This has been updated.

-Sigma-59 now has a full entry in the current operations section as it is now where helium-3 is mined.
-Guild directives have been updated to reflect the situations in Sigma-17 and the now Restored Empire of Kusari.
-Sigma-17 has been moved from secondary to primary zone of influence. Frankfurt and Munich have been added to secondary zone of influence.

Sigma-17 Entry

Sigma-17's rare trinary star system

Sigma-17 is the home of Planet Kurile, recently confiscated from the blight of Samura Heavy Industries. The planet's native alien organisms are highly valuable to the planet terraforming process and are expected to accelerate the Planet Miura terraforming process and enhance GMG's position in the alien organism market. The seizure of the planet also has the knock on effect of greatly hindering Samura's operation on Planet Junyo in the Shikoku system which depend on supplies from Kurile.

Samura is evidently enraged by this development as the Farmers Alliance's presence in the system has exploded. Its proximity to Omicron Theta and Omicron Gamma in addition to this makes the system a testing security challenge for The Guild.

Sigma-59 Entry

Sigma-59

Niigata Star City's resident system Sigma-59 is possibly the most secure under GMG's control. Niigata itself is heavily armed and surrounded by weapons platforms and the Battleship Daishouri is a short jump away. Iejima Station, another highly valuable installation, supports a gas mining operation in the Okha Nebula.

The local space is safeguarded by a potent combination of The Guild's own paramilitary and a notable Bounty Hunters Guild presence. Nobeoka Platform, a Hunter station in orbit of the gas giant Nagaoka, enhances the security of the system and is testimony to the cordial relations between the two guilds.

Old Guild Directives

Guild Directives

1. A monopoly on the fuel market must be maintained. Claimed GMG fields must be protected from those who would steal its property, namely Samura and Kruger. It is vital that Samura operations in the Hokkaido system are disrupted as much as possible, which is to be achieved through a covert partnership with the Dragons and GC.

2. Expansion into the alien organism market will be exercised. Being a world away from the treacherous Omicron Beta Edge Nebula marks Planet Kurile as a primary target.

3. The Kishiro-backed Republic of Kusari is much more receptive to The Guild than the previous Imperial administration. Influence within the Kusari government should be increased at all opportunities to ensure it cannot be swayed in the opposite direction. Cordial relationships should be established with individuals where available and close attention must be paid to the house's political processes.

4. It is essential that Cardamine smuggling operations in The Guild's primary zone of influence are disturbed, in order to cut down the economy of the hostile Outcasts. GC dependence on the drug should be quietly explored in a highly clandestine effort to subvert their addiction and subsequently their ties to the Maltese.

5. The alien artifact trade must also be targeted to do harm to the Corsairs and reduce Hogosha income.
