Apocalypse

[TheMillers]

I believe they are a rebellious wing of the BHG Core

You believe wrong - They have never been a part of the BHG|Core. Au contraire, their "rebellion" happened, because the at that time only apocalype tagged Mako would not take orders from the BHG| and BHG|Core Guildmasters regarding ZOI, despite Right 2 in the "Official Factions right" thread : http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=21888 .

RIGHT 2) Official factions have authority over players of the same NPC affiliation, as long as RP justification is provided. This authority applies in forums and in-game, and applies to player faction diplomacy, and strategic and tactical direction. However, exercise of that authority, on the forums and in game, is restricted to official faction members with the rank of the official faction leader and one rank below him/her. The authority may be exercised through the use of in-game in-RP orders, which, if not obeyed, can result in in-game in-RP consequences (arrest, court martial, and even lethal force in extreme circumstances). Official Factions cannot, under any cicrumstances, require another player to follow non-canon RP if that player doesn't want to.

(Emphasis in green states the point I think is irking the Apocalypse leader most).

So thats why a backstory is necessary, and a very good one at that - or IMHO both the Apocalypse attempt to ally with the order, as well as the Kray defection to join the Apocalypse is severely non-canon even with the very limited forum RP undertaken by "Col. Kurz".

Sofar, as I have observed it, it just seems like someone not liking the fact that official factions has rights, including authority over indy's and has decided to try and twist canon to accomodate their lust for capship raiding Gamma,, by stating that Nomads never was a threat, Corsairs must be eradicated by any means, etc.

Thats my take on the situation as a fairly new Discovery player, and a recent member of the BHG, who still are trying to absorb the complete BHG backstory by going through all the old posts in the message dump and the various faction members backstories.

So I do hope that the Apocalypse backstory will be good, and be able to fit in to the canon of Discovery. I don't expect it, but I do hope it - since otherwise the evolved canon and the associated RP by all involved factions suddenly is null and void, if this crazyness contiues without any kind of canon in-rp backstory.

Please note, this is my personal opinion, I am not in any way posting as a representative of the BHG|Core, even though I am a cardcarrying member of said organisation.
