Order

[NonSequitor]

The Order, to my understanding, should have its contacts throught Sirius, in every faction. Even in the LSF. The BHG would be the exception.

The Order definitely should not be allied with the Corsairs. A neutral stance would make a lot more sense.

And while the OC are not allied, or even on friendly terms with the Nomads, the fact that the Nomads tolerate them is enough to evoke a high level of suspicion in the Order. However, suspicion does not equate instant hostility, just the mindset that the OC should be carefully observed.

As for the Order's goals - protecting humanity from an alien race that would apparently like to forcibly compel humanity to follow a path in synch with the Nomad worldview of harmony and oneness. Nomads seem to interpret individuality as the root of humanity's ills. Therefore, humanity must be destroyed or "persuaded" by the merits of the Nomad worldview.

If the Nomads were to extend an olive branch to humanity, it would likely be in the form of some level of enslavement (from the human point of view), the exchange of free will and individuality for oneness - "peace" on their terms.

Where is good? Where is evil? Both are found in abundance in Sirius, in both humanity and Nomads. The conundrum is, who is the defining authority of good and evil? It seems that for most rpers, concepts of good and evil are relative to their own goals and factional worldviews.
