I will hazard a guess that this has been spawned from the ship "Queen.Amidala" that we have recently been made aware of. I had retired at the time so was not involved, but I believe the original Privateers gathered themselves years ago to assist in the war effort. Piracy in Bretonian space or against those already on their way to supply our nation is against our laws. Attached is the response from our Home Office:

If is with great alarm that the Bretonian government views your message - the aforementioned pirate vessel is operating without the authority and sanction of the Bretonian crown. We cannot accept liability for his actions, but assure you - they will not go unpunished.
The assault and/or destruction of civilian vessels within Bretonian sovereign space is an affront to our laws and the people of the realm. Any vessel perpetrating such wanton destruction is nothing more than a criminal and will be treated appropriately.
This "Privateer", whatever his true allegiance, shall be dealt with. If you are entering Bretonian space and an officer is available, we can provide additional escort to ensure you arrive safely.

Guten Tag again Herr Page,
It seems that we have received the confirmation from one of our freight captains; that his individual known as "Queen.Amidala" is still operating in Bretonian space. We are worried about this situation, and hope the BPA can deal with him soon.
