Confederation of Freeports: Station Laws - Zoner Freeport Network - 02-21-2012

CONFEDERATION OF FREEPORTS LAWS

Here is a list of station laws for Confederation of Freeports stations.
The channel for reporting violations of these rtules can be located here.
As we have solidified our agreements, I present the laws of the confederation (FP1, FP2, FP5, FP6, FP9, FP10, FP14, FPXV, Bethlehem Station, Corfu, Sparta):
Quote:1.The No-Fire Zone covers a 10 kilometer sphere around each confederation 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.
2. A) Combat or attempts to induce others to combat of any kind within the NFZ is prohibited as it endangers the station. (Exception Zoner security assets.)
2. B) Vessels fulfilling a bounty posted by a Zoner faction or the Confederation of Freeports 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 defence 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.
2. C) The discharge of weapons for intimidation of display purposes is prohibited to all vessels except Zoner security assets and pre-booked fireworks displays.
3.Violating a No-Fire Zone can lead to immediate prosecution and engagement, by the stations security assets and/or any Zoner pilot present.
4. Use of confederation stations to base off of for attacks against any group is prohibited.
4. A) The purchasing of base construction materials for the construction and maintenance of forward operating bases not in the territory of the station owners is prohibited, for example purchasing materials for supplying a Corsair base in New London or a Bretonian Armed Forces base in Omega-49.
5. No capital class vessel shall remain within the NFZ of any given Freeport unless assisting CoF personnel or the vessel in question is granted temporary permission by on-duty CoF personnel. Capital class vessels that are asked to leave the NFZ shall do so immediately or face the full ramifications of violating Freeport laws.
5. 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. B) This rule does not apply to Zoner capital class vessels.
6. No ship may loiter around the Freeport. The No-Fire Zone is NOT a security blanket. Land, do your business and either continue on or take up quarter for the evening. Loitering only attracts unwanted attention.
7. A ship that runs to the Freeport under fire is as guilty as the pursuer for bringing the fight to the base. The person chased will be fined or 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.
7. 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. Zoner vessels that enter combat not of their own accord shall still be extended the protection of station security assets if they run into the No Fire Zone.
8. Those deemed criminals towards confederation station and other Zoner installations as determined by confederation station administration and their associates will be denied docking.
9. Those judged to be in violation of the law are subject to penalties that include, but are not limited to: destruction of the vessel, fines, bounties, and denial of docking rights at all Zoner stations Sirius-wide.
10. No base or other installation may be built within 5k of any CoF claimed space.
10. A) Pre-Approved installations are the exception to this rule.
