Greetings to all.
After reading several comms i have a proposal to make. The main problem of the Zoners is the how his territory is sparse around Sirius, so i have this proposal to make.
It is time we Zoners be organize and become one free nation, under a true freedom flag. Instead having many bases around Sirius, we can have few and two Core systems. Baffin on the north and Omega 49, with Planet Gran Canaria has our home world and Omega 50, and since the Zoners Trading Consortium want to leave Omicron 74, we really leave Omicron 74. Some few nuclear devices on the bases power core should do the job.
So this is my proposal:
Omicron Theta
If the corsairs want Theta, let then have it. In exchange they will stop the aggressions againt the Zoners, end the so call "anarchist" and give us Mindelo base on Omicron 50 and evacuate your colonist from Gran Canaria. Also is to be agree full passage without docking rights of transport and military vessels from both sides on the these systems: Omega 5, Omega 41, Omega 47, Omega 49 and Omicron Theta. Freeport 5 on Omega 5 will continue as a advance outpost for Zoner's ship that want to go to the Omicrons or Sigmas systems.
Omicron Kappa
The two planets there, Gammu and Primus will have full control of then self, we never were a colonial power there but is time to then be alone and judge their actions by then selfs
Omicron Delta
My dearest base Freeport 11, should be given to the Order. Yes we will leave this part of the Sirus, because is too far from the main systems, but we will return some times for trading and help our Order friends on the fight against the Nomads. Is fair that the Order have a base on Delta, this way the three remaining powers there will have their base, Order, Corsair and Bounty Hunters. Also Freeport 11 main fuction was the iridium commerce that we had with the corsairs, cooperation that ends
Omega 3
If Bretonia want Freeport 1, let then have it along if we have safe and full trading and military passage without docking rights, except on Cardiff Mining Facility on Cambridge. Why? We still need to pass to go to Baffin and the two Freeports, 6 and 10, on the Taus systems.
Pennsylvania
We really don't need it. After the corsairs leave Gran Canaria, we will have a lot of space to the remains zoners on Erie, and we don't need Bethlehem Station. Liberty can have along they give us full trading and military passage on their systems, because we still need to pass to Freeport 2 on the Bering system, Freeport 14 on Yokun and Ames Research Station on Kepler.
This is my proposal. I think that all will win with this. All remain Freeports on the border worlds will continue to have the same fuctions so, to those that don't have too many places to dock, those bases still gonna be freeports to all.
May I ask? The Zoners originally aimed to be a home for everyone trying to get away from the Five Houses or any other group of individuals or factions - I dont quite understand how that matches with your proposals of, for example, giving up Freeport 11 "because it is too far away"?
The Zoners very aim _is_ to be far away.
Sorry for intercepting your transmission, but I felt there was no better place to adress this matter. Feel free ot remove this Attachment if you want your Channel to remain clean.

Even if we were to accept this proposal, it would be utterly useless. Bretonia doesn't have interest in Freeport One. If we did we would've landed marines on the station to take it over. We haven't. Nor would we give free military passage to your vessels. Our policy would remain the same regarding foreign military powers.
No deal on our end.

Mister Mario,
All due respect, what you're proposing is exactly what got the Zoners into the situation we are currently. The actions of a few, because we were confederated, was translated to the decision of the many, and we all paid for it. It is why both OSI and the TAZ dropped out of the Zoner's Alliance and why it subsequently crumbled.
As an individual, speaking for no group but myself, I do not wish to be a part of any further alliances. I chose to be a Zoner because I enjoy exploration and being in deep space. I care about no Freeport other than my current home on 14 in Yukon, and frankly, what each Freeport does is none of my business.
Your intentions are noble and admirable, but examine the situation in which got us here before you continue. I do wish peace and prosperity to all of my brethren, but it is not the place of other Freeports to be involved in my home's politics, nor is it mine to another.
Let Zoners be Zoners. Let us pave our own way and do what we will. I do not wish to once again be responsible for the actions of others when they do not share my interests, nor do I wish for others to be able to dictate my diplomacy.

We don't need no stinkin' government! The Alliance caused us enough problems. Me, I left the Houses to get away from that nonsense! All them weaklings, so scared and pampered, have to run off to the police for every little thing! Can't even grab a ship and protect themselves, much less their homes. Real Zoners ain't like that. We can take care of ourselves, not run off hiding behind some big government like a bunch of scared Housies!
Why, you ask? 'Cause we're Zoners. We're the original real men.
Very well then. So be it. The war will continue. For me being a Zoner is to have free choices, if you want to make this choices so do it. The so call Zoner Alliance was a several groups of zoners, and not one group, and being several groups never were united. I proposed one group, and a peacefull way to end this! But i was wrong! Many more inocent will die! I will do my best to protect then but nothing more!
Take care all
