Order / Corsair alliance

[Zelot]

The alliance was originally made because there was nothing for the Order to do in the game except hang around Minor. So, allying with Corsairs gave the players something to do.

Now, we don't need that and realise that it really makes little sense.

Not really, the Order started as small group, without any infrastructure for operations, or ship building. If they wanted to build those Osirises they needed a partner to build them, the allies they had at the time, the dragons and bund, did not have the resources or facilities to build the Order equipment for them, add that to the Corsairs being the only real power in proximity to the Minor, you start to see why the Order might have been interested in a alliance with the Corsairs. To say it didnt make sense is bull, it did make sense, we may have outgrown it, but at the time, it was an important step in developing the Order in rp into the faction it is today.
