Preamble

The Kingdom of Bretonia is a constitutional parliamentary monarchy under the reign of Her Majesty Carina I, Queen of Bretonia, Empress of Tau, Sovereign of the systems of Edinburgh, Exeter, Inverness and Nottingham, Protector of the Systems of Cortez and Magellan. The Kingdom consists of two main parts: Bretonia Proper and Royal Protectorates.

Bretonia Proper includes the systems of New London, Cambridge, Dublin, Leeds, Manchester, and Newcastle. This Charter applies here. Royal Protectorates are not governed by the Bretonian Government, but belong personally to the monarch. These are the systems of Magellan and Cortez, both of which are shared with the Republic of Liberty, Edinburgh, Inverness, Nottingham (Omega-3), Exeter (Omega-48), Tau-23 and Tau-31. This Charter does not apply here, but Bretonian law enforcement agencies have the right to patrol these systems for the purpose of defence from Hostile Entities.

Fines, bounties, detention, refusal of docking rights, or lethal force may be levied against persons or organisations found to have committed an offence. The sum of any potential fines, the length of detention, or the degree of force utilised will depend entirely on the severity of the situation in question.

"On the spot" fines for offences may be no greater than £100,000 per contravention, unless specific alternate values are stated for the offence. Law enforcement agencies so empowered by the Bretonian Government to make such decisions may exceed these limits through the service of a written penalty notification on the Neural Net.

Liberty Corporations, Kusari Corporations and Rheinland Corporations are welcomed to engage in commerce inside the Kingdom's borders, and encouraged to invest in Bretonian industry and opportunities.

1.3 - Hostile Entities

Bretonian, Kusari, Liberty, and Rheinland criminal organisations; Coalition, Corsairs, Hogosha, Outcasts, Zoner Militants, Pirates, and The Technocracy.

Owing to their numerous crimes against Humanity and repeated refusals to enter good-faith negotiations with the House of Bretonia to secure justice, the Kingdom considers all Gallic Union or Gallic-affiliated ships, stations and personnel to be war criminals and terrorists. Bretonia shall forever remember Leeds.

Classified directive for Law Enforcement Agencies

---

4 - Base Registration and Zoning Regulations

4.1 - Enforcement of Base Regulations

All bases must be registered before construction commences. Any unregistered base will be deconstructed as soon as possible, following a declaration of intent through the public channels.

If, during these operations, the base administrators are present or otherwise contact us, they will be given one chance to register and comply with Bretonia's demands. The base may be placed under siege to ensure compliance.

Bretonia does not accept liability for loss of life or property due to the construction of an illegal installation. Best effort shall be made to recover the crew of any station outfitted with escape pods - Station Commanders that fail to fit life pods to their stations will also be charged with gross negligence and manslaughter. Crews who surrender themselves to the Crown's justice will be held by the BPA, prior to a sentence being passed.

Installations operated by Hostile Entities will be given no quarter and destroyed on sight.

Registered bases may be subject to consequences, up to and including deconstruction after a declaration of intent, for breaching any of the below or above conditions.

---

4.2 - Conditions for Base Registration

Permission for base construction is to be granted at the discretion of the Bretonian Government, and is considered on a case-by-case basis. For a base to be registered, the following conditions must be met. Failure to provide any of the points listed below will result in the immediate non-reimbursable voiding of the registration process.

• The Owner must not belong to an entity considered Hostile or Unfriendly to the Kingdom of Bretonia (see: Article 1 - Hostile Entities);
  
  
• The location and name of the base must be explicitly detailed (can be broadcast privately for the sake of confidentiality);
  
  
• The personal name and employer / affiliation of the base administrator or point of contact;
  
  
• The base's intended purpose and duties must be explained;
  
  
• Entities to be permitted docking rights must be listed;
  
  
• A £500,000 credit deposit must be filed (see Base Registration document for details)

---

4.3 - Development Zones for Base Registration

A Registration Fee is paid only once. Bases already permitted at the time of these Zoning Regulations coming into effect will not be required to pay further Registration Fees. Bases re-registering due to a change of ownership are not required to pay another Registration Fee.

