The Legacy Clans (omni departments can be found in the third post)
decisionmaking:
Conservative: This means this clan takes a long time to decide over something and will go for least change in the rules that already exist. Their policies on the other hand will cause least uproar and tend to be well founded.
Moderate: This is the middle road between conservatives and radicals. They tend to be more open for bigger change and tend to be quicker in deciding, but will mostly be led by well founded arguments and policies. Moderates are the masters of compromise.
Radical: Radical tends to make policies based on whims and emotions. their ideals/beliefs tend to black out any form of compromise and if they do it'll be very reluctant and after as much delaying as possible.
When they decide however they want it to happen As soon as possible and will work to accomplish this.
Radicals tend to allow for quick and big changes, but often the changes in policy tend to be less thought through than for example with moderates.
The Knights of Avalon
(conservative decision-making. undecided in omni/clan conflict)
Leader: Sir Tristram Solis
Location: Avalon
Background:
One of the most attractive clans to new Rebels, their leader Lord Galahad demands that they live by the ancient English chivalry code of the early middle Ages. They are courageous and idealistic and a definite thorn in the side of the hyper corporation. (Stratics)
Tristram was a foundling raised by his father Sir Jeromey Solis a member of Lord Galahad’s Inner Circle and best friend to Sir Beargar as they assisted Galahad in his work for the Clans and Redeemed. Jeromey was one of the Knights leading Galahad’s first front attacks against the unredeemed and lost his life early in the beginning of this struggle.
Showing many of the same characteristics his father had Tristram was sent to train in Galahads Shadowlands sanctuary to learn and train to serve Galahad in the same capacity as his father had. His easy manner and commitment to the cause of the Redeemed and his Lord Galahad this young man was sent to replace his fathers Knight brother Beargar in representation to the Council of Truth.
Feelings about the CoT:
Lord Galahad may as well have Tristram on his lap and be speaking as a ventriloquist for the commitment the Knight has openly to his Lord’s agenda. Galahad wants the Clans united as a cohesive body in order to fight off the Unredeemed and Omni-Tek threats. The inner squabbling must stop in order for everyone to see the truth and the plight of the redeemed should be come paramount.
The Sentinels
(Radical decision-making. pro-conflict in omni/clan conflict)
Leader: Simon Silverstone
Location: Tir/Mort
Background:
Based in the town of Sparta, which doubles as a military base where basic training is offered to new clan members. They do not hesitate to use violence to complete a mission and whenever something happens to the Corporation they Sentinels are the first to be blamed. (Stratics)
Much is known about the Sentinels, as they are perhaps the most outspoken of all the clans, and are quite large. They rule all of Tir, as their guards have free reign through the city. They are pro-war and want nothing but to completely destroy the corporation.
They are almost as angry at the neutrals, if not more so, for their inability to choose a side. They made this apparent by completely banning all neutrals as well as Omni citizens from Tir.
Simon Silverstone is a charismatic, powerful, and overall very cocky leader. He is outspoken and very opinionated, and is unashamed of his hatred for just about every who disagrees with him.
As well as being perhaps one of the biggest and most powerful clans, the Sentinels are also seen as the most destructive by every other clan. Even if they had wanted to be a strong force in the Council, the Council probably would have refused Silverstone any major power in it. The only people who dislike the Sentinels more than the other clans, though, is Omni-Tek.
The Sentinels are responsible for numerous incidents that the corporation has deemed "terrorist attacks," and the only thing longer than the file Omni-Pol has on Silverstone is the recently published Encyclopedia of Everything (which is, as the name would suggest, an encyclopedia that details EVERY piece of knowledge and history that solitus’ have acquired in the past; everything from quantum mechanics to recipes for goloala burgers, "If you've thought about it, we wrote about it in the Encyclopedia of Everything.").
The Sentinels have few allies, as most of the clanners either love or hate them, and those that love them usually just join up with them. However, most of the Council realizes the importance and the power that the Sentinels hold, even if they are totally disgusted by it. Ultimately, as far as how the Sentinels view the other clans, if a clan isn't pro-war, it isn't with the Sentinels.
Feelings about the CoT:
As much as the Sentinels wish to completely ignore the other clans, and as much as they probably could and get away with it, the Sentinels have an appreciation of PR in their own way. Ultimately, the majority of clanners are in favor of the Council, and while the Sentinels don’t care much about impressing Radiman or any of the major clans, they do understand that they have a lot of support from clanners that they would loose if they completely disregarded the Council. So, the Sentinels reluctantly take part, and try to point out as much as possible that they don’t think they should need to take part in the Council.
Attitude Towards the Other Clans:
Unionists: The Sentinels have a lot of respect for the Unionists for their willingness to work, as well as their mutual hatred for Omni-Tek.
Terra Firma: The Sentinels see politics as a necessary part of war, and so they understand the necessity for Terra Firma.
Knights: The Sentinels see the Knights as weak powerless due to their indecisive attitude towards the war. To the Sentinels, the Knights are all show and they see them more as Radiman's yes-men than anything else.
New Dawn: The Sentinels have no love for New Dawn, mainly because they have no desire for any negotiations with Omni-Tek.
