People overreact to factions based on name and colors for some reason. DO aren't cowards trying to run away. They see this solar system as a lost cause. Ok, so we beat back the darkness and all the other alien races... Then what? Rebuild on a planet already mined of its resources? Repopulate Venus, half taken by the Vex? Can't live on the other gas giants and Pluto is too damn small and cold... Why not expand and explore the vast universe? I'm with Dead Orbit all the way. Time to evolve and move out of the crib we call Earth.
