Bs| is now Order| - Heartless - 01-22-2009
Fellow Discovery players,
it comes with great joy that I hereby announce Blacksquadron's name change to the Order.
We will no longer be known as just a squad within the Order, but the Order. Our faction post has been re-written and posted here, and this will con-incide with the Order council.
Blacksquadron. I am issuing an executive Order right now. This is the last order Wolfpack gave me when he resigned. the Bs| tag is to be removed from all ships and changed to Order|.
Please read it, give me alot of comments and critizism so I can fix it and then we can post it officially.
note, it is very similar to our older faction post, and .85 aspects have not been included, and we still own omicron 100 and have control over omicron minor like we've always had.
Now, for the presentation:

In 800 A.S, the defenders of a supposed extinct species known to humans as the Nomads, invade first the Rheinland house, and infest the leaders of the government. On a diplomatic envoy to visit the President of Liberty, the Rheinland diplomat is killed by a group of terrorists known only as The Order. After this event, Order agents are seen throughout serious committing what may seem to be terrorist acts. However their true targets are the attackers to humanity, the Nomads. The alien species has the capability to infect a human and presume control over its body. The plan; to turn the houses of Sirius against each other in order so that an attack by the Nomads can be successful. However in 801 A.S, the Order successfully manages to drive the Nomads back through an ancient jump gate they discovered, and since that day on, the Order has kept the aliens at bay and are ready defenders for all of humanity.
Leader of the Order was an ex LSF agent named Casper Orillion. Once he saw the problems rising within Liberty, he and a group of loyal followers stole Libertys new prototype warship, dubbed it Osiris and escaped into the depths of the Omicron systems, from where they launched their campaigns against the Nomads. To this day the Order maintains its home system in the Omicrons and has an influence in surrounding systems. While Orillion ruled the Order, which was in essence, fairly small at the time, a small wing of elite pilots led by Jonathan Pryde arose to fly high-risk and dangerous missions for the Order. Once the great leader of the Order, Casper Orillion, passed away, Pryde came into control and became Grand Admiral of the Order. Prydes group of elite fighters came into control of the Order and for ~15+ standard years, Black Squadron was ruling the Order, with only small amounts of Order members flying independently for specialized missions. Pryde passed down leaderships to a young man named Dustin Hoff, who commanded the Order for the most time out of any other leader. After his retirement, a rather quiet man, known only as Helljumper became leader. Helljumper however, ruled for the shortest amount of time, as he himself retired, leaving Adrian McKinley in command of the Order. This was 816 A.S.
By the year 816 A.S, the Order was no longer a small fleet controllable by one man. Members from all reaches of Sirius had joined, and the fleet expanded into the main body and various smaller forces. The Order had also discovered a new system within the Omicrons and declared it their home. Having established friendly relations with the Corsair and Zoner factions, as well as hostilities with the Liberty and Bounty Hunter factions, the Order became a larger body. Naturally, a power struggle began, as many believed no one man should be supreme leader of the Order. Seeing these tensions rising, Adrian McKinley resigned as leader of the Order, temporarily keeping the Organization without a head. Sius Malacos, McKinleys second in command, took action, and along with 4 other highly qualified members of the Order, created the Order High Command. This High Command, compromised of 5 members, took the role of the Orders leadership, as a more democratic form of government.
The first initiative this newly founded group engaged in was the creation of a primary fleet. This fleet would be the largest among the Order, and would be compromised of what was Black Squadron, as well as newer members who decided to join the fleet to do greater good. While smaller groups existed, the primary fleet was the bulk of the Order force, being the largest and most powerful fleet the Order had yet seen. The group operated out of Omicron 100, and was led by non other than Sius Malacos, the man who greatly helped in creating the Order High Command.

