--------------------------- SECTION ONE: CRIME ---------------------------

Individuals found to be associated with, condoning or conducting criminal activities will be subject to on-site punishment by any officer of the Liberty forces present, ranging from a verbal warning to immediate use of lethal force. Legal action may follow if applicable.

In the house of Liberty, the following are classed as crimes:

I. Contraband possession and restricted commodities.

It is illegal to have any amount of these goods on your person at any time, unless you permitted shipper listed in parentheses:

• Ageira White Boxes (Ageira Technologies, Deep Space Engineering, Universal Shipping)
• Artifacts
• Black Market Light Arms
• Black Market Munitions
• Blood Diamonds
• Cardamine
• Counterfeit Software
• EFL Blue Packs
• Human Organs (Cryer Pharmaceuticals)
• Kemwer Munitions
• Liquid Cardamine
• Military Salvage (Liberty and Bretonia corporations, Junker Congress)
• Nomad Remains and other Nomadic materials
• Nox
• Slaves
• Sorted Artifacts
• Stabiline (Cryer Pharmaceuticals)
• Synthetic Marijuana (Cryer Pharmaceuticals)
• Xeno Relics

This does not apply to the Primary Fleets, as personnel of the primary fleet may confiscate the above goods to deliver them to a safe and secure destination.

The possession of Civilian pilots and Liberty personnel is not permitted. Any ships found to have these pilots aboard will be ordered to release them to the nearest ranking Liberty officer, or to the nearest lawful base or planet.

II. Piracy.

This is described as:

Traffic disruption of any ship with intent to conduct acts of piracy.

Intent is shown by the accused party being present in the close vicinity of a disrupted traffic.

Attempts at extortion, successful or not, for sums of money, equipment, cargo, or personnel in exchange for their immediate or future safety or that of theirf friends, family, or colleagues.

The destruction of any civilian trading vessel not breaking the law due to an act of piracy.

III. Assault.

The assault of any member of the Liberty forces for any reason is illegal, unless specific verbal exemption is given for a particular instance by a member of the high command structures of the Primary Fleets only.

The assault of any civilian for any reason is illegal. The only case that this is allowed is if that civilian has breached the law, and only if permitted by a representative of the Liberty forces.

Bounty Hunters and Freelancers are allowed to collect against those already part of groups that the Liberty forces consider hostile.

Self-defence is permitted. That is the primary use for civilian weaponry in the house of Liberty.

IV. Non-violent crimes.

In addition to the most common crimes as outlined above, it is illegal to commit the following in Liberty:

Impersonating an officer.

This is defined as falsely claiming to be part of any branch of the Liberty forces and acting in a manner which would vindicate such a claim.

Fleeing from an officer when stopped.

This is defined as fleeing any officer when he or she is attempting to question you. If an officer stops you using a cruise disruptor, that is an expression of his or her will to stop you. Ignoring this is a crime.

Gross indecency in a public place.

This includes, but is not limited to, committing a massively inconsiderate act affecting those around you, such as being nude or semi-nude, participating or instigating an act of a sexual nature with or without consent and displaying sexually explicit material in the public domain.

Improper passenger conditions.

This is defined as the crowding of people into a ship not designed for such tasks. Transporting more than 650 passengers, VIPs, delegates, or any other classification of people in any ship not listed here is to be considered unlawful. Officers may demand that said people be disembarked at the nearest station or transferred to their own vessel as well as demand a fine.

Liners and Yachts (minus the "Pilgrim" liner which is deemed improper for this task) and Armored Transports are exempt from the passenger limit regulations as they are designed for human transportation.

Flying whilst intoxicated or under the influence.

This is defined as flying a ship whilst the pilot is being affected by the use of alcohol or narcotic substances, which impair his or her ability to fly the ship in a safe and respectable manner.

Causing, contributing to or participating in a public disturbance.

This is defined as encouraging or being a part of a public disturbance, which includes, but is not limited to, verbal or physical altercation between individuals, polluting the house of Liberty by dumping toxic waste into space and destroying property under ownership such as cargo depots.

Supplying illegal modular base

This is defined as delivering any materials to an unregistered modular base within Liberty.

Inciting violence.

This is defined as convincing or attempting to convince others around you to commit acts of violence against any lawful entity within the house of Liberty.

