Greetings Zoners,
As we both know the attitudes you have towards my organization vary between individuals and groups. Whilst some can be considered cordial, in other areas there's animosity.
I am sending this transmission as I have realised your situation within the Edge Worlds, specifically Omicron Delta. We had noticed for years how the Corsairs had been so casually abusing the Zoner population, so we muscled in to deal with the problem. After the capture of Yaren, we thought we had finally succeeded and we'd be able to address your sovereignty and focus our attention to protecting you from the Nomad threat. Unfortunately and unsurprisingly, The Order had to stick their noses in and get in the way of that.
Although the period of bloodshed has lengthened due to their meddling and will most likely continue to lengthen until we push them out, we still want to keep to our original objective of establishing peace and happiness in the Edge Worlds. The nature of Zoners is to establish new lives in far off space away from the chaos of the Houses, yet ironically you have wound up in the thick of conflict. With The Order homing in on Omicron Delta, no doubt they have already begun to abuse the Zoners just like the Corsairs did. I do not know how long it will be until the Order destroys Freeport 11 under a half-backed excuse - such as there being an infected presence within the station - as justification to push it out of their way. But at least having a fall-back plan in the event that happens will be a good measure.
I want to help ease this and reduce the loss of Zoner lives as much as possible. It is my commitment, no, it is my calling. Most likely you know of the abandoned depot within Omicron Lost. Working alongside the Zoners, The Core would be willing to help re-build that depot into a Zoner outpost, away from the conflict and danger of Omicron Delta. We do not want to gain anything else out of it other than gratitude and perhaps different degrees of support towards securing Omicron Delta from The Order and the Nomads. I would offer allowing Zoners presence on Nauru, but as we lack a docking ring we cannot ensure a 100% safe method for getting you onto the Planet.
My pilots have also informed me of how an Order battle-group intruded into Omicron-74 recently. Although my pilots were trying to do their jobs and protect the Zoners of the system, the Order selfishly attacked them, blockading their attempts to help. If it is any consolation, in future I will allocate my pilots to protecting the sovereignty and security of 74. You are denizens of the Edge Worlds, and thus have every right and reason to be protected and respected.
I am also sure that Zoners of a scientific and technical nature may be interested in assistance from my organization. We can gather you materials, as well as help you with your research.
It is likely that some of you would like to bring up the topic of how my pilots treat the laws of your installations. To put your mind at ease, I have already begun negotiations with the Administrator of Freeport 11.
Not only will we make the Omicrons peaceful and free of evil, but we will improve your lives. Gloria aeterna.
