The only issue was that because the Order was in the nomad worlds, the missions were all rank 19 and up. Meaning that whichever mission you took had a huge chance to spawn BHG dessies. Heck, even when it didn't it was hard. So the only reassuring way to get your ID and IFF was to wait for indie caps to grind missions for money and just tag along with them.
Funnily enough, for a long time the only place you could get Order missions from was the Battleship Isis, because no other bases were configured to offer them. That wouldn't have been a problem in of itself, but there was also only one mission zone, meaning if anyone else was doing a mission at the time, the board would tell you it was busy and to come back later.
