That's actually a rather good description of the alliance as a whole, yes.

Heh, reminds me of my occasional temptations to play with my intelligence agencies and infiltrate and compromise most of y'all to the ear tips and eyeballs.
However, time aside, I'm not sure I want to give you folks ideas - afterall, I know the holes in my own security.
I joined during the second Shivan War, after previously allying myself with the Shivans. ICly, because the Mekantans wanted to be on the winning side and be in a position to betray whichever side pissed them off. OOCly? For the lulz.

I was looking for something to do on NS, and ended up finding Facehugger's Civil War. After looking around the ESUS a bit more, I thought that I could learn a bit from hanging out here, so I applied. And the rest... is stupidity.
I joined right after the GA collapsed, icly, right after the conclusion of the Second SHivan war.
I was all big and bad with my 2 bil pop or whatever it was.

We always have been, we are, and I hope that we always shall be detested in France. ~ Sir Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington "Everywhere you prod it, even with the shortest stick, the established system isn't simply corrupt, it's unequivocally putrescent. The law is created by demonstrable criminals, enforced by demonstrable criminals, interpreted by demonstrable criminals, all for demonstrably criminal purposes. Of course I'm above the law. And so are you." (L. Neil Smith) " La perfection est atteinte non quand il ne reste rien à ajouter, mais quand il ne reste rien à enlever.
I joined the original ESUS back when it was only 14 members at its height. Then I tried to join the GA, which I was denied entry (highly amusing seeing as Klonor eventually joined the ESUS because of me). Then I revived the ESUS after it went defunct and grew it with Mindset to its Golden Age. Damn, that was ages ago.
