Anyhow Tenacity, about the Order. I recently feel like making an Order Bomber, but have one bugging question: Why are you using Nomad Technology anyway? I mean Order fights against the Nomads, don't they?
For me Order looks like they want to completely get rid of those Nomads, but then you use their Guns. Isnt that even a risk of an Infection?

The order cant simply rip an arm (tentacle?) off of a nomad fighter and strap it to their ship as a weapon. I think many people misunderstand exactly what 'nomad technology' we're really using.
What we do, rather, is reverse engineer the biotechnology used by the nomads. The energy blasts created by nomad 'ships' can be replicated with a synthetic weapon - that is what the nomad energy blasters/cannons really are. They have no nomad bits or brains in them, they're simply a reverse engineered gun capable of emitting the same type of energy blast as that which the nomads use.
Likewise, when we outfit our ships with 'nomad technology', we're not slapping blue goo onto everything to make it better, we're using technology that is -derived- from either nomads, or from daam k'vosh artifacts. I like to believe that the latter is more common, as artifacts can be found all over sirius and do not require much alteration to be used by a non biological craft. The K'vosh, to our knowledge, were not beings who used a great deal of organic technology, as the nomads do - rather, they were quite similar to us, using machines and synthetic technology in space.
Thus, those reverse engineered bits and other 'alien technology' we outfit our ships with pose no real risk of infestation, because there is no nomad or even organic matter with which to be infected by. The order is simply using knowledge obtained from our nonhuman enemies to create technology which can, eventually, benefit humanity.
