Over the months there has been a lot of increasing hostility between various Clans and Neutrals. Part of this is understandable with the Sentinels Clan trying to aggravate Clans against neutrals and Omni-Tek agents and mercenaries pushing neutral forces into an aggressive stance with Clans.
While some neutrals like ICC are naturally hostile to the Clans because of their corporate leanings, most neutrals and Clans have very positive historical relations.
While Clans and Neutrals will retain their differences regarding the Rubi-Kan conflict, Clans have respected neutral desire to be independent from Omni-Tek in the past. Clans built the neutral whompa network and Newland city was once a stopping point between the Clan capitol of Tir and the Clan major city of Old Athen. Somehow it has just become a merchant center to a large Omni-Tek strike force using Newland to reach into Clan lands and attack Clans. Neutral lands have become in large part shut off to Clans while Omnis had free access and somewhat vice versa.
Neutral reporters have been hostile and spewing inaccurate facts about the Clans, while some organizations side exclusively with Omni-Tek in the tower battles. Likewise many Clans have gravitated to a more anti-neutral stance because of these actions. As seen in the Sentinel support in the Council of Truth, banning of neutrals from the most popular Clan raid bots, and refusal to allow neutral reporters and observers into either chamber of the Council.
If things continue to deteriorate there will be no such thing as neutrals, but merely expendable pawns of Omni-Tek until they absorb neutrals entirely as the "corporate citizens" they already claim you are. Clans will stand alone in the universe without support we vitally need to survive and thrive on Rubi-Ka. Both sides may imperil their very existance!
I ask that the two sides come closer together. The Clans largest and most active city welcomes Neutrals. Clan Vanguard runs shops that neutrals can use, Clans seeking teams for missions will often accept neutrals, and together we can build important ties to restore mutual respect and closer political ties to each other.
I ask for more ideas to improve relations between Clans and Neutrals. How would you see both sides brought closer together?
