Due to recent events within the Zoner Alliance, the need for us has come to the end. I wish to commend every one of you for the valiant defense your provided of your homes and your families. The fight has been long and hard, culminating in the defense of our great installations of Freeport 1 and Freeport 15. You all fought with ferocity and tenacity that proved to many that we were not just push-overs, that we would stand and fight.
Yet, a heavy toll has been laid upon the ZDF. Victories were won, and losses were had. For every ship we lost, we took many with us. Yet, it was more than we could handle logistically. We were hard pressed as it was for funding, and the road was tough managing the fleets. We no longer have the supplies nor the equipment to continue on.
Thus I say, This is your Admiral, Gideon Ravenor, ordering all ZDF personnel to stand down and that the ZDF as an organisation is now disbanded. Yet, rally the forces at your individual stations and continue to protect your homes and family. Find support in your allies and friends about you. Remember, we Zoners have no reason to stand alone against any storm.
The High command will remain as advisors to any station that wishes to form their defensive wings and will offer any assistance in training and logistics.
Once again, it was more than a pleasure and an honor to have fought along side you all.
Ravenor Out!

Me and my crew of the Votum wishes to congratulate you for a job well done and that the EDF as a whole have been honored to fight by your side, and by the side of all Zoner Defence Forces..
During the recent actions against the Zoner populace the ZDF have been nothing less then guardian angels, defending the Zoner members..
We are saddened to hear of this glorious organisations disbandment, and we off the EDF will continue to defend what we can against.. Hostiles..
Admiral Ravenor, I understand your reasoning now. I bid you and your men a fond farewell, it was a short time, but It's been an honor and a pleasure. I promise you, we'll put our resources to finding a way out of this for you all.
Gallia will pay

Admiral, no matter what will happen, no matter if there is no more Zoner Defence Force or Zoner Alliance at all. We're still on duty here. Exploration Command will continue the work.
Eventhough it was a short time Admiral it was a pleasure for me and my crew to serve under your command.
I do intend to keep the Zoners Expeditionary Fleet alive and hopefully Commodore Helfari wishes to help me do this.
I extend the Invitation to anyone wishing to have a common ground for the Ex-ZDF personal that wish to remain under Commodore Helfari's
Command if he agrees to this.
To High Command. Its been a Pleasure serveing under you.
Safe Flights, Good luck and God Speed in the Future.
"It was a deep honor to return to my station as Commodore of the Omicrons during the hectic period, and to serve under you, Admiral. I've learned that not even I have to carry the weight of Freeport's defense alone, that there are good people still within the Zoners Guard who want peace for our people. In the end, we all knew this was only temporary. I will be here if you ever need me again, Admiral sir. Though refer to me as Captain now, never enjoyed the posh title of Commodore anyway. We should have a drink on '11 sometime in the near future, when things die down for both of us, and that goes for any Zoners Guard who served with me. I owe you that much to be social once in a while. Zoners Guard Captain, Izii Helfari, over and out."