The cost of registering a new installation varies, depending on the cartographic region the structure is located in.

An additional fine up to the Registration Fee will be imposed for the first registration of pre-existing stations. Permission must always be sought prior to construction being initiated.

Pricing* is as follows:

• Zone 1: Cambridge, New London - 5,000,000 credits;
  
• Zone 2: Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle - 3,000,000 credits;
  
• Zone 3: Systems directly bordering Bretonia Proper - 8,000,000 credits;**
  
• Additional fees***: +2 Million Credits per existing Licensed Installation within the system.
  i.e. New London license: 5 Million Credits; Current number of bases: 10, multiplied by 2 per base; total cost: 5 + 20 = 25 Million Credits

* Bases built for purpose of rebuilding/reconstruction of destroyed bases are to be exempt from base Registration Fees. Permission to build is still required.

** It is only mandatory to register installations located within Bretonia Proper, however non-Bretonian Military, Police, Intelligence or Corporate stations located beyond Bretonia Proper will not receive aid in the event of attack by hostile entities.

Such installations may voluntarily register to obtain the Kingdom's protection. Should such installations seek the assistance of the Kingdom after a siege has been initiated, the cost of voluntary registration will be doubled due to the extraordinary circumstances.

*** Constructing a base in a system without an already established modular installation will allow claiming of the pioneering bonus; the pioneering bonus waives additional fees and, should the base be constructed with the help of existing corporate groups (Bretonia Mining & Fabrication; Galway Frontiers; Bowex) will waive off 75% off the zoning costs.

---

4.4 - Base Operational Requirements

The following Regulations are expected to be consistently and permanently observed by all Station Owners. Failure to comply with these Regulations may result in the structure's siege and destruction. Regulations are as follows:

• No Hostile Entities (see: 1 - Definition of Entities) may be permitted to land on the station. Authorities may request evidence of docking permission logs at any time to confirm this.
  
  
• All stations must have docking permission at all times for Bretonian Law Enforcement Agencies: this includes the BAF|, [SIS] and BPA);
  
  
• All bases must remain above a threshold of 85% of total HP to remain in a legal state. Should a base fall below this threshold for over one week, the base may be de-registered and removed for improper safety regulations;
  
  
• All Bases must be fitted with sufficient evacuation equipment to prevent the loss of life of residents and crew, should the Base become compromised via circumstances artificial or natural.

---

4.5 - Base Modification and Ownership Transfers

Station Owners are free to make whatever internal station modifications they see fit, including the construction of Storage Berths, Refineries and Factories.

Permission must be sought from the Bretonian Government or the BAF Admiralty Board before the placement of Weapon Platforms, due to the highly dangerous nature of the structures. Once permission has been granted, the Owners of the Structure may only place up to four (4) Platforms unless given special permission.

In the event that a station is sold or otherwise changes owners or affiliation, the structure must be re-registered to ensure the new operators are fit and proper persons and compliant with Bretonian law. This re-registration does not require the payment of a Registration Fee. Failure to notify the Bretonian government of such a transfer will result in the base being deregistered.

Our forces combined, no-one shall stand before us. Our enemies shall be burnt and cast to the wind, our troops marching forward over their mangled corpses. True we stand alone, with wolves circling, but our isolation lends us our strength, for we are one and they are divided.
The days of Darkness are no longer, for we are the Corsairs and we are fear incarnate! Viva los Corsairs, the Empire shall rise!
The blood of the Hispania runs in our veins. The blood of our enemies shall wet our hands.

SECTION 2: CRIMINAL CODE

---

The Criminal Code of Coalition Interstellar Law defines criminal activities, and outlines punishments for offenses committed in Coalition space. Punishment will be dispensed by enforcers of Coalition Law. Any individual witnessed engaging in the activities outlined below is considered a suspect by the enforcers of the law.

As martial law is currently in effect, only crimes committed in the New Moscow (Omega-52) system are subject to punishment in accordance with the Criminal Code.

