Indeed, the way it was explained to me is that Zoners more have their own little militias which in theory could band together should they choose. But in general each Zoner group/station would have their own small Fleet which may or may not comprise of a cap or 2 as a defense. Freeport 11 and Zoner bases in the Omicrons would may have more due to the hostility of the system but ya they do exist. And maybe getting a couple Cap ship bases up might be a plan for the future
