(OOC: Just a small post. I hope you guys will jump in and at least post a little something just to generate activity)

*The Ordenreich General Assembly has just proposed a new bill that turned out to be such a good idea the Hierarchy is now adopting it in its foreign trade system. The General Assembly recently passed a bill to further fight piracy within the Ordenreich by implementing a convoy system. This convoy system would group trade ships into flotillas of ten all traveling to the same destination. These 10 ships would have 4 frigates escorting the group of ten who will engage pirates and either destroy them or serve as a shield between the pirates and the traders. This new system proved to be highly successful as pirates now have to go through much cost to attack the new convoys making the payout for attacking trade ships risky and low profit. Piracy against domestic traders, as a result, is becoming increasingly rare and unpopular in the Ordenreich. This system is now being adopted by the Ordenreich Hierarchy in use in foreign trade. Foreign ships using trade lanes within the Ordenreich will now be placed in groups of ten with other trader ships heading in the same direction with an escort of 4 frigates. The trade ships will enjoy the protection of the Ordenreich convoy system the entire time they are within the Ordenreich sphere of influence. Unless a foreign government specifically wishes it, the Ordenreich will group trade ships entirely by random if they are heading in the same direction.

Burninite ships request not to be convoyed. They are careful to compliment the effectiveness of the plan, but are hesitant to accept violence to protect them. They would prefer to rely on shields and the ability to rabbit if the situation gets too hairy even for shields.

Per Burnination's request. Trade ships under the Burninite flag will not be granted protection under the Convoy system. The Ordenreich feels the need to warn that unless other foreign powers choose to not follow the Convoy system the Burnination trade ships will be singled out by pirate gangs as undefended easy pickings. The Ordenreich will protect Burninite shipping if a fleet is nearby to intervene but it may not arrive in time should the worse come to pass

Jenova Incinerator herself personally thanks the Ordenreich for its concern, and dares pirates to attempt interception of Burninte ships.

Burninites are quite confident in their shields and ability to rabbit.

(OOC: Sounds like overconfidence. Sounds like a possible RP :p)

(OOC: Yeah this weekend I might stage an incident where "pirates" attack Burninite trade vessels. Stay tuned I will probably have it up today and it will be its own topic)

Talent Diane Morris's Office, MY 2285

Keeping an eye on the OrdenReich domestic news as she always did, Talent Morris had followed along with the debate on the convoy system's inception from the moment the bill was introduced. Although not perhaps a major matter in Centauri-OrdenReich relations, she knew well that the Morganite traders would not take to a measure that they would believe to limit their freedom of movement. As such, she was quick to notify its head of operations in OrdenReich space, who in turn urged Talent Morris to request an exemption for Centauri traders, which she had already been considering. Soon enough, and after a call to the Governate's own traders, who urged the same, she decided to formally make the request to the OrdenReich government, requesting Centauri exemption from the convoy system.

*The Ordenreich government will adhere to the Centauri's request*