Pilgrims: The only thing the Sentinels despise more than the corporation is neutrals, and the Pilgrims' willingness to help neutrals as well as Clanners has put them on the Sentinels bad list.
Vanguard: To the Sentinels, Vanguard are nothing more than spineless businessmen, and this view is quite similar to the one the Sentinels' have of Omni-Tek.
Eco Warriors: The Sentinels respect the outrageousness of the Eco Warriors demands, and while they have no plan of leaving Rubi-Ka anytime soon, the Sentinels have no problems helping everyone else leave the planet.
Gaia: Like the Eco Warriors, the Sentinels respect that Gaia is so 'out-there'. However, while they are not against Gaia, the two clans have little in common other than their radical attitudes.
The Pilgrims
In a surprising turn of events the Prilgrims decided ... to leave the
terraformed regions of Rubi-ka to travel into the outzones.

(Moderate decision-making. Pro-peace in omni/clan conflict)
Leader: Kreista Tobarl
Location:
They have no fixed headquarters living in a mobile tent city to the North and East of Camelot. It is said that a message sent care of the Knights will read them though. Loc: 1550 3654 505
Background:
The Pilgrims have a history of wandering the wilds of RK saving Neutral and Clanner folks who end up attacked by a dangerous animal or too deep in the desert without water or food. Kreista was one of these saved though the salvation was a reluctant one. A woman of middle-age she had left her husband and children behind in Newland City when she felt a “Calling” to the wilds. She heard the land crying to her and began to wander North and was found by a group of Pilgrims near death. Meeting people that felt and understood her unexplained physiological calling by the land drew her to The Pilgrims instantly and she fell into their fold; her new family.
Feelings about the CoT:
As a guild, The Pilgrims are dedicated to the search for knowledge and discovery around the world of Rubi-Ka. Their desire for learning new things and exploring new places lead their members to roam the wilds of Rubi-ka from North to South. It is for this reason that they are unhappy with Omni-Tek and its restrictive policies keeping their members from roaming as freely as they would wish. This stifling of access to knowledge in the Omni-Tek territories is one of the Pilgrims main points they will bring up and wish for from the Council.
Terra Firma
(Moderate decision-making. pro-conflict in omni/clan conflict)
Leader: Hayden Okoli Solitus
Location: unknown
Background:
While Terra Firma is relatively new and small as compared to the other clan guilds, it has quickly gained a lot of support throughout the North due to Okoli's political charisma. Terra Firma does not seek conflict out of a desire for a completely clan-ruled planet, but instead they seek a democratic Rubi-Ka where both Omni-Tek and the clans have an equal part in governing the planet.
Terra Firma bases it’s guild on the same democratic principles which it hopes to see being used to govern Rubi-Ka in the future. When asked how he continues to be the electoral victor in leadership contentions Okoli basis it on the respect he has earned. "The system works," he says, "and one day it will work for Rubi-Ka." It is widely believed that if democracy did come to Rubi-Ka Okoli would be a shoe-in for high office.
Hayden Okoli is a politician through-and-through. Though he has compassion and desire for the clans to be free, he knows only bureaucracy, and so his plan for freedom is not simple. Though he once sought to end the conflict through peaceful means, he has realized that this is an unrealistic goal.
Feelings about the CoT:
Terra Firma whole-heartedly supports the Council in all its efforts to try to end the conflict, though it is wary of how often they seem to pander to the will of Omni-Tek. Terra Firma is an active and proud member of the Council. They believe that the Council is a good example of the effectiveness of democracy and the power of the people.
Attitude towards the Other Clans:
Unionists: Terra Firma allies itself closely with the Unionists, because Okoli feels that since the Unionists are seen as the clan for the working class, it would give Terra Firma a lot of pull with a large population of the Clanners.
Sentinels: Okoli has been known to support Simon Silverstone and his Sentinels, hoping to get their support for the war to come and for after the war. Terra Firma's dealings with the Sentinels are mostly behind closed doors, though, since the Sentinels are so unpopular.
Knights: Terra Firma finds itself conflicting most with the Knights, as Terra Firm sees the Knights' sense of honor and justice as crude and out-dated ways of going about things. To Terra Firma, honor is nowhere near as important as results.
New dawn: Terra Firma sees New Dawns' desire for a peaceful resolution both as unrealistic and in conflict with Terra Firma's desire for a diplomatic Rubi-Ka, which it thinks Omni-Tek would never support.
Pilgrims: Like the Unionists, Terra Firma realizes the popularity and therefore political power of the Pilgrims. While the Pilgrims pacifism counts against them in Terra Firma's eyes, it still sees the Pilgrims as an untapped resource as far as getting support from the other clans and the neutrals.
Vanguard: Politics need money to run, and so Terra Firma has a special place in its heart for the Vanguard clan.
Eco Warriors: Terra Firma sees the Eco Warriors desire to leave Rubi-Ka as both unreasonable and infeasible.
Gaia: To Terra Firma, the environmentalist vote is currently a non-issue, and like the Pilgrims, Gaia is pacifistic and so that makes them lose points with Terra Firma.
