Last I remember, the order and zoners, taz especially, were in a close alliance, and the order allowed official faction zoners to carry nomads in the omicrons without repercussions (because their science facilities were being used to aid the order's own research).
Guess I shouldnt be surprised, though, the whole thing started to fall apart several versions ago when Order leadership changed and the dev team stopped giving a crap about the mod.
Someone had a ship with a fancy effect on a special ship, then someone else saw it and claimed it was a Nomad thing. Some metagaming happened as well and then things went downhill pretty fast.
