SUBJECT: "Gratitude" for helping Bretonia.
Greetings. My name is John Kingston, and I am the Commander of the Death Wing. As i can see my pilots was charged with assault (4.1 - Assault on a Lawful Entity). Bretonian Charter of Interstellar Law (BCIL, latest edition) treat the Bounty Hunters Guild as "1.3 Friendly Entities", but BCIL provides no term or explanation for Auxesia faction. Everything, that was not written by law - does not exist at all, or is legitimate. According to 4.1 - Assault on a Lawful Entity (BCIL), this is "Anyone who fires on any Lawful Entity will be fined a minimum of 4,000,000 credits. Failure to immediately cease hostilities will result in the use of lethal force. This pertains to firing on Individuals, Ships, Installations or Infrastructure, i.e. a BAF Templar, Isle of Skye, Kensington's Cargo Depots.", meaning that you yourselves will attack a Lawful Entity and in so, commit a crime of assault. The reports you provided confirm that Death Wing warriors attacked Auxesia, something i'm even confirming it myself. But as I can't see Auxesia in BCIL at all, so I want to know how and when Auxesia became a Lawful Entity in Bretonian space. Death Wing will always obey the Bretonian law, if they are properly informed about any faction existence.
Furthermore BCIL declares "4.11 - Miscellaneous Offences The Bretonian government retains the right to alter the laws of the Realm to suit developing situations. Similarly, law enforcement agencies may levy fines for actions considered detrimental to the realm, which are not otherwise specifically mentioned in the Laws of Bretonia. These fines can be appealed by petitioning a government delegate.", but it seems that the Bretonian Police Authority has already closed this case without any additional interpretation of BCIL in part 4.1, and a warrant has been already issued under a non-existent law without explanation. I demand full explanation about Auxesia status in Bretonia space and explanation of interpretation according to Bretonian Charter of Interstellar Law.
I will not admit commiting a crime due to me, or my pilots, not knowing about Auxesia supposed lawful position in Bretonian space. When the investigation was running, I was not informed and was not allowed to ask or bring any information onto this case. Still I must inform the BPA that investigating action requires all available information to be gathered, and I'm very disapointed that you do not consider the opinion of someone that has actually protects your borders and attacks the ones that are trying to conquer your Kingdom, but are in fact protecting a faction that even don't exist by the letter of Bretonian law.
So is this the gratitude we have earned for standing with Bretonia in this war against the Gallic invasion? You allow the Auxesia to hide under your protection, when they aren't even your citizens or recognized by your goverment. And where is Auxesia during your war? Right, hiding. I never saw it helping Bretonia, but I saw my warriors getting shot for your Kingdom several times already, without asking for a reward or compensation. When the Death Wing was called, we always answered that call. And everytime the call came, I did not saw Auxesia. In their place, only empty space and your Armed Forces.

Auxesia being mentioned in the laws is, ultimately, of little consequence, however they are not expressly mentioned due to political oversight and other assorted reasons. The charge is assault & Inciting Violence, however you are correct in pointing out that Auxesia is not expressly stated in the Bretonian Laws (as trivial as that is) and equally correct in pointing out you were not contacted. As such, we believe it acceptable to remove the charge of Assault. However the charge of inciting Violence is still applicable, and as such will be sought (4,000,000SC due to two (2) counts).
The Assessment of Auxesia and their status in Bretonian Law is that they are considered Allies of the Crown of Bretonia, and that any further attacks on them within Bretonian Borders will be considered an attack on a lawful entity. However as mentioned due to failing in expressly pointing this out, that charge will be dropped on this occasion.
Your service to Bretonia is (although appreciated) not relevant. The law applies to all. If you believe there have been crimes committed against your people within Bretonia, you are more than welcome to contact us with evidence.

SUBJECT: Assault
Greetings. This is Cmd. John Kingston. Since the last issue has bean dealt with, I want to file a charge of assault (4.1 - Assault on a Lawful Entity) against an Auxesia vessel with name A/)-ACV-Eidolon.Wraith. This ship executed a bounty on our heads in Omega-3 system, issued by the Red Hessian Army, when we were attacking two Red Hessian Army capitals that came to us in Freeport One.
According to recent actions from Auxesia in accusing Death Wing of committing a crime of assault, I must inform Bretonia Police Authority, that unlike us, Auxesia knew about our lawful status. Accordingly, Auxesia, in attacking our ships, was fully aware of the illegality of their actions, which means that Auxesia committed a deliberate crime. Please take the necessary measures to ensure the implementation of laws in accordance with article 4.1 of Bretonian Charter of Interstellar Law.
