First, see the idea behind this Roleplay--http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23449
This is the basic idea... A group involving religious following of the Chancellor of Rheinland. This is not a backstory, but an idea to be commented on and improved upon. Actual backstory will follow after comment, as a new idea such as this (religious RP in Freelancer), I truly believe it needs to be commented on before any attempts are made to actually write it up and make it real.
The Children of the Chancellor are a group believing the Chancellor to be God and his words divine law. Protecting the Chancellor and his interests, they also seek to carry out his word. Therefore they would:
--Protect interests in Rheinland, traders and such. Engaging (typically) enemies such as the Bundschuh and Hessians, but especially the Wilde. Because of jurisdiction the Rheinland Military cannot offer protection at the Sigma 13 jumphole, but the CotC can and will, as traders supporting the Chancellor should be aided wherever possible
--Convert!!! Of course, speaking to and convincing others to follow the Chancellor in whatever way possible. Whether it be through the CotC or independently, or simply convincing a trader to bring us some goods, the CotC would strive to convert others into supporters of the great Chancellor.
--Engage in activity that forwards the Chancellor's word and goals, though may be not accomplishable by his great military. Such as possibly hit and run tactics upon Liberty traders or such, as the Chancellor's word defines them as enemies of our great God. (that is simply an example, not saying we would be a Liberty terrorist group)
Some basic ground rules:
--Rheinland ships would be used, Light Fighters through bombers, and (limited) Gunboats. Being a faction focusing on conversion first, and hit&run second, there is little need for large ships or fleets. Especially at the beginning when the faction is small.
--There would be no taxing and such of traders, however smugglers would be apprehended.
--Liberty ID'ed ships would be at least likely harassed for their "heretic ways"
--We would act in unison with the Rheinland military, act to aid them, however it is unlikely we would "take orders" from them, unless they being from a very senior source. Any extravagant requests from the RM would be taken into consideration by leaders.
--Affiliation: Likely the most fitting would be "Military, or Rheinland Military" however this would lead to confusion as far as the situation with Liberty. Advice or opinions, or possibly a special request or such is needed. Thusly why I post this here and leave it open for comments and improvements.
