Thanks to Conrad I'm going to address your questions, but I won't get into any further argument with any of you three.
The 101st Maltese Spectres ever since the appearance of the Contari Lance shifted back into what their initial business was all about, that being exploration, infiltration, assassination and R/D. All whilst still being focussed on shielding the Nacion. Caused by some irregular issues with the Contari Lance, we were not able to properly play out that shift back the day. And in previous times the 101st wasn't able to play on that specific niche of RP bc we had to deal with all of Nacion as being the only official faction. Before that time, with SOB and BLS still around, we had an agreement as of who's going to do what and it worked out pretty well, though the 101st back that day already had its more of a military position rather than its initial R/D one.
This faction, ever since the last 4 years, is trying to get itself back to the roots of what it once in its own lore was before anyone of us even played this game, and what was never played out ingame at any point bc to previous Administrations of 101st this just was some backstory. Despite Jameson trying to liven up the R/D part he also had to care for the fact that the 101st was the only official faction that moment, which ment we, as a faction, had to take care for more than just our own factions lore.
The claim over o85 is a long standing inRP claim and not just some "we've once bought the system" ooc-one. Actually, I did myself ask for o85 to be de-guarded and accordingly used as lore-asset by the dev-team so the system itself and its assets may stay around.
The thread I made some days before caused members to return, current members to wake up and new members to join. To a regard we're confident that we'll stay active for a long time. Our diplomatic dealings have always been arrogant, Jameson and others just been more sneaky about it. So far, the only real issue with any other Outcast-group right now the 101st got is with the Commune which resulted from them shooting at us.
Right now, we're up to support the NC at every of their moves as we so far have not seen them doing any negative to Nacion. They're the administrative body we as 101st have been a long time looking for to replace us.
We aim to provide opportunities to other Outcast groups as well as any other group willing to interact with us for the benefit of Nacion and ofc the 101st itself.
The Ragriz squadron amassed a huge amount of industrial power during their decades of supreme ruling and we still got, inRP, a vast support within the maltese military, though we don't wish to get that openly involved into any of the politics anymore besides taking action when we deem it necessary to guard Nacion. Which is what the other OC-groups eventually will also do should the situation ever arise.
In short, yes... we aim to be the primary intelligence wing to Nacion. With the sidenote that we also still hold the power of a military due to our previous ruling and current assets.
