OLD FACTION ALIVE

[Omicron]

Oldest Order| reference I could find was inaccessible for some reason but Here you go

Hearing from stories of older vets, I know that there was time when discovery community started to frown upon "individual faction lore" and demanded that factions should take role as carbon copy and guardians of NPC factions. Thus Black Squadron (tagged BS|) ditched its designation somewhen in 4.84 to become Order| of today.

Edit: Another remarkably old post.

As you can see, i have updated the faction diplomacy map. I construccted the graphics with information provided by some leaders and the FAction status thread. It is not accurate. Also, sme factions no longer exist.

I Call all factions leaders to report faction status before next monday 24 April.
Factions who fail to report here will be removed from the diplomacy map and the faction status thread.

Also, i need to know with exactitude the diplomatical situation of the factions. That should be included in the post too.

Current active factions are:

AW Asgard Warriors
8492 8492 Elite Squadron
AMAG Armageddon MAG
BH Bounty hunterz
BS| Black Squadron
CE Crimson Empire
CY Cylon
DVL Dessisive Victory Legions
NO New Order
NPG Nova Pirate Group
PHA Phantoms
RM Rheinland Military
SF Sirius Federation
TDK The Death Knights
TG Transilvanian Gladiators

All Off Topic post find here will be deleted on spot.

BS| looks like the contender.

IMG, seeing the oldest faction creation request

Nah. There are older factions. Before this model was implemented. I think the oldest living factions which were not disbanded are the following. I am not 100% sure though, since I joined Discovery in 2008.

1. Rheinland Military - [RM]
2. Lane Hackers - LH~
3. Liberty Navy - [LN]

[HF] predates LH~ and [LN]; =SA= was the Liberty Navy faction way back then (but they later became [LN] after merging with another LN faction, I think). While it has lost Official status before, the faction did essentially persist before regaining it.

BS| looks like the contender.

Also pretty old... very hard to get specifics; but definitely existed in 2006.


The correct answer to the OP's question is, as already stated, [RM] which has been roughly the "same" faction ever since 2006.

Oh wait, OP said “oldest faction still alive”... I guess Black Squadron isn't technically still going unless you count them as Order.

BS| never died/disbanded, just changed tag: Therefore it's the same faction. Furthermore, Order| is official ever since the very inception of idea of said official factions. So it will be either BS/Order or RM.
