I can probably tell life of a Corsairs can be very demanding with all the conflicts going on, life as a Zoner on the other hand will be certainly be a lot quieter for you as I can imagine. You would probably sitting around twiddling with your thumbs compared to your old job! Anyway, with your understanding and knowledge into the edge worlds, you would certainly be a great asset for us, not to mention your skills as an ex-pilot can be used to defend us from the nomads if it really comes to it.
I also understand you have acquired some Zoner ships including a Nephilim. As a rule of thumb in our family, even though the ship is classed as a Dreadnought due to its size, we rarely use such a ship in combat. We don't even use it to defend "no fire zones" as contrary to what you saw, unless it is a direct attack to one our our bases or to self protection as a last resort.
This is because we want to minimise ourselves of the liability and not to have our technology stolen by others if it were to be destroyed. Not to mention such a loss to resources if one were to be poorly handled or wrecked to enemies! While our members can fly it freely, we generally tend not to not over publicize it to the surrounding area.
If you understand our situation and agrees with our ways of living, please feel free to give us your S.K.Y.P.E protocol (privately if you wish) so we can link up. I will give you a further run down of what it likes to be a Phoenix and what we expect from both of us before joining.
