Regarding the Core's purchase request of 74

[Malcolm_Reynalds]

I could see it happening.

If the Zoners do in fact "move out" entirely from the system, They could relocate the Zoner Guard system to Omega 50. it's next door to the only Zoner planet, it's not a major non-Zoner trade hub, and Zoners already have 2 bases there. Personally, I think it would make more sense to have the guard system near GC than in the omicrons. Besides the fact that with the Gallic advance Zoners may need their fleet base closer to the front.

If we are going to leave the recent Zoner-corsair conflict in the MOD's RP, then it could be part of a cease fire agreement. Zoners give up FP9, and relocate from Omicron 74 to Omega 50. in return the corsairs vacate any presence in Omega's 49 and 50. (doesn't make sense to me either having that many corsair patrols on the wrong side of hessian space.)

So if Omicron 74 ceases to be the Zoner guard system, Then the Core could be free to try relocate their fleet base there.
