TERMS OF SALE
| Having been found guilty of crimes against the Galactic Federation, Rik Rattison has been sentenced to 20 Years of Service in the Federation Navy. The space vessel "SS Widow's Son"--Asp Explorer (I.D. H1RAM) has been commissioned to serve as the instrument of the sentence, and will be relinquished to the aforementioned as payment for service upon the completion of the sentence term. The vessel has been fitted with a special I.S.T.I. Module (Interstellar Ship Tracking Intelligence), which was fully integrated into the standard issue Federal Control Terminal. Any form of tampering would result in the immediate shutdown of all ship modules and simultaneously be reported to all Federal Navy and Police Vessels in every sector. This case is notable as being both quite lenient for the crimes committed against the Federation, and at the same time, infamously harsh. Rattison was found in possession of and unregistered Type-6 Transporter, heavily modified for smuggling. Also in his possession at time of arrest was over 200 humans, shackled, in poor condition, presumably with the intent to sell into slavery. Slavery is a heinous crime in all Federation space. The fact that Rattison was allowed to avoid a Federal Prison Sentence left many citizens and civil servants in uproar. This was offset by the human rights outcries from those opposed to the controversial tampering system implemented on the tracking system. Many found the possibility of all ship modules shutting down (including life support) to be especially harsh, since the charges for being an Accessory to illegal slavery were dropped after the plea deal was accepted. |
