Establishing Communication...
ID: XO Bob Dylan, LN
You might want to make your message a little bit more precise as you've just messaged half of the Liberty Navy. If it's the [LN] Primary Fleet High Command you're trying to reach, I suggest you change your header so they notice your transmission.

Greetings.
It's hard to respond to a request for advice without knowing the subject or the circumstances involved. Additionally, having no prior contact with you or your group, I'm not certain what makes you think that the Liberty Navy Primary Command can assist you. If you wish our advice, you'll need to explain who you are, what your circumstances are, and why you think we can help.
Im currently part of a group of Zoner's based in the Omicrons.
I need to know; who to approach regarding getting escorted through Liberty Space into and out of Pennsylvania?
Also if there are any tax's i am required to pay for this service and permission?
There is also another matter regarding trade, which i would also like to enquire about...who would i need to speak to regarding this subject?
And about a possible Freeport in Quebec or New Hampshire, i was flying through those systems and Quebec ill be honest, me and the wife thought it was beautiful.
Though for an income we looked at New Hampshire as a possible location for extracting water.

Greetings.
There is no tax for the transport of goods into or out of the Pennsylvania system. As for an escort, any tagged Liberty Force vessel can assist you should the need arise. With that out of the way, I find two possible issues we may encounter that I'd like to make myself clear on now.
Laws of Liberty: Section Three Article IV Wrote:No warships except those in service within the ranks of the Liberty forces are permitted within the house of Liberty. Warships are classed as any ship of destroyer, cruiser, or larger. This includes the Corvo Cruiser, a ship famous for its research and reconnaissance capabilities.
Your capital class vessels are not and will not be welcome in Liberty space. If found within Liberty space they will be told to turn around and depart. Failure to comply will result in the application of force to remove them. We consider the Pennsylvania system to be a part of Liberty space.
Laws of Liberty: Section Four Article III Wrote:For the purposes of this section, the borders of Liberty space are defined as the entrances to the Bering and Hudson from Texas, and Bremen from the New Hampshire system. Members of the Liberty Forces are authorised to enforce this embargo on both sides the border.
Any vessel in violation of this embargo, and which resists arrest by the forces of Liberty, will be terminated. Vessels which evade capture or destruction will have their docking rights in Liberty space revoked.
While I've never been to the Omicrons myself, my stellar map shows that they typically lie to the Sirius "East" of Liberty. This allows for two direct paths into Liberty, one through Kusari, and the other through Rheinland. Regardless of your intentions on the matter, we are at war with Rheinland, and any vessel carrying trade across our borders with them of any sort not permitted by our laws will be dealt with accordingly. This may limit your options on the matter to some degree, and should be considered before you commit to any trade runs.
As for the matter of a Freeport, the war makes things difficult out there. Additionally, many of the vessels that you as a Zoner use for your trade have no proper mooring points in House space, making upkeep difficult if not impossible. I would advise that you establish your reputation within the Republic further before we give consideration to granting you license to build a modular facility in those regions.
You should read the Laws of Liberty, especially the sections I've noted above, to help address whether or not your organization can find it worthwhile to operate within our space. I hope that this fully addresses your request for advice.

Kallisti,
Sorry for a late reply, very busy at the moment.
Currently my Capital ship the Falcon is in Space Dock under-going a re-fit for the next few days. So myself and members of my crew along with afew family members will be boarding a ship and heading to Bethlehem Station in Pennsylvania to visit friends and relatives.
I hope we could hopefully get some sort of escort, as our ship will not have any defences other than countermeasure's for missiles.
Regards
Captain Tri Udent

Greetings, Tri Udent.
I've received your request, however the lack of specific detail makes it difficult to determine if there's merit to it. I'll need answers to the following before I can determine what my response on the matter is.
What class vessel do you intend to use?
What specific threat are you expecting that you require Liberty Navy assets to escort your vessel into and out of Liberty over?
< Zoner Alliance Communications Station Active....Sending Message... >
Kallisti Alan Polstari,
Well as you know our Colony ships have a large crew capacity, so we will be using a Zoner Borderworld Transport.
We just wish to avoid any unpleasant ships that might try to *ahem* cause trouble.
As for arrival into Liberty space im still awaiting a response from your alternate in Rheinland about traversing through Rheinland House Space and also a possible escort. Though i do wish to make the trip tommorrow at about 15:00 SMT from Freeport-Sigma and arrive in Texas at about 15:45 - 16:00 SMT from Bering.
Then we will be departing after several hours in Bethlehem Station and heading back the same way.
Regards
Captain Tri Udent
