An ideological artifact of the old alliance, Auxesia applies the disciplines of armed service to the wider survival of Sirian human diversity and the human race itself, at any cost, in parallel to the ideals of the uninfected military defectors who fought and won Nomad war. Apolitical in nature, Auxesia maintains itself via contract work from the houses it once served, defending the border worlds from pirate raiders who it shuns for preying upon civilians, whilst quietly gathering technology to augment its armada and the people who crew them, as they wait for the next apocalypse.
On lightly examining the documents about the faction, one question sprang on my mind. What is currently the Auxesia stance towards the Kusari House, and how do they present themselves to said members of the House?
In a close tangent, what is up with that tower in Honshu I just read in Eidolon Wrath story?
Currently undefined - house reputations for all major Sirian houses usually start true neutral unless defined otherwise by inter-faction RP. Navy factions tend to be suspicious (with LN currently hostile) to Auxesia due to Auxesia possessing (indeed, basing their entire fleet from) technology acquired by military defectors. Yet Auxesia itself tends to be very comfortable or even supportive of any one House's government due to the protection they provide to the civilian populaces of their domains, but tends not to favour any particular political party or movement. Those who constitute Auxesia tend not to defect due to contesting the core ideologies of their nation, government or people, but because they simply wish to direct those attributes in a direction conducive to a level of house stability existent pre Nomad War. This is reflective of Auxesia itself; a group with inherently far leftwing social views, but who use rightwing methodology to protect said beliefs.
Auxesia's ideology is a distillation of ideological elements appropriated from the various Germanic and west Germanic culture groups, mixed with a Kusarian reverence for the preservation of tradition. In effect, if the Alliance of Earth was Rome, Auxesia sees itself as Byzantium - a unity of peoples still holding out for a long dead ideal in the hope it can be the eventual salvation of the human race.
Auxesia may even be slightly supportive of Kusari, due to their legislative resistance of the Bounty Hunters Guild, who Auxesia are slightly suspicious of due to the BHG being fairly unprincipled. Auxesia would happily help lawful Kusari confront pirate organisations who it sees as actively terrorising the civilian populace to achieve their objectives, but would be less enthusiastic about helping Kusari against organisations who it sees as purely political actors (due to Auxesia's apolitical pretenses). Auxesia sees the Order as a proxy for totalitarianism and actively attempts to mitigate their influence where possible, but tolerates them if they believe their presence proactively prevents K'haran infiltration. Auxesia is effectively the human counterpoint to the Wilde faction in many regards, and is inclined to work with Kusari's government to stamp out the infected wherever and however possible, even at the cost of Auxesian assets. Auxesia hasn't had meaningful Hogosha interaction yet, but will likely remain suspicious of them due to their alliance with the Corsairs (who are obstensibly pirates - Auxesia detests those who extort civilians for a living), and their active participation in the artifacts trade.
On the whole, provided Auxesia doesn't make a total faux pas or other RP developments happen to make Auxesia hostile to lawful Kusari, I see them as preserving a friendly neutrality, with quite probable hostility to the GC due to their general warmth to the Nacion Maltese. Auxesia would be more likely to attempt to collaborate with the Kusari government and corporations than it would be inclined to contest them. It really depends if Kusari sees Auxesia as a useful tool or not.
The safe house on Honshu is an RP relic from a faction that was integrated into Auxesia a while ago by RP means. It's effectively a well defended private residence.
