During the course of the past few days, Caporal Charron, Caporal DaMage and myself in conjuction with our allies, the IMG and CR, conducted massive patrols and system wide blockade of the Taus looking for smugglers in order to weaken the Maltese supply lines.
Caporal DaMage had managed to intercept one transport belonging to the Maltese, with a Zoner and a SCRA| cruiser in the vicinity, but in order to respect the NFZ laws, we were unable to do much in that encounter.
Some of these smugglers, under no particular flag, were re-routing their way through Gallia two of which I manage to pursue from Dauphine into Lorraine, but unfortunately lost them within the Toul Nebula; guncam malfunction is responsible for the lack of any footage of these two smugglers.
A short reconnaissance patrol into the Tau-37 also revealed heavy Maltese asset presence in the system. Reliable intel had it that our allies had been encountering these assets more frequently in recent days.
Of specific importance was our encounter with a BMM primary asset, whose haul was of concern. Given the sensitive nature, the call-sign can be relayed to the relevant intelligence wing upon requested.
I received a comm from Caporal Charron in Tau-31 while sweeping the Tau-29 system for possible sumgglers, at which point I immediately set course for Tau-31. Caporal Charron had managed to intercept this BMM train before he managed to initiate tradelane sequence. The transport was hauling 5000 units of Maltese Light Arms out of the Taus. I think their point of origin is more than obvious to the High Command. Captain of the transport was very cooperative and had jettisoned all of the contraband by the time I arrive on the scene aboard CLT La Renaissance.
Command will be happy to know that all 5000 units of Maltese Light Arms was hauled to Freeport 6 and are safe and secure awaiting transport to Roussillon for further examination.
