[Dead Orbit] Join our cause, the stars hold potential for new frontiers, and we can be the architects.

Faith is for the unrealistic and the optimistic. With humanity in the current state that it is, we cannot afford to be either of the two, perhaps a little optimism, but not to the point where we delude ourselves into thinking everything can only get better. We cannot always count on The Traveler, it may have brought old humanity a golden age of wonders, but even all of humanities advancements weren't enough to even begin to compensate for what followed it. If there is anything the Collapse taught is it is that The Traveler may be many of things, but is not omnipotent. Look at us now, we can't even trek and expand on our [i]own [/i]planet. What's left of humanity is cramped inside the walls of the city counting the days until the next Twilight Gap that threatens to end humanity for good. All this while our invaders are marching around our own solar system like they own the place. The city is only kept safe partly thanks to The Travelers knowledge and gifts, the people who truly keep this city safe are guardians, guardians who have learned to harness and use the gifts passed from The Traveler. The Traveler did its best, but in order to maximize our chances of survival we must learn to fight for ourselves with it, should it ever leave us or should it ever finally collapse. We must expand from The Travelers safety and slowly begin to build frontiers and safe zones of our own. We sure as hell cannot rely on a monarch! When you're dealing with humanity's survival, the worst thing anyone can do is elect [b]ONE[/b] person to call the shots. One person [i]cannot[/i] speak for everyone, the best one person can do is select the most popular option via majority rules. That's assuming the monarch actually agrees with the majority and disregards the minority, the real problems begins when there is a wedge between a monarch and the people being governed. There is cryptic stories of earth in the time way before the Traveler. Stories of pre-Golden Age Old-Russian man supposedly made of steel, who ruled an entire country with fear rather than consent. This is not a picture perfect prediction of what [i]will[/i] happen, just a grizzly reminder of what [i]can[/i] happen. The line between a monarch and a dictator is as thin as the edge of Hunters’ blade. Everything the New monarchy preaches is only the best case scenario, and anyone who supports a monarch is either unable or unwilling to make and defend their own decisions. The FWC are at least commendable for their realism in war, their obsession with it may be questionable but at least they’re more realistic than thinking a king can solve all their problems. If you don’t constantly work towards understanding and adapting to your ever-changing environment, it will eventually leave you behind. Yes, we mourn the Earth, and we mourn what it once was, but we have no interest in dying along with it. If we stop desperately trying to cling on to the past we can build new frontiers worth fighting for, it will be a long and painful process, but it is possible. [u]Join us, support us, or get out of our way.[/u] /* If anyone wants to step in and make propaganda for other factions, that would be AWESOME! */

  • The only constant is war. Go to the stars and war will follow. If the reef teaches anything it is the folly of dreaming you can run. We will fight, we must fight. Those tempered in the fires of combat know this truth. Join us and you will learn the other secrets. If you want the squabbling of old crows and boylovers, join the Monarchy. If you want to run rather than stand and fight for all you hold dear, then Dead Orbit has room for you on their funeral barges. If you want to be the few to stand up to the overwhelming power of the darkness, and laugh as they fall before you, then the Future War Cult is ready to facilitate your rebirth through combat.
