The starting ships will be provided by the Lane Hackers . Obviously, this does not necessarily mean that the ships given to us to start off with will be Z-Line ones or even ships that the Rogue ID can use without a nerf. The existing members will then pick out the ones they will be able to use best.

While seeing if you can get an untagged group official is one of the OORP goals, it will not be the focus of the group. While it is a motivator in most cases, it often overshadows and distracts people from evolving their own characters first, rather than the faction itself. And since the faction will gain benefit for fleshed out characters (but not the other way around), primary focus is allowing players to put their effort into their rogue characters first.
We are also hoping for once/if the group is ready to apply for officialdom, that the Dev team will have found alternative ways to track faction activity. If that is not the case, an ex admin has stated:

Project shelved. Refer to this thread for further details.
