In ooRP terms: It was settled through RP interaction (Even a MD reflected this), and a consensus in the group.
InRP terms: Outcast society has been divided regarding their vision about Nomads as general. Some Outcasts consider them as divine entities, “spirits”, meanwhile others take them as blight for humanity. Our organization is diverse and if there are some members who manifest some kind of worship to aliens, it is because these last ones show what we want to accomplish as Maltese: Betterment for all Outcasts. It does not collide with our current agenda if zealousness is checked.
As for the organization itself, MHS gambles for a pragmatic approach with them: Our initial thoughts were to consider the Nomads as threat, mainly because of their attack in 800 A.S.; but they are also considered as sentient and intelligent beings, capable of communication and understanding. Attacking humanity includes attacking our people, and we certainly do not agree with those terms, but their advanced technology and their life form uniqueness are curious aspects to study for MHS.
Having said that, K’Hara is basically a “potential business partner”, because they can provide us help in our own technological and scientific advancement and fulfilling our main goals; but that remains to be seen and it would be too soon to consolidate some kind of fruitful negotiation.
Vagrants had not parlay with us and they had not made moves like the K’Hara. Using an analogy: We really do not consider Corsairs as the same as Liberty Rogues. Humans have different sides, and Nomads are not exception in our point of view, we are not putting all Nomads in the same bag prematurely.
