						Standard Disclaimer #171.3122.17.05 (v1.0.1.2 Beta)
						  
						There have been suggestions made in certain divisive and essentially
						despicable quarters that Starlight Lines and Starlight Travel
						are in some way commercially connected, the implication being
						that any such connection, if such a connection were deemed to
						exist, would be in breach of prevailing anti-trust legislation
						and might in the opinion of the court of relevant jurisdiction
						be construed as being tantamount to a conspiracy to defraud members
						of the traveling public by offering for sale packages which did
						not necessarily provide better value than similar packages, if
						any, offered by competing shipping lines which were being unfairly
						restrained in their pursuit of freedom of trade. We would like
						customers to be confident that this is not the case. We would
						also like in the interests of openness and free trade to inform
						customers that, if they are not confident that this is not the case, then according to the Articles
						of Association of Starlight Travel (and also, rather remarkably,
						of Starlight Lines) the Court of Jurisdiction is deemed to be
						the Majlis of z-Qu'a'Barrq* to which all representation should
						be made. 
						  
						
						  
						  
						  
						 
						 
						 
						* The ancient Majlis of z-Qu'a'Barrq is the oldest Judicial Court in the known Universe. Founded on
						Fna'a before records began, it existed originally to determine
						upon matters maritime, and, although it has widened its remit
						and now pronounces upon intergalactic questions, it is still entirely
						composed of individuals who have made substantial fortunes in
						the travel and transport industries. Indeed, so influential is
						it that it has come to serve a secondary purpose, as a secret
						-- but strictly convivial -- society for travel operators and
						transport magnates from all over the galaxy. Questions have therefore
						been raised about its hidden agenda -- "A protection racket for
						dodgy tour operators," as one malcontent described it -- but none
						of the many accusations has ever stuck, and, indeed, so persuaded
						have many litigants been by the essential bona fides of The Majlis that they have themselves found highly-paid engagements,
						either as Court Adjuvants or in the travel industry itself.   |
