Hello, and happy new year to you.
I wish to inform you that the RDA will be taking in use some transport ships originally engineered in Rheinland, more precisely, the Ragnar Armoured Transport, and the Colossus Train. Firstly, appearances are deceiving. Even though these ships are -originally- manufactured in rheinland, the ones we will use, will be heavily customized to fit our own usage.
The reason I inform you of this? Well.. RDA runs -alot- of trade runs throughout liberty, and quite frankly, we wish to know whether or not this will be a problem with our new transports.
We will of course be able to pay any extra licensing fees that may come with using these transports in your space.
Please reply as soon as possible.
Lawrence Ekstrom,
CEO of the Resource Distribution Agency
Saving to hardrive..
Transmission lost, channel still open.
I cannot in good faith let there be exceptions for any of the ships currently prohibited and under the condition that there are no exceptions. This is the case for very good reasons that almost without exception constitute a risk to national security or the economic integrity of this house.
Making an exception here would also be showing a Libertonian company to be in the favour of the state; at a competitive advantage compared to other corporations. This is neither true nor should appear to be so. To be either would compromise the credibility of the current government, and my position within it. Liberty is widely acknowledged as the flagship nation for free trade, excepting those who have taken up arms against us. I cannot in good judgement allow exceptions for the RDA, nor any other corporation, where the law clearly states that no exceptions are to be made.
Therefore, the RDA, and others who are within Liberty, must abide by our law as it is currently written.
Quote:IV. Transport ships.
The transport models of the Rheinland Train, Behemoth medium transport, Pirate Train and Pirate Transport are not permitted within the house of Liberty. The ALG mover and all other transport class ships are permitted.
There are no exceptions to this law.
Captains of transports of illegal make and model will be forced to drop any cargo they are carrying and exit the house of Liberty by the route specified by the officer on duty. An additional fine may be levied if previous infractions have occurred. Any resistance or evasion will result in the transport ship being destroyed.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
And a quick note here, your transmission was redirected to the government, as it is a matter of law, not of enforcement.
