@Gorzill/Zilla/Glynn: Teah, not so much rebels as, say, about half of the NE that chooses not to go along with the Persan's plan for the Enlightenment Collaborative at the last minute. This actually ties in very well with what I had been planning for Elegant'e, who'll become Light-corrupted as you say.

What I had in mind is that, basically, since the Persan were the ones who got the EC back together, the other sates are so awed that they give the Persan free reign to reform the EC as they see fit. The Persan reforms are great and such, and the other sates support them, spurring the Persan on. As their mandate broadens, however, the Persan fall into an age old trap that no one (not the Persan, nor France, nor the Waptoria) is immune to: power.

Basically, they begin to project/implement their favoritism (which, again, all states have) on a Collabortaive-wide scale. Now the Persan have never hidden that they balantly favor the Warrior-Hunters over the Olympians, and this shows. Basically they argue that the Olympians are outdated and, since the Persan have already developped their replacemets, funding to the project should be stopped. They succeed. Meanwhile, they argue that those funds should go to the Warrior-Hunter project. Again, they suceed.

Of course, this sits badly with the surviving Olympians, who also worked tooth and nail to keep the ideals of the EC alive in the NE, and now, as "thanks" for their efforts, get replaced. Then the news breaks that the Persan used the Persan Chapters to create the Sephirah Hosts, finally explaining why they didn't show up to join the NE.

The surviving Ahrats ( Epizoume, Alphahpla, Raballut, and Tyndar) are royally pissed off by this breach in the Olympian oath (aside from the EC in it's unity, a Creed shall to answer to any one government, regardless of origin), and confront the reforged Vice Jaw/Aspira with this. The two actually defend this (the Olympians are not Creeds any longer, it was necessary, you are corrupted by light already, ect), prompting Epizoume to attack attack Aspira, only to find that his bold rounds completely deplect off Star Shell armor. He gets thelepaticaly thrown against a wall with such force that his own armor scatters. Aspira explains that Sephirah equipment is created to deal with traitor Olympians, and bluntly states that she can end even an Ahrat like Epizoume in an heartbeat now. She tells the Ahrats to follow the orrders of the Allaince as should be their duty and to disband their Chapters to prevent further bloodshed.

Both Pollux and Konrad throw a hissy fit at this (Pollux outright daring the Sephirah to try and destroy him) and sends a transmission to gather any and all Chapters his message reaches to him, much like Elegant'e did with the fromation of the NE. The Hosts attack the gathering onboard at the Ceaseless Crusader, flagship of the Black Crusaders, in force. As expected, things go (very) badly for the Olympians, and the Hosts repeatedly call for rheor foe sto surrented, to be refused each time by Pollux. In the end, the Olympians are only saved by Elegant'e, who miraculously pushes the Hosts off-ship (and is actually a Saint now). No idea what happens next.

The reason for the Koatria not to follow trough with the Persan plan is much easier - "Light is good, Darkness is bad" is basically the reason they exist. Each and every one of them (expect Niyra/Dark Koatria) draw their powers from -and are, to a certain extend, even animated by- Light. Their entire idea on corruption is that, to allow any form of Darkness within them, is to fall. In essence, I can see a potential Hydrarax-Niyra conflict here, vanguard against designated sucessor.
