Update of faction information

[macky]

Update 3

THE SONS OF PLUNDER:

The SoP is a small break-away faction of the Liberty Rogues. Seen more as a thugs than as a group of organized criminals in Liberty, they have been the laughing stock of most syndicates.

The Sons of Plunder started with three Liberty Rogue pirates. Good friends all of them, they wanted to make a name for themselves. They broke off from the main body of the Liberty Rogues and hid in the Pennsylvania System. They amassed together their credits and stocked up on Liberty Rogue vessels, weaponry and supplies. They favored using hit and and fade tactics on unsuspecting miners in the system, taking credits before the other pirates even got a chance to spot them on their scanners.

They staged most of their operations from Bethlehem station, keeping it secret from even the Zoners that ran the place. As the Sons of Plunder grew, so did their disregard for other criminal organizations in Liberty. This angered the unlawful population. Various bounties were placed on their heads, this made life very difficult for the SoP.

That didn't stop them. The Sons of Plunder still managed to grow and expand their operations to pirating and smuggling. Since most of the SoP pirates were adept at hiding and blending in with their surroundings, they managed to run the slave/cardamine route in Liberty with ease, thus establishing strong alliances with the Outcasts in Omicron Alpha.

They claimed the Pennsylvania system as their own. This angered the Liberty Rogues and small skirmishes between the two factions broke out. This led to rogue killing rogue and almost led to all out war.

Being better organized and better equipped, the Liberty Rogues were able to locate the Sons of Plunder's headquarters in Bethlehem Station. They were unable to launch a strike on the station since it was Zoner territory, so they opted to blockade the sector.

The SoP had no choice but to negotiate terms with their Mother Faction. After many days of tedius negotiations, the Rogues lifted the blockade and life in Pennsylvania returned to as it was.

Today the Sons of Plunder and the Liberty Rogues work together in Liberty. They have a new goal, to be a respected criminal organization, not only to their peers but to all of Sirius.

Hmmmm..... A couple corrections are in order but all in all I think you did a wonderful job. I am going to vote for moving this to a more official section, and I will ask my fellow Triumvirate members to vote as well. We will convene.

[macky]

Hey guys,

This is currently still in progress. We just wanted to give you a sneak peek at the changes that the Sons of Plunder is making to it's structure:

As for updates here are a few:

*** ZONES OF INFLUENCE ***

Primary ZOI
Pennsylvania

Secondary ZOI
Conorado
California
Galileo
Cassini
Hudson
Cortez
Alberta
Humboldt
Texas
New York

*** DIPLOMACY ***

ALLIES :
Liberty Rogues
Outcasts
Molly's
Junkers

After sharing ideas with Bulldog, we believe that the General ZOI of the SoP should now encompass Liberty since we are allied with the Liberty Rogues. However, the primary ZOI ofthe Sons of Plunder will still be Pennsylvania since most of our forces are stationed there.

Allies have also been updated to include the Liberty Rogues.

This next update is for the Shadow Mining Corporation or SMC which is the legit/ credit laundering business/Mining front for the SoP. More information on this topic soon.

Mining Wing: (Shadow Corporation)
Affiliation: Freelancer
ID: Freelancer ID
Alignment: neutral
Naming System: SMC|Name
Home System: Cassini
HQ: Barrier Gate Station:

Finally, for ranking:

Zoe Joaquin, Captain of the [SoP]Blind.Eye is now The Taskmaster of the Pirating and Smuggling wings. She has been authorized to conduct SoP affairs on behalf of Wulfe O'Donnel.


We would like to thank Frost and Bulldog for helping as out with the new structure and allowing us to lift some material from the Liberty Rogues description.

Any feedback is welcome. Thank you.

[Wolpert]

This involves some of the items to be discussed tonight by the Triumvirate, so it may need to be revised. We are also voting on whether or not to make this official, and that looks promising.

[Wolpert]

You did a very good job on this, and I'm stickying it here in the Regulations board. We're gonna be going over it and doing some minor edits, but overall great work

[macky]

Updated the following:

• ZOI has been updated to encompass the Liberty Rogues' general area.Allies have been updated to include the Liberty Rogues.
  
  
• Roster and Ranks have been updated to reflect rank changes and new members.
  
  
• SMC has been updated to use DSE ID and IFF as authorized by Wulfe O'Donnel.
  
  
• SMC is now a lawful corporation under the Sons of Plunder.
  
  
• Updated Available Transports and Ships for use of the Shadow Mining Corporation. Usable ships are civilian and those that can be purchased within Liberty space.
  
  

Please feel free to share your ideas with us.

Thanks,

Macky

Got this suggestion from irate pirate in the usa discovery forums:


Re: Sons of Plunder Revised edition

It would make more sense for your miners to use the Independent Miner ID. DSE would never work with the Rogues, not even under the table. The Rogues have a DSE base under siege in Cassini so I doubt that any affiliation between the two would ever happen.


Do any of you think that IMG would indeed be a better mining guild to join because of the mentioned conflicts with the rogues?

[wulfe]

the Shadow mining company is not technically under SoP. it is a separate faction operating under the DSE ID. They are not affiliated towards us at all. only as players do you take orders from the Triumvirate. You just use it as a money-making character.

[macky]

My opinion that the SMC should be under SoP jurisdiction. Why, because:

1. they will be providing money, directly to the underwood.

2. the SOP will provide them will all the equipment and initial funding that they will need, as well as protection if needed.

3. the Taskmaster for the mining wing should and always be directly an SOP member. The mining wing is directly under Second Triumvacy Adam.

4) The legit mining wing allows us to know about lawfuls' plans they act as our eyes and ears outside the systems that we are in.

5) us working in conjunction with a lawful faction will allow us to do what the unlawfuls cannot, and that is have other larger lawful companies in the sop's pocket.

This is just my opinion though. It might be better to listen to what Coryn has to say as he is taskmaster of this wing.

Know that I will abide with what the triumvacy will agree upon.

[wulfe]

yes, this makes sense, but what i mean is that no one will know that they are. to everyone but us it is separate. that way we get the maximun bonuses for drops. yes, they still fall under our jurisdiction, but no one knows about it but us.

[Wolpert]

Its such a good secret that we didn't even know about it xD

[wulfe]

pretty much...
