INCOMING TRANSMISSION
MIKE.HAGEN, LN-INTERCEPTOR-23

Earlier this evening, our patrol group encountered a Freelancer by the name of Rodrigo.Navarro flying a Salvager full of Cardamine. He was intercepted near Planet Los Angeles and instructed to drop his cargo. He refused to comply with the order, and then made a break for the planetary docking rings. Myself and another ship both instructed the planet to deny docking, but the pilot managed to get in before the protocols could be implemented.

I would suggest setting the reputation for this ship to hostile so that this is not a problem in the future.

I am CC'ing the Junker Congress since it is one of their ships. As I understand it, only Junkers are authorized to fly these vessels, so it would appear to be stolen.

addendum: subsequently he was also found in Pennsylvania with a cargo hold full of slaves
