The overlap is a bit of a concern we have as well, yes. In hindsight, having us run out to the Sigmas or Omegas may have been a better choice. Unfortunately I'm not terribly big on retcons, so unless that friggin uranium planet in Tau-44 (WHY IS THAT A THING) starts going critical, we've kind of anchored ourselves.
We intend to fill a somewhat different role than CR, which is admittedly a bit difficult to summarize (I guess the short form would be "black market CR", but that's a bit crude), and are generally less fight-happy than just about all of our neighbors. We still shoot more people than the Zoners of course, but for practical RP reasons we're taking an extremely defensive stance.
Of course, this'll work better when more people show up to actually talk to. We won't gank, promise!
