who gives a fig whether the gaians are bret or not?
the whole point of this thread is not 'are the gaians bret?', but 'could gaians maintain a presence in the rest of sirius?'
yes, i think they can.
they would be the antithesis of the zoners' sirius-wide neutrality. they would be sirius-wide, but they wouldn't be neutral. they'd voraciously make a stand on every single issue, from underage fatherhood, to involuntary euthanasia for people suffering from lawl syndrome.
i'd LOVE it if the gaians were the only group hostile to the zoners. 'twould be very cool.
back to the point.
gaians = greenpeace. Greenpeace evolved from the peace movement and anti-nuclear protests in Vancouver, British Columbia in the early 1970s, but it actually started as a meme inside someone's head.
does that mean that meme can only ever be canuck? no. i'm a brit, and i think that testing nuclear warheads is a BAD idea. nuclear stuff blows up, we get that. stop testing mmkay?
the Gaian meme CAN and SHOULD spread to the other houses, however, some work needs to be done:
Diplomacy
Allied
Corsairs
Farmers Alliance
Hogosha
Hostile
Outcasts
Mollys
Blood Dragons
Golden Chrysanthemums
Bounty Hunters Guild
Planetform, Inc.
BMM
Orbital Spa & Cruise
Bretonia Police
Bretonia Armed Forces
if hostile to mollies & outcasts, then it follows that they'd be hostile to the rogues, and unfriendly with the lane hackers
if hostile to BAF/BPA, they could be unfriendly to the xenos (i.e. able to dock on bases, but no tech available)
allied to corsairs, so unfriendly with hessians, and hostile to RM/RFP, friendly with LWB
IMHO, OSC needs an enemy like the Gaians to be more widespread.
