The Sound of the Police

System security forces are facing hard questions tonight as a devastating report by the Pilots Federation reveals widespread police malpractice.

The report centres around what is known as 'Ram and Scam', where security vessels issue fines for dangerous flying after intentionally colliding with speeding victims.

"With security budgets being cut, this is a tempting alternative revenue stream" stated the reports author, Albert Pascale. "In some extreme cases, individual police officers have pocketed the money. This deception generates millions of credits each year by abusing common law and it has to stop."

A spokesman representing security personnel refuted the reports findings:

"There is no evidence to support these wild accusations. If commanders are not speeding, they will not get fined for dangerous flying."

Flying the Friendly Skies

The issue of security has come to the fore in Wolf 1230 today as the Da Vinci Corporation with Wolf 1230 Dynamic Industries reveal plans to establish a Free Fly Zone within its space.

Finding endemic corruption and malpractice within the existing security force, Da Vinci Corporation intend to take on policing themselves to create a neutral territory where all commanders can fly without fear of intimidation and violence. Spokesman for the Da Vinci Corporation, T.T.Starr, outlined the project:

"No matter your background or allegiance, if you respect the rules you will be welcome. Da Vinci Corporation commanders along with specially commissioned volunteers will police Wolf 1230 and its surrounding systems to ensure the safety of all visiting pilots. If the scheme proves successful, the Da Vinci Corporation along with Wolf 1230 Dynamic Industries will promote our systems for hosting galactic events in the future".
