Diplomacy and Relations

---

Our approach with other groups is mostly pragmatic, as our cause demands a lot of energy and willpower regularly. We have no time for unnecessary struggles and prefer an unstable peace over outright war. The Bundschuh must understand that its power comes from its principles and its convictions and that our movement is at its strongest, when the people are on our side.

The Order - The Order stands as our nearest ally, providing the essential technology and intelligence needed to counter the Nomad menace, particularly prevalent in Rheinland. Following the Nomad conflict, it was largely the Order's efforts that revived our movement. Presently, we are engaged in a collaborative operation in Tennstedt within the Thuringia system. Nonetheless, we recognize that the Order's assistance is conditional, hinging on their objective to eliminate the Nomads. We do not anticipate their backing in our aim to free the people of Rheinland.

ALG Waste Disposal - ALG chose to resist rather than blindly obey a reactionary revolution during the civil war, standing in the face of annihilation. Even in the years before, ALG proved to be a covert supporter of the Bundschuh. This risky service will not be forgotten soon. It is crucial to maintain a productive and pragmatic contact with ALG to overthrow the corrupt regime.

Red Hessians - The Red Hessians have abandoned their struggle for the working class in favor of piracy and terrorism. The handful of those still fighting for the common citizen are eclipsed by numerous bandits and privateers. Despite this, we aim to adopt a pragmatic approach with the Hessians and collaborate for the common good, but we will not participate in the senseless slaughter of workers.

Technocracy of Auxo - We have an understanding with the Technocracy and share a mutual interest in the spatial anomalies within Rheinland. We agreed to simple trade deals and are not engaged in any conflict, whether as allies, nor as foes.

Landwirtrechtbewegung; Mollys; Gaians - We express solidarity with these groups in many respects and view their causes as fundamentally just. Although we may not concur with the tactics used, these groups are comprised of individuals who advocate for themselves or others against oppression and exploitation. Recognizing that it is not our place to dictate their tactics, we concentrate on the elements that anchor our movement in combating a larger injustice.

Gas Miners Guild - The feud between the GMG and Rheinland is long-standing. Although the GMG offers financial backing to the Bundschuh, it is understood that this support is not an endorsement of our revolutionary ideals but rather a strategy to undermine Rheinland as a challenge to the GMG's monopoly. This monopoly, like the Rheinland oligarchy, must be dismantled, but only once our objectives have been met.

Sirius Coalition - Some argue that the Coalition shares many ideological similarities. We contest this view. While the Coalition might not be an adversary of the revolution, caution is warranted given their intense and unyielding, perhaps even overly ambitious, conflict with the colonies. We collaborate on the most basic issues when needed, yet choose to keep our distance until significant reforms are made to their political structures and military strategies.

Rheinland Corporations - Corporate capital and the resulting power for its owners is the core driver of the oppressive system that has kept humanity in bondage for centuries. However, it is not those who, for lack of alternatives, are forced to become part of the exploitative machinery that we are fighting against, but the puppeteers in the background. Murdering the workers of the big corporations would only give our enemies pretexts for media agitation against us. We want to convince the workers of our cause when the opportunity arises and are inclined to spare them rather than hurt them. In individual cases, we will decide whether to claim a share of the profits for our cause.

Rheinland Military and Police - The military and the police are the protective powers of the capital and do not serve the people, but rather its owners. However, most of these servants are not aware of this, which is why we refrain from confronting them with brute force. So far, many violent encounters have been prevented with our approach. In cases where an enemy of our factions is common, we prefer to fight alongside our ill-lead brothers and sisters in the face of danger that supersedes our conflict, such as the Corsairs.

Nevertheless, it is inevitable that we fight each other at times, and a staunch defender of the oppression machine must also be fought by us.

Marinenachrichtendienst / Büro des Marinenachrichtendienstes - Historically, the spooks of the BDM and its subdivision were notorious for hunting Bundschuh members. Next to multiple assassinations and cyber-attacks, the MND has, to our surprise, stood on the Federal side of the civil war. Ever since, some of their agents have shown to be neutral towards us and a great deal of the previous violence has ceased. We are very careful with our approach towards the MND and will determine whether it is worth trusting them even a slight bit or not.

Unioners - Ever since the Unioners decided to be a pawn of the Corsairs, as well as commit an unprecedented gas attack on Alster, the relations between our groups have been hostile. While we do believe the workers of Alster Shipyard are as deserving of freedom and equality as every other worker, we can not cooperate, considering the Unioners' current state of affairs. We are ready, however, to return to a more mutually beneficial relationship should the Unioners ever decide to pay reparations for their terror attack and distance themselves from the Corsairs.

Corsairs - The Corsairs are a bloodthirsty bandit kingdom ruled by barbarians who have taken countless lives across the colonies and amassed an army of violent pillagers who care for nothing but profit at the cost of others. No amount of material analysis will cause a dent in this empire's thick and blood-soiled hull. We must fight the Corsairs at any cost and prevent them from taking any more lives whenever we can.

The Wild, Nomads - Both the Nomads and their infected pawns pose the greatest threat for humanity. No struggle for freedom will be worth anything if these hostile aliens are allowed to gain traction once more. It is of utmost importance to safeguard the people from their influence and violent killing sprees. There can be no middleground.
