Notice: Zoner Militant ID, Zoner ID

[Roman.Scott]

The whole attack anyone and pirate anyone in Bering for any reason they want is a bit OP in my opinion. I had a FP2 isn't trying to kill you so I should maybe kill you encounter which was ridiculous.

[Croft]

Zoner pirates? That is a rather dangerous precident.

I guess you mean that CoF administrator roleplayed by Croft, tasked with the administration of Freeport 2, eventually betraying the CoF, teaming up with unlawfuls with his own Rat Pack and renaming the station to Freeport Providence. That would fit Shinju's claim of only a single member of the CoF wanting to do this, unless she meant someone else beside him.

To clarify, I had no control over Freeport 2 as Jimmy or as a story team developer. In fact my initial request was to admin Freeport 10 to avoid the situation, yet in twist of poetic irony Jimmy was offered Freeport 2 by the CoF. The fallout caused quite the stir which at the time I thought would make Bering an interesting system, its a shame all the grand schemes never materialised.

So, what is the official story?
Did the zoners left Freeport2 or were they assaulted by pirates?

The peaceful inter house zoners got harassed and coerced out of the free port by the pirates, without much actual violence. The rough beard zoners from the edge worlds got angry at the outcome, and have made their way into Bering to enact the Zoner Thug Life.

Nope.

It's the Zoners of Bering all alone who want to retake FP2. Edge World zoners have zero to do with this.

So, what is the official story?
Did the zoners left Freeport2 or were they assaulted by pirates?

Freeport 2 sustained itself and its population by being a midpoint for traders travelling between Texas and Hamburg. The Zoners there would sell supplies, repairs and food to passing ships while lawfuls of both colonies kept the system relatively safe, they also sold spare food to the planets in the neighbouring systems.
Once the Hamburg gate was destroyed and Gallia encroached upon California, Bering became a deadend system with almost zero lawful presence besides a handful of hardened bounty hunters. Gradually the unlawfuls who visited the Freeport became more frequent, the population balance shifted from mostly lawful to decidedly unlawful.

With their main source of income removed and their new visitors less than civil, the majority of the Zoners began to leave for greener biodomes which tipped the scales further until the station was taken over entirely by pirates. Some Zoners who didn't mind the unlawful rule remained aboard while those who resisted were probably thrown out of an airlock, if they were lucky. Now the pirate colours fly (metaphorically speaking) over the Freeport, welcoming every scumbag and crook to a silce of true freedom.


It does raise the question of why the Zoners are attempting to regain control of it, considering the circumstances of the system haven't changed yet.

Those, who - according to the Freeport's infocard - voluntarily left the station before that... right?

[Sombs]

They got forced off their homes and are now mad at the pirates. People do stupid things when they are bored or angry, the Zoner Militia is a perfect example in this case.

Good Luck trying to wrap your head around it croft, I already said it makes zero economic sense for zoners to retake the Freeport

The real reason is official factions can power game other official factions with zero input from their representatives, which is a nice change, right?
