Re: Zoner involvement in internal conflicts.

While the council does not control the actions of independant Zoner groups and ships, I think it is premature for any Zoners to get involved in an internal dispute among the Order. We have recieved no official request for assistance from the Blacksquadron command staff, nor has the council voted, decided, or even discussed this matter. These kind of events can threaten our neutrality if people see us running around shooting an enemy of the Order. Their other enemies may be concerned about us aiding them Order in more than just their renegades.

Furthermore, this can bring a threat to our Freeports if we were to hunt and harm this rogue Order ship. Friends of the crew may feel compelled to avenge them, and if we fail to deal with it permanently, the captain and his crew may decide to exact their own vengeance against us for interferring.

I think it is crucial that any involvement by members of the council be postponed until a decision is reached, lest it harm us politically. Until this is discussed, we need to stay away from internal disputes, and keep the Freeport no-fire zones in effect, even for this renegade.
