Could it be that we misread it? And they are actually members of the TO but when the Vasari show up and the TO starts talking about going to war to push the Vasari out the Opulentsia broke free of the singleminded TO and pretty much became the Opposition to War refusing to accept that the Vasari were unable to be talked to. Most of these individuals would be very rich thanks to their companies have close ties to the TO government. But with the TO proposing to shift their efforts from peaceful trade efforts to a war machine it threatened these Opulentsia's interests in the TO and this brought debate which slowed the efforts of the other TO Rep's from forming the TEC. These same Opulentsia's would form their own Party in the TEC and fight for control of it. Surely 25 years after the Vasari first attacked they would become the majority as many would become disillusioned with the war and want change. Allowing the Opulentsia to attempt negotiations with the Vasari and Advent in an attempt to bring the fighting to a stand still.

That sounds good, but how did we misread it? I'm just confused on that. Sounds like we read it fine.

i personally still think the Opulentsia is a group of independent planets/nations inside the Trade Order. To continue our conversation.

Well I plan to take some time and update the OP this weekend.

I dont see a general agreement on anything really though. I know each seperate fan fiction is going to have their own twist the TEC and other factions. I have a huge write up for the Steel Command version. I was hoping we could agree on some basic details yet it still escapes us on all but the Vasari topic.

If yall want I can take some the ideas Ive gotten from this post + my Steel Command TEC and give you my full opinon, on everything I have TEC. They you guys can rip it apart and judge it as yall see fit. Maybe that will give us a base to get some agreement on something?

I have a rather important question. What exactly are the terms to becoming a member planet in the Trade Order? Also, have the terms changed from the Trade Order to the TEC? (are some things not longer needed, are other things added)

I haven't given this much thought yet, but here are the first few that I think would head the list.

1.) A member planet will not assault or be involved in an assault on another member planet.

2.) A member planet will not assault a nonmember planet unless specifically advised to by the Trade Order Council (TOC).

3.) A member planet will agree to give economic aid to another member planet, within reason and if asked.

4.) A member planet will present one representative from its planet at the Trade Order Council (TOC) for an 8 year term.

5.) A member planet will democratically elect its representative to the Trade Order Council.

6.) A member planet will agree to have its government democratically elected.

...can't think of more for now but you see how it goes. Remember that anything not stated in the terms of membership would be prohibited to a member planet (or at least able to be taken to court for). So this list should be very, very long. Ideas?

I would like to add more but politics is not my style. Will try to think of something, I know Carbon has a lot to say but he is constantly busy as of late (work) so when he might respond I don't know. Don't be afraid to continue on your own though, you have a very good imagination.

Ok thanks volt! Yeah ryat, politics isnt really my speciality either. im using the treaty of versailles and other such treaties (as well as constitutions and stuff) to put together one for the Trade Order. NOT easy tho. and i no ill forget things that u guys will pick up.

Well, I'm not entirely sure, but if the Southern Confederacy had a constitution, then that would be a good place to start as it was a confederacy.  Also, the UN is more or less a confederacy.

These ought to be good starting points...

The Southern Confederacy did have a constitution of sorts, it was based off of the Articles of Confederacy which was in place just after the end of the Revolutionary War for about 10 years

Articles of Confederation..  The folly of the post-revolution US, of course the Northwest Ordinance was one good thing that came out of it.  It turned my state and the neighboring ones into grids.  Yay for simplicity.
