Welcome Zoners from all over Sirius!

Freeport 101, Omega 9 system

Ted Prescot, the owner of Freeport 101 in the highly contested Omega 9 system has announced his stepping down as administrator of Freeport 101. He is calling for any Zoner confederation to take control of its administration and upkeep. Unfortunately he has also made this offer to the IMG guild as well, so It is our hope that a Zoner organization takes control of Freeport 101 as all Freeports should always remain in Zoner control.

His announcement came as a shock to many, including the academy as Mr. Prescot has always been a friend and ally to the Academy, and we sincerely hope that he will reconsider. Mr Prescot has said that though he will be stepping down from active management, he will remain as a lesser administrator to the station.

Cadet Shipyard News

This week we had two new graduates from the academy, we would like to congratulate Moldoveanu` and Kirkilo, each was given an Osprey with 25,000,000 million credits to start them on there path to Zoner independence. We wish them well on there journey.

In other shipyard news, Zoner Academy would like to thank DivineKiller for his generous donation of a Eagle VHF. The new fighter is now available to new graduates of the Academy.

Most active Zoner faction in the last 30 days?

One of the duties of our reporters that are deployed all over Sirius is to monitor the activity of all Zoner ships and Zoner Factions to gauge the activeness of the zoner community. This month once again "The Phoenix" take top honors as the most active Zoner faction in all of Sirius.

We would also like to send a special Congrats to [TAZ]The.Twenty-third of the "Temporary Autonomous Zoners" for being the most active pilot of any Zoner faction with (\^/)Eros from "The Phoenix" coming in second. You inspire Zoners everywhere with your dedication!

The Academy has a new home.

As reported earlier, The Academy has acquired a colony ship for its new home and was in the process of transferring all assets to this new ship. We are pleased to announce that this transfer has been completed and we are now fully resident in our new home. We can now house all 1,800+ of our students comfortably with nature domes for recreation, new state of the art classrooms and modern living quarters.

After the unfortunate indecent of taking heavy damage when our previous home was attacked by two AI cruiser ships with "PRIME" tags, it was deemed necessary to move to a more armored and protected home. This move will allow us to provide greater protection for our young charges.

Phoenix R&D department

We would like to welcome Rachel Winterton from the Phoenix Research and Development Department as the new head of our Science Department, Professor Winterton has proven to be a great addition to our Academy and is reflected in our students sudden increase in test scores.

We would also like to thank the Phoenix Research and Development Department for accepting our request and look forward to a long friendship and cooperation between our organizations.
