Hello, I think this post to publicize the idea for a new faction that my friends and I have.
NCC: Neo Covenant Church.
History:
Eighteen years ago, shortly before the outbreak of war nomad, Jacinto Benavente, a Corsair pilot of 51 years disappeared in the Omicrom Delta system and nothing more was heard. Six months ago, in 816 AS, the scout ship Old Magallanes found an escape pod with a pilot within cryostasis. He was quickly sent to the laboratories of the ship and prepared a medical team to attend to frozen.
Doctors and scientists had serious doubts about the possibility of recovering the pilot after so many years in cryostasis, but the miracle happened. The man, who said his name was Jacinto Benavente, not only survive the thaw, but within hours he was fully recovered.
When Captain Juan Felipe de Alba and Espronceda met with him and asked him about what happened, it told him that, while on patrol, a group of blue ships had never seen him attacked and destroyed his ship without warning and stay in the immensity, floating alone in space with their only chance of survival in freezing. Also had something like a remembered dream, a machine that reminded a clock, with a huge human eye in the center, surrounded by an aura that made him look away, but could not, and said that he would survive, because their fate was big and it would watch over him.
He said that his destiny was to unite all mankind under one faith and one banner as it was divided and confronted by war and mistrust, because the Nomad would attack and destroy humanity forever
Jacinto did not know what it all meant, but Juan, like his crew followed the ancient faith of The Machine Covenant and immediately knew that Deux had led him to that place to get his elected.
Juan did reunite his crew in front of the man and told the vision he had tended, instantly, all knelt and wept for joy, because they were in in front of the chosen to lead them. At that time, Juan Felipe, shouting "Habemus Pontiff" Jacinto crowned as heir to the Timless Throne, and all present cheered the new Pontiff, to be called Paulus LXIV.
And so, Jacinto Benavente prepared to fulfill its mission and destiny.
Primary Goal: Bring the humanity into one banner and defeat the nomad threat
Secondary Goal: Being the main faith of Sirius.
Faction ID: Zoner ID, Freelancer ID (only for some of the Pontiff Guard)
IFF: None or zoner, we dont have this clear.
Tag: NCC/C: For the Curia (bishop, missionaries etc.)
NCC/PG: For the Pontiff Guard
Diplomacy:
Friendly:
-Order (because they are protectors of humanity versus the nomad threat)
-Corsairs (because the Pontiff origins)
Neutral:
-Every one else
Unfriendly:
--Outcast (they are Heretics, protects the nomad enemy)
-TAZ (they are Pagans who workship a false god)
Ship Allowed:
- All civilian ships, zoner osprey and zoner capitals.
-Capital ships restinged to the Curia members and the Pontiff Guard Capitain (called Field Maestre)
Rol Rules:
-Can only attack in self defense or in defense of a tagged NCC ship or base.
-Can demand Slaves in their zone of influence (near our base "Outerheaven", we dont begin the construcction, we are waiting to find a good place and to ask for a premision if it is necesary)
-Canot enter in House space with capital ship unless the visit has being approved.
-*Special Rule: (We wanted to ask this rule to see how it fits and especially among admins)
Exalted March (AKA Crusade): exalted march represents a crusade which for various reasons can occur: excommunication, religious, political reasons ... (everything with a convenient RP)
-It can only be accepted and called by the current Pontiff.
-Any official faction may require the pope to declare a March, Pontiff retains title to accept or reject, according to the reasons for it or for the sake of their diplomatic relations.
-The Pontiff can unilaterally declare a march, which can fail if no one joins.
-Once a March is declared, this will last a while assigned by the Pontiff, and anyone who wants to participate must notify and put a (T) in the name.
-The papal guard can not go to a March without an order from the Pontiff, which reserves the power to decide whether to go or not.
-A March only seeks a system, base or specific objective, can not be held against the entire territory of a faction or against a specific person.
-Any ship with a (T) in the tag is considered a ship to Crusade and consider all ship with (T) as an ally or neutral, but may end up fighting each other for reasons of RP. (as happened in real life crusades).
well, I think this is it, if I forget something or see something that does not fit, or you have any ideas to improve or modify the proposal, please do not hesitate to post.
Look like something interesting. Im not sure about how good religious group will be welcome here on Disco
There was already some, but lack of PvP made people to disban em. RP is good, but shooting is required for us to have fun
though, I like idea of Corsair friendly faction. might be ooRP to say it but I dont care :3
Outcasts are catholic as far as I know, I think you'd be better off teaming with them. They don't worship the nomads as gods, more like spirits or angels, messengers of god.
Then why don't we make a muslim faction and declare a jihad or a budist faction ora jewish faction etc. You see where i am going? I think it would bring a discord amongst players... If u want to worship god go to church, don't do it im Discovery please...

because there is muslims ONLY in Coalition. So you can only make Coalition muslim faction :3
you have your point however. Disco shouldnt be brought into religion party. but clever made faction of worshipers of god or gods wont ruin disco. its already ruined. just compare it to 85.
You can't shoot at TAZ with zoner ID as primary one.
Also why would you have corsairs at neutral while OCs on unfriendly? Corsairs are cannibals, while OCs have the belief in god as part of their lore (hence the huge cross on their dread).
To those commenting about religions - I for one see no problem with RPing as such (Jewish, muslim, buddahist, christian etc), as ling as it stays within taste. And by that I mean not being offensive to other players who might believe in said religion.
