Conflict Zones are temporary warzones that occur wherever factions are waging war or civil war against each. There are three types of Conflict Zones, denoting different concentrations of ships in combat: low intensity, medium intensity, and high intensity. Upon entering Conflict Zones are randomly populated with NPC fighter ships of the warring factions and players can choose to fight for a side via an interface that will appear in the message pane of the comms panel. Once on a side they will continue to communicate about the status of the battle: each enemy destroyed, allies destroyed, and when nearing victory or defeat. Apart from normal bounty vouchers for wanted ships, players have the unique opportunity to collect combat bond vouchers in Conflict Zones if they choose to side with a faction and battle the opposition. These combat bond vouchers can be redeemed at any local station in the .
