When stations are large enough they will begin to generate mass traffic of smaller NPC ships that fly around the station along specific lanes. Some of these ships will be Police Vehicles which will deviate from the mass traffic lanes to scan random ships nearby for wares which are illegal to the faction which owns the sector. Failure to comply will cause the Police Vehicle to go hostile and attack the offending ship and may even lead to the whole station attacking the ship. Killing mass traffic is considered a hostile act by the owning faction. Mass traffic will occasionally spawn Criminal owned craft which can be killed without penalty and even earn notoriety with the faction which owns the station.
