The Maquis - Fraternité des Maquis

~Fraternité des Maquis~

[color=#FFFFFF]The Maquis...

No form of government is perfect, but if one is better than the other, than it's worth killing and dying for. You have lost everything, thus you have nothing else to lose or fear, take up arms against the Royalists, and show them that not even their homes are safe now...

The Maquis Recruitment Poster quote on planet Quillan

The Maquis, once a part of the Council, became notorious in their ways of fighting the crown. With terrorist acts they sought to undermine the crown, often leaving dead civilians behind. The Council, seeing that this was harming their much needed reputation among the common folk, expelled them from the organization, leaving them to fend for themselves. The Maquis, however did not hate the Council because of this, for they realized that what happened was their own fault.

They continued to work side by side with the Council in their own way while secretly gaining sympathy from the Gallic criminal groups, making them a major contestant in the Gallic black market. The Maquis grew in power, and continued to undermine the crown, by means suited them best.

The Maquis often show no remorse for those supporting the crown, even if they are civilians performing simple tasks for the Royal Navy. They go so far as to destroy hospitals in which Royal Navy soldiers are resting, killing countless civilians in the process. They employ the tactics of complex guerrilla warfare, striking military or corporate convoys, executing the crews, and returning with goods. They also frequently send agents, on royalist stations or planets, to set explosives, deploy bio weapons to eliminate those who they consider a threat.

Due to all this, the Maquis have earned themselves a reputations of murderers and terrorists among the civilians of Gallia, and get little to no sympathy...

~Fraternité des Maquis~

[color=#FFCC99]La Fraternité, or as translated to the official english - The Brotherhood, is a common name for a large number of Maquis living in the Languedoc system, on the Limoux Base. As it's known, the Maquis of Limoux still hold strong ties with the Council, and have demonstrated their ever lasting loyalty by assisting the Council forces in the battle of Languedoc. Due to this, they get frequent support from the Council, in form of supplies and military support.

The Maquis of Limoux view each and other as brothers, brothers in arms, thus forming a brotherhood bound by blood. They all think of themselves as Maquisards, a title that without saying means dedication, bravery and sacrifice. Viewed as maybe the most extreme, by some even the most insane part of the Maquis they show no fear, and always get the job done, no matter the cost.

~Primary Goal~

[color=#FFCC99]Destroy the Royalists by means of terrorism and brutal guerrilla warfare.

~Secondary Goal~

[color=#FFCC99]Remain a larger group in the Gallic underworld, uniting the criminal world to fight against the crown

~Tech Usage~

[color=#FFCC99]Usage of all Maquis and Council technology, plus some previously approved Gallic Brigand/Unione Corse tech.

~Ranking Structure~

Colonel en Chef
-A figurehead, and inspiration to his men, he is the supreme commander of the Maquis forces, the one that commands it's entire, small but potent navy. He may command any ship, that is at the disposal of the Maquis.

Colonel
-The second highest rank in the Maquis chain of command, he is in charge of commanding large forces in the field of battle, and possibly even replacing the Colonel en Chef in his absence.

Capitaine
-Capitaine can command several squadrons of fighters or bombers, standing right below the Colonel, in his authority over the Maquis forces.

Lieutenant
-A lieutenant can command a single squad of fighters or bombers, frequently participating in raids against corporate or military forces.

Maquisard
-Maquisards are skilled terrorists, and saboteurs, those who have lost everything, and thus have nothing to fear. They are those that participate in most of the attacks, terrorist or otherwise. Every member of the Maquis seems to think of himself as a Maquisard, even the Colonel in Chef, for the rank is more of a honorary title than just a rank in the chain of command.

Aspirant
-A rather fresh member of the Maquis, that is still to gain experience in the ways of the Maquis.

Ranah Teh Naast aka Mandalore the Destroyer

"Here's why you can't exterminate us, aruetii. We're not huddled in one place—we span the galaxy. We need no lords or leaders—so you can't destroy our command. We can live without technology—so we can fight with our bare hands. We have no species or bloodline—so we can rebuild our ranks with others who want to join us. We're more than just a people or an army, aruetii. We're a culture. We're an idea. And you can't kill ideas—but we certainly can kill you."

[VoluptaBox]

This looks good. But, I think something similar was tried, Les Francs Tirreurs. You should look them up, they had some interesting ideas. http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?sh...c=88806&hl=

[Chrysalis]

Yes, it does seem interesting. Can't image how I missed that though.

Cool. Can't wait to see you ingame.

I think you should focus mostly on terrorism, like mass killing and bombing, even with civilian casualties.
