Obsidian Order

The Obsidian Order, often referred to as The Order, was a faction originally formed under the Terran Empire, now called New Byzantium, as its intelligence service. 
== History ==
=== Formation ===
Shortly after the Terran Empire's reveal to the meta, the Obsidian Order was formed to replace Section 32. Though it served under Terra, it functioned autonomously with the goal of providing intelligence to Terra and its allies in an efficient and organized way while being secure. Its members were also held in high regards compared to Terra, as they were expected to be more well-mannered.
=== Six-Gate Controversy ===
Main article: Six-Gate Conspiracy
After Terra reformed into the Orovian Republic (OR), members of the community began to grow suspicious of its leader, Six of Nine. They theorized that Six and Mathias were the same person and got many faction leaders involved to test the theory. After this was confirmed to be true, OR and OO were placed under GMAP administration due to the initial distrust. The two factions also became subsidiary factions under Cat-Gopher Industries since CatGopher98 was elected as the Head of State for both of them. To increase communication, an alliance called the United Orion Coalition (UOC) was formed, mocking the name of the United Assault Coalition since they disbanded. However, UOC also disbanded and the deal was dropped after OR reformed into New Byzantium.
=== New Byzantium ===
OO originally merged back into Orovia as it was not needed and took up space. However, after New Byzantium replaced OR, OO was brought back.
