In this report I would like to notify you about a recent incident happened to our trade vessel, the CLT Valse d'Amelie. To increase our funds by commerce, I took a trade route I used to do before supplying duties. This route leads throught Liberty. Before being able to leave California system to Cortez, our vessel was stopped by two fighters of Rheinlander origin. The following dialogue happened:

We weren't alone in this situation, I spotted a trader just leaving before us, who was questioned by said Rheinlanders as well. Their unfriendly approach and acting like being the local authorities made me worry. I know nothing of smuggling routes or contracts in Rheinland and I highly disagree with such accusations. I haven't been trading in Rheinland yet, but after this I may not want to either.
On the other hand, I'm not much into politics or diplomacy, but as far as I know, Rheinland is in war with Liberty, and their presence on the far end of Liberty space is also a good reason for me to worry about the general security in the systems of Liberty. I'd like to be sure my crew is safe out there.
