The faction uses an OC ID because they are, however disconnected, still an Outcast faction. The Commune are Outcasts by roots, sure, but their roleplay tends to focus towards a more freelance ideal. As far as I'm aware, at least.
*MR| only operates within space that the OC ID offers, with the sole exception of Vespucci for RP reasons. They use Maltese ships, they use a Maltese naming scheme, they use an Outcast IFF and follow Outcast lore to the extent that the faction can while staying a unique concept.
We're 'hellbent' because we're an Outcast faction. I wouldn't expect someone to make a Brigand faction that uses a Maquis ID.
I'd like to see that the proper course of action is taken in regards to *MR|'s officialdom. By the written rules and guidelines, past and present, we have satisfied all of the requirements, including the main reason we were denied.
Thanks.
