The Zoner Guard ID says that Zoner Guards may escort traders.
Presumably, this means that they can escort both Zoner and non-Zoner trader.
However, the ID also states that the "Can only attack those who are : directly attacking Zoners or Zoner NPC faction allies, carrying Zoner pilots, diplomatically hostile to Zoners, or those who have violated Freeport neutrality ".
If someone attacks a trader that is not a Zoner or Zoner NPC faction ally, can a Zoner Guard escort open fire to protect the trader? Or do they have to sit there and watch?
For reference, here is the complete ID:
