To: The Rheinland Admiralty CC: [RFP] -- Subject: A Complaint to File.

Good day.

I would like to file a formal complaint against one of your command crews. During a routine journey for me, hauling Iridium for the Zoners to there operations here in Liberty, I was accosted by the vessel RNC-Diedriches while passing through the Hamburg System. The incident in question took place right outside Planet Hamburg. The Officers in question identified themselves as Gregor Schiedk and Von Hu'tmald. In addition to my cargo of Iridium I had with me an assortment of items I collect for sentimental purposes. I have some pieces of scrap that I have welded and hammered into art, some Blue Jillies that keep my ship from smelling like the cargo that I haul, and some Blue Diamonds I picked up at a small shop in Bretonia. These officers, demanded I hand over the diamonds for no legal reason, just so that I could pass on to my destination. It was quite literally highway robbery. I, of course, relinquished the diamonds to these men, I was not in a position to refuse. Some would stand off against a million tons of Rheinland military might, I am not one of them.

In addition, they threatened that I should not be seen with my particular vessel. Yes, it is a Z-8550 "Pitbull," but I have been traveling through Rheinland space for some time now, in front of officers of the Rheinland Military, the Federal Polizei, and the Buro der Marineintelligenz. Do I get questioned about it? Yes. But I haven't never been threatened as such before.

All that being said, I doubt I'll see my diamonds again. But I would like to know that this type of behavior is not acceptable in the Rheinland Military.

I hope this matter will be dealt with swiftly and professionally.
