Gaians and Corsairs

[Tidomann]

Hogosha - Corsair alliance: The Hogosha are extremely isolationist (like FA, Samura and the Kusari government in general) and want no foreign influence in Kusari, especially unlawfuls because they want to control the entire black market by themselves. They are willing, however, to deal with the Corsairs outside of Kusari on the Hawaii, whereupon they pick up shipments of artifacts bound for other areas. To this end, there is no reason why they would have an alliance with the Edge World gaijin scum, as they certainly do not need an alliance to do business. They therefore will revert to neutral/friendly.

Farmers Alliance - Corsair alliance: For similar reasons as above, the Farmers are extremely nationalistic and isolationist and do not tolerate any foreign attempts to expand into Kusari. They are mainly concentrated on stopping Synth Foods and their own attempts to solve Kusari's food problems. They therefore remain allied with the Hogosha but move to be neutral to the Corsairs.

I think the Hogosha Corsair allaince mainly stems from the fact that most corsairs stay out of Kusari. Outside of the sigmas- where we now WANT the corsairs to be, provoking GMG, we do hold a much needed business. This is the mainstay of the Hogosha's black market. While we don't want them in Kusari, we do deal with them frequently, and an alliance has been created. We rely HEAVILY on the corsairs military support and we have begun dealing with them in person on the borderworlds, as GMG have been making Hawaii a difficult place to get to. With the advent of the Okinawa system, the GMG would rather drop dead before letting Hogosha freely travel to the luxery liner. We are also beginning to roleplay an exchange for the use of one of their gunboats- something the corsairs would not easily do without an understanding alliance. Out of most of the dealings I've had with in Kusari with corsair pirates, they were all to happy to move outside of the main Kusari systems to pirate in order to remain outside the detection of the KNF/KSP. We have a good understanding in our business dealings.. Maybe not so much for an alliance, but for the exchange of a large amount of goods. Not only that, but the corsair conflict with the outcast redirect outcast forces from their business in Kusari instead onto the corsairs.

Although the farmer/corsair alliance isn't as strong, we do get the food to trade from somewhere.. And as people already mentioned.. It's difficult to say Hogosha, without saying farmers :S Although one are samura's hired goons, and the other pretty much have their hand in everyones pie. I'm hoping you are able to decide which is which.


One thing I wondered, was the Blood Dragons alliance with the outcasts.. It seems they merely put up with them because of the GC. I thought they hated the cardimine drug just as much as we do, but out of necessity put up with it in order to maintain their relations with the GC. Other than that, they would just as much enjoy seeing the drug stay OUT of kusari.
