Defectors

[M.E. Charm]

Hey, I hope it's not taboo to revive a 2-day old thread, I am interested in this topic.

I would like to play a Rheinland military captain, whose trial for being needlessly cruel to both pirates and civilians had been put on low priority as the need for a defensive force increases. Obviously he has been given the warning that there won't be a second chance, and is looked down on by colleagues (his existence is a touchy and shameful topic at best).
Now I would just like to play in the Rheinland Militairy faction for a long time, until his sadistic tendencies get the better of him again and he comes in conflict with the RM. At that point I'd like to continue as a turncoat mercenary, still in the same ship, complete with 100+ crew whose undying loyalty to their captain is unmatched.

I would like to take my time with this and built up a strong convinceable character before doing anything radical.. But after such effort, I don't want to be sanctioned for flying a Rheinland ship.

Thoughts?
