Untill further notice, all capital ships fielded by the Independent miners guild, save ships under the direct control of a directer, are BANNED FROM OMEGA SEVEN.
Investigations into the conduct of a number of the capital ships operating in the omega seven system are underway.
Gunboat are not currently classified by the Independent Miners guild As capital ships, and as such are excluded from this.

If you hold no military based actions, then what if they refuse your command? Do you banish them from the playing fields of IMG? Do you outcast them... Do you threaten them with destruction? But how do you control them with no military power/ Inclusion...
So captain... What if they do refuse? Don't get me mistaken for an IMG... Sheer Curiosity has crossed my mind... Please elaborate...
Hmm i am an "Independent Miner" and i use IMG ships. I currently have no capital class vessals in Omega-7 But even if had? well i am sorry your orders fall on false ears. If you have a problem with a few ships, then ban them from the system,and those who are "Independent" of your group can go about their bussiness. I for 1 will not follow these "orders" as you have no command over us "independent" miners. If any of your vessal's order,or even fire on my ships? well we will be taking this to the highest Courts in sirius. You may have heard of them? Admins & Admins Justice.
// Okay, as one of the IMG| people trying to sor this mess, apologies for the OORP but let's clarify a few things. One: Omega 7 is currently a Rheinland protectorate - it basically falls within the Zone of Influence of the Rheinland navy and they have military juristiction over that system. Now, the Rheinland Military has posted an edict that non-Rheinland capital ships (anything bigger then a gunboat) may not be present there. IMG has accepted this.
1) Official factions have the responsibility to clearly define the traits, objectives, and operational methods that identify their members. Those methods should be implemented responsibly, and with reasonable consideration towards adversaries who may be outnumbered or overpowered, but who nevertheless are entitled to similarly pursue contrary objectives. Official factions are guardians of the reputation of their NPC faction in general, and should always seek to act in ways that cause it to be respected.
I'll be damned to have the IMG become known as a capwhoring, pirating bunch of wannabe junkers. We're a lawful faction. Anyone not getting that can find their fortune elsewhere. People who want to use IMG capital ships to protect IMG claims are welcome to do so in the Taus, plenty of Outcast to shoot - and those do come with caps of their own. People who want to pirate the Rheinland miners but leave IMG alone can do so from a pirate faction - The Red Hessians fit this role best.
But in short - If you get a capital ship of the Liberty Navy you don't go stomping around in the Omega's either, and if you do Navy command will recall you. This IMG edict is no different - capital ships are part of a naval structure, the IMG guard is no exception.

I have at no time, said that the IMG does not partake in military grade actions. It is a necessity that we do so in the taus, else we face almost certain destruction at the hands of the outcasts.
The IMG respects house laws, and will enforce that it's captains do so too.
Also, I hope you've got a hardened neural net interface, else you're in for about 6 hours of pain, and the loss of all of your data. Compliments of the IMG's channel encryption security.

All my Directors and I were quite happy with this decree, it is steps in the right direction and shows IMG|'s determination for peace, just like Kruger. As long as IMG| makes a clear attempt to weed out rebels, Kruger will continue to hold only the rebels responsible.
This is a notification, Kruger will now be treating all IMG ships above the gunboat class, in Omega 7, as hostile and threats to Kruger. They will receieve one warning to leave the system, if they refuse they will be destroyed. We will be requesting Daumann assistance in this as well.
Some may see this is taking the hardline, and I would agree. But this is what happens, consequences for actions. And it just may take some load of your shoulders, I know when dealing with internal matters you are bound by political fallout and such, Kruger is free of that in this situation. Hopefully your command will support this, if there are issues Kruger will keep communication lines open.
One more thing before I go, I ran into a Cruiser today in Omega 7, the ship's identification was BattleCruiser_Cloud. I stopped him for investigation on the basis he was observed days ago with the main group of rebels terrorizing Kruger. During my investigation I asked if he was aware his class of ships have been recalled, not only did he admit to knowing they have been recalled but he openly declared his rebellion.
Then to my suprise he docks on Freistadt. Thought that was odd he still would have docking rights. Figured you would have liked to have seen this. I have confidence you will handle this with urgency.
