This actually seems to be in my favour on that argument.
For the history of why they're no longer in an alliance, Dratai is correct that contact wasn't established for quite some time. It was just over 100 years after Manhattan-fall for the Einstein to reach Rheinland from Liberty (given they had the DK-inspired engines), then another ten to get to Bretonia from there and twelve to reach Kusari. While it dropped FTL comm buoys on its journey to allow contact to continue, it was almost another 100 years or so before the jump gates allowed any serious sense of external trade and about the same again before the trade lanes brought it to similar levels we have today.
That's around 300 years for houses to develop, and while they were friendly enough for most of the time (before the campaign, the 80 Years War was the only serious conflict in Sirius) they were not interested in becoming a large superstate again, with little need to.
It was only the recent discovery and development of the Tau Sector and Nomad research/technology that caused the Bretonia-Kusari and Liberty-Rheinland wars respectively - neither of these problems will go away any time soon, and neither will the power of Gallia. Another group telling them not to fight isn't going to do all that much. As was said, if you focus on one house too much you'll be slowly disliked by their opposite. Not really to do with Nomad influence after the war was over, humanity will always find something to kill each other over.
I didn't mean anything against the SCRA or K'Hara, simply that they are single factions compared to a house of them to have activity to work with.
For tech, fairly sure it'll be your tag that makes people recognise you! Either way, "generic ship with codes" isn't exactly a unique presence on the server when we've got every Freelancer who signed up to a bounty board ever...
Oh and for this:

Less "off-course" and more "engines blown to pieces by Coalition saboteurs". "Not every one" is definitely correct, given about half of them went to Crete instead of Malta and are now known as the Corsairs.
Yes, much of what you say is true, just to clean my reputation - I was saying that it is completely ok to invent an "alliance movement" comprised by.. a,b,c - perhaps many people still believe in the unity of the past and who therefor group up and start.. doing.. what they are supposed to do - i just wouldn't dismiss it just because there are "houses".
