GMG| Feedback

[Blodo]

I love this speculation about whether the GMG or KNF is stronger, when all things considered there won't ever be a confrontation... because the KNF are a security force of a nation who very much enjoys it's position as the sole middleman in the distribution of fuel for the entirety of civilised space while putting exactly or close to nil money into it.

So lets have a view at the other side of the picture: just like the GMG are dependent on Kusari, so does Kusari benefit from the GMG being there and striking contracts with one of the two main Kusari corporations. The GMG itself is wealthy enough to not worry about Samura's usual below-the-belt kicks and jabs, because it doesn't go "OMG U DONT LIKE US, WE PEW YOU", but because of it's influence by proxy (through Kishiro) inside the Kusari government itself, as well as it's own dealings with Kusari's unlawful groups. So GMG is in a way a Kusari organisation.

However, the GMG also governs itself like a small house despite the fact that the majority of it's members live either on Aomori (not Amouri btw:P) or have their homes on Planet Honshu itself, and simply go on to work on the gas miners for months at a time before coming back for shore leave (kind of like how working on modern oil platforms looks like). That is because they have managed to get the Kusari government to recognise their protectorate over Sigma-13 and other systems encompassing the Crow Nebula that are adjacent to Kusari, which is the reason why KNF does not send their patrols into that area and why Samura and Kishiro need to talk to the GMG to handle the gas they mine. This of course benefits Kusari as well, because they don't need to waste pilots on security of areas vital to their economy.

So Sigma-13 is all things considered a GMG protectorate. Yes, the entire system. Proof can be deduced from this news item below:



Note that this is a vanilla rumour, therefore...:P
