Discussion Faction rephacked hostile: Order

[ProwlerPC]

GMG and Order have always gotten along fine throughout most of the much younger Order's history. It's been basically assumed that the Zoners were bringing GMG fuel to the Order. OSI, old memories, SigCorps (Chris) and I both were S/D members (which is now BHG|) and moved on to form factions of our own back in 2008. This was one of those supply lines that fell into his faction's intended RP. Funny enough he never considered it to be a Zoner faction but needed to use the Zoner ID's ZoI to accomplish his RP and always hoped for their own ID. In the end I suppose they got melded into the Zoners. Anyways I'm sidetracking. As head of GMG I've done diplomatic RP with each Order admiral since the Black Squadron leader stepped down and BS became Order|. They've come to meet me in our space and I've gone to meet them. GMG was even invited along by the Order to help them explore further into Omicron Iota thanks to our nebulae sensor technology. We've been allowed to heep copies of the data surveyed and have updated all their sensor tech.
I used to comment how I kept seeing new Order leaders until Golanski ended up finally being a long time leader and we've talked many times together about moving forward with relations. One of the most obvious pieces of evidence Disco has made since it's infancy that provides us with a precedent that GMG and Order have worked together is BD's Kagutsuchi. A ship designed by Order engineers, built by BD and paid for by GMG. You can bet as GMG space continues to expand outside of the clouds that it'll be looking for Order engineers itself in the future. If Zoners and Order have reached levels of hostility that has broken the supply line of fuel, it's a guarantee that GMG will begin investing in measures to overcome this obstacle. No different then if two houses go to war with each other, GMG won't care about their hostilities, GMG will still sell to their customers. An 'alliance' between GMG and Zoners wouldn't have any impact on GMG's decision. Not sure where the 'alliance' ever came from before anyways. Like the cap ships it was just suddenly there, I suppose the one time GMG mighta showed alliance was the Sair Zoner war thing but this can be attributed more to GMG's unhealthy grudge against Sairs and seeing an opportune moment to get in, kill, and get out during all the chaos. Omicroners is the only Zoner group as well as Med Force One that ever stepped up and defied the Kusari Emporer's blockades on GMG. The other's turned tail and even one of them chose to supply Samura with military vehicles and soldier weapons at Kurile. The best I can say of relations between GMG with Zoners is that 'it depends on which Zoner' and thus ultimately neutral. GMG won't care that Zoners are killing Order and will still sell to Zoners and it won't care that Order is killing Zoners and will still sell to Order.
GMG is allied to $$$. An organization or house who truly understands and appreciates this can control GMG reactions with impunity without GMG realizing. At this moment they will see an opportunity born from the Order/Zoner split, realize Order's needs, and profit from it in more ways then one. Investing into an infrastructure out into their space would be worth strengthening relations and milking engineers/tech from the Order and ultimately securing another important stepping stone in GMG's intended growth.
