Answer 44 [SYS] Smuggling
QuarEnfDiv Briefing:
We have reports that criminal elements belonging to the so-called Admiral Silla's Navy criminal organisation are smuggling contraband via high-risk hyperspace non-docking ship-to-ship cargo transfer maneuvres.
We suspect vessels are clearing customs and quarantine procedures in New Hong Kong, then using their one authorised jump to Morton's Fork or Plato's Cave to pick up contraband en route.
QED officers are to check engine specs for high-speed drives that can take roundabout hyperspace routes and still reach their destination in the designated time-window, and QED patrols along those routes are to scan for stationary or slow-moving vessels.

Of course, people are always trying to get around them, with Rube Goldberg-like contraptions to get contraband on board after receiving the transponder, but it doesn't work, leave system, transponder void, dock with a transponder-free ship, transponder void.
|
For this to work with the fact that New Hong Kong is the entry for this and 2 other systems, let's say the transponders allow one logged jump within a window of 2.1 days to Morton's Fork or 2.75 days to Plato's Cave, matching the 1 parsec/day speed.
