Just because something doesn't have a big impact or may appear redundant does not mean there is any benefit to cutting content. Cutting content is only good if something has a noticeable negative effect, which is not the case with a minor vanilla faction.
A mod is supposed to add content, not remove it. Niche factions may provide fun to a small group of players and do no harm to others and have little relevance for the spread of activity etc., exactly because they are so minor anyway. It's like things are being cut for the sake of being cut and I think such logic should seriously be reconsidered.
The faction was annexed as a result of the Volksrevolution literally going to war with itself. RP development. It's what the Rheinland underworld was doing.
There's nothing to stop the LWB reforming if people want to play it that way.
Just because some shabby justification was thought up doesn't mean it becomes legit. LWB was basically ignored for all storylines and then suddenly it went down. And if so how could it be a trial according to the OP? An trial storyline sounds odd?
Aside from the justification being really weak, it's not relevant. It's a justification not the reason. After all the policy is that player RP is not relevant to the storyline and if it's not player RP you don't come up with this without planning to remove the faction, right?
