XJ- line (Gallic Royal)
AP- line (Bounty Hunters/Core)

Exception may be granted to any vessel or individual who shows the correct intent and reason to be granted such.

3.3} - Outposts and Installations The Republic maintains a free standing towards enterprising prospectors and administrators who wish to construct and operate their own free installations within Maltese space and it's borders. While this tolerance is well and good to most, one stipulation stands firm and must be adhered by any individual who wishes to keep their station.
Upon either construction or proposal of the station, the to-be administrator is required to contact the Republic's logistics department and register the station. Registration is free, and not only helps to add the station to the exception list, but a defense list as well. This applies to any party, Maltese or not, and failure to adhere to this request will result in a transmission demanding registration with swift removal of the installation as penalty for non-compliance.