Military espionage.

This is defined as obtaining and then sharing, without the consent of the Liberty Government, classified information on any matter deemed to contribute to national security.

Corporate espionage.

This is defined as obtaining and then sharing, without the consent of the relevant parent corporation, classified information on any matter deemed to contribute to their smooth operation. This includes possessing, salvaging, purchasing, distributing or trying to reverse-engineer Liberty corporations' proprietary research, technology or products, including but not limited to Ageira White Boxes, without their express written consent.

Of note, if coercion has taken place in order to force someone to breach one of the above, that will be taken into account when judgment is passed.

V. Obstructing the course of justice.

Any individual preventing, evading or delaying the administration of punishment on to an individual found to be breaking the law will be subject to any punishment deemed necessary by the ranking officer on duty.

Destroying or stealing cargo from the wreck of an individual who has been destroyed for breaking the law counts as obstructing the course of justice. Evidence must be confiscated by the Primary Fleets, with secondary priority going to the rest of the Liberty forces. Attempts to prevent this action will be considered accordingly. The only exception to this is when the commanding officer on the scene gives verbal exemption to those wishing to scavenge the wreck of a criminal's ship.

Allowing criminals to dock on a neutral station within the House of Liberty is also deemed to be obstructing the course of justice, as is any attempt to protect or hide them from the Liberty forces.

VI. Reporting individuals flouting the law.

Law abiding corporations and individuals within Liberty can report instances of crime, defined above, where officers of the law were not present to assist civilians against criminal entities. Please follow the instructions listed here to file a complaint against any parties that have broken the law but evaded detection by the Liberty forces.

VII. Known Criminals.

All those possessing following identification or affiliation:

• Battlegroup Harmony
• Blood Dragons
• Coalition
• Corsairs
• Farmers Alliance
• Gaians
• Gallic Brigands
• Gammu Artificial Intelligence
• Golden Chrysanthemums
• Hellfire Legion
• Landwirtrechtbewegung
• Lane Hackers
• Liberty Rogues
• Liberty Separatists
• Mollys
• Order
• Outcasts
• Pirates
• Red Hessians
• Unioners
• Xenos

Individuals which are also considered to be enemies of the state are indicated on the Liberty Criminal Database and the Liberty Bounty Board.

--------------------------- SECTION TWO: LICENSURE ---------------------------

I. Base Licenses.

Due to the high interest of individuals and groups wishing to set up their own private installations within the Republic of Liberty, we have decided to introduce a licensing procedure for these bases.

In order to legally register a base in the Republic of Liberty, it is required that the owner lease the part of space that the base will occupy for the duration of its existence. The following lease plans and their fees are possible:
• 50.000.000 per month
• 500.000.000 per year
• 1.000.000.000 one-time

Further conditions:

As you are leasing space from the Republic of Liberty, we must be provided with the location of your installation. This can be done privately to The Republic of Liberty, and will be kept secret if required to respect its potential sensitivity.

Each application will be considered on a case-by-case basis. There may be problems with certain base positioning, such as in the middle of a trade lane route or directly across an area of space that sees heavy traffic or being in close proximity to established station. As such, we reserve the right to refuse or request that you modify your application for leasing space.

If you are planning to construct modular base within 5 clicks of existing station, you will be required to obtain written permission from official representatives of such station(s). For example, building near Pueblo Station would require permission from Ageira Innovations.

If you are planning to construct weapon platforms, you will be required to obtain written permission from Liberty Government. This can be done in the same channel where you requested construction license. Depending on circumstances, such permission may cost up to 50.000.000 credits for each platform.

If vessels belonging to groups that the Republic of Liberty considers hostile, such as the Liberty Rogues or Gallic Royal Navy, use your base, you will be liable for any consequences that follow. It is your responsibility to make sure that you do not provide safe harbor for criminals and parties that the Republic is at war with. Failure to do falls under obstructing the course of justice, as described in Section One.

You will be advised as to the destination of the fees when you apply to lease space from the Republic of Liberty.

The list of permitted bases can be located here!

II. Ship-board Technology.

Pursuant to providing the utmost freedom and defensive capability to citizens of Liberty, the use of Cloaking Technology for law-abiding entities(private and corporate) is hereby approved. Misuse of this technology for illegal purposes, i.e. piracy, fleeing a lawful order, or engaging in combat against the Forces of Liberty, is a crime. Citizens or groups found to be doing such will have a warrant for their arrest issued and their docking privileges revoked pending resolution of the matter.

There are no other licensing procedures as yet for actions such as arms dealing (legal currently) and the transportation of nomad material (illegal currently).

--------------------------- SECTION THREE: EQUIPMENT ---------------------------

I. Restricted technology.

Affiliating with, working for or possessing identification, ship, equipment or weaponry from following organisations is forbidden:

• Battlegroup Harmony
• Blood Dragons
• Coalition
• Corsairs
• Farmers Alliance
• Gaians
• Gallic Brigands
• Gallic Royal Enclave
• Gallic Royal Navy
• Gallic Royal Police
• Gammu Artificial Intelligence
• Golden Chrysanthemums
• Hellfire Legion
• Landwirtrechtbewegung
• Lane Hackers
• Liberty Rogues
• Liberty Separatists
• Marinenachrichtendienst
• Mollys
• Nomads
• Order
• Outcasts
• Pirates (Z-line)
• Red Hessians
• Rheinland Black Market
• Unioners
• Xenos

Anybody in possession of these weapons will be asked to dismount them and hand them to any station authority for transportation to a secure location. All civilian installations are equipped to handle nomad material.

Pilots flying these ships must either exit the house of Liberty immediately by the route specified by the officer on duty or turn the ship in for research or destruction purposes at the nearest station able to provide a replacement ship. Any resistance will result in the ship being destroyed.

There are, however, exceptions. Address any plea for exceptions to this law to the Republic of Liberty. The current list of exceptions can be found in this registry.

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.

Pitbulls, Bullmastiffs, and Bactrians may be authorized if the owner(s) can prove the vessel was not obtained from the Liberty Rogues or the Mollys, and must additionally provide proof of friendly standing with Liberty Navy and Liberty Police.

Couriers and l’Anes may be authorized if the owner(s) can prove the vessel was not obtained from the Gallic Brigands, and must additionally provide proof of provide proof of friendly standing with Liberty Navy and Liberty Police.

The possession of small ships designed and produced under contract by the Liberty Navy is also not permitted unless authorized. These ships are:

Liberator Light Fighter.
Executioner Heavy Fighter.
Guardian Very Heavy Fighter.
Avenger Very Heavy Fighter.
Defiant Liberty Gunboat.

Pilots gain authorization automatically with the possession of Liberty Navy, Liberty Security Force, or Liberty Police Incorporated identification papers. Pilots may also gain authorization through License Requisition Center if they are not operating within the scope of the Liberty Navy, Liberty Security Force, or Liberty Police Incorporated.

Pilots flying these ships without authorization are to turn in their ship for a publicly available model immediately or face possible destruction and later court action.

II. Foreign Warships.

No warships except those in service within the ranks of the Liberty forces are permitted within the house of Liberty. Warships are classed as any ship of destroyer, cruiser, or larger.

Exceptions: The Corvo Civilian Deep Space Explorer and Bustard Civilian Light Carrier are permitted within Liberty, provided they are utilized solely for lawful activities.

However, permission can be obtained from the ranking officer on duty present for warships of these classes to enter Liberty space. Where possible, these ships will be given an armed escort during their trip through Liberty space. Some reasons for this permission being given may be:

Diplomatic talks with the government of Liberty or a corporation based within Liberty.
The warship in question needing urgent repairs or resupply.
Flight through Liberty to avoid a warzone.

If a ranking officer is not present, entrance into the house of Liberty is denied. Warships found within the house of Liberty without prior permission will be, depending on the conditions, escorted out of the house of Liberty or boarded and diverted to moor on Norfolk shipyard in New York. Any resistance will result in the warship being destroyed.

Permission can only be granted by a member of the Primary Fleets.

Permanent clearance for foreign warships to operate in the house of Liberty is not available.

III. Homeland Warships.

Capital ships of the Liberty forces are not allowed in the hands of those without Liberty Navy, Liberty Security Forces or Liberty Police identification papers unless prior permission is given by the High Command of the Liberty Navy. Anybody found to be selling these ships commercially to those not within the LN, LSF or LPI will face prosecution.

