Have they retconned them being best bros with the Blood Angels yet? Because even with more independent Necrons, that was a pretty bad case of derp.

[Steffanie Saissore]

Didn't know about the Blood Angels thing.  Though from what I've read in the Black Crusade RPG and some of the fluff for the army list, they're very much more an alien AI.  I would think that they removed the Space Marine thing, but could be wrong.

Newcrons are pretty terrible, yes, but what I hate most about that codex is that they completely ignored a perfect chance to introduce factions and simultaneously avoid completely retconning the previous lore (C'tan Loyalists vs Independent Lords).

To return to the original topic: The SSoE having a dedicated military arm doesn't make a lot of sense, but they definitely do have agents they hire to do wetwork or prevent it (see Black Mountain and The Burning Life). In fact, just today I had an idea for some player-generated fiction that would require some Sisters interference...

[Steffanie Saissore]

Thanks for the advice and pointers, and after giving it some thought, I think I'll stay independent of the Sisters.  I'd lend assistance and such, but not be part of the organization.

Thanks

Clearing a hot LZ for aid workers, doing Peacekeeper-type work to protect aid workers/installations/shipments, escorting aid vessels, etc. Just because a lot of the major pirate fleets recognize the use in keeping the SSOE friendly does not mean that the smaller operations do, or that planetary violence wouldn't lash out at them. Red Cross workers are constantly in danger, for example, despite being globally recognized as neutral aid workers.

I'd absolutely love to see someone interjecting themselves into a heated battle, neuting and jamming everyone, or bringing everyong down to Hull and then stopping because of humanitarian concerns. Badass humanitarians would be hella cool.

On a side note, been playing around making a logo for the Order:



Hearkening back to the ancient airship days of Gallente history.

Might spruce it up with some effects, but I think it fits.  Have no idea how I'm going to come up with a crest

[Makkal]

There appears to be a crest on the airship.

[Shintoko Akahoshi]

Uh... ancient airship days?

[Makkal]

Fed history is weird.

Crystal cities where people walk around in togas weird.

[Shintoko Akahoshi]

The idea of Gallente steampunk air battleships makes me oh, so sad.

[Steffanie Saissore]

I...kind of really like steampunk and flying airships and stuff

As I recall there was a SoE affiliated paramilitary in EM at one point.

Ah, here they are. The SoE Roughriders.
