Subject: Smuggling.
Konbanwa,
We've tolerated the Congress transports going through the Taus even though we knew where they were going with their premium scrap because we had no means nor will to start a conflict with you. But keep in mind that Tau-29 is under our protection and smuggling or other unlawful activity in that system will not be tolerated by the Imperial Navy.
One of your transports, Basurero was caught hauling Cardamine[1]. After a direct order to stop and drop his cargo, he docked on Freeport 6[2] without dropping the orange and saying a word. He then proceeded to question our authority in the area.
I'm waiting for you to suggest something to redeem yourselves. Otherwise, the Congress transports in the are will be turned back after dropping their cargo. Or worse.
