Greetings esteemed Gentlemen and Ladies.
Now, first off, I do understand that some of you may dislike the others, but we have a greater issue at hand.
Over the recent past we have been getting increasing reports regarding highly increased amounts of activity around Freeport 11. Now, we Zoners love keeping that station open to all to use as a resting area and a place of refuge from the harsh conditions of the Omicrons. We also do enjoy that the company we allow on board and cater to can be from all these factions at once, and can manage to coexist on board. Yet, in space is a different story.
More and more have I been receiving reports regarding anywhere from minor altercations to full on fleet engagements happening with the No-Fire Zone that we Zoners have established at all Freeports. This NFZ is to provide a safety barrier in which we may be able to protect these sanctuaries that are available for all. Yet, the more often people violate it, the more often we will have to take actions.
Mind you, these actions are not done without warrant. Just this past month alone, Freeport 11 has sustained minor hull breaches and shields drains due to stray ordinance from these fights. Almost every single hit that Freeport 11 has sustained, only counting Human fired shots, has come about because of a fight happening within the NFZ.
Now, each of you in your respective high commands, I am not telling you how to fight your wars or whom to fight with. We in the ZDF wish to provide a safe atmosphere for all, while protecting the zoner way of life. Please, get a grip on those under your commands. Remind them of the regulations regarding ALL freeports, not just FP11. If more of these engagements occur, and more damage is accrued by the Freeports, I will be making a formal recommendation to the Zoner Alliance to start restricting access to these safe havens by those perpetrators. Please, do not make me file those reports, I rather enjoy your companies.
May we have some civility amongst the uncivilized parts of space.
Ravenor out!

I notice that you're referring to what's happening in Omicron-Delta while talking about things from your massive front line bunker right there where the action is ... on Gran Canaria.
Tends to give a certain ring of authenticity and power to your comments, doesn't it?
Of course, I can't do much talking, since I'm now pretty much relegated to staying at OUR command center and being the co-ordinator here since the loss of Guildmaster Graves' body. But at least until then, I was on the front lines out there every day.
Remember as well that you folks are the ones who said that if someone is getting attacked, the Freeports are no sanctuaries. The BHG|Core doesn't start any fights within 5K of a Freeport, and thus we respect the rules of your NFZ as you have laid them out. But as your command structure such that it is has said, if someone is being chased and they flee to a Freeport - the person fleeing is the one responsible.
After all, you are well aware of how hard the BHG|Core has worked to reduce tensions in the Omicrons, with the recent discussions that were held on Freeport 11 between myself and the representatives of the Corsair families, and with the positive results that came from there. Obviously any further tensions and lack of willingness to follow the rules of decency and civility must be coming from the uncultured barbarians.
I suggest you look there for your answers. You probably won't like the ones you receive, though.

I've made our stance on Freeport safety zones known. I have personally reported Outcast violations of the zone, and other Mirage agents have provided additional information about those violators.
Minister Santini will... probably... make a statement about the Freeport regulations sometime soon. But your laws will have no strength and no meaning if you do not enforce them. We should not have to be more visible than you in enforcing your laws.

Greetings Guild master.
First I'd like to state that this desk which attempts to bind me to it quite often, tends to be rather unsuccessful at times. I myself have a vessel in which is my personal craft. I use it quite often to keep the peace around Freeport 11. Furthermore, I am no child of ignorance and naivet? in the ways of warfare.
Nevertheless fine Guild master, I do appreciate you taking your time to address this message personally. Yes, if a person flees into said NFZ, it is on their head what happens to their own ship, and the damaged accrued to the station.
Yet, I would not be contacting the Guild's High Command unless I myself have personally witnessed various Core vessel not only instigating encounters within the NFZ, but also initiating them also. Mind you, I have looked over those exceptions as covered by the Zoner Alliance charter. I did at one point have evidence to this fact, but parts of our data storage cores have been lost to an unknown technical glitch. So, you will have to take my word on this matter, however valuable you may come to appraised as such.
Guild master, with all do respect, I understand that the majority of your guild understand the laws in which us Zoners place for the betterment of all. I have a high respect for the guild as well. Yet, it truly is those few whom cause problems, that ruin it for all. All I ask is that you please remind those whom operate with the spheres of any Freeport about our plight, and we will do our best to maintain the peace.
Thank you for your time. I look forward to a response should one be warranted.
At first, I would like to commend you and give you my deepest thanks for all those reports you have sent to the ZDF command regarding the NFZ violations. I have taken note of your involvement in keeping the peace, and I appreciate it.
With the deepest respect to both the 101st of the Outcasts, and you as a pilot, I would like to remind you that the ZDF is doing an exceptional job so far in patrolling the various Freeports. Yes, sometimes there is a lapse in the patrols that causes a decrease in security, but we cannot be everywhere at all times. We must do the best we can, with what we have.
We appreciate the Outcast willingness to assist in the matter of protecting these stations and a place of rest for all. Yet, there is always to very few that will cause problems for the many. I am not accusing any member of the 101st as being breakers of the NFZ. Yet, there are some outcasts who either do not know regarding these regulations we have established, or willingly choose to disobey them. I would rather like the believer the former.
With all due respect to both the Outcasts and you, I would ask that you remind those other Outcasts, whom may be either ignorant or naive to our regulations, of the code of conduct regarding the Freeports.
Once again I apologize for the lapse in Zoner security around our installations. I thank you for your time and your response to the original message. I will look forward to a response if one is so warranted.
Ravenor out!

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. With our ranks comes the authority AND the responsibility, something that the regular rank and file don't quite understand.
Guild policy is that we respect and honor the No-Fire Zone around all Freeports. You know that, I know that, and I think everyone including our enemies knows that.
Doesn't mean that there aren't the occassional idiots in fighters or otherwise out there - just means that their individual actions aren't sanctioned or approved. So if you need to do a whack-a-mole on their individual heads from time to time, so be it. The Order| pretty much operates the same way as we do - and they're our enemies. (I can respect them even if I want their toys, after all...)
Anyway, I think we're on the same page here. Have a great time.

[color=#FFFFFF]I understand your concern and indeed it is justified.
Order Primary Fleet and High Command has always shown nothing but respect
for your laws and it will stay like that.
I assure you Order is well aware of danger that comes with opening fire inside NFZ
and we have been avoiding that at all cost.
Even sometimes that meant letting go possible spies carrying important data.
Exceptions were made when Freeport 11 security was in question,
as Nomad meance was threatening Freeport itself.
Now I am aware that there has been cases
where Order was forced to open fire within NFZ as those pilots were under attack,
and self defense was neccessary for sake of their lifes.
That is situation where I can not go against my pilots, if you can understand me.
There have been other parties threating NFZ security with their actions, such as Liberty Navy.
In last week or so they have been breaching Omicron Minor security,
even Omicron 100 with their capitals.
When time has come to answer and face consequences for their actions
they found safe heaven within Freeport 11.
Certain name such as LNS-Providence comes to my mind.
His intrusions have been constantly based off Freeport 11 in last few days.
Of course O-Minor and O-100 intrusions are not your concern,
but minor detail such as basing off Freeport
might be reason for increased traffic activity around that station.
There have been some events which ended with engagements
within NFZ caused by other nutcases operating in those areas,
sadly their actions are sometimes impossible to track and control,
but they do not represent their affiliation's behaviour, or maybe sometimes they do.
But not Order ones, heh.
In any case
I will resent wide range transmissions within Order Communications Network
to remind our pilots about NFZ laws.
That would be all.

This has come across as surprising, I was not aware the Navy ever operated near your Freeport 11, why would you even send this communication in to Liberty anyway? I will respond on behalf of the Liberty Security Force, even though the Navy has no authority over us. We don't go anywhere near that installation, we have far to much to deal with at home than go sight seeing, anyway... Should we (However unlikely) be near your Freeport 11 we will respect the no fire zone as we do with any of the Freeports. That is all.

In the unfortunate event any LSF Agent or Captain belonging to the LSF Secondary Task Force violate the No Fire Zone Laws unnecessarily, please inform the LSF Command Directorate of the violators, their identifications and the evidence. The Directorate will take the necessary disciplinary actions to ensure such events do not occur again.
