Lore question: Multiple Ordises?

So... A weird question bothers me for quite a while now. It is canon that we're not the only Tenno, however what about the ship cefalon? What I mean is, is there, canonwise, a copy of Ordis on every orbiter or every Tenno should have their own cefalon?

Canon wise, the other players don't exist and will never matter or do anything that matters. The tenno are clearly defined as a faction, so there's probably a bunch of other ones running around doing unimportant duties in the background, and they'd most likely have their own cephalons or none at all.

It's a pretty common MMO writing thing, I think; as a game it's multiplayer, as a story Only You Matter

A fellow Tenno Is raiding the ship for much needed supplies. Make your presence known"

How forse this Tenno know where to go? And how these supplies are shared?

If you are in a full squad, he finds 5 Hornet Strikes. One for you and the rest of the team and one for him.

If there are, they're copies of the original mind. This is possible - Cephalon Sark exists both as a Conclave Cephalon and as the Index Announcer. 

However, Ordis as we know him may well be unique even if this is true. Remember - he went through a fairly in-depth process of finding himself and discovering the Beast of Bones and then attempted suicide. This may not have happened to all Ordis copies - some may never have thought about their old selves and thus just be the 'happy' persona, probably with less sarcasm as well. If there are any that went through the same process, most probably either went through with their suicide, and others may never have attempted it, resulting in the full resurfacing of the Beast of Bones.

That's only if there are other copies though - Simaris suggests that Ordis is the only one of his kind - a series-2 Cephalon, so either only one was made, or he's the only one that survived. That doesn't discount any others being made, but only our Ordis survives, most likely.

No, he finds 4, wants to keep one for himself, but he's threatened by Lotus to give everything to the survival team or he'll be stuck in a cryopod again.

To not bother going too deep into the lore, I believe Ordis was turned into a cephalon, with his memories "erased". Before this he fought ruthlessly in the old war, which is why he has the violent glitches. Therefore, there is only one Ordis, however there could be different ship cephalons, referenced by Ordis in one of his quoted about upgrading mods "maybe I will meet a similar fate, some day".

They do exist since people, even back during the game's launch where the lore barely existed, always knew who the Tenno were. They simply aren't THE main character that has Ordis as their Cephalon.

Thats precisely what he was saying. Yes, there are more Tenno than just you out there, but as far as the Story is concerned, you are The Tenno, the only one to do all these things, and Ordis is unique to you alone. Hell, as far as the Lore is concerned, you might even be the only Tenno in the Origin system to have his own Orbiter, while other Tenno operatives have to be ferried around on smuggler ships affiliated with the Syndicates.

.....then how would you explain making a party and see the party member's ships park in front of us?

Warframe uses the same logic Final Fantasy XIV does. There's many Adventurers, some with the same strength we do and even have the Echo, but WE specifically are "The" Warrior of Light.
