Overview

The Juggernaut class Jinkusu vessel first were designed as mobile Freeports that act as safe heavens to Zoners that would inhabit them, protecting them with their extremely thick hulls and generous amount of weapons. Now that the Zoners have settled everywhere in Sirius, some of them decided to mobilize one of these beasts to serve the population of Sirius. Contrarily to Freeports, the Jinkusu has a limited storage system and cannot efficiently serve as a trade outpost. Although, Freeport 18 is still able to distribute basic goods such as Food and Goods and to hand out Nanobots and Shield Batteries to pilot that needs them.

Even though it is possible for it to be mobile, Freeport 18 would rather buy commodities off from Freelancer and Independent traders to re-supply, rather than returning to another Freeport to do such. A No Fire Zone is also enforced nearby Freeport 18, although it is not managed by the Zoner Council.

Kusari Corporations and Cryer Pharmaceuticals expressed conerns about this new Zoner sation in the Sigmas, claiming that the crime rate of the sector would raise, but no survey confirmed this yet. Some also feared that it would attract the attention of the Nomads and that it would cause a second Freeport 7 incident, but the actual Commander of the Freeport, Sebastien LaHoue, states that there is no reason to fear such a thing. The GMG's feedback about Freeport 18 were mostly positive, even though a tragic accident within it caused the death of one of their men.

Actually, it is rumored that Freeport 18 wishes to open a Black Market Arms dealing within their facilities, but no investigations done so long proved this to be correct.
