an independent cargo contractor, but we are on very good terms with them - and as a result, on spectacularly bad terms with Kusari.

Do we qualify? If you have concerns about our deliveries, I'll gladly go over the details in a secured channel, but the only people getting these weapons from us up to this point are Bretonians or... neutral parties with many common enemies.

Link terminated. Closing...

Dear Lord Anthony Grenville,

I'd like to acquire a license for the ALG Waste Disposal company to transport dangerous and hazardous materials. We never transport Light Weapons, Black Market Munitions or Military Vehicles, because we're a civilian company. Our transport ships only transport Plutonium and Nuclear Devices in order to support the nuclear disarmament of Sirius. All of those materials will be smelted down or reprocessed for civilian purposes, like power plants or ship engines.

We need to know the recipient of the 10 million licensing fee, for a fluent payment process.

Lord Anthony Grenville,
While a little upset at your decision to refuse licence to any Junkers, Im sure you had to think long and hard about it so Ill not press the matter.

Although I do have a question, is it just the aformentioned commodities that are covered by this new Licencing? Or are there some others that you have not divulged? Compleate listing as to what is covered by the War Materials Licence and what is still restricted cargo under Royal Charter #506 P1-4 regardless of Licences.

Subject: Military Material Liscence for AP Manufacturing
Priority: Top

Message reads:

Good day Bretonian friends,

AP Manufacturing needs another liscence to continue our business with your excellent engineers. As you may remember, AP Manufacturing builds and supplies the ships and bases used by the Bounty Hunters Guild and this includes the Cores war effort. Due to the nature of the war ships we build we are required to move around an abundance of Military Materials. I have the 10 mil necessary to cover the liscence for all of AP Manufacturing but I am unsure of who to give the money to. I am currently docked on Planet New London with a full load right now and waiting for your answer.

Sincerely,
Capt. Garret Goderich
AP Manufacturing Board Member

Mr. Black,

If you are not Junkers, then we have no problems. The problem we do have with Junkers, though, is that we are unable to distinguish whether or not the goods are being put to legal or illegal use. Reports on individual Junkers working with the Mollys and Gaian unfortunately means that legitimate business with them involving materials made for use in war cannot be undertaken, because the few spoil it for the many.

Mr. Shmied and Mr. Goderich,

My apologies for not making it clear in my initial transmission, however, the licensing fee can be sent to the QCG|Treasury to be distributed to the appropriate organizations. Upon sending the money, please do report back here with a timestamp of your transaction.

Thank you for your swift cooperation in this matter,
~Home Secretary Lord Anthony Grenville

Well, then, we won't have any issues. We handle all of our military goods personally, we don't send them to a third party for distribution.

... Dad's right, I have been in business too long.

Anyway, here is a log of the credit transaction, intended to cover all Azure Line Shipping vessels. Including our fighters, we do small deliveries in them sometimes.

Our ships are registered as a group of freelancers, and we fly mostly freighters. We have two large transports currently active, the Firefly-class Silverwind and my Borderworlds Series ST, the Cerulean. We also use quite a few freighters, a few escort and courier fighters, and I have a Conference-class gunship under construction for special orders.

We've bought a few ships from the Junkers - Collector fighters, mostly, though we have a few CSVs and Combat Service Freighters - as well as our fighter-class weapons. If you need any more information, I'll gladly provide it.

End of transmission.

Mal to Tony:

Oh, very well! You're already dipping in Goddess' purse for passengers and Nomads, we might as well sign up for Military Goods too.

We'll have none of those birdies or organs, tho. The only living things the TAZ carry are our own premiere Grade AA Scrubbies. They're hard enough to clean up after.

Expect your remittance from the [TAZ]Flagheap within the hour, to cover an MML for all TAZ vessels.

Sir, I must say that you will be refunded the fee immediately, as the closing of Passenger Licensing entitles you to one of these licenses without any fees rendered.
