I don't think DTR has ever actually ordered an indie to do anything in the span of 2 years but that's one of the few remaining actual and extremely negligible positives of being an OF. Other than perks and being able to do the above, there's no really any other incentives to stay an OF (but that's another story entirely as the OF system actually penalizes active groups).
No, you cannot order Corsairs to not handle relics as an OF, you'd get sanctioned very fast for that if you start shooting them when they refuse - it's what they are supposed to do hah. It's the same in Gallia - there are licenses handed out where you need "law enforcement escort and permission on-site" to enter certain areas and for certain factions. People get to just make lawful alts as part of their convoys and circumvent that. And that's all right.
If people make alts to fill their PoBs, you get to go after the non-corsair ships they use later pretty much.
OFs going after their own indies would be a very slippery abusable slope, especially if it's something in lore like Corsairs handling relics
