Alright...I can understand how calling each other names is a bit like a couple of 5 year olds fighting over as toy car, and for the most part, people tend to have a "Can't we all just get along" attitude. But let's look at the game. And let's review the history of the world. Omni Tek brought everyone to Rubi Ka ( for the most part ) to mine Notum. Clanners, Neuts, and OT were all the same thing - the workforce. Atrox were created by OT to do the labor. Opifex were the messangers, and Nano the paper pushers, and scientists. Since this is a corporate animal we have here, we can't forget that Solitus were dispersed throughout all fields. These are what the breeds were created for. This does not mean that's all they are good for ( just so you didn't think I was being a biggit ).

Now, let's assume for a moment, that Rubi Ka has the same rotational period that Earth has. This means that there are 24 hours in a day ( just as a basis, regardless if this is true on Rubi Ka ) You slave away in a dark hole for 20 hours a day. You get no food....very little in the way of drinkable substance, and the area you are working in is no where close to being stable. You tell your boss, "Sir, we need to do something about this area...it's not safe." And he replies, "No prob. I'll tell the manager...just go back to work."

Now time passes. You make friends with those around you...because that's what you do when working in a hole hundreds of feet below the surface...you make friends, so they can watch your back...and you can watch theirs. Now one day, you're moving this notum, and there's a tremor...not a big one - just enough to make the surroundings clouded with dust. Your best friend comes around the corner to give you a hand, and suddenly...the suport gives out above him, and he's smothered by the dirt. Now, you know it's not right to have a wooden support beam 500 feet below the surface. You should be using Poly-steel supports. You shout to your friend, and try in vain to pull him from the seeping dirt. By the time you and the others get to him, his lungs are crushed, and there is nothing the doc can do. This is the time before RECLAIM technology. A few days later, you go on strike with the rest of your friends. The corporation needs to install better working conditions before you're ready to go back into that hellish night. But your pleads go unheard. Soon, you hear of other structural collapse where more people have died. More people form up with you...better working conditions...and while they are at it, they need to increase medical coverage. And perhaps better pay....it's so damned expensive to buy food these days.

About a week later, you see your boss coming towards you and the outlying camp that you and the strikers have made. Your boss sets down a holographic projector, and an image appears. " Miners, you work for the Omni Tek corporation. You've taken an unauthorized break, and must now resume work. If you do not begin working again, Omni Pol will enforce a presigned contract." What a joke, right? But Omni Pol comes...and begins firing into your peaceful strike. You and your friends run screaming into the wilderness. Families ripped apart, people dropping where they stood - mouth agap looking in astonishment.

Years later, you are still with what is left of your friends. Others have joined you can, some have left. People from the managing sections, research, educational facilities have joined with your group in protest. You all help each other in day to day affairs. You are more like one giant family rather then seperate entities. Omni Tek has put you in the news, time and again. They call you 'clanners' like it's some vicisous disease. You still fight the injustice they did you...you still protest the harms of your past.

That is what it was like to be part of The Clans....in the beginning.


Those of you that left this group of people, most of you got tired. Or didn't care. You quit Omni Tek, and it doesn't make a bit of difference what anyone says. You are a Neutral - affectionately called a 'neut'. You take no side, except your own. If the Clanners or Omni Tek want to help you out on your way....then so be it. Business is business.


There are some of you who stayed. Whether it's because of the money, or because you believe that Omni Tek is doing the right thing. That's your concern. It's your future. You believe that there is a right way for everything...and everything must go through the proper channels before anything can be done in an orderly fashion. You are titled Omni Tek, or 'OT'....or even as a 'corp'.

One thing remains united within all of you. Rubi Ka is your home...and hell take the person willing to try and steal that from you. That's been shown. Both the Clans, and Omni Tek took up arms when ICC sent in troops to try and calm everything down. But today it's a different story. Clanners think they own the world...and Omni Tek just wants to mine it. The Neuts are cool...as long as no one starts shooting at them, and the wildlife is slowly expanding. Today, it's a much more interesting story. Radicals race through out the world, attacking strategic, and sometime civilan targets in an attempted to bring an end to the other side. Clan attacks Omni....Omni attacks Clan. Very much more interesting. The question isn't whether someone is shouting pro clan slogans, or demanding submission before execution. The real question, is which side are you on? And how are you going to handle it?
