Esteemed officers and pilots.

As you all may know, myself and my crew hail from the Core and we were there to witness the end of Zoner and Core hostilities. Unfortunately, we were there not only to witness, but also to participate in said hostilities as well.

Allow me to break some illusions you might have about the Zoners.

Not every zoner is a harmless civilian without any combat training or expertise. About half of them are trained ex-military combatants - pilots, marines and officers alike. They manufacture capital ships of various types and sizes that are more than capable of putting up a fair fight. They have the numbers to outfit such ships with full-sized crews. Now, that doesn't necessarily make them justifiable combat targets, but the fact that they chose to house and protect domestic terrorists from justice, the fact that they chose combat when Operation "Pesticide" came to be, the fact that their flagship openly assaulted our very own Battleship Alma - all what I just described, not only does it make them collaborators of our sworn enemy, but also war criminals in general, and therefore they have made targets of themselves.

Now, that doesn't mean that every Zoner should be a viable combat target. Let us not become the likes of Liberty Vice or the First Armada and use any excuse to become savages on the battlefield and outside of it alike - you must choose your targets wisely. Assert the situation, see if the Zoner in front of you poses any threat to you or your allies, question them and escort them out of our space. But if you see a Zoner who is more than willing to shoot you - make no mistake and fight them back. Cripple them, teach them a lesson, spare their life if their judgement isn't clouded by delusions of grandeur.

A title of a Zoner is an ambiguous one. No one faction unifies them all - even if there are groups of them, like Med Force Enterprises and Omicron Supply Industries, every zoner is a character of their own past and reasons to abandon the civilization of a house. Shall it come to violence - feel no remorse, for a zoner in your crosshairs might also be a fugitive. And it's fugitives, outlaws and agents for those with ill intent towards the stability and security of our house who would be more than willing to take any opportunity to put sticks in our wheels.

A civilian who picks up a gun and uses it against the law swiftly becomes a danger to society.
