Zoners count as quasi-lawfuls and thus may be engaged by the Core.
It's not clear by that wording, as Zoners are NOT "considered hostile by the BHG Core within their Zone of Influence".
Note that the wording does not separate as a group "quasi-lawfuls" from house ships as far as the second condition applies, "considered hostile by the BHG Core within their Zone of Influence" applies to quasi-lawfuls as well as I read it, ESPECIALLY with this line:
"Can attack lawfuls, unlawfuls and quasi-lawfuls in self-defense, to protect an allied or neutral lawful ship, or in defense of Core bases."
If they have the right to attack any quasi-lawful at will, then there is no need for quasi-lawful in that line.
The fact is, the attacker did not justify his attack as "Core can attack any quasi-lawful", he justified it as "There is RP on the forum that Core and Zoners are at war". Prior to that RP war, were Core able to attack Zoners at will?
