Apologies again for the large delay, this seems to be taking a bit longer than anticipated. To make up for this, I have a big change to announce.
Recently, the option has now opened up for the Order to become a separate species (as opposed to human or near-human), which I will be taking. Although I don't yet know what they'll look like, I have a few ideas as to what they will be. In essence, they would be entirely composed of genetically engineered castes, which will be divided according to intended function. For example, a mechanic in the Supply Division (see previous post) would be more muscular and stocky, since they're intended to work with heavy machinery. By contrast, a military pilot would have shorter appendages and more robust internal organs to deal with high G-forces, as well as enhanced reaction times. Additionally, I will be making changes to the history to justify their present state, though I'm not going to talk about those just yet as they involve another faction which I need to look into both IC and OOC.
In closing, remember to update your vote as the idea changes - this helps me to know if I'm making progress or not. And, as always, make sure to comment with any suggestions or concerns you might have.
