More Terrorism...

[Quigs]

And don't ask me how many times I've had to explain why [CR]/=BSG= talk about cutting drugs off from the Gaians-people don't seem to understand this. Gaians are a terrorist organisation and frankly tree hugging doesn't pay the bills. So I invented the idea of Gaians being smugglers/dealers in addition to militant environmentalists so that they fit the terrorist bill better.

The news on the (only?) Gaian base suggests to me that they're joined at the hip to that Green Front political party. If they have enough popular support to get their people elected into parliament they have enough popular support to do some "legitimate" fundraising. But yeah, making them smugglers in Discovery certainly would give people who want to _be_ them more options too.

Even the Xenos aren't immune to smuggling in the original game. They're opposed to foreign manufactured goods coming into Liberty, but there's lots of news talking about them fighting the Junkers and pirates in an attempt to take over black market trade of commodities not produced domestically (cardamine and diamonds).
