Colonial Remnant ID

Pilot carrying this ID is a member of the Colonial Remnant, who :
■Can trade and escort traders ■Can hunt pirates and terrorists within Bretonia, the Tau and Omega systems, or within systems where IMG has a base, or in self-defense, or to protect another trader.
■Can demand contraband and allied pilots only within the Omegas and Taus, and destroy ships if they refuse to comply
■Cannot ally with any unlawfuls except the Corsairs
■Cannot participate in any unlawful actions except against BMM in Omegas and Taus only or in persuit of current war declerations as outlined in ongoing roleplay.
■Cannot fulfill bounty contracts
■Cannot use any ships except IMG ships
Allowed ships: Fighters, Freighters, Transports, Prison Liner, Gunboats, Cruisers, Battleships
Flying into Kusari to clear out the unlawfuls with no trasport to escort is called hunting for pirates and terrorists. Where in New Tokyo is there an IMG base? It's a thinly veiled masquerade to think that combat ships of any class moving 2-3 systems ahead to clear out pirates is in fact an escorting mission if there aren't even any of your transports about. It's called pirate/terrorist hunting, no sugar coating is gonna deflect that, no Ame-Chan finger pointing is gonna dodge that particular detail. A slip up was long in the process before Ame-Chan's odd RP came into play.
Finally, a DECENT argument. Anyway...
I'd say it's merely proactive defense. We were about to send our ships through, so to protect them, we cleared everything out first. Hunting for pirates and terrorists is when you do it just to hunt them. We were doing it to clear ahead for our convoy, which was about to go through. It makes perfect military and economic sense.
