Secret organisations tend to fail without a large population of players who might take interest and to interact with daily.
Bretonia doesn't have that.
Bretonia is far more suited to the upfront terrorist activites of various factions simply due to the lacking number of players.
You can't have a deep faction in a shallow pond.
Gotta remember two things too. Gaians are apparantly more pirates now than idealogically directed peeps.
If they were more idealogical, they wouldn't be allied with the Corsairs.
Remember, the Corsairs turned a once natural planet known as Cork into a nuclear wasteland.
I don't think green peace would love em.

Agreed, that why I keep distance between me and other Gaians. Many of them are junks, pirates, fanatics or all in one (that NLH guy in Leeds shouting something like "darkness upon your soul!" or whatever. It was funny tho ^^ )
On the topic, NLH and this faction have some differences. Ideological as well as behavior.
As for those questions (even tho they have been answered, hehe):
1: Being neutral with outcasts is kinda nonsense. You -could- make a no-fire agreement tho. With some player factions, that is. And I don't think that building relations with Gauls is a bad idea since Gaians are basically neighbors (Lewis next to Orkeny, for those who don't know)
2: Claymore, civilian and (depending on your diplomatic relations) farmer/hogosha/corsair ships.
3: Well I would say house civilian line. Nothing big tho.
4: Again, depends how will you build your relation with Kusarian factions and/or your story and goals.
5: That is quite possible (as you saw ingame with my Samura trader) but it would be good if you had some special item, preferably mountable. You could make it sold on Glendale with full Guard rep, etc...
The point about the two factions been allied has nothing to do with same ideals or goals, they're on the same boat because they share targets. BMM, BAF, BP, Mollys, Outcasts, Bounty Hunters... Need more despite the fact that both factions aim traders as well, whom the point of view from the Gaians, are supplying Bretonia, and for the point of view from the Corsairs, could be supplying themselves?
Another point to be raised is the fact that since Gaians are much more used to targetting Planetformers and Travelling Agencies, and that they have better Bio Tech available, they are much better suited to supply the Corsairs with a) food, b) oxygen, c) drugs, than any other pirate faction nearby. You reply that with the firepower and Military Technology the Corsairs have and you get a pretty sturdy relationship.
More? Ok. Both factions have ties to the Hogosha and the Farmer Alliance, both factions support Kusarian armed forces to a certain extend and both factions seek to destroy the current political skept of Bretonia.
Neither Gaians or Corsairs factions are RAAAAAAAAAAAAGE pirates, most of us just fail to see the point why they are allied. Heck, does any one remembers the fact that the Xenos once made business with Universal Shipment?
BTW Alexia, I hope you did not take offense on my last sentence there...
I'm always looking for more Gaian players, I just don't believe creating more and more and more factions is a good way to do it. Perhaps you should talk to other Gaian rp-ers on the server (Through another thread...) and see what may come up from that?
Just my cents.
Edit: Okay, the way I had put here looked like I wanted to picture Corsairs and Gaians into the political affairs more than they actually are. That is not very correct. What I wanted to say is that the Corsair empire is looking for expansion and territory, and the Gaians are more engaged into discussions along with the Green Front, along with the disruption of the Terraforming stuff. Sorry for the incorrect info.
I'll answer the trade one.
And finally thank god someone decided to trade as gaian.
Corsairs are more than happy to accept those nuclear devices! Trust me!
As for other things, they've been answered.
Destroy planetform!
Yeah [Kudos] is dead, Also, I'm 2nd in Command of this here new faction.
Thanks for all the comments so far guys by the way! We're pretty active, at least, I am, as is Alexia, so any of you folk who come down Edinburgh often in the last... Week or so should have seen us rolling around.
