The Portum Romae Act is an Act of the Praetorian Imperial Navy conducted by the HMS Intolerable Acts, that was designed to secure the Imperium's jurisdictions over Yaisdra IX shipping ports.
The Act was a response to the Tau insurrection in Port Romae. It outlawed the use of the Port of Romae by setting up a barricade/blockade for "landing and discharging, loading or shipping, of goods, and wares" until such time as the Tau insurrection could be controlled. In other words, it closed Romae Port to all vessels both surface and spacecraft, no matter what business the ship had.
