"Lawfulness" has never really been a too accurate indicator of relations between factions, best examples I know for that are from my immediate surroundings. What makes someone lawful or unlawful? Own agenda being all about caring about the people around you apparently doesn't, nor do diplomatic relations, Council is a populist revolution, and we are allied to houses, but we are still considered unlawfuls. Well, yea, it's a lot easier to find the answer in the case of houses, while both GRN and Council claim to exist and conduct their stuff for the Gallic people, only GRN is affiliated with an existing Gallic Government, thus they are the lawful military, and we are the unlawful.
The Omicrons however don't really have a government, do they? Major military forces are Order and Core, and then from the edges come Outcasts and Corsairs. The latter two doesn't seem to be interested in the Omicrons as much as the former ones, more like about killing eachother and spreading their own stuff (cardamine, artifacts) throughout their own half of Sirius. The Order and Core however seem to be approach the same issue (Nomads) through different means, that and competition for Omicrons in general define their rivalry, and neither of them have a too big navy to roll with.
It's hard to decide whether Order or Core are the more lawfuls in Omicrons, so I'd advice against using the terminology altogether.
Order are house-wise considered terrorists, while Core tries to establish a "house" in the omicrons with conditions we know from house space. They come from house space, have a support from house forces to a specific point and the difference between Core and Order regarding the nomad topic is: Order actually looks for a solution for the nomad problem and wants to destroy all nomad technology so it doesn't land in the wrong hands. Core uses nomads as an infinite ressource of income (aside from finite Iridium on Nauru), uses nomad technology (nomad adapted weapons at Alabama) to become stronger and shares those materials with all those who can afford it.
It's true, ooRP are Order the good guys, but inRP, seen from house space, Core is the good guys. That's why Core is considered "lawful evil" on pen and paper alignment charts.
Since Houses are originally coming from the sleeperships you cannot "become a house". And Outcasts and Corsairs have a legit House right at this point if other Houses wish to see them as criminals and unlawful it's their right. You have "lawful", "quasi-lawful" and "unlawful" IDs which is not roleplay thing as is. Outcasts will be lawfuls in Omicron Alpha and Core with APM tech are pretty much unlawful there. Don't mix the IDs and an actual laws enforcement along with RP behind it.
Well, isn't house-wise the general point of view for ooRP declarations of lawful and unlawful? Anyway, this isn't a discussion thread about who's good and who's bad. I think I made my point clear and picking phrases and words that aren't 100% the way formulated you want doesn't make the discussion better. The fact is: Core is enforcing laws in Delta in a way we know it ie. from Liberty. You are part of a criminal faction or work with them? You get shot. You have contraband with you? You will asked to drop it or get shot. You insult a "lawful"? You pay a fee or get shot. A substantial difference is the way bigger ZoI compared to Liberty. Core has much more opportunities to raid. Kappa with AI and Corsairs, the many Corsair systems, the rare visited Outcast systems, the nomad systems, SCRA systems, red hessians, etc...
