Exactly, that is why you are thinking wrong. This is an individual player wearing a open tag. Unlike the LNS the HH is a unofficial group targetting specific goals to not harm the IMG| as a whole, something you have also stated here:

The actions of [HH] and the actions of IMG| must and should be kept separate, for they are not the same faction.
Also you have a membership and private faction what sabre was pointing out in here:

This makes it much more organised then an LNS indy isn't it?
I did explicitly state "indie / unofficial LNS", referring to groups like 5th|, SFC|, 4-56|, and others, for example. And yes, it is much more organized than indie LNS. I think you're not understanding the point I'm trying to make. [HH] is separate in entirety from IMG|, just as 5th|, or 4-56|, or SFC|, or [insert unofficial Lib Navy faction here] is separate in everything but origin from [LN]. When an unofficial faction does something wrong, the unofficial faction is the one that gets in trouble, as it should be. The official should not be responsible for what an unofficial does, as they have no direct control over them. Sure, FR2 exists, but in practice it's much harder to use effectively than it might seem.
