Are there any RP-pure factions?

[Corsair]

I've recently had to downgrade to a computer that can barely putter Freelancer along. As such, most of my combat factions are now out, because large-scale combat lags crazily.

So, are there any player-factions out there that are low on the combat scale, but high on interactivity? I'm thinking some kind of Zoner, but I really, REALLY, don't want to trade. I'm cruising around on my OS&C right now for my RP fix and getting some side cash.
