[@6slyboy6] its ok, i am sure the mekhar made the wrong decision. because i am going to form the alliance in a way i am sure they will disapprove of. and no, i am not intentionally being difficult. im playing a band of blood thirsty pirates who think exploiting and black mailing everyone to join is a perfectly reasonable plan. oh, which other races do you mean? the Order? they seem pretty pro-empire unless i missed something. so they are are seen as enemies. and the Rarians and... the other group is human isnt it? so... they are human and there for enemies. and the plant people im working off the assumption that the Gargan dont know them yet. (note: i may be retarded and missed something, and am down a pint of blood at the moment so i may be slightly more retarded right now)
