Stellar Corps/ Wings of Erie Faction Proposal

[cal823]

Faction Description:
Stellar Corps Enterprises is a company that was founded by an enterprising IMG Captain by the same of Slias. The original aim of the company was to investigate the potential of mining and research operations outside of the usual IMG area of operations. Slias decided to only select a small number of IMG pilots, and set up a mobile base by modifying an Atlas Class Transport, which he named "StarReach". He then set off in a survey ship, to investigate potential places to set up a new mining operation.
After travelling far, and searching many neutral systems, he had a chance meeting with a Zoner in the Bering System. This Zoner's name was Leiaziar Sanai. Leiaziar was a native of Planet Erie, in the Pensylvania system, and when Slias told Leiaziar what he was looking for, Leiaziar's thoughts immediatly jumped to one possibility: The abundant supplies of Silver, Helium, Neon and other resources of his home system. Slias immediatly flew his survey ship to the system, and began recruiting miners to test out the viability of a mining operation in Pensylvania. After a few weeks, Slias decided this would be the place.
Meanwhile, Leiaziar had been hired by Slias as security, to protect his mining operations from pirates.
However, he soon discovered that Leiaziar had been misapropiating Stellar Corps funds to heavily outfit a Roc Bomber. He immediatly set of to Bethlehem station, to confront Leiaziar. When he walked into a small hangar on the station, he was shocked to see another of his employees, and several other locals there, along with several Eagles. He then looked over to the Roc, and saw Leiaziar taking a chained Xenos out of the cargo hold. He then questioned Leiaziar, and found that he had been using his position as a security worker and Stellar Corps resources to fund a small squadron with the aim of protecting not only the mining operation, but the entire Pensylvania system. Now, instead of immediatly firing them for misapropiation of resources (some would call it down right theft and abuse of power, not to mention their questionable treatment of captured criminals) he realised how effective such a group would be at defending his interests, and allowed the squadron to continue.

Any thoughts? Suggestions? We already have several interested players, some of them of a high rank.
My character is Leiaziar, and I have already been doing the vigilante thing in Penny, having so far encountered Lane Hacker, Outcast and Nomad players.
