Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

I contact you wiz regards to zoner laws section 2 §2, ze No-Fire-Zone.
As you may be aware, if zings happen in front of your station, I've to ask in which cases offensive actions are justifiable.

But let me start wiz some context:
About a week ago, ze Rheinland corvette Jena was patroling Sigma-15.
Side info: Sigma-15, or Lüneburg, is considered as Rheinland space by ze second Treaty of Nevers - a treaty ratified by ze Empire of Kusari and ze Empire of Rheinland; I attach ze full document for you.
Ze corvette Jena got attacked wizin ze No-Fire-Zone by gas miners and was heavily damaged. Engineers still try to restore guncam shots as evidence. Ze blackbox was recovered and will also be forwarded.
Today, ze Rheinland corvette Eisenach was going to meet up wiz a convoy from Kusari, when, again, gas miner ships approached. Zeir group contained of one very heavy fighter, a civilian gunboat and a zoner frigate. Ze gas miners insisted ze corvette to leave ze system and because ze Rheinland polizei respects ze zoner No-Fire-Zone, ze Eisenach was ordered to retreat to Rheinland space and not escalate ze situation furzer. You can however see, zat ze gas miners disrespected ze zoner laws by not caring about ze No-Fire-Zone.

Zere might be situations, in which ze Rheinland forces can no longer accept a retreat appropriate to ze given situation.
I have to ask you how to resolve such a dilemma if no zoner security assets is available.

Attachment:
