Kinda what the others said, but to be more specific, the whole concept fails here:

This was the Zoners awakening. The Zoners began to use their vast sums of wealth accumulated over hundreds of years to build a fleet comparable to the strongest of the houses. Even with the diplomatic web intact, the Zoners knew that a day would come when it would all come crashing down, and they decided to be ready for that day.
You try to display Zoners as victims to give them a reason to arm themselves this much while it can't be further from the real truth.
Nobody gave a frack about Zoners when FP7 got blown up, all the major forces were occupied with their own conflicts (internal or with eachother; fueled by nomads of course) and the minor ones with the majors, and when they realized it was the nomads all along, they concentrated on them. Freeport 7 got blown up not to piss of Zoners, but because of that tinker toy ending up in the hands of Edison Trent towards the end of Vanilla campaign. If anyone would want to eradicate all Zoners since 800 AS, there would be no Zoners by now.
