Due to the invasion by Gallic force the Tau Blockade will remain in full effect. Travel North of Stokes Station in Leeds, West of Planet Leeds and West of Hood in Dublin is restricted. Any transports hauling cargo past those areas will be considered to be attempting to break the blockade, their ships held, fined and cargo confiscated.
Due to the danger of attacks in Leeds all transport of unrefined 'ores' in the Leeds system is restricted to Bretonian marked vessels only, non-Bretonian ships will be considered to be attempting to break the blockade, their ships held, fined and cargo confiscated.
Passage of cargo and material into the Taus is only permitted with a Tau Trading Licence.
BAF and BPA pilots have the right to demand the destination of the traders and confirm it via intel. Traders found to be trading with Gallia must drop their cargo or sell it at Bretonian bases. Traders found to have lied about their destination will be treated as enemies of the Crown.
Bretonia Police will grant Tau Trading License only via verification in the license office. No officer is granted permission to aprove any pilot in space. We will inform everyone after getting all needed information here, in this office after particular case will be discussed and decided upon.
All aproved pilots and corporations should note that licenses will last for 6 months from the point of aproval by the BPA. After 6 months time the license will expire and the ship will be removed from the list.
Medical Licence
Covers: Synthetic Marijuana and Human Organs
Synthetic Marijuana : The use of Synthetic Marijuana is strictly for medical use.
Human Organs: In a recent poll, it was found that 42% of Human Organs found being transported by private organizations were in the process of being illegally trafficked. Of those cases, 74% of the organs were going to legitimate organizations in the Taus or Border Worlds. To combat rumors regarding the suppression of Humanitarian Organizations, Parliament has authorized the creation of Medical Licence.
The transport of Human Organs or Synthetic Marijuana is illegal without a Medical Licence
Handling Nomad weaponry and Equipment, as well as Biomatter samples, requires licensing from the Bretonia Police Authority. Any ship carrying unlicensed Nomad Biomatter, Equipment, and Weapons can be fined up to 5 million Credits. Note: Alien Organisms DO NOT count as Nomads
[color=#66FFFF]Military Material Licence
Covers: Nuclear Devices, Munitions, Marines, Light Arms, Plutonium, Prisoners and Military Vehicles.
Due to the sensitive nature regarding the use of the commodities commonly referred to as Nuclear Devices, Munitions, Marines, Light Arms, Plutonium, Prisoners and Military Vehicles, a special license has been created to cover the shipment of military goods within Bretonian Space.
Military Material Licensing is obtainable from the BPA. The fee is used by the BPA to undergo an investigation of any individual or corporation looking to be licensed, and to subsidize Border Wolds Exports, the previously exclusive shipper of military goods.
To obtain Military Material Licensing, an individual or corporation must submit either their name or common registration, an abridged background regarding himself or their corporation, and the registration fee. Junkers, Gallia, Unlawful, Slaver, and Smuggler identified ships are ineligible for this licensing.
