I see this as the 2nd religious-sounding faction appear in a week! Jihad!

or not...

From dictionary.com Anarchism: The theory or doctrine that all forms of government are oppressive and undesirable and should be abolished.

Reading this, I don't think you should use Rheinland ships, they are a very strict government and if you take their ships and speak out against them you'll end up fighting what may the the most powerful house in Sirius.

So I would say stay with Zoner and Civilian ships. Maybe some pirate ones, but no house ones as they are the governments you are trying to "undermine"

Did I even get the definition right or am I just speaking jibberish?

the definition accepted by most anarchists (and note that dictionaries are mostly not written by anarchists), is that anarchy is the absence of hierarchy. which is simple, yet leads to many things. part of that is that governments are inherently oppressive, because they are rooted in the monopoly on use of force and social hierarchies. but there's more to it than that.

as for using Rheinland ships, our intention here is to subvert the most powerful hierarchical society in Sirius' research and use it against such entities. as for speaking out against them, we aren't actively doing that. well, Mikuru wants to kill anything that so much as says something mildly offensive to us and rants about things sometimes (that is the character, very trigger-happy and hotheaded). but in general, we aren't. for the most part the plan is gradual change, which most likely would not provoke most factions to war.

also, when you say we shouldn't use house ships precisely because we're trying to undermine them, that makes no sense to me. how better to undermine than to use their own tools against them? .. of course, we are not attacking Rheinland. if they decide to declare war on us that will be another matter.
