The idea of making a "global Zoner group" when having a faction establishing "no global group" from the beginning (supported by the roleplay of players and successful groups established long before) wouldn't be done without very serious cautions and tact, everyone felt that was coming.

That stated, let's be more constructive. If this Zoner group can't be created as you expected, whatever the causes, it doesn't mean you have to quit making a Zoner group. You just have to find a way to characterize what you really want to play (the way you want to have fun and share with other players), and to put it both RP on the forum and in-game so that players may identify clearly what you are aiming for. I'm not against that at all. You want to have a very engaging RP, as IFF/ID Zoner, but since you have difficulties to put it through, allow me a little.

You seem to really want being active in the military. You want to elaborate/be involved in a lot of combat situations, don't you ? Both spontaneously in-game with your friends and in rp/events, I presume. Being military-heavy with Zoners can look antagonist, I agree, but even that could be played if you characterize it correctly.

For instance, you could play as a group of Zoners with a more radical approach toward other (hostile) factions. But you don't want to shaken the bond you have with the other Zoners (and their important groups), or get them angry because what you do shaken their own bonds with other groups. So you have to be sneaky (and this can be a very strong red-line for your group). It means you are ready to hide you activities, conceal proofs so that the victims (as well as other Zoners) may suspect nothing.

I have two examples :
- you're directly hitting one Faction with your space warriors. You have to be identified as your group to other players, fast in your strike, and leave rapidly too. Then when threads appear in the forum, accusing Zoners of terrorism, your role is to firmly deny (in roleplay of course) the attack with a brilliant post. The aim isn't to argue with other player, but to handled a precious diplomatic role so that your group may survive any information that may cause you troubles.
You can develop diplomatic roleplay too from that point (Why not bribing officials ? Nobody is perfect...)
-you hire mercenaries to do the job and you pay them in the dark when the awful deed is done. You would be the only Zoner group to have this kind of activity, and people would gladly have another reason to wander in the Omicrons to pew pew friendlily.
-what does it means too ? You will have to find your kind mercenaries in the Houses ! Tons of opportunities for you to contact existing groups and Factions, and create pacts, alliances, long-term bonds and much.

Well if you want economy, why not try to develop the economy of a resource that isn't really pushed by the other groups ? Remember, the OSI has a big specialization in delivery. Find one commodity that can be interesting regarding the Omicrons and the Houses, and develop it. You'll find buyers as long as you are ready to play and entertain it.
Let's even go further with that. Why not using it as a weapon of war ? I mean certainly The Wild can really be interested in shipment of Cardamine (and if they don't, my example still works ! AH !), but poisoned Cardamine that kill them slowly ? You gain an ally by trade, you win a lot of money while you are destroying them from the very inside - AND engaging players through all the game AND creating interesting roleplay tension AND creating a fun story.

So, you see, there is a lot of potential to do it good. What I have presented is kind of a tricky RP, I admit it, but it can be really interesting to have a "hidden Zoner group that don't go by the rule" theme going around. People would like it. It's up to you to put it right now, don't feel alone there are people ready too help you.
