Silver, I love the theories you have regarding the 5th. The only part I am hoping for is that the 5th will not involve the Nictus, that they will have realized that they were part of their problem. I dont recall Reichsman having been infected with the Nictus in the story canon (I know the other famous 5th leaders were Vandal, Requium) but I would rather see their purge be a true purge of the old including the Nictus.
High Beam - 50 Blaster Energy/Ice - 1228 Badges
Munitions Mistress - 50 Mercs/Traps
Many Other 50's, Too Many Alts, All On Freedom
Just Because You Can, Doesn't Mean You Should!
Personally, I'd like to see the 5th return with the Praetorian's fingers pulling the strings. Shoot, just for kicks and giggles I'd like to see the good version of Lord Recluse. Would be a sweet mission to team-up with Lord Recluse and fight Tyrant & Dominatrix.

[/ QUOTE ]My part of the synopsis wasn't because the Nictus were apart of the 5th, but because the Council are seeking protection from Reichsman and the 5th, thus the Nictus and evil Peacebringers, will join with Arachnos or become villain options.

Psst - the race isn't Peacebringers, it's Kheldians (just like Warshades are a sub-group of Nictus)... 
Anyhow, I assume that the villain EATs will be the "unaffiliated" Nictus (ie, non-Council) and Kheldians (whether Nictus slaves or just "bad apples" of their race). That would kind of mirror the "good guy" Peacebringers & Warshades that heroes get as EATs. Personally, I don't like how Peacebringers & Warshades play, so unless the villain versions are significantly different, I'm not really looking forward to it (but that's not really relevant).
Finally... I kind of hope the space/moon stuff isn't related to the "return of the 5th Column". I mean, seriously, that's totally B-movie sci-fi stuff right there... "Nazis... IN SPAAAAaaaace!" 
Psst, they are both kheldians and whenever the EATs are talked aobut in general, they get genericed as kheldians. When I say evil Peacebringers, because we have no idea what they will be called. It's pretty straight forward the Nictus will be referred to as Nictus.
The new Rikti are lookin sexy. Can't wait for I-10.
