INCOMING TRANSMISSION
Sender: Plodlington
Location: Fort Bush
Target: Frank Austin
Subject: Embargo
Mr Austin, Diamonds are not considered to be contraband and so long as they are indeed the said commodity then the trader is free to bring them in. This includes War Diamonds. By all means have them checked over just be on the safe side, although their destination is most likely capable of performing that task.
We don't really go about destroying freighters, even a Rheinland one, unless it's absolutely necessary. Of course, this one appears to have made off without any attempt at communicating so it was probably the best option to take it out as it may have been a spy that speaks only a Rheinland tongue. After all, refusal to comply, and it's usually rather obvious that you wish for them to stop even if they don't understand the wording, may be met with deadly force. Rheinland transports are of course prohibited and regardless of their cargo.
Please familarise yourself with the embargo, see [here] and section 0.2 which clearly states:
Quote: Non-military goods bound from Rheinland to Liberty are permitted.
