-Seeing the polysentience as the singular unifying factor of the Deoradh race, and the only 'true' territory that the race should hold, they unexpectedly began to gain popularity overnight in every single splinter group of the now-scattered voidfolk community. In particular it is supported by spacers who made peace with [[faction:yamatai_star_empire|Yamatai]], [[faction:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia|Nepleslia]] or [[corp:origin|Origin Industries]], as well as [[faction:freespacers:freespacer_types#type_twos|Type Twos]] who fear the oppression that a return of the old Free State would bring. Strangely, this makes their willingness to operate on planet-bound facilities actually rather high. +Seeing the polysentience as the singular unifying factor of the Deoradh race, and the only 'true' territory that the race should hold, they unexpectedly began to gain popularity overnight in every single splinter group of the now-scattered voidfolk community.

 Typically, the [[faction:freespacers:astral_locksmiths|Astral Locksmiths]] have been refused them access to the [[faction:freespacers:ley_lines|Ley Line gate system]] as a result of their political views, but they are beginning to utilize native FTL technology (sometimes entire vessels) to circumvent this regardless.

-Out of all the foreign powers, they have the most respectable relationship with the [[:independent|USO Star Organisation]]. The organisation was founded upon a dismantled monarchy after all, and there are many free market opportunities to take advantage of within such a young and bustling economy.

 Individual members are often known as 'Wireheads'. Joining the Wire Guided is completely free to anyone, regardless of race, religion, or synthetic nature. The only restriction is that they must have a connection to the polysentience with which to share information, be it traditional [[faction:freespacers:mindware|mindware]], the nepleslian [[technology:nepleslia:nepleslian_mindware|knock-off]], or using [[species:nekovalkyrja:nekovalkyrja_type_33#wireless_communication|nekovalkyrja radio transmissions]] with a plug-in program. Individual members are often known as 'Wireheads'.

 On the other hand, Wireheads that belong to another parent organisation are not actually expected to partake in subversive activities (such as cracking the technology they are involved with) if it would put their life or personal livelihood at risk.

-It's also worth noting that Wire Guided members hold little if no regard towards original [[faction:freespacers:freespacers#castes|Freespacer types]], to the point where newly born individuals may not be given a traditional type class at all.

-Regardless of current affairs, Yamatai has a bit of a rocky history when it comes to the rights of [[character:tweak|defective nekovalkyrja]], and those who [[guide:nmx_nekovalkyrja|once belonged to the NMX]]. Those that speculate manipulation of this grey area on the part of the powers that be, specifically 'shadow' organisations like [[stararmy:saint|SAINT]], can find solace and comradery in the arms of the Wire Guided.

 Nepleslia is an even less forgiving capitalist powerhouse, with all sorts of organisations creating personalized cybernetic beings for less than savoury reasons. With extreme corruption on one side, and the [[faction:nepleslia:ipg|IPG]] on the other, it's only natural that some would look further afield for a more trustworthy helping hand. Nepleslia is an even less forgiving capitalist powerhouse, with all sorts of organisations creating personalized cybernetic beings for less than savoury reasons.

-Further funds were then acquired by assisting with the development of [[:independent|USO]] vessels like the [[faction:uso:broadsword_light_cruiser]], money which went to buying a substantial fleet of free market Origin Industries vessels.+
