regarding: the Apocalypse wing
"dear delegates. - i have just received a message from our esteemed representatives of the largest Zoner factions, the [TAZ], the OSI and the ZTC.
A months has passed since these factions allowed the Apocalypse wing a special allowance for some of our installations for emergency repairs to maintain their technology and to keep their crews healthy. - the deal was for the Apocalypse wing to work hard on loosing their fugitive status and to get to peace with at least their parent faction again.
Sadly though we have to face the facts that this has not happened successfully. - the Apocalypse wing is regarded as hostile by the BHG as before - and earlier reports also indicate that there were troublesome incidents that put the zoners into a tightspot regarding the other estabilished factions - especially in and around omicron-delta.
due to those precious relationships we keep in delta, we Zoners cannot afford to endanger the mutual agreements with yaren outpost and their inhabitants nor the guildcore which deploys a powerful military there or our close allies, the order.
we decided that the time has come to part with this lenient policy and to apply a more pragmatic one.
it was decided to declare the apocalypse as "unfriendly" - and disallow them into our special NFZ zones around ANY zoner station ( except gammu and primus, which are not really ours anyway )
the Apocalypse marked ships are not allowed to enter the freeport security perimeter - and if they do, they are to be asked to leave ( gently ) - if they refuse, a more forceful manner may be applied - but only to pronounce our will to keep them out of our NFZ.
the apocalypse wing will not be allowed emergency docking either. that means, even if they are approaching burning and breaking apart - they are not to be allowed docking. - but their chasers may still not violate the NFZ. - if they are considered to be highly dangerous for the safety of the station though - they may be forcefully driven out of the NFZ again of course.
furthermore, the apocalypse wing will not be allowed to use omicron-74 anymore as a transit - as the whole system acts as a "no-fire-special-zone".
being marked "unfriendly" means that zoners may well defend themselves against them if needed, but are asked not to hunt them. - so we d urge fellow zoners not to provoke them, taunt them but simply to avoid them. - we are not out there to kill others - and we should also not ask others to try to kill us.
this ban from zoner installations will be in place for 3 months after the public announcement of this decision. - a time in which the apocalypse wing might redeem itself or worsen things - but it is up to them. it is the time that we will stay out of these matters that are originally not our business but an internal BHG guild business.
should the apocalypse wing attack zoners - and such attacks occur more often, the status of "unfriendly" may change to "hostile" in which case the zoner response teams may actually hunt them down to finish the threat once and for all.
the intention is to make this business that we made one of ours.... the business of others again. a business we are not concerned with anymore.
i may repeat that it is not the will of the great Zoner Factions to see juggernauts hunt them like fugitives - that would be an utter waste of recourses that can be needed much better.
on the matter of zoner weaponry, i am afraid we weren t able to recall or find the voting on this matter. - but if the CoZ is able to provide the voting on the matter of four zoner weapons max. - we would also need to ask them to sell us our weapons back.
this concept was decided by the TAZ, OSI and the ZTC. - personally i also approve of those actions and it is now for review on the council. - it is not so much about a voting, but if any measures taken are disagreed on, i am sure there is a way to get to a solution that pleases everyone.
sincerely E. Tate"
postscript: it is the wish to leave this for review for 6 hours - and be announced later publicly.
