There are certain irregularities with this story and the story panned out in the singleplayer. Most notably the name of Ageira is "Valhalla." No where in game (or at least, nowhere I've seen) does it say that the Jumpgates and Tradelanes were created using alien technology. However, it does link humanity and the Nomads, and also gives the Nomads a modus operandi. We stole what was there's by right. Pissy doesn't begin to describe the emotions they are probably feeling.
Also, if the Order wasn't around until very recently, then the LSF wouldn't have been created by them. I like the Order's role it has presently, even though I don't agree with their "terrorist organization" label.
Very fascinating find though.
"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."
Personally, I don't agree with the view of the Order in the Lib document, as it seems to me as though the Order was founded very recently, and they should not - if connected with the government - be considered terrorists in Lib. anymore. Plus, Liberty shouldn't be trying to actively expand into the Omicrons, fighting directly with the Order.
I haven't been to Minor recently, but I thought a while back I saw Navy Patrols and Order patrols passing each other by. In fact, the Order patrols were scanned for contraband and passed inspection!
I don't think the NPCs are shooting each other, just the player factions. If I'm in error please point it out.

I know that in Alaska, Order patrols fire on Naval patrols. Oh, and, about the whole contraband scan thing, I've seen that happen with criminal factions and police ships. Just a random bug, I think. Once saw it happen with LPI and an Outcast. Proof of LPI's corruption!:crazy:
Perhaps it would be fair to say that the Order of Cincinatus is not the same Order that features in the SP, or if it is it has changed so far from it's original intent. Whilst the document suggests that they are one and the same, I think it's unfeasible to suggest that 800 years of history has not changed the Order.
Saint Del is considered a holy healer of diseases of children, but also as a protector of cattle.
Also, if you pay close attention, you'll notice that Malta was going to be called "Ishmael." Crete was going to be called "Madrid" at one point, but was scrapped. It sounds like they had a conception of what the edge worlds were going to be, but nothing beyond that until the dead-line.

I'm glad you guys find this interesting though. Now I feel important:laugh:
