Fleet Admiral Hale here.
Today, I received reports of a zoner juggernaught sat over West Point Military Academy. So with all due caution, I ordered the Durango to the area to check it out. To my complete lack of surprise I found a zoner Juggernaught callsign Normen sat above the station.
Upon ordering the vessel out of Liberty Space, the captain disregarded my command and headed to Bethlehem Station instead.
The presence of foriegn warships in Liberty is an offence. It is against Liberty Law.
Deal with morons like this and deal with them harshly. I will be charging a bill for time, fuel and other consumables wasted on these morons in future to whatever Zoner authority claims to have some degree of control.

I don't blame you one teensy bit.
First, a small note of humor before we get down to brass tacks:
"Ever try to herd cats?"
Rest assured I will bring this to the attention of our Delegate to the Zoner Alliance Council immediately. Also rest assured that the TAZ vote on any "corrective" actions will be in the affirmative.
"a zoner "battle"-ship in liberty? - that cannot be right. - ever heard of a zoner military? - well, i haven t really. - we deploy a few larger vessels, which are classified heavy transports - but zoners don t deploy an organized military.
even if there are rumors about battleships, i am most certain that such a ship cannot have entered a liberty core system. - with that in mind, - the ship you may have wittnessed might have been a hoax or a large transport featuring a false signal.
records suggest that the furthest our heavy edgeworld "capital" ships got to the old core systems is munich system.
while i do not have the authority to ask for that cause of action, i would still suggest that .... if you ever run into trouble with a capital zoner ship in the core systems - where the captain claims to act in the interest of zoners, you are free to escort the ship to one of our borderstations to be contained - where the matter can be taken over by the station personel.
if such a captain should ever get violent however - forceful actions are most certainly appropriate, in which case we would still need to check, if the target in question is indeed a member of our community authorized to act in the way he or she did.
if any harm was done or even casualties happened, i am certain that any matter can be resolved in a civilized manner, where we can recognize resonsibilities and sort out consequences without resorting to violent actions.
The Zoner 'Fearless' Destroyer. Cruiser weaponary array and shielding. A warship if I ever saw one. The clue is in the title. The word 'Destroyer' gives it a certain feel. Would you agree? There was one of these floating around Liberty the other day as well. Fortunuately he complied with Liberty Law.
The capatin of this particular warship.... (Yes the Jinkusu is a warship. It has battleship offensive and defesive capacity. Don't feed me any more bull.) Was attempting to "keep the peace" in liberty. That would imply that a foriegn national, in a dangerous warship wanted to take Liberty Law into his own hands, while infact being in massive breach of it himself. If you attempt to fend me off with any more bull Miss Tate, and I will make damned sure your time in liberty is a living nightmare. I suppose you can be glad that you spend your life out in the Omicrons where you don't see what your massively stupid and idiotic friends get up to in Liberty, then it gives you almost free reign to attempt to rubbish what I'm saying.
Stop sticking up for your own and look at the facts Tate. As far as I'm aware, you hold no authority, nor do you have any dealings with Liberty, something of which both you and I should be glad. Get your nose out of that which holds no conern for you, lest it becomes a very large concern of yours indeed.

Greetings, Admiral,
I send you this transmission with much respect. I will also not send you any bull. I would like to know who the captain of this ship was, the ship's name and so forth. I remember not so long ago the "[ZF]Pendulum" sat above West Point and declared a 5k no-fire zone. It was that incident and the acts of a couple of others that made for a ban of TAZ in Liberty space, somewhere we like doing business. To have a name makes it easier for us to removed the offender from the commander's seat. I can understand your anger, especially over a Jinkusu or an Aquilon.
Regarding cruisers, we do from time to time send them to Bethlehem Station or Planet Erie. In those cases, commanders are instructed to get clearance.
Admiral Hale, I will pay the bill myself. Let me know how much and who to send it to.
Respectfully Submitted,
Dr. John Henry Holliday
TAZ Ambassador
