Zoner Information

Since the beginning of human settlement in Sirius, Zoners were perceived as people who decided to resign from the guaranteed safety of the Houses. They set out to live their lives in the more dangerous, but also auspicious environments of the Edge Worlds, which were collectively known as The Zone. The migration of former House citizens into these territories was akin to the old Earth’s “Exploration of the Great Frontier.” Men and women from a variety of backgrounds brought what little they could fairy into unknown voids of space. These Zoners ranged from mere adventurers to the socially disadvantaged; from prisoners to corporate tycoons. But no matter what reasons drove people out of the relative safety of the Houses, every one of these civilians wanted to start a new life.

One can imagine how painstakingly difficult it was for the first Zoners in the Edge Worlds. They had to abstain from the comforts provided by well established infrastructures of their former homes, so the only way to begin a new life away from the developed parts of Sirius was to sell rare goods found in the Outer Systems to House corporations and criminals alike. Trading became crucial for their survival. They traveled to every corner of Sirius in order to exchange goods, and in the process ignited the first wave of Zoner Immigrants. As traders from the Edge Worlds emerged, now flying under an Independent banner, they attracted a flood of civilians who were largely impressed by the Zoners’ freedom and prosperity. The news of Zoners spread through Sirius attracting more and more people - craftsmen, veterans, scientists, artists and criminals - many of whom changed their identity and tore down all connections to their respective communities. Their new life had to be tightly bound to a neutral attitude towards political plots and struggles, which gave them the necessary security to travel wherever they wished. Some historical evidence also suggests that the Zoners’ separatist approach toward all factional organizations indirectly resulted in the acclaimed neutrality they maintain to this very day.

The Zoners’ primary focus was civilizing the harsh environments they sought refuge in, but they were still too few to build solid infrastructures in order to colonize inhabitable planets, so they started to build space stations and small habitats. Losing lots of their ships exploring the Edge Worlds they learned to be cautious and they learned to value life more than anything else, at least their own. Living in systems with a vanishing density of population they also got used to relying on themselves, preferring independence, personal responsibility and freedom, but they also had to learn to cooperate with each other, just slowly at first, as their will to survive left no other choice to them. Thi loose cooperation led to the founding of little communities moving from location to location in order to find new resources and ways to improve their lives. Today it seems to be cynical, but they lived like nomads.

Many years passed, and some of these scattered communities grew slowly but steadily, still attracting more and more people. They claimed abandoned stations, like Freeport 2 in 650 A.S., or built new marketplaces, like Freeport 1 in 738 A.S., at junctions of well-known trade routes to ensure the better provision of daily needs. The first communities settled on habitable planets (Erie in 761 A.S.), and other communities, led by dropouts with scientific backgrounds, launched prototypes of the now fabled Juggernauts into space which were supposed to serve as colonial holds, transports, exploring vessels and support facilities. These ships were also designed as ships of war , although they where never used in this role. They had the resources to build them, so they did.

But Zoners had neither enough time, nor a real need to concentrate on developing military power, although they have always been able to develop technology to be among the best Sirius has ever seen. Their love for freedom and individual occupations as well as the wide spread areas they were living in never allowed the foundation of a common military organization. They preferred to spend their income for further scientific advance, conforming with their curious nature, personal luxuries and new ways of colonizing and perhaps exploiting the Edge Worlds, and most people of Sirius appreciated the Freeports as bastions of freedom where commodities could be traded and information gathered freely and unmolested by House authorities. The first Zoner bases did not even have local security personnel, so most Zoners learned quickly to balance opinions, and to abstain from political interference in order to diffuse conflicts at the initial source of the problem. This neutral attitude and indifferent behavior towards almost everyone founded their reputation as good diplomats. The first noticeable common effort of Zoners to sustain their neutral position is their neutral role in the epic conflict between the Corsairs and the Outcasts.

