Core| - The Core Feedback and Announcement Thread

[thisDerius]

Order has Battleship Atum, Battleship Thebes, Battleship Amenta and whatever the one at Dab is named. Core has Mars and whatever the one at Yaren is named. Double the fleet power.

When Golanski and Vipex (Order| HC) were system devs they deleted our NPC Battleships out of bias. As far as the story is concerned, and pending a Rho redux, we're waiting for them to be re-added. Mind also the Amenta and the one at Apophis were added in my Golanski without any prior RP or construction, unlike ours. But as far as the story is concerned this lists our NPC assets before Golanski and Vipex touched them.

Otherwise, the Order began as a breakaway special forces group subsisting entirely on private funding from individual entrepreneurs - The Core is an organization with established influence throughout the sector the support of each of the Houses.
The Order, for years, had essentially a single base of operations (Omicron Minor/Toledo), containing both their military and civilian populace. That was lost, along with a huge amount of the Order's personnel and resources, to the nomad attack. The Core may have lost a lot of ships in that same battle but did not suffer as much of an infrastructure hit that the order did, and continued expanding because of that.
The Order has few allies to draw on, ostracizing both the Corsairs and the Zoners and really only maintaining a solid alliance with the Blood Dragons and Bundschuh - two terrorist/outlaw groups - while The Core has the support of House militaries, intelligence, house corporations, Zoners, Outcasts etc.
While the Order is trying to suppress alien technology and influence, Core encourages its development and use, and that certainly gives them a resource/technological leg up, not just in the military sector but also in developing new holdings and expanding their influence. Even more so when the ultimate purpose for this research is to sell the technology for profit - an economic sector they dominate in.
The Core controls Nauru which is the largest most concentrated resource of Iridium in the entire sector, giving them a monopoly over the resource and lots of profits from it. They were able to push Corsair influence out of Delta, and thereafter been able to invite Corporations into the Omicrons to increase the influence of both themselves and said Corps (eg their allies).
The Core was able to strike into Omicron Epsilon and destroy Lisbon station. Capetown also cements Core's influence in Omicron minor more so than Order.
