What if Freelancer had a zombie apocalypse?

[Jonas Valent]

As much as I love Zombies. I could only see something like this as a Local event. Yes a planet might get infected but how would the plague spread from there. No Zombie has the mental faculties to fly an Interstellar ship and hence the plague couldn't spread. Granted there might be a case or two of zombies reaching other planets on transports already enroute but that would be the extent of it. Once the other parts of Sirius catch the news of the plague it would be quite easy to identify any zombie who did miraculouly end up at the cockpit of a ship.
Just look for the pilot talking about eating brains. Pew Pew Zombie dead (again)