IV. Systems and areas with restricted access.

Zone-21 minefield in New York and Trans-Alaska Corridor in Alaska is restricted (with exception of Ageira/DSE/LPI/Universal ships).
Virginia system is restricted (with exception of Texas Jump Gate-Richmond Military Academy stretch).
Those who have this authorization know that they do. There are no exceptions or exemptions. Trespassers will be dealt with using lethal force.

--------------------------- SECTION FOUR: WARTIME AND FOREIGN AGENCIES ---------------------------

I. Hostile Entities

- Gallic Royal Enclave
- Independent Miners Guild (IMG| only)

Any vessels belonging to the above factions that are caught breaching the borders of the Republic will be treated as enemy combatants and either forced to leave or shot down. These vessels will also have to forfeit the contents of their cargo hold if the officers on the scene deem such an action to be conducive to national security.

II. Foreign Agencies

- The Republic of Liberty does not allow foreign military, intelligence or police agencies to access to its space for any reason.
- The Forces of Liberty will ask the entities to retreat from Liberty space once. Failure to comply with such will result in unconditional arrest or shooting down of said entities.
- The Forces of Liberty have the right to unconditionally arrest or shoot down any ship found to be operating within Liberty space under a Foreign Intelligence Agency.

An exception from this policy are agencies of Allied Nations - The Kingdom of Bretonia.

III. Embargoes

- Bering
- Kansas
- Vespucci

No cargo is allowed to pass through into these systems with the exception of "human cargo" in accordance to proper passenger conditions.

--------------------------- SECTION FIVE: NOTES ---------------------------

The following are addendums and clarifications of the laws specified above:

• Where punishment for infractions is unspecified, it is up to the officer on duty to decide punishment. This can range from a verbal warning to summary execution. All officers are subject to judicial review of their actions, and will be answerable to a criminal court of law if their punishments are found to be unjustly harsh or lenient.

• In all cases, the judgment of the ranking officer on duty is to be abided by. This judgment, and any consequences of that judgment can be challenged by contacting the superior of the officer in question. The aggrieved individual has the right to state that they will do this as a means of informing the officer on duty, not as a warning to cease activities that have yet to be justified as appropriate.

•The Treaty of Curacao dictates the relevant laws involved with suspect apprehension and combined fleet (Liberty Navy and Bretonian Armed Forces) protocols in the Magellan and Cortez systems.

• Fines levied on the spot in space may be up to ten million credits. Fines levied elsewhere, such as via the neural net communications array, can be of any value, but must be issued by a member of the High Command of the Liberty Forces (5th|, [LN], =LSF= and LPI-)

• Hacking communication channels is illegal. Punishment for this crime will be dealt with on a case by case basis.

• Those found to be breaking the law in the house of Liberty, whether in the presence of the Liberty forces or not, forfeit all protection that the law provides. If individuals are found to be breaking the law, a civilian must record irrefutable evidence of a law being broken, whether it be piracy, assault, and so on. This is in case the pirate attempts to deceive authorities by falsely claiming to be the victim, and not the aggressor.

• The law of Liberty is to be adhered to at all times by civilians. It is not to be interpreted in any way. Attempts to lecture Primary Fleet personnel on the meaning (note, not the content) of any section of any legal document falls under section one, paragraph four of this document and will be dealt with accordingly.

5. Base Construction and Zoning

5.1 - Powers of Lawful Entities in Enforcing Base Regulations
All bases must be registered before construction commences. Any unregistered base will be deconstructed as soon as possible, following a declaration of intent through the public channels. If, during these operations, the base administrators are present or otherwise contact us, they will be given one chance to register and comply with Bretonia's demands. The base may be placed under siege to ensure compliance.
Bretonia does not accept liability for loss of life or property due to the construction of an illegal installation. Best effort shall be made to recover the crew of any station outfitted with escape pods - stations commanders which fail to fit life pods to their stations will also be charged with gross negligence and manslaughter. Crews who surrender themselves to the Crown's justice will be held by the BPA, prior to a sentence being passed.
Installations operated by Hostile entities (see: 1.5 - Definition of Entities) will be given no quarter and destroyed on sight.
Registered bases may be subject to consequences, up to and including deconstruction after a declaration of intent, for breaching any of the below or above conditions.

