The Zoners

They´re a bunch of people who have decided to live outside of the constraints of being associated with a particular faction. They´re not so much a faction as a not-faction.

heheh...i dont think they even have ships.

they fly around the freeports in civilian ships. But they are just made up of other factions who didn´t want house control or obide by their laws. So they left to go to the Border and Independant Worlds

No detailed history? According to the game, the first Zoner base, Freeport 1 was founded in 761 AS (somewhere around that). Subsequent Zoner bases have formed in the border worlds, independent worlds, and edge worlds. Current Zoner Bases Freeport 1, Freeport 2, Freeport 5, Freeport 6, Freeport 7(destroyed), Freeport 9, Freeport 10, and Ames Research Station.

Zoner ships are also decently armed too<img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

They´re just not there. Perhaps they were destroyed ages ago, perhaps the numbers are set aside for future Freeports. I never came across anything concerning them

Freeport 4 used to be run by DSE while they built the trade lanes through Magellan. It was abandoned when the job was done and the IMG took over the place and named it Freeport 4.

HUH i thought oh now I know I´m confused DoN´T hATE ThE PlaYEr, HatE The GAmE. I hAte The DeSiGnER....... GoT VisuAl On BOgeY,KiCKinG His AsS....

Odd. it says Freeport 2 was founded in 650 AS.....

Freeport just means that all are welcome to land, provided you didn´t piss off the zoners (which is hard to do since they´re neutral with everybody). Therefore, the IMG using of the term &quot;freeport&quot; is incorrect. They´re just a bunch of folks looking to get as far away from the houses as they can. Also, there are wrecks of stations all over the place, maybe the missing freeports were abandoned or destroyed and are now floating arround sirrius somewhere. --- VH16 I am Nobody; Nobody is Perfect; Therefore, I am Perfect
