Liberty and Nomad Backstory - Lucend - 04-29-2008
There are certain irregularities with this story and the story panned out in the singleplayer. Most notably the name of Ageira is "Valhalla." No where in game (or at least, nowhere I've seen) does it say that the Jumpgates and Tradelanes were created using alien technology. However, it does link humanity and the Nomads, and also gives the Nomads a modus operandi. We stole what was there's by right. Pissy doesn't begin to describe the emotions they are probably feeling.
Also, if the Order wasn't around until very recently, then the LSF wouldn't have been created by them. I like the Order's role it has presently, even though I don't agree with their "terrorist organization" label.
Very fascinating find though.

Personally, I don't agree with the view of the Order in the Lib document, as it seems to me as though the Order was founded very recently, and they should not - if connected with the government - be considered terrorists in Lib. anymore. Plus, Liberty shouldn't be trying to actively expand into the Omicrons, fighting directly with the Order.

I haven't been to Minor recently, but I thought a while back I saw Navy Patrols and Order patrols passing each other by. In fact, the Order patrols were scanned for contraband and passed inspection!
I don't think the NPCs are shooting each other, just the player factions. If I'm in error please point it out.

I know that in Alaska, Order patrols fire on Naval patrols. Oh, and, about the whole contraband scan thing, I've seen that happen with criminal factions and police ships. Just a random bug, I think. Once saw it happen with LPI and an Outcast. Proof of LPI's corruption!:crazy:

Perhaps it would be fair to say that the Order of Cincinatus is not the same Order that features in the SP, or if it is it has changed so far from it's original intent. Whilst the document suggests that they are one and the same, I think it's unfeasible to suggest that 800 years of history has not changed the Order.

Also, if you pay close attention, you'll notice that Malta was going to be called "Ishmael." Crete was going to be called "Madrid" at one point, but was scrapped. It sounds like they had a conception of what the edge worlds were going to be, but nothing beyond that until the dead-line.

From the look of these posts, I'm guessing you haven't been to Chris Todd's website. He says there himself that:

Here's the link to the website again.
