The Contari Lance - CL}

[Haste]

Hrm. Hard to choose for me whether I would want CL} or 101st as "the" official faction for the 'Casts.

I've had good interactions with CL}, despite only playing an "OC antagonist" character. You still owe me that favour, Alessan.

However, just yesterday I had a very fun roleplay encounter with a 101st pilot.

As for your attitude towards the 101st: I haven't seen it in "first person", but it doesn't sound like a great way to get along. Fact is, you being there to challenge the 101st is healthy for them - it'll either force them to go out and do something, or result in your more active faction (possibly) taking over. You should both view it as a challenge, and more importantly, a form of *friendly* competition. ooRP hatred is never a good thing.

Oh, and this:

Just as Corsairs have bunch of official factions to them, just as there are all kind of Zoner flavors. Outcasts need two/three official factions to them.

The way Outcast and Corsair society "works", multiple "influential families" and organizations fit it perfectly fine. I would consider it a loss if 101st lost their status, just like I would consider it beneficial for you to gain official status (although I do think it's too early to make that call, really). Why not have the best of both worlds?
