To all it may concern,
With the dissolution of the Confederation of Freeports, there has been a vacuum in the borderworlds of Sirius. Freeports are no longer united under a single collective, and the laws that once governed the stations as a whole have slowly fallen away, untended and unenforced.
Such a reality does not work for me. While I can not and will not speak for the rest of the freeports, I will speak for my own. From this moment onward, the following laws of Freeport 10 are in effect.
