Foundation Year: 01 / Zone Republic [ZR] - snowm - 12-21-2007 [Notes on a recorded v-log, provenience: unknown, intervenients: unknown] ...I am maybe aging now, my old influence with them is lost, the fuel burns have disfigured me, my hand is not as steady as it once was... but... I too had my prime, and back then few could face me, young one. Now strength, dexterity and beauty are no longer with me, only the will remains, and you, young one, you shall be the hand and I the will... [Personal logs ] ...strange men came to me a few days ago and asked me to write a presentation for some sort of loony group, Zoners I think, strange fellows those, who for the Light's sake would want to live in those wastelands full of pirates and aliens, anyway in my current situation, 1 million credits sure come in handy, a writers earnings are always uncertain, and with the Orange hunger always tormenting me I might as well be their cronist and write their silly exploits. Now what tone should I use? let's see if I can remember those two fellows, one was... one of those self righteous pompous asses full of "thous" and 16 letter words... the other I cant figure out..., he was the leader of the two, surely, but he hardly spoke a word...never mind, I'll use my best ponderous n?2 style hehe I'm sure the boneheads will be happy...now where did I put my Suetonius... Presentation :: Foudation Year: 01 :: The original Citizens of the Freeport 9 Advent spread their network. Some came, heard their words and decided to join. Months passed, Zoners, traders, defectors from both sides of the law, escaped slaves have gathered, the time was right, and the Foundations were laid. As events unfolded the Citizens took their positions in the organization of the Republic, most traded on the lone routes of the Omicrons with occasional visits to the House systems, some collected CODE weapons from derelict ships lost in remote systems, others armed and trained themselves for common protection... and for the coming storm forming in Omicron Iota. A small Senate was organized on frozen Gammu to write the laws and the codes, who in their turn, were submitted to Citizens vote and ultimate approval. Relations of peace and of animosity were built, Citizen Sommerset a young of Bretonian origin was appointed Representative to the Zoner Council as a non voting member at the bequest of the Citizens, the Captain of the Renegade who some say was once a Cruiser Captain within the Liberty Navy before defecting was appointed Quaestor or administrator of the treasury, and strange tales regarding the notorious rogue En'Rath have been reported, some say he continued his life in crime after the Freeport 4 battle, others say he secretly joined the Republic and is now the Arms Instructor under an alias. The continuous tense relation between the Citizens of shady past and the Bounty Hunters has led to conflicts and blood was shed. And finally the Nomad force, who is again at the gates and requires a watchful eye. These are the events that I have heard and that have occurred so far... What are we? We are at first free Citizens before all labellings, then we are Zoners. The Zone to us means freedom, freedom from vertical forms of government, freedom from the Houses "caste" system, freedom to start a new life and carve our own common destiny. We came from different parts and backgrounds, we were dissatisfied, dissatisfied with the greed of the individuals and the apathy of the collective, with the Lawful that oppresses the many for the glory of the few; dissatisfied with the Unlawful of gratuitous violence, injustice and corruption cloaked under the banner of freedom fighting. We left, and now we are united. The Republic unites us, the Res Publica, the common ground, the common property and ideology. Our commitment to the Ideology is strong, our lives are frugal and without comfort, the environment where we dwell is harsh and unforgiving. These are our ways. What do we do? We make a living by many forms, we trade all sorts of merchandise and we can provide escort services to the traders brave enough to venture into the outer systems. Our policies are of Neutrality and sustained growth, although we have a well armed fleet, it exist only for the common defense and in the interests of Peace. We do not engage in Bounty Hunting as our Citizens consider this a despicable practice, we also don't partake in wars that do not concern us. We strive for neutrality with all and we extend our protection to all the other Zoners in Sirius, who we call our countrymen, should they require and request it. Our current base of operations is the frozen planet Gammu, where our fleet is stationed for the time being, all are welcome, lawful and unlawful, to visit us, repair their ships a pick up supplies. These are our doings.
