The Lurians demanded the Lighthouse, didn't they? I can't imagine how D'Hara or anyone else in the Moot would be able to stomache a shared realm project when the Lurians clearly want to take advantage of D'Hara, its previous situation a clear example. Matt himself even pointed out the relative importance of Qubel to D'Hara. Makes you wonder...
You realise Matt WAS the Duke of the lighthouse, and the Lurian claim is based on his families claim right? After all D'Hara can barely hold Port Nebel, without some radical change the chances of them EVER holding the lighthouse again are marginal.
Besides, it isn't the Lurian empire that is making suggestions of a shared effort, we are generally attracting enough new player to make us look to the next colony effort once the current one is completed, all the back stabbing seems to be a great recruitment tool.
