Comm ID: Sous Lieutenant Christian d'Aubigne To: Gallic Royal Navy Transmission Centre Subject: Activity Report From: Battleship Carcassonne, Living Quarters 2-09C
Bonjour camarade,
This begins Activity Report 4, which is also speaking for Margrave Blaise Mersenne in command of the RNS-Slyvana.
After a summons by Margrave Mersenne, we proceeded to investigate reports of Sirian traffic in Royal Space. After a gradual sweep of the area we found sensor traces of a Temporary Autonomous Zoner Affiliate. Unfortunately the traces were obscured to the asteroid fields surrounding the system, so it became a next to impossible task to apprehend the intruder. The Affliate came up on our scopes as a [TAZ]Rainus.Uysison.
After our investigations, the Margrave and myself made our way through the the Royal systems to complete a patrol pattern before returning. The Slyvana made her way north, whilst I went south to see if I could reaquire the TAZ trace heading out of Royal Space. The Sylvana detected a Sirian IDed vessel sporting an "Interspace Commerce" affiliation. After a quick communique exchange I was able to head the ship off before it was able to leave Royal Space near Gap Station. At closer inspection the vessel was registered under the name of Anugi Takagi. Most likely Kusarian in origin. After a quick command to halt and the following inspection we found the ship to be full of Cyrotubes, which we all know to be regulated goods. The fact that a Sirian was hauling them with the intent to spread throughout Sirian space didnt help our willingness to be merciful. The Sirian pleaded that he had no idea about this and tried to make us believe that he was a friend of Gallia. A likely story of cource but nevertheless we showed mercy and escorted the Trader out of Royal Space with a stern warning that if it was found in our space again, then we would most certainly shoot first and ask questions later.