Beside their neutral attitude towards everybody Zoners had to establish reliable trade contracts as well. The first of this kind was established with the Gas Miners Guild due to each side's satisfying experiences over the years, finally leading to an alliance that is flourishing until today. A second and very delicate alliance has also been forged, which is not completely undisputed among Zoners today: In the prelude of the Nomad War, Zoners were among the first who encountered specimen of these aliens. Never being involved into serious conflicts, thus unable to find quick solutions to this new threat, and feeling secretly responsible for the alien's spreading - it was a Zoner who was to be contaminated first - they appreciated the secret work of the legendary Liberty renegade Caspar Orillion. The Zoners had no choice but to support his work, called The Order, with logistics, financing and intelligence, and due to the fact that The Order was able to achieve a temporary victory against the Nomads, this alliance has lived on until today developing into a mutual exchange of technology routed through intermediaries in the enduring fight against these aliens.
In late 818 A.S the nomad threat has been increasingly high, and several reports have suggested that many of these alien crafts found another passage to zoner controled systems, most notably " Omicron 74 " Zoner's Guard system.
In April, 818 A.S, Without a defense millitary line, unable to retaliate, many as 450 passangers and spaceship operators were killed in a surprise attack on Freeport XV.
Unorginized, Individual zoners have decided to construct formable defense platforms to inspect traffic flowing from the Kappa system and defend vital Zoner installations. Many protests have been made all across the system by zoners who demanded complete protection and security both inside and outside the system, regardless of the alliance with The Order. This unpleasent outburst opened the possibilty to create a millitary body that will protect zoners and the zoner's way of life.

RE: [Z]oner- Information + #Feedback ( Unfinished) - Narcotic - 04-06-2013

Yet another Zoner group. However, why not. Competition is good.

Just a few hints:

- Keepers don't exist anymore (changed to K'Hara). But maybe exchange it with "Nomads" in general.
- I wouldn't call any faction "allied" before having RP'd with them, discussing an alliance. I'd put them under "friendly".
- About your goals: Zoners don't really 'destroy' anything or behave like a "Omicron-Police". Leave that to the Order/Core.
- That logo. Did the (]o[) Omicroners allow you to use it? I'd suggest you to create an own.

- I'll comment on the lore once it's 'finished'.

Answering your helpful hints

We have been here for awhile, though i guess research isnt your strong point!

Just a few hints:

- Keepers don't exist anymore (changed to K'Hara). But maybe exchange it with "Nomads" in general.

This is the only statement i agree with.

- I wouldn't call any faction "allied" before having RP'd with them, discussing an alliance. I'd put them under "friendly".

As for these listed, i suggest you look at these group's and see that they are as explained our Brother's and Sister's aswell as the history is logged our natural allies...

Next time read everything!


- About your goals: Zoners don't really 'destroy' anything or behave like a "Omicron-Police". Leave that to the Order/Core.

We can police our own Bases, Ships and Zoner/Gaurd Systems, this is sadly mis-understood, we are not here to be punching bags for any idiot with a ship and guns.

- That logo. Did the (]o[) Omicroners allow you to use it? I'd suggest you to create an own.

Sadly the logo as you pointed out isnt just for Omi residents but all Zoners, please read your history! It is infact the Zoner Flag, ask any original TAZ/OSI member who sat on the Zoner Council before it was dissolved due to political issues. So the Logo as you call it can be used by any Zoner.

- I'll comment on the lore once it's 'finished'.

again another statement which is true but sadly what can i say but you didnt read everything before voicing an uneducated comment!

This is Tr'i Udent...ending transmission

I'm not sure I get the bit about a zoner being the first to be contaminated...
But as I know its a work in progress sounds good so far...

RE: [Z]oner- Information + #Feedback ( Unfinished) - Eonaros - 04-06-2013

I consider this RP sufficient enough for your group and I'll support you as much as I can.

Consider me one of your recruits.

Good luck.

I changed my mind.

RE: [Z]oner- Information + #Feedback ( Unfinished) - Zen_Mechanics - 04-06-2013

Updated, still needs some work though
Next : Story ( already in finishing stages ) , Regulations , Courses of Action + The Law.
Thank you there Smile

RE: [Z]oner- Information + #Feedback ( Unfinished) - Omicron - 04-06-2013

It is Phoenix, not "Pheonix"

I do not think making a law within Omicron 74 is good idea, unless you have support of above mentioned who still INRP control Livadia.

Next thing... what do you mean by protecting Zoner way of life? "Zoner navy" never settled here, for good reason.

RE: [Z]oner- Information + #Feedback ( Unfinished) - UK1 - 04-07-2013

Whats this about moving the weapon platforms 2.4 km away from the kappa jump whole...

Hum maybe if things cool off a little with our neighbours....

But looking good so far Tel-Aviv and if I haven't said it already thanks for all your hard work on behalf of all
of our group...

They have shown their support regarding this.

There's a first time to everything
and we make sure the mistakes of the past does not repeat itself, you know.. da zonerzonerzoner, the war with the corsairs..
