read the "Order Manual" link in my sig. The first and third posts there should tell you everything you need to know to start as a fairly knowledgable order character.
My character personal log and profile also have some RP-posts that may give you some insight into the workings of the order.
EDIT:
And just as a very basic description-
The Order is a group that was originally started by a branch of the LSF. It grew from a secret special-ops organization into a group with the sole intent of protecting all humans from alien threats. While houses and factions waged 'petty' wars against one another, aliens such as the nomads, infected humans (wild), and phantoms were encroaching on Sirius with the intent to destroy any human presence whenever and wherever it was encountered. The Order saw this threat when nobody else did, and took action to fight against it.
The Order has been branded a terrorist group for two reasons:
1. Stealing Classified Liberty Research and Prototype Vessels
2. Attacking nomad-infected targets
While the order knew they were protecting humanity by attacking such nomad-infected targets, everyone else thought they were committing terrorist attacks and targetted assassinations against the leaders of the Sirius Houses. This has caused them to be branded as criminals and terrorists, while the Houses covered up any information that may prove otherwise.
In modern times, The Order still exists (and has grown) in order to serve it's original purpose: Protecting humanity from alien threats. The Nomads are still a threat, but not as large a threat as they were 16 years ago during the nomad war. The Wild are more of a threat now than the nomads once were, and there are other alien groups - such as the phantoms - which attack the houses of sirius with the intent of overthrowing all human power in this region of space.
Well:Pcap whoar? Get a corsair GB, 8 nomad turrets, and claim they are experimental and then blow up every cruiser in sight!
Or if you had a larger budget... get an osiris, mount corsair light turrets on it and one heavy mortar.
Don't listen to those order wuses who refuse to war with liberty and go straight to NY and behave like class 0 terrorist they claim you are.

Yes, please do, then we can blow you up and claim you're infected. Tip: Corsair ships are not designed with nomad specimen containment in mind.

The absolute last thing we need is more indy osirises popping up out of nowhere. In the past two weeks, I've seen half a dozen new Osirises, some of them without even having their order tag/ID yet, and only two of them knew a single thing about Order RP. Within another couple of weeks, those who do not learn very quickly are very likely to be designated kill on sight as rogue order agents.

Yes, more reasons to kill you on sight. The Order exists to protect the houses of sirius, not to invade them and kill thousands of innocents just because you want to pvp whore.
at least 75% of Order players fly with an order id ang tag cause of the Osiris and not cause of what the Order is.
The others who do know do it well and deserve recognition.
Unfortunatly there is no way to work it out.
Hmm, is there a way to get messages displayed in systems? So Bs| can like display system messages in Minor and 100 like saying some important facts such as Order space laws and current issues?
Observe, and read up on the NPC's/story line in bar's and such. Then RP it the best you can. RP it the way you want to, and not the way every so called expert tell's you to.
Sorry Tenacity, but you are by no mean's an Order expert, and not 1 person on this server is required to read, or follow your Hand book. They can if they wish, but i disagreed with a line or 2 in it i read.
Also to all, Bs is the official Order faction, so you "should" follow Bs order's/sugestion's. But you are also not required to RULE wise.
Ryoken, if you saw problems with it why didnt you send me a PM pointing them out? Quit being bitter.
As for following black squadron's orders... you're right, by official rules on the server you dont, but in 4.85 you wont be able to get anything larger than a gunboat without black squadron's "permission", and all the people who have osirises right now and dont know how to RP them properly will be forced to give them up.
