Re: Wormhole toll

Due to an unfortunate mix up, and other circumstances, the decision has been made to concentrate all the necessary positions to one central position. The toll can now be paid directly to position 3710, i.e. to the Keeper of Wisdom. This is instead of the previously mentioned Keeper of the Law(1118).

To: All parties who have used the wormhole since it last opened.
From: Patriarch Kyrt Furey, Leader of the Clan Council

As you all know, the Clans have been operating a toll and customs post at the Wormhole entrance in Crossley since the wormhole last opened sometime last year. Ever since then, any ship passing through SS 8-51 in the Crossley(99) system has been subject to a 2,000 stellar toll.
It is with great pleasure that I announce that most people have abided by Clan law and have paid this toll freely. However, there is a small minority that have not yet paid. As this system is fairly new, I have been patient. However, unless all outstanding tolls, currently charged at 2,000 Stellars per trip through the wormhole, are paid to me by the end of week 12/196, the defaulters will be subject to a fine of 10,000 Stellars per trip through the wormhole. Failure to pay this fine will result in the defaulting ships being posted and attacked on sight by Clan military forces.
Ships that need to take heed have the following registry numbers: 802, 1468, 456. If any other ship has failed to pay the toll, then please do so immediately. Those failing to do so must be prepared to face the consequences.

To: All
From: Kastorian Security Commander

Agent activity has been detected in the Kastorian colony Rubis. The net fell and soon identified that the Yacht IND Copenhagen (2637) was responsible for setting up the agent. The ships captain has two weeks to contact the Kastorian Leadership or run the risk of been made an example of. If the Kastorians don't hear from the ships captain a bounty will be placed on his head. The clock ticks...
