History
A highly organized criminal group that follows traditions of Corsican mafia of Earth, the Union Corse is known for strict secrecy among its members, and access to nearly limitless resources, including support of high-ranked government officials. The group was formed circa 100-110 AGS on Planet New Paris, and has since expanded into all the populated planets of Gallia, becoming the oldest of the currently operating large organized criminal groups.
From about 350 AGS, the Unione Corse operate in space as well as planetside. The Corse are mostly interested in black market trade and rarely rely on brute force. Still, their pilots are among the most skilled in the Gallic space, and in those cases when they do engage civilian transports in order to borrow the valuables they are carrying, corporate escorts rarely stand a chance against Corse raiders.
The Corse don't put much trust in other pirate groups and deal with them only out of necessity, in many cases acting as bounty hunters and taking out the most dangerous pirates at request of their government protectors or corporate sponsors. The Maquis are possibly the only Gallic group whom Corse respect to some extent, either for their connections with the Council, or for avoiding the spheres of illegal activity that Corse are trying to control themselves.
Corse do not have dedicated headquarters, and their leaders mostly stay planetside. Of all Corse bases, Gleize Depot is considered to be the primary one, but there is no specific ranking to confirm its status.
