Description

Rheinland Federal Police (RFP) is the left hand of the Chancellor in Rheinland Territory. They enforce all laws put forth by him and punish all those who break them. This can be anything from breaking the Embargo between Liberty and Rheinland to smuggling contraband within Rheinland space. The Rheinland Federal Police are known throughout their territory to be both strict and ruthless when it comes to enforcing their laws.

Summary of Duties:

• Provide police escort to transport ships coming from Bretonia to Rheinland, Liberty to Rheinland (passengers only), and Rheinland to other systems. A police escort is not an option for the trader to decline, its Rheinland law.

• Stop and interrogate ships who might have been a witness to or involved in any criminal activity. This activity requires the development of fun and creative detective role-play in game and in the forums.

• Arrest on sight all members of the Volksfront and LWB. If they resist arrest, use all necessary force to remove them from civilian sectors.

• Patrol the Rheinland territories that include New Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Dresden, Munich, and Halle.
• Confiscate and destroy all illegal cargo. Fine the pilot of the ship (see fines below). If they flee or resist arrest, destroy the ship and tractor in the escape pod.

• Monitor the system channel for spy and encrypted transmissions. Spy transmissions typically begin with “//” or contain the letters “lol”. See below for more information on how to handle spies.

• Assist the Rheinland Military as needed.

• Eliminate all Pirates, Coalition, Nomads, Outcasts, Phantoms, Red Hessians, Unioners and all other threats to system security.

• Protect the citizens of Rheinland by offering assistance and other services

Laws & Fines

Police Regulations

• 1. Any vessel in Rheinland is to be ordered to halt for scan before clearance.

• 2. Naval, police, civilian, and freelancer pilot pods are to be dropped by the nearest available police officer. These pods are to be taken to the nearest station or planet. If the pilot of the ship refuses to drop the pods, destroy their ship.

• 3. Any form of smuggling is forbidden and punishable. First offence includes a four million credits fine and destruction of cargo. Second offense is incarceration (player must log off for 15 min) or destruction of smuggling ship. Materials considered contraband in Rheinland are Lawful Pilots, Slaves, Artifacts, Cardamine, Synthetic Marijuana, Counterfeit Software, and Nomads and Nomad equipment. No fine is to be issued for Das Wilde pilot pods.

• 4. Any form of piracy and/or coercion of the citizenry is forbidden and punishable by the destruction of the pirate ship.

• 5. All sorts of Nomad materials are forbidden in Rheinland space. Ships carrying these materials are to be instructed to relinquish them for destruction or leave Rheinland territories. Should the captain of the ship chose to relinquish them and the items are mounted on the ship, they are allowed into orbital stations only--not planets--so the items may be removed on sealed docks for destruction. Failure to comply with this is punishable with ship destruction.

• 6. Military ships from other Nations aren't welcome inside Rheinland territory unless they've been specifically invited and/or allowed in by the Office of the Chancellor. Said ships must leave Rheinland immediately. Ships failing to comply are to be terminated.

• 7. Ships larger than gunboat class are to keep a 10k distance from every planet inside Rheinland territory.

• 8. Battleships not Properly tagged are banned from Rheinland space.

• 9. Liberty affiliated traders can only carry passengers and prisoners into Rheinland. Ships containing any other cargo are to be turned back home under penalty of death. Destroy their ship if they refuse to take the shortest route home with their cargo on board.

• 10. System-wide transmissions that are encrypted or containing sensitive information are the work of spies and traitors. These transmissions usually contain “//” or “lol”. For first offence, warn pilot that encrypted messages or messages of an inflammatory or subversive nature are not allowed in Rheinland space. If the spy continues to broadcast these messages, destroy the ship by any means necessary.

• 11. Pilots displaying hostile activity are to be shot on sight with prior warning.

• 12. Pilots of unknown and doubtful activity are to be requested to leave Rheinland. Those who fail to comply in a reasonable period of time will be shot on sight.
