Can a non-Hiver join a Hiver Club?
Opinions welcome.

PS. There's a fellow in my newest campaign who rolled up a movie producer
under the MegaTrav rules (yes, it can be done!) and who'd dealt with the Hivers
in his youth and had learned about the Manipulators' Club. So he sent a sealed
Proposal to Glea and then made a documentary on an unstable political system
in the Solomani Rim on a relatively little-visited world, ostensibly to make
the Imperial public aware of the problem but actually to pique the interest
of a rival megacorporation, who upon seeing his film decided to turn a profit
on the current situation and who sent a good-sized army there. Years later,
the political mess reached the Imperium's ears and the film was used as
evidence in the trial of the megacorp VP who'd ordered the action, who just
happened to be the fellow who'd gotten the character fired twenty years ago
and embittered him against life in general! So to embarrass this ex-boss, my
player had started a small war, toppled a government or two, and gotten a lot
of people killed. And now he's waiting to hear from Glea as to whether or not
he's been accepted into the Manipulators' Club.
I'm tempted to give it to him; he really did have it all worked out.
