Gaians and Corsairs

[Benjamin]

Regarding the military thing: I agree, with reservations. Hessians and outcasts, okay. How friendly they are is an important point to think about, though. But the gaians? They're not fighting a war. A military alliance doesn't make sense when you're not fighting a war.

Anyway, back on topic:
What exactly are they losing? They don't lose their individuality as a faction at all, but they get the ability to fund themselves, instead of relying on the Green Front completely, and they get leverage in the larger view of what the Corsairs do to Bretonia. I don't see anything wrong with these things. The Hogosha and FA might be allied to the Corsairs, but neither of them are Sirius-Conquering pirates who are driven fully by greed, just like a Corsair clone. They're their own factions, why do we think the Gaians should react differently?

They don't get the ability to fund themselves, they get the ability to be funded by the corsairs. If you're a faction fighting for political change, what helps your stance more: an alliance with a very popular government lobbying group who wants the same thing as you, or a group or bloodthirsty pirates who want to kill everyone?
The Gaian's link with the Green Front helps them. Why would they want to get rid of it?

As for Hogosha and FA? I think the fact no one says "Hogosha" without saying "and FA" is proof enough of that one right now. Plus, not only are they allied with corsairs, and each other, they're also mired under alliances with Samura and the KNF. The emperor of Kusari is telling people to join the AFA and Hogosha in his sig :lol:. Right now, those two are pretty much just the result of adding their allies together.

Because by allying with the Corsairs, they actually lost their most important life line: Diamond smuggling. The Unioners are mostly terrorists, and so they don't do much piracy, from what I understand, and so without the diamonds from the Hessians to be smuggled back to Liberty, they lost their entire economy. That is why they're neutral.

The unioners part was actually a joke trying to highlight how ridiculous the alliance was, if it truly was based entirely on a dislike for bounty hunters.
But to use yr analogy, by allying with corsairs, don't the Order lose their entire purpose: Saving humanity?
