For some clarity upon the matter:
The fighter was not initiating the fight, but was actually assisting a gaul who was in the group, and had already been engaged by said gaul.
Quote:"Allies" - Ships of the same non-Generic affiliation or ID; Ships defined as your ID's allies on the in-game faction rep sheet; Ships working under a valid escort contract; or Ships you are currently flying in group with.
The person in question failed to mention that they were actually engaged by the GNI cruiser and their group who was attacked by such, had split off into several directions, hence apppearing "alone"
Now because the players were occupied with assisting the gaul in question with cding the people spreading out in several directions, there's only 3 ish screenshots of the incident.
This is one of the many transports being CD'd, as the cruiser had already moved in - proving that the quoted line from the log was NOT the ship being alone: https://i.imgur.com/PaRDDap.png
To further verify that the people were actually dispersing from an engagement that had started from the gaul, here's some logs of the group chat screaming to cd.
The image provided the reporter seems hand picked to show that assisting ship was actually engaging alone, when in reality he was being chased across the system. Unless engagements end when people disappear from scanners, which in that case would need some clarification.

The logs posted also show that the bomber was also waiting for the Cruiser to catch up when he was caught by the bomber, where a CD is not an engagement - which was the only thing shown in the screenshot and entirely lacked context, so it appears he wasn't bombing him anyway, but even if CDs were engagement, it wouldn't have mattered because of helping the gaul.

After reviewing the evidence present, looking deeper in to the Server Files and evidence presented by yourself, it has been decided to uphold the original decision.
Your ID states for outside ZOI:
Quote:- Can attack any ship to protect allies.
At no time was the CAUVIII Gallic Cruiser under threat from a handful of traders with a mix of UA/no armour and basic trade ship guns/no guns. Also, as mentioned, they scattered.
As for your claim that you were allied to the Gallic Navy Ship, we find it very difficult to understand this, because at the time of the incident Technocracy of Auxo was deemed, by Gallia, as 'Trespassing Entity'. This stance was not changed until 4 days later.
Also, you suggest that firing CDs does not constitute an attack. The accused fired many CDs, which does constitute as an attack. Also the said ship destroyed an unarmed, unarmoured Trader in this conflict.
