"This is an incoming message from the Zoner Militia"
Attention Zoners around Sirius, and especially, our brethren in the Bering System...
The Zoner Carrier 'Tarrafal' has arrived in the Bering system, containing a large contingent of Zoners back to the area. Their intent is to begin an independent operation to retake the station Freeport 2 from pirates. Zoners are being called up to assemble in the Bering System, to join up with the forces of the Tarrafal, and organize to help them with that goal. This station has been in Zoner control for decades, long enough that many have decided to finance and support its recapture by Zoners, and for normal operation of the station to resume. All Zoners available and able are invited to sign up to the Zoner Militia. This militia, which will function as a private and independent paramilitary force, for Zoners and by Zoners, will deploy to assist in securing the station.
Currently we are gathering information on the status of the station and the system at large. Any intelligence that can be provided to us will be of great help. There are various other factions that inhabit or have a high degree of traffic through the system. We will not be seeking conflict with just anyone, but we will act to defend the Tarrafal and any landing parties of Zoner personnel. We need pilots and captains to fill our ranks fast, and are seeking all other forms of material support for our cause. Ships, personal, soldiers, and officers are all being taken in to be organized into fighting units that will combat any forces that interfere with the Tarrafal's operations.
Let it be known that we will defend ourselves and actively combat any forces that interfere in the Zoner reclamation of Freeport 2. Otherwise, we will only fight as deemed necessary. If this type of service interests you, we could use your help, so come find us.
Sign up to the Zoner Militia on our recruitment board HERE
Get you and your ship(s) to Bering and rendezvous at the Carrier Tarrafal. Let us rally to the cause!
Unidentified Colonel,
Zoner Militia

Hello there.
I assumed this little thing in my inbox would've been a joke. I'm glad I assumed as much, because it's still the same old nonsense you people use to 'justify' your little rebellious accusations.
I'll put it straight for you. We never took the Freeport, pirates never seized control from a defensive populace. The station was left to rot, and opportunists (i.e. people who know how to take care of a station and it's inhabitants) brought it back up to functional standards. If we, or they, left it to be, it'd just be a nice eyesore along the lane to the now defunct Hamburg gate.
Fix yourself, 'Colonel', before we defend what you people left behind, so righteously claiming what was taken from you when you abandoned it to the voids of space. We'll ensure any invasion forces are taken down, and with full prejudice.
This, however, is not a notice to simple, regular, 'peaceful' Zoners who simply wish to visit the Freeport. It is, and always will be, a free station for any pilot to land on (within current restrictions of course), and any Zoner who wishes to land and relax in the fringes between House Liberty and House Rheinland are still more than welcome to do so.
We will not, though, tolerate open hostilities near the station. You militants are free to take your chances, but I promise you you'll wish you'd have stayed out of Bering.
Ta-ta.
Hunter, out.

Well,
Just as I choose a nice quiet corner of Sirius to stay in, the pot starts boiling. Now the lids posed to blow.

I met one of your so called supporters. While I have always had a good relation with the Zoners I must say you are doing this all wrong. This supporter met the full strength of the Amenhotep who decided to fire upon Commander Hunter of Harmony. You see. Bering is home to a lot of people. People with good intentions. If the Zoners Abandoned the Freeport then its not something you can come back and be a child and say give it back. Also for the record a direct member of the Militia group led me straight to the Carrier Tarrafal. A Bustard Class ship is nothing compared to the unified strength of the Unioners, Harmony, and the Amenhotep. Do yourself a favor, go home. There is plenty of more Freeports to inhabit that you maintain control of. Safe skies.

here a free Zoner without important name
call me X
after a long surveillance in the system it follows that the problem in Bering is much more important than some Unioners. In fact, it's not cruiser that we need there, but rather nephilim. Present in the system, at the moment 1 GEB spec OP, 1 hessian cruiser, 2 A bombers and the Scra, I ask myself the question, why the Scra are here
if the nephilim com, it is not for war but to protect.
