A trader named, BigHaul, was present flying just past Planet Houston in Texas, and I happened to Scan him and asked him to stop immediately.
Then he decided to run from me, and as the scan revealed he had Slaves on board, that is the first law he broke, and the second is when he decided to run. Whilst running he also cut the end of every lane that he passed through, but I persisted in my pursuit. He proceeded through Virginia and also cut the lanes, then decided to enter Omicron NU, and by this time I was not about to let this fellow escape.
Once in Omicron NU I decided to make it clear that he would not be free from prosecution or other possible consequences, so after persistance, he decided to stop. Once stopped I immediately called for some Pegasus vessels to help with the Slaves. As per my logs the full operation is available there, and it has proved that the Pegasus vessels have become more and more vital to our operations throughout Liberty
LAWS BROKEN by the Trader..
1.1 Contraband commodities
It is illegal to have any amount of these commodities:
- Slaves
1.3 Improper passenger conditions
Only Freighters, Armored "Pelican" Transport, Liners and Yachts may transport various classifications of passengers, excluding Prisoners.
As in helping the Hacker to track my whereabouts
-Blackmarket Gallic Transport
4.1 Restricted equipment
Possessing identification, ship, equipment or weaponry from known hostiles is restricted. List of approved special licenses has registered exceptions granted via Special Licenses Center.
Possession of Black Market technology or equipment of any sorts is restricted.
Photo evidence supplied....
5. Obstructing justice
It is illegal to prevent, evade or delay the administration of justice. Examples are:
- Fleeing from an officer when ordered to stop via verbal command or cruise disruptor.
So far I think my longest list of Law's broken so far, so this was a very important catch, and also reflected the need for PEGASUS operational support.
