Very dear pilots,
Very dear citizens of all houses and border worlds
Very dear inhabitants of remote border worlds,
The Galactic Secure Trade Company is a former Zoner Transport and Trading Company, providing all systems in Sirius and in the border worlds with all kind of commodities.
Unfortunately, GST has been confronted to following Liberty laws:
Contraband
Dealing of Arms to Pirates, terrorists and Rheinland; Defined as dealing of arms to hostile entities. Most commonly applied to those who deliver Light Arms or Military Vehicles to Liberty Rogue, Lane Hacker, Xenos and Rheinland Government bases. Penalty for less than 2500 tons is 2,000,000. Penalty for more than 2500 tons is 4,000,000 credits.
Dealing of Arms to Class 0 Terrorist Groups; Defined as dealing of arms to groups classified as Class 0 Terrorist groups by the Liberty Security Force. Most commonly applied to those who deliver Light Arms or Military Vehicles to Order, Hellfire Legion or Phantom bases. Penalty is death.
Unlicensed Possession or Dealing of contraband; Defined as the unlicensed possession or dealing of illegal goods. Penalty for dealing of less than 2500 tons is 2,000,000 credits, penalty for dealing of more than 2500 tons is 4,000,000 credits.
NOTE: Blood Diamonds are not considered as contraband in Liberty

Most commonly applied to those who possess or trade Nomad Brains without a special Cambridge or Willard Research Institute license. Penalty for unlicensed possession or trading is 10,000 credits per unit. Anything in a Nomad vessel will be shot.
Violation of the Texan Blockade; Defined as attempting to pass through the blockade to deliver illegal goods from or to Rheinland.The violator has the following choices:
-Drop the illegal goods to travel further
-Turn back in order to keep the goods.
Failure to comply will result in death
GST didn't obey these laws in the past and won't obey these laws in the future. As a consequence, and in order to maintain good relations with our zoner brothers and sisters, we decided to switch to half clandestinity and take the Smuggler ID.
We were forced yesterday into a fight against Liberty Police Inc. - which is, very few people know this, a totally PRIVATE company - and managed to escape a whole squadron and the LNS-San.Francisco. As a consequence, we are now total ennemies with LPI.
Wewant all ennemies of LPI to get full awareness of this fact that GST is now "at war" with LPI. However, the Security leaders of our company have a very modern conception of this "war". Considering the power of our ennemies, and our will to maintain relatively neutral relations with other Liberty legal factions, nothing will happen directly.
If you want to have more informations, to contact us or even to work hand in hand with GST, please take a look at our GST Neuronet: http://gstrade.forumactif.net
Have a safe flight.
Be sure GST will continue to provide you with all necessary (and luxury) commodities.
Yours very sincerely,
GST Chief Executive Officer John Burton

"All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him."
You know, we ran your photo thru the computer here again on Planet Manhattan, and all we got a hit on was a Mr. Renfeld, who escaped from the Manhattan insane asylum. He had a fetish for wearing ladies underwear and playing in feces. I can see the resemblance.
I urge the others listed here to also deny said fools docking privileges. They will bring you nothing but pain and death.
Why you ask?
Because when I catch up with you sir, I shall enjoy the look on your face as I introduce you to those in Huntsville or the Sugarland who would think that "You talk really funny"...
