(disclaimer: This is just an idea im throwing out here, if it has terrible reception which im sure it will please bear in mind I am not trying to form this or anything right now so please refrain from potential flames and/or insults. If you are going to post- please read the entire post plz. That will be all, good night)
A couple of days ago I thought of an idea for a faction called the anti-zoner syndicate. Its not far off what it sounds like really- A bunch of people opposed to Zoners, or more the power of Zoners.
Goals:
-To limit the power of the Zoners. (not complete annihilation or genocide god no)
-Enlighten the people of Sirius to the threat of the Zoners.
-Infiltrate and spy on Zoner activities.
Here is a more in depth deffinition of the above goals. 'Limiting the power of the Zoners' basicly means that this syndicate wants to remove the more militaristic entities of the Zoners- such as the Jinkusu and other Zoner capitals from Sirius. The syndicate is not outwardly opposed to Zoner merchants and traders. 'Enlightening the people of Sirius' means spreading propaganda against the Zoners around public places. Like a revolutionary group. 'Spying on Zoners'- they could RP like sneaking on Freeports and getting 'evidence' of Zoner invasion plans which are actually fakes and cool stuff like that.
Origin:
The origin of most of the people in this group would be mostly from trade groups, government service, and the Zoners themselves. They are not pirates- or were pirates. They are not doing it for the money.
Ships:
In terms of ships they would fly....id say civilian. Border worlds ships are too outcast, pirate, merc if you catch my drift. I was thinking it would be cool if they flew mostly Mafics and Rocs. No caps.
Diplomacy:
Hostile to Zoners. Neutral/self defence to House police/militarys. Neutral/self defence towards Outcasts. Unfriendly towards the Corsairs, Order.
Operation areas:
Anywhere were there is a large amount of Zoners (so not Liberty and the Houses except for spreading anti zoner propoganda) and Zoner bases.
Amagine this, a faction of bomber and fighters sneaking around sirius trying to turn people against the Zoners and take out their larger ships. Running on philosophys like "If they are friendly with everyone, why do they need heavy morters?" and making up lies about "massive zoner invasion plans on the houses"...
A faction that is polite and respectfull to law enforcement forces (which see them as hostile probably) and only fights them in self defence saying "listen to me! We are not the enemy!"...
So if you are thinking this would be a facshun lolwutting and killing Zoners for teh L0lz because PVP Z0n3r is cool OLOLOlrofl youd be wrong.
So, in conclusion: What do you think? What is your opinion? If everyone hates it yo ill just delete it from me brain. But if most people like it I might consider pursuing it further.
