New House Idea

Extended intro isn't canon.

It claims some dude from Pluto made the Order. Orillion himself states that he personally founded it. That and why the hell didn't the Nomads use their uber-gun on Liberty?

As far as I'm concerned no word has been given from Digital Anvil, however the extended version itself is official, only that it has not made into final game. The survivor doesn't explicitly states that he founded the Order faction, he may have passed the information but it took generations to form the faction. As for the uber-gun, well, considering the amount of energy it may require to shoot it I'd say it's one-shot type of ship. Finally nomad sphere(s) might be used to power up those starkillers. Who knows, possibly it requires a lot of time to accumulate and concentrate that amount of energy in a single ship of that type. Besides there would be no big use for it as the colonies are spread around many systems, it would take a lot of time to bring them down, so instead they went the "infiltration" way to turn colonies against themselves and then march through Sirius wiping out the survivors. That is if we assume the destruction of mankind was their objective. Again we weren't directly given that, it's just assumed but not proven. Who knows what exactly they were planning to do.

As much as I understand why people don't see it as canon I too have arguments supporting the assumption that extended intro shows us what exactly happened after the sleeperships set sail to Sirius. So no, there is no certain answer, only theories can be made. They have removed it from the game simply because it introduced antagonists too early, so it has been cut out, but that doesn't mean it's not canon.

Besides we already had this talk earlier and I presented the very same arguments, so why is this confidence in your assumption that extended intro is not canon?
