It seems some people tend to disrespect our authority over our own home system, Roussillon, which is, I have to say, unacceptable. Today our scanners showed a large quantity of unidentified vessels near Perpignan Freeport. When I brought the CLN Candide there to investigate, I found only one ship. Oui, system wide scanners verified that the others left. I had a little talk with the remaining pilot, which happened as the following record states:

[07.06.734 18:17:09] [C]-CLN-Candide:LaFlamme: Now, I don't want to ask it again, what were you Zoners or Junkers or whatever doing here?
[07.06.734 18:17:27] JZ-Pink.Whale:Can't say I'm familiar with the local laws... is it contraband or so? I could tell who sold it to me.
[07.06.734 18:17:38] [C]-CLN-Candide:LaFlamme: People don't just blind jump and buy whatever they find.

[07.06.734 18:21:46] Discovery Freelancer is a role-playing server. All attacks must be the result of some form of role play. Shouting "Engaging" or "Halt" is not sufficient.
[07.06.734 18:21:53] JZ-Pink.Whale:*sigh*
[07.06.734 18:22:16] [C]-CLN-Candide:LaFlamme: Move away from the industrial materials a bit.
[07.06.734 18:22:17] JZ-Pink.Whale:Well, I guess I'll just take a nap in my now empty cargohold...

[07.06.734 18:23:26] JZ-Pink.Whale:If you don't want me to dock, it's fine. I'll just stay here until I receive further orders.
[07.06.734 18:23:33][C]-CLN-Candide:LaFlamme: Aww, come on, mon ami. You are a zoner, with junker origins. Don't tell me you don't know the Taus.

[07.06.734 18:27:08] [C]-CLN-Candide:LaFlamme: So you say you don't know the Taus? We can help that.
[07.06.734 18:27:09] JZ-Pink.Whale:Though you'll stay here to guard me.

[07.06.734 18:29:51] JZ-Pink.Whale:I think I'd rather risk seeking shelter here. I assume if you'd have authority on this station, you'd already have closed

In the beggining of the conversation the vessel had it's cargo hold full of industrial material. I ordered the pilot to drop it et not wanting to risk the possibility of a hidden explosive device of unknown origin getting it's way to the station with the returning cargo, I destroyed it immediately. The crew of Perpignan later confirmed the theft, et denied that they ever seen the pilot. Fits the profile of the common junker perfectly. Upon getting fired on, the vessel managed to do a quickdock, et landed in Hangar Deux of Perpignan. Later the station crew found the empty vessel, but the pilot just got out of our hands. The Zoner Whale type vessel will be transported to Toulouse for further investigation. It is suspected that the pilot remained in the system, caution is advised.
From the info what I was able to dig up about this group from the Neural Net, they call themselves Jumping Zoners, and utilize jump drive technology. In [THIS] public channel they describe their organization fairly well, their methods of trading, and the mass jumping, which requires at least one capital class vessel. This organization did not contact The Council prior to bringing an Aquilon-class Carrier into Roussillon. Despite they claim over the Neural that they are not harmful, they showed complete disrespect towards The Council by ignoring our regulations. If this Gaspar said it right, et it was indeed a blind jump, they still have to bear the consequences for it.
Having such a fleet, what the system-wide scanners indicated, just appearing et disappearing within minutes in our home system raises great concerns regarding the general security of Roussillon. We will have to take some security measures to filter out the possibility of such occurrance happening again. Along with that I would recommend denying docking access for all vessels belonging to the Jumping Zoners from all of our bases.
