I totally agree with you here. The Mobius Group would be a sub group of the PF that, just like the PF itself, does not tolerate it's members to be aggressive against each other, just much more strictly so. Breaching of the rules will not only be punished by putting a bounty on the head of the aggressor, but actually a ban from the group. (Sounds familiar, doesn't it? )
It would have a touch of an order or Lodge, like the Oddfellows.
The order or lodge would be called, let's say, the "Pilot's Federation Mobius Group" (I'm serious here!)
And surprisingly, the symbol of the order or lodge would be the mobius strip
I really think that the choice Mobius did so many years ago for his gaming name, by coincidence fits perfectly as the name of such an organisation within the Pilot's Federation.
We could flesh out the lore a little here and there, but all in all I see no in-game reason against such a group within the PF.
Now, if we are all really nice to FD, maybe, just maybe they might consider taking up the idea and actually code some of the group mechanics into the game they talked about during kickstarter like auto-kick when destroying a member of the group and other controls helping in the in-game administration. Poor Mobius's accept-click-finger!
