Derek O'Connell;

First of all, sorry for the delay. Your transmission seemed to have slipped in under the radar, to coin an old turn of phrase. Luckily, sifting through the backlog has it's uses.

Thankyou for providing us with that image. Even if the pilot of the ship did nothing wrong, that ship is not legal within our borders at this time. Given that he is also clearly a member of Republican Shipping's security division, it looks very much like a cargo interdictor of some kind. We've been getting more and more of those lately, using that ship as their first choice.

As such, I will be issuing the necessary paperwork to have him permanently removed from the Republic. He shouldn't even be here anyway, given the state of war between their house and ours.
