Tag

\CS\ (Not installed yet)

ID/TAG

Golden Chrysanthemum (We are not technically GC, but they are our closest allies and we use their bases regularly. Tag-ID may change when 4.85 is released.)

ZOI

Kusari (Ainu is considered our main base of operations.)
Sigma Border Worlds (To maintain a clamp on Kusari commerce and keep supply lines to the Junkers and Outcasts open)
Outcast Space [Restriction level-3] (We will travel to Omicron Alpha and occasionaly to Eta to purchase Sabres, Falcatas, Weapons, and Cardimine)
Omicron Delta and Kappa [Restriction level-3] (We Will occasionally travel as far as O-Delta and Kappa to purchase supplies from the Zoners, Including the Virage HF, and to monitor activity of the Order, Corsairs, and Slomon K'hara)

Consortium trade ships or those on our payroll are usually operating under other flags and are exempt from the ZoI of Military ships. Military ships may operate outside this ZoI to escort allied traders, make supply runs for goods and equipment not available inside our main AO, and to occasionally conduct planned diplomacy and combat operations.

Current Status

The Consortium is currently in an undercover state. For the mostpart, it is keeping a low profile and disguising it's actions as those of the Dragons, GC, Outcasts, or other 'usual' suspects. (//faction is still in the early setup processes, and is unlikely to 'reveal' itself until after 4.85 comes out, and we can finalise many of our technical details.)

All that begins must end.
