To Zoners ans Concerned Parties:
From: Elder Sparta. Pirate King of the OPG
Great News! After days of negotiations and much hard work from all delegates an agreement has been reached.
OPG and Faction Zoners including the OSI, TAZ and Consortium have compromised on a number of issues. Zoners were concerned at the amount of Corsair violations within their NFZ which has been causing them serious diplomatic problems and threatening their Neutrality with other factions. As a demonstration of our general goodwill toward the Zoners OPG have agreed to ensure NO OPG will violate the NFZ and will respect ALL factions who use the zoners bases reasonably. Where violations occur we will report these infractions to the CoZ and await bounty posting before seeking revenge on those NFZ violators.
Zoners on their part accepted that it IS the OPG's soverign right to pirate all vessels traversing our Omega space. To ensure faction zoner profitability and OPG secondary needs at Cadiz are met zoners agreed to a number of shipments being delivered for our grand parties. Wine, Tobacco and Weed will be delivered. As part of this agreement we will limit piracy to 2 million credit per pass on all faction zoners.
Independant zoners will have to build up personal profiles with individual OPG and as such are still liable for a 50% cargo taxation.
OPG recently sent a wing to help defend the Corsair enclave at 49 who threatened the security of the NFZ and the corsair people within it. A sign that diplomatic relations have improved dramatically.
Again I thank the delegates from the CoZ and faction leaders who helped to make this agreement possible.
