' Wrote:b) Order enters ceasefire negotiations with the BHG. Talks are brokered by the Zoners. Both the Order and the BHG become more pragmatic concerning the Nomad menace. The Order thus rationalizes that an agreement with the BHG is a more constructive path in dealing with mankind's worse enemy in Sirius. The BHG, realizing the extent of the looming Nomad threat, is ready to relinquish its own exclusive claims on all Nomad technology.
The BHG, having more leverage in the negotiations, would pressure the Order to nullify the alliance with the Corsairs. The Order would insist on overseeing all studies concerning the Nomads. Both parties agree to share intelligence on the Nomads. Both parties agree to share base privileges. There is no technology/vessel exchanges. The Order and BHG would have neutral relations to one another.
Regarding the conditions between the Core and the Order, this one is the one that makes the most sense to me. The war between the Core and Order is about the use of the technology gained from the Nomads. Core and Order ships even now will cooperate when presented with a Nomad threat, realizing that it is the Nomads that are the greater threat to humanities future.
So - if there is an increased threat from the Wild and the Nomads, I could see an accomodation being worked out. Nothing would bring a quicker cease fire to all the wars in the houses of Sirius than an outside threat that could eliminate all human life.
In the interests of combating the common foe ... yeah, I'd go with it. That would be the only thing that would force the Hessians and Corsairs to get along, as well - and would almost certainly cause the Zoners to join in as well.
Final battle - combined Hessian/Corsair/BAF/KNF/RM/LN/Order/BHG/Zoner cap ship fleet against the Nomad/Wild/Outcast fleet. That would be one seriously cranking battle.... (And it's not that I'm ignoring such people as the Mollies, Dragons, Xenos, Hackers, LWB, etc... there would just be so much firepower going around here that it would be ... truly an epic battle.)