Commander
Major
Lieutenant

Rank Descriptions:
Fleet Admiral: The Fleet Admiral is the leader of the Order|. Only one person may hold this rank at once and has full authority over the rest of the fleet.
Mid Admiral: The Mid Admiral is also the right hand man of the Fleet Admiral. Only one person may hold this rank at once. In case of vacancy, the Rear Admiral will step up to occupy this position. High expectations, it all does pay off with the title of being an Order Admiral. This person should work close with the Rear Admiral to work on things in case the Fleet Admiral is on absence.
Rear Admiral: The Rear Admiral is the first Admiralty rank available to one person. Only one person may hold this rank at once, and expectations will rise above any in a previous rank. Chosen by the Fleet Admiral with confirmation of the fleet, the Rear Admiral is expected to be a person the fleet may go to for issues, and will have important duties to perform. However this responsibility will be aided with the commissioning of a Carrier ship if this person chooses to do so. Welcome to the Admiralty.
Colonel: The rank of Colonel. This is the last rank before an Admiralty position and will be the hardest to achieve. Less in numbers than any other rank available, expectations will be quite high as will their active duty. However all of it does pay off as a Colonel has essentially full access to the Orders arsenal. Their name should be well known among the Admirals, as any vacancy will be surely filled in with a Colonel.
Captain: Well into the ranks of the Order| a Captain is expected to stick to their rank and have a definitive presence in their capital ship if they choose to have one. Requirements to move on will be hard, but it will be all the worth.
Commander: Welcome to the 2nd tier. Your passing the requirements to come this far has shown your true worth in the Order. Less in number than any 1st tier rank, a Commander has special privileges such as permission to commission a large vessel. From here on out, requirements will rise, as will your expectations. Do not let the Order down.
Major: Congratulations. As a major you may equip yourself with a gunboat class vessel in addition to your mandatory fighter class vessels. Responsibilities will increase, and your actions will now have a more definitive influence as a person reaches their last position in the 1st tier.
Lieutenant: Having come this far, a Lieutenant has gained more authority. Knowing the Order like their ship, a more active role play presence is required and their characters should be somewhat well known in space.
Ensign: Upon having met the basic requirements, a pilot becomes an Ensign, at which stage they will be required to show their commitment to the Order and worth to move on in its ranks.
Crewman: This rank is provided to any person that wishes to join the Order| but does not have a properly tagged and IDd fighter and bomber.

Bs| is now Order| - Dopamino - 01-22-2009
Horrible name change in my opinion. You aren't the sole human representatives of the NPC faction, so calling yourself "The Order" is going to cause massive amounts of confusion. It works for the Phantoms because there is no suck thing as an indie Phantom.
Just let the record show that I vehemently disagree with this decision.
Bs| is now Order| - Heartless - 01-22-2009
well we're just showing that we're the primary Order fleet. Like how the SA became the LN and the QCRF the BAF.
we don't have total control over the order, the council thing will still "rule" in rp.
And I'm ready for all the flaming guys, bring it:)
Bs| is now Order| - Jamez - 01-22-2009
I prefer it as The Order. Black Squadron was a clan name, not a faction name.
Bs| is now Order| - Heartless - 01-22-2009
oh, and to add.
The whole background thing I myself think needs work.
Problem is, we looked at many sources and we were never sure what was real and what was just thought of but never put in game. I made a small history of how we came to be, but nothing about the Order since before the sp since that was all superstition.
edit- I am aware some indies use that tag or [Order] or whatever. But I haven't seen many of these guys on at all and I think it's just one person. And we'll find out who's actually in the faction and who isn't, so no worries there. We can work something out.

I think same than you on that point SwissScorch...............personally i think all faction should be named in that way,anyway,we dont want multiple official faction under the same tag.....do we want that?
Bs| is now Order| - Unseelie - 01-22-2009
Why is omicron lost an engagement system? Theres -nothing- there...
And, can we please put the Indies/Factions discussion somewhere else?
Bs| is now Order| - Lux - 01-22-2009
I'm afraid I have to agree with Jamez and Dopamino here. I don't like the name change at all. "But it's just a name," you'll say. Except that this name, along with the whole "Bs| IS the Order" stuff I've seen before, I dunno...
Also, the SA became the LN, sure. But there just aren't any other LN factions. Here, on the other hand, there are plenty of other Order factions. Just doesn't seem fitting to me. Not to mention all the debates and the like about Bs|. Can't you just pick another name?
Just my 2 cents.
Bs| is now Order| - Heartless - 01-22-2009
I was also wondering the same with Omicron's 90 and 99. The 4 systems the Order has npc's in is delta, minor, 100, and alaska. I just based it off of what made sence to me. And some systems have nomad stuff just no nomads so I guess it would make sence? idk, I'm thinking of the sp too.
Bs| is now Order| - Heartless - 01-22-2009
well the other Order factions...
the 42nd is led by Unselie and we've talked and they have a spot on the council so there was no objection there. the 122nd is just stewcool who's supported us the whole way and is also on the council.
Besides that that's about it. That's where the "primary fleet" comes in, and all these other factions are secondary, or special fleets like strike forces etc.
This is also the only official faction as to the unnoficial 42nd.
edit- also, before Bs| has assumed control over the Order, hence the Bs| IS the Order part... somewhat, now that's changed and it's in the background info of the faction post.
