What is the Ultimate Guide to Yakuza? The Ultimate Guide is a thread that encompasses the information of many into one unified post, in an effort to make finding information about the faction easier and more efficient. If you ever have a question or are unsure, check here before PMing anyone. Chances are it will answer your question.

What is Yakuza? According to Wikipedia, Yakuza "are members of traditional organized crime groups in Japan. Today, the yakuza are one of the largest organized crime phenomena in the world."

The Discovery Freelancer faction is very similar to their real life counterparts. Yakuza is something of a 'Kusari mafia', doing business, escort work, assassinations, and the like while waging a war against the (dishonourable) Kusari Navy. Yakuza is allied with the Blood Dragons (therefore requiring the BD ID), and therefore is friendly to BD allies but hostile to all enemies of the BD.

Naturally, Yakuza has very close relations with MiD and one would be foolish to expect Yakuza to turn a blind eye to any hostile to MiD. Yakuza operates on a sense of honour, and will aid all and any allies.
