First off, its quite the honor to meet such an esteemed individual like yourself. The dishonest approach was for security purposes, as there are many who work against people like myself. Secrecy is our best weapon, and we can't afford the luxury of taking such a risk.
Now then, to business.
The Order - Our relationship with them is non-existent. We don't asociate with each other, likely on account of them not knowing we exist, as few do. Our stance, and opinion towards their organization... You'll get mixed responses amongst our operatives, but stance-wise, we're neutral to positive, as any group willing to combat the monsters from dark space is one to be praised and aided.
However, personally, I don't trust their leader, Admiral Golanski. Being around as long as I have, in this line of work, rumors are heard, and actions are witnessed. Much like a situation in which myself and several underlings were called to arms to defend Baffin from Golanski himself. As you would imagine, someone so willing to turn against the peace-loving Zoners of Baffin would cast themselves in a bad light.
Our operations - The best, and most recent example I can provide, was the situation in Newcastle and New London, where I had reached out to The Bretonian Government and dispatched a strike team consisting of a wing of fighters and a Modified-AWACS Corvo to support the defense fleet and assist in coordination.
During combat, some of our operatives were engaged by Maltese fighter craft, infected thralls, and a group known as The Oracles. A total of four confirmed kills against the opposing force, including the destruction of what appeared to be a Cruiser-Class Nomad, by The Artemis its self.
The Outcasts and other Thralls - This is a rather straightforward answer. We dislike each other, minus relations with a group known as The Commune, which consists almost entirely of the Samarran Raider remnants. I have fought them before, during my time in both the Liberty Navy and Hellfire Legion. I am aware of the destruction they are capable of, and a contingency is in place should they attempt such a large strike on anyone.
As for the other families of Malta, and the others amongst them, we are more or less hostile. They are formidable opponents, and have proved to be quite dangerous when defending their religious diety species.
They're not our friends.
With that out of the way, I hope we can move forward. There is a lot to do, and with our fleet in disrepair it makes it rather difficult to be where we need to be with enough support to hold the line.