Section Two - Laws

The following are laws which apply to Freeport Network Zoner installations:

1. The No-Fire Zone (NFZ) covers a 10 kilometer sphere around each Freeport Network station.

2. The No-Fire-Zone is an area in which no offensive actions against any vessel is allowed. This includes attempts at piracy/taxation, the use of weapons (Guns, missiles, mines, cruise disruptors), intentional ramming and the malicious redirection of weapons fire. Acts of piracy within the No-Fire-Zone are also prohibited. (Exception Zoner security assets.)

A) Combat or attempts to induce others to combat of any kind within the NFZ is prohibited as it endangers the station.

B) Vessels fulfilling a bounty posted by a Zoner faction or the Freeport Network are classed as Zoner Security assets (With regards to law 2) for the duration of their combat with the bountied party. Engaging of vessels other than the bountied party, other than in self defense or in direct pursuit of the bountied party will result in the immediate revocation of this privilege for the duration of combat and the vessel will be treated as a normal vessel subject to all penalties associated with breaking the No-Fore-Zone.

3. Use of Freeport Network stations to base off of for attacks against any group is prohibited.

4. No non-zoner capital class vessel shall remain within the NFZ of any given Freeport unless assisting ZFN approved vessel or the vessel in question is granted temporary permission by on-duty faction approved vessel. Capital class vessels that are asked to leave the NFZ shall do so immediately or face the full ramifications of violating Freeport laws.

A) Capital class vessels include Destroyer, Cruiser, Battlecruiser, Carrier, Battleship and Dreadnought class vessels. Not included in this definition are Gunboat and Gunship class vessels and below.

5. A ship that runs to the Freeport under fire and docks is as guilty as the pursuer for bringing the fight to the base. The person chased will be fined or in extreme circumstances denied docking rights based on the severity of the offence and the vessels used in the altercation as well as the pursuer. Pursuing a ship into the NFZ for the purpose of combat or bounty collection is prohibited, unless otherwise noted below.

A) Any Zoner vessel that initiates hostilities and then attempts to run to the NFZ for cover shall be held in contempt and will be treated as any other pilot.

B) Zoner vessels that enter combat not of their own accord shall not bring said conflict towards a Zoner station, and if attempts are made to enter the NFZ while in combat will not be exempt.

6. Those deemed criminals or hostile towards Zoner installations as determined by Freeport Network station administration and their associates will be denied docking.

7. No base or other installation may be built within 15k of any claimed space without expressed approval from members of the a controlling entity. For example, OSI around one of its Freeports or a base constructed in Omicron Theta without group permission from OSI, MFE and Phoenix.

A) Pre-approved installations are the exception to this rule

8. Those judged to be in violation of the law are subject to penalties that include, but are not limited to: fines, bounties, and in extreme cases destruction of the vessel and denial of docking rights at all Zoner stations Sirius-wide.

The following are laws which apply to Omega 48 and Omicron Theta:

9. Combat between gunship and smaller vessels is permitted system wide, but are prohibited within 10K of any Zoner installation (This includes planet Gran Canaria).

10. The presence, passage, and combat of cruiser class vessels is permitted in Omega-48 and Omicron Theta, however, combat between these entities is prohibited within 20k of any installation except in self defense. Any vessel initiating combat with such vessels within 20k of any permanent or semi permanent installation is grounds for a fine or ban under Freeport Network Law.

11. The presence, and passage of Battleship, and Carrier class vessels is permitted in Omega-48 and Omicron Theta, however combat involving such vessels is prohibited except in self defense. Any vessel initiating combat with such vessels liable for a fine or ban under Zoner law.

12. Any group or vessel found to be in combat with a Zoner vessel within Omega 48 and Omicron Theta will be required to make an official communication to the Freeport Network explaining the circumstances. Should they fail to respond or fail to have a compelling reason the commanding officers or superior organisation of said group will be contacted, and will be liable for a fine or ban under Freeport Network Law.
