History

---

In late 820 increasingly many inhabitants of Planet Nuremberg wished to leave the planet in the wake of the Munich Disaster. In several cities groups were formed to arrange flights of the surface with some civilians offering their vehicles for this purpose. Nuremberg is generally rather poor and most of those few that were wealthy left at the first sign of trouble. The groups relied on middle-class citizens who would use their spaceships and who would initially follow all the normal legal procedures for emigration from a planet.

Over the years, the situation worsened as the horrifying health effects of the Munich Disaster became evident. Unrest and lawlessness became increasingly the norm, while a government response remained completely inadequate and no full-scale evacuation was initiated. Some of the local groups banded together and formed the Nuremberg Citizens Committee for Planetary Evacuation as a coordinating organ. As more and more people wanted to get off the dying planet and unable to work efficiently the legal way, the NCCPE contacted the Bundschuh. Rumours had spread all across the planet that the Bundschuh were extracting refugees by avoiding the docking rings and in desperation the Committee saw no other choice. Most of the members of the Committee had been loyal citizens and had no previous sympathy for the Bundschuh, but disillusioned with the lack of government action in response to such a huge catastrophe, the exiled party was their best bet.

At first, the Committee and the Bundschuh simply cooperated, without any further ties being formed. The Committee directed atmospheric vessels to an extraction point from where the Bundschuh would take over and ship the people off planet. Over time however, the cooperation intensified and civilian vessels were put to use at the Bundschuh-side of the operations to quicken the evacuations. Meanwhile, the Committee also communicated with planetside Bundschuh affiliates such as Rote Adler to coordinate their efforts.

Members of the Committee saw the Bundschuh as the only ones trying to help the population and eventually a majority agreed on the Committee joining the Bundschuh movement. The NCCPE publicly still rejects allegations of ties with the Bundschuh and the local volunteer groups that they coordinate are not considered part of the Bundschuh, but due the scale of their network it was a matter of time until it became common knowledge.

Capabilities

---

The Nuremberg Citizens Committee for Planetary Evacuation itself is only a very small group of less than 100 people, however it coordinates the efforts of volunteers all over the planet. Affiliated groups exist in all major cities as well as most mid-sized town. The Committee makes sure that these local groups get refugees to extraction points and from there they take to space with the help of the Bundschuh, as well as any space-worthy freighters that the local groups manage to provide.
Neither the Committee nor the local groups have any fighting capabilities, all its resources are put into the evacuation. Some armed Bundschuh groups provide firepower when necessary, especially Rote Adler, despite initially suspicions due to the ideological distance between the many middle-class citizens in the Committee and the extremists from Nuremberg’s poorest neighbourhoods.

Staging Areas

---

The NCCPE is a coordinating organ and its members can be found anywhere where evacuations take place. Two notable locations of importance are:

• Bundschuh Supplies Warehouse, unknown location on Planet Nuremberg
A seemingly unremarkable warehouse, amidst all the chaos law enforcements have either failed to notice, or perhaps not been able to act against this place. It has become a major hub for the Bundschuh’s refugee transportations.
• Business district, Steinbühl, Planet Nuremberg
Steinbühl is a fairly large city that houses a number of large offices of the industrial companies that operate factories on the planet. Office space is rented in multiple buildings by some local businesses that in reality do not exist and are in fact used for the NCCPE’s activities related to lawyers, administration, finances, logistics and more.
