- there is an alliance between zoners and the order. it is not perfectly clear if that alliance is publicly known or secret - but to the players ... it is obvious.
- the BHG core demanded to have the order banned from using freeports, because they suspected the order to stage alleged attacks from those. - no matter how it was inRP/proven or not... the result was that the core applied a unilateral "limited war" against the zoners, which up to that day - has not officially been resolved.
- when the BHG core and the corsairs engaged in a "no aggression pact" - it was a time of great tensions. the order or parts of the order openly supported zoners against aggressors.
- when several months ago - a massive keeper fleet appeared near fp11 - the BHG core retreated while the order assisted in the defense - further estranging the bhg core from the zoners.
keep in mind:
the original "pact" between the bhg and the zoners is a mutual defense pact. - bhg, who do not run stations themselves are allowed to stage from said freeports and NOT cause any trouble. for that service, they provide policeforce duties and low level security duties.
only if that mutual agreement is upheld, the tech-sharing may be white. once one side makes too many demands - the tech-sharing turns red, cause there is NO real friendship between the two factions - just an agreement of a mutually beneficial situation.
