To: The Owner(s) of Ilfracombe Base

[Bretonia Police Authority]

To whom it may concern,

It has come to our notice that your Base is not in compliance with Bretonian Law as defined in Bretonian Charter of Interstellar Law, Chapter 5 - Base Construction and Zoning, Sub-Section 5.4 - Base Operational Regulations which states:

The following regulations are expected to be consistently and permanently observed by all station owners, in regards to their installations. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in the structure'€™s siege and destruction.

Regulations are as follows:
1) Bases must be no closer than 10K from any existing base or jumpgate, unless special permission is granted by the War Cabinet.
2) No Hostile entities (see: 1.5 - Definition of Entities) may be permitted to land on the station. Authorities may request evidence of docking permission logs at any time to confirm this. Unfriendly Entities will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
3) No station may leave their docking rights unrestricted - "defencemode 2"€ - due to potential abuse by unlawful parties.
4) All stations must have docking permission at all times for Bretonian law enforcement agencies: this includes the BAF|, BIS| and BPA).
5) All bases must be fitted with sufficient evacuation equipment to prevent the loss of life of residents and crew, should the base become compromised via circumstances artificial or natural.

The highlighted Regulation is the one that we deem you not to be adhering to.

This might be an oversight on your behalf or you may be suffering malfunctions. We are giving you seven (7) days to comply to the Law. If this is not feasible, within this time frame, please contact this Office and explain the reasons.

If you don't comply or respond within the time specified we will deem you to be in contempt of Bretonian Law and we will seek further action against you.

Greetings honourable leaders of the Bretonian Police!

I regret to hear that Ilfracombe Base did not open its gates to the authorities. When building the base low cost was of high priority. Lot of equipment were made out of recycled parts, used components, and devices found in the scrap field still functional. The nearby Junkers were of great help when we needed cheap and working instruments fast. However seasonal maintenance is essential so that everything remains functional.
Due to the base's low population and traffic, docking is controlled by an automated system which ceased to function recently which caused that noone could access the base unless they had the access code to the airlock's manual opening mechanisms.

As soon as we found out there was a problem all of our engineers and programmers (12) started to solve the problem. After we obtained repair parts for the docking system and 3 days and nights of hard work it's done!

NOW ALL AUTHORITY VESSELS SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE BASE

A set of spare parts were also obtained so that no diplomatic affairs arise ever again due to simple technical problems. I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for tolerating our mistake.

Yours sincerely
Captain Kósa
