Background:
The FMG started out as a bunch of disgruntled independent IMG miners who were based out of Freidstadt in Omega 7, but can trace their roots back to Bretonia. They specialized in non-ferrous ore extraction most profitable being Silver.
After a while the miners of the FMG found that working in the Omega 7 came with its drawbacks being a system carved in three by DHC, Kruger and IMG. The place is more of a deathtrap than somewhere you can make your fortune! The threat of piracy behind every rock and at every tradelane was relentless. As a result the FMG soon pulled out of Omegas to seek fortune elsewhere.
Back in Bretonia and currently basing out of Cardiff Mining Facility in Cambridge, operations have expanded to include mining Berrylium and Gold Ore as these are the most profitable and mining in Bretonia is considered much safer compared to Omega 7, by far.
Staking a claim in Bretonia is going to be hard to do given the relative youth of the guild compared to other mining factions and thus competition is fierce namely IMG| and BMM.
FMG had considered on several on occasions to try merge their miners with IMG| who are the foremost authority for the Independent Miners of Sirius but the IMG| itself was felt to be coperate based in the way it was run and such values are not compatible with ideals of the FMG.
FMG Core Values: include a feeling of brotherhood amongst miners, FMG is almost like a union aswell as being a miners guild we look out for our own and are not afraid to speak our minds. In the FMG there are no ranks like recruit, or Guildmaster etcetc. All are equal amongst the FMG with core decisions being taken after discussion and majority agreement amongst a council of senior miners of the FMG is made.
FMG resent some the IMG| alliances namely with some pirate groups like the Hessians, as the FMG tries to be as neutral as possible to all entities preferring never to favour any side.
FMG are also a solemn group only looking out for their own ensuring never to pick fights unless they themselves are personally in danger.
Primary Goals:
To mine plain and simple and make as much money as possible doing it, being a more union 'brotherhood' based guild than a corporate one means higher profit for each member but it also means that membership is restricted heavily.
To maintain as neutral relationships with all factions and not to retaliate offensively, hostile actions by the FMG are self-defense based only.

You are trying to separate your roleplay from the one that IMG| is conducting and in order to achieve it you are stating some serious inaccuracies.
- "We are all equal while IMG| has ranks" -That is not true, the recruit is a temporary level for people who complete a few assignments, pass a test and become regular Guild members. ALL the IMG| members are "Guild members" and the Guild Masters are simply the supervising figures voted by the Guild Members. Officially there is only one rank, the other two are titles for their special role/assignments that they have.
- "IMG| is a corporation based on the way it is run" -You provide no explanation for such statement.
- "IMG| is allied with the Hessians and other unlawfuls" -That is also untrue, in fact we're closer to the description you provided for the FMG.

I feel that the IMG| is a Corporation based on purely on its size, IMG| are massive and as such a group like that must have some hierarchical structure, we dont want to be a big group just a small group of free-spirited miners.
Well ok then the IMG and Hessians may not be allies but instead more of a non-aggression pact since in Rhineland at least, both groups have the same enemies. FMG is uneasy with that since they dont want to be seen on any side of the argument just neutral is where we wanna be.

Just detail, but technically there are free mining fields in Omega-7. By Rheinland laws, some fields are property of DHC, others belong to Kruger and rest are those which IMG use. But they doesn´t have any owning right about them, anybody can mine there (in fact even Kruger and Daumann). I doubt IMG would try to pinch anybody off, and if they would, it would be punishable by Rheinland authorities (depending on what method would they use).
Also question - why did you choose Australia as background logo? Is there any meaning in it?
First of all, IMG is a guild, meaning that it is a union of indipendent miners. While you can work in the guild, you can also have your own ships and only use the guild as a flag, proof of quality, use it for secure transportation in convoys and so on, therefore there is no real hierarchy that is used. There are only some that deal with stuff that needs to be dealt with.
Secondly, the Hessians. Is that open knowledge to Sirius now? I know it is written in the ID, but those are sort of ooRP instructions about what you can and cannot do. We are quite secretive about our agreements with unlawfulls, since they are still unlawfulls.
And lastly, change the logo ffs. Or have none for the time being and make one.Like... really... stealing a logo of a real company?
Yeah you definitely need to change the logo. We did the same thing (small oversight let's not go into that) and got shut down for it until we changed it.
Why are you using IMG ID ?Not just for good drop rates I hope.Civilian Miner ID will suit you guys best.Since you want have neutral relations with many factions you can achieve it by civilian miner id.IMG id will restrict your relations with some factions.First Civilian miner ID'd faction would be great.