5.2 - Registration Conditions for Bases
Permission for base construction is to be granted by writ of the War Cabinet, and is considered on a case-by-case basis. For a base to be registered, the following conditions must be met. Failure to provide any of the points listed below will result in the immediate non-reimbursable voiding of the registration process.

• The owner must not belong to an entity considered Hostile or Unfriendly to the Kingdom of Bretonia (see: 1.4, 1.5 - Definition of Entities).
  
• The location and name of the base must be explicitly detailed (can be broadcast privately for the sake of confidentiality).
  
• The base's intended purpose and duties must be explained.
  
• Entities to be permitted docking rights must be listed.
  
• A 50,000,000 credit deposit must be filed with the QCG|HMS-Victory or QCG|HMS-Endeavour (subtracted from zoning costs)

5.3 - Registration Zones for Bases
Bases already permitted at the time of these zoning regulations coming into effect will not be required to pay further licensing fees. The cost of registering a new installation varies, depending on the cartographic region the structure is located in. This registration fee is paid only once. Systems not mentioned below - i.e. Leeds, Salisbury, Edinburgh, the near Taus - are not open for public construction. Pricing is as follows:

• Zone 1: Cambridge, New London - 350,000,000 credits.
  
• Zone 2: Dublin, Manchester, Newcastle, Poole - 300,000,000 credits.
  
• Zone 3: Inverness, Nottingham, Exeter - 250,000,000 credits.
  
• Zone 4: Cortez, Magellan - 150,000,000 credits and permission from the Libertonian Government.

For existing bases which are not currently registered and thus deemed illegal, an additional fine up to the registration fee will also be put in place. Permission must always be sought prior to construction being initiated.

5.4 - Base Operational Regulations
The following regulations are expected to be consistently and permanently observed by all station owners, in regards to their installations. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in the structure's siege and destruction. Regulations are as follows:

• Bases must be no closer than 10K from any existing base or jumpgate, unless special permission is granted by the War Cabinet.
  
• No Hostile entities (see: 1.5 - Definition of Entities) may be permitted to land on the station. Authorities may request evidence of docking permission logs at any time to confirm this. Unfriendly Entities will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
  
• No station may leave their docking rights unrestricted - "defencemode 2" - due to potential abuse by unlawful parties.
  
• All stations must have docking permission at all times for Bretonian law enforcement agencies: this includes the BAF|, [SIS] and BPA).
  
• All bases must be fitted with sufficient evacuation equipment to prevent the loss of life of residents and crew, should the base become compromised via circumstances artificial or natural.
  
• Bases are to be no nearer than 10k from any Mining Field.

5.5 - Base Modification Protocols
Station owners are free to make whichever internal station modifications they see fit, including the construction of shield relays, storage berths and factories. Despite this, permission must be sought from the War Cabinet or the BAF Admiralty Board before the placement of weapon platforms, due to the highly dangerous nature of the structures. Once permission has been granted, the owners of the structure may only place up to four platforms unless given special permission.

6. Appendix

6.1 - Newcastle Restricted Zone
By Order of the Military Governor of the Newcastle System, as authorized by Whitehall and the Director of Military Intelligence, Planet Darlington is henceforth considered a Restricted Military Zone. Any vessel found within, shall be neutralized/impounded and the Pilot arrested under Bretonia's Official Secrets Act.


6.2 - Ban on Suing the Government and Armed Forces
Under the Articles of War, it is now illegal in Bretonia to file civil or criminal actions against the Armed Forces or the Crown during a time of war. This is to prevent distractions from the war effort. Any such attempt shall incur a hefty fine to the person breaking this law, and be subject to arrest.

Other Information

If possible, BPA/BAF will respond to distress calls from any Bretonians and ships in Bretonia so long as they are of a Lawful Faction.
The BAF and the BPA will cooperate in full with any other Lawful Agencies regarding terrorism and piracy.
Failing to obey the instructions of a Law Enforcement Officer may result in force being used.

Our forces combined, no-one shall stand before us. Our enemies shall be burnt and cast to the wind, our troops marching forward over their mangled corpses. True we stand alone, with wolves circling, but our isolation lends us our strength, for we are one and they are divided.

The blood of the Hispania runs in our veins. The blood of our enemies shall wet our hands.
