As of the receiving of this transmission, due to recent tensions with the Corsair Empire
all non-Zoner traffic will be forbidden to Freeports 5, 9 and Corfu Base. Any non-Zoner
ships currently moored at these Freeports have 18 hours to disembark. Once the 18 hours
have expired, all non-Zoner ships seen docking or "basing" off of these Freeports without
permission will be put on report and disallowed docking with all Zoner bases, no exceptions.
We do not wish to alienate peaceful visitors or allies, but circumstances deem we must take
these actions. We ask for your patience and understanding while we work to keep our Freeports
safe and secure for both Zoners and non-Zoners.

Be advised that the Mandalorians will immediately proceed to respect the wishes of our hosts, and will depart the abovementioend bases.
We do not wish to create severe political difficulties for our Zoner friends.
Please be aware that we may not be able to contact all our pilots in time, and therefore some stragglers may not meet the 18 hour deadline. I trust you will be understanding if that arises. I remain
*****opening zoner wide comms*****
*******comms link established******
I have some concerns, Upon informing individuals of our blanket no dock policy, The response has been very negative. Our Friends who have nothing to do with the issue are taking hostile stances against the imposition.
I Had on Indicate he was going to blow me out of the sky and dock anyway, When I informed him that the administrator would not allow his docking after blowing me out of the sky, He left very upset.
Another local who had been hanging around assisting with FP security has since also left rather upset about your blanket no docking order.
Then There was a zoner attacking an outcast who was attacking a Corsair outside the FP, The zoner allowed the Corsair to dock at the FP
RoS was one upset group
I think the other was Order. He Vanished off my comms list after a total ship wide blackout, But he and his freinds were very upset, If i remember his words correctly, they were things like....
It is with great pleasure that I announce all Freeport lockdowns lifted.
Regular operations may now resume with the blessings of the TAZ, OSI
and the Confederation of Southern Freeports.
We thank you for your patience.
As a reminder, please take note of the standard Freeport policy, especially
the prohibition of basing on Freeports without prior permission from the
relevant Freeport Administrator.
Perpetrators may face harsh consequences in disobeying Freeport policy.

Hi hope you are doing well.
With the cancellation of the freeports lockdown I assume the negotiations with corsairs are almost over if not finish yet.
I would have some questions: could you confirm the members of the Confederation of Southern Freeports are FP5, FP9, FP15, and Corfu.
Also, are that the final terms negotiated with corsairs:
Quote:* Zoner bases within the confederation shall not be used to stage attacks on factions that are not enemies of the Zoners
* Zoner bases within the confederation shall not be used to base from for acts of piracy.
* Zoner bases shall not be used as a point to which to retreat, seek shelter or dock, following an attack which the retreating person(s) has(have) launched.
* A No Fire Zone of a 5 k sphere around each base will be upheld at all times. (Ships who are already in combat and fleeing into this zone are free to be targeted. Do NOT drag your conflicts into OUR home)
Penalties for violation of the above may include destruction of the offending ship(s), denial of docking rights for the offending ships, or denial of docking rights for the factions of said offenders if those factions show a continued trend of violations.
And finally, how is the situation with corsairs? will they let us alone? I've heard rumours saying the Brotherhood was not part of the corsairs empire, was the Brotherhood participating to the negotiations and will they leave us in peace too?
Also, I've heard some zoners are still involved in fights against corsairs so I guess some corsairs may have attack zoners. If I am attacked by a corsairs, should I report it to any authority?
To your first question, the members of the Confederation of Southern Freeports are:
Freeports 1, 5, 9, 15 and Corfu Base
And to your second question, the situation with the Corsair Empire has reached a close
and we are in agreement with their established powers including The Brotherhood.
As it stands we should not getany trouble from them unless we are lax in our action
toward enforcing our standard Freeport Policy, which you have outlined in your transmission.
I am also aware of a number of Zoner independents continuing to fight Corsairs. The same
can be said for the other side as well. Neither is sanctioned by the whole and if it gets
out of hand then I will call for more drastic measures to bring it to a close. The Corsair
Empire and the Zoner representatives agreed not to let the outlying independents to influence
peace with the majority and we have agreed to take measures on both our ends to help dissuade
further hostilities.
I hope that this answers your questions. If there is anything else then I will be at your disposal.
