Division 18

[komet]

Alright, this is going to be another huge post. In order to save space, I am going to snip the quotes I use.

On the intel thing ... Freelancer isn't really friendly to covert ops as soon as you get tagged your alligiance is broadcast from miles away. The only effective way I can think of doing it would be being friendly to Nommies so they didn't shoot you, but not friendly enough to get IFF'd, along with a Nommie ID...

This is exactly what I was thinking! For example:

Here's a rough draft of command structure, naming convention, and loadout stuffs:

Command echelon-Nomad possessed humans - Gives orders to the lower echelons and deals with the political side of things along with communicating with other Nomad groups.

- Leader(Without cover): Delta-18.Name, LSF tag, Nomad/Nomad Guard ID, maybe some Nomad weapons or equipment included (not fully Nomad loadout), ships can include Liberty ship line.
- Leader(Undercover): Name, LSF tag and LSF Guard ID, no Nomad weapons, Liberty ship line.

Mid echelon:- Nomad possessed humans - Posses as lawful agents of the Liberty government who pass down orders to the Lower echelon and make sure no word about the Division's true agenda get out. They will also make sure that the Division's agenda is carried out as planned.

- Agents: Delta-18.Name, LSF tag, LSF/LSF Guard ID, some kind of combination of Nomad weapons and equipment with Liberty lawful weapons, Liberty ship line.

Lower echelon: - Consists of full Nomads (Assassins) and Nomad possessed humans (Assassins or Enforcers) - This echelon operates under complete secrecy, maintain allegiance to factions least expected of working with Division 18. This echelon is in charge of carrying out both the Higher and Middle echelons' dirty work.

- Assassins: Name, Nomad/LSF tag (depending on whether it's a full Nomad or a possessed human) Nomad/Nomad Guard ID/, Full on Nomad weapons and equipment, or Nomad weapons combined with human equipment, Nomad Assassin and Liberty ship line
- Enforcers: Name["Possessed faction name] etc.

The Wild (Player faction) has several subgroups. 1 of those is Das Wilde ... Another is the Kusari Wild, ... There are other subgroups, but I will not divulge them for now.

One of the subgroups is Division 18. It is under the control of the Wild Player Faction (who use the Wild ID for all their non-covert ships) and there it will remain. Like "independent" Wilde, We deny everything.

I don't understand how the Wild (whom, according to the Lore, are Rheinland only) are controlling a Nomad affiliated group in Liberty. Well, I could see how that is working out in the grand scheme of things, but this means the Lore is either incorrect or needs to be updated.

If the Lore does need to be changed to say this, than it should be done. I really would like the idea of creating a quasi-Nomad faction in Liberty and I know it's possible if it is just given a chance.

Anywho, if it is the Wild who control Division 18, then so be it. It would just be nice if it was posted somewhere that this is the case...

Division 18 is not a Wilde subgroup. It's public propperty of the Nomad community. Currently, we have more Keepers in D18 than we have Wilde doing... Anything but Wilde.

An actual ingame way of making this works exists, in my eyes, only in one way. The way how Ench/Bligther proposed it to me quite some time ago. Basicly, she had the idea ... you'd reach a high rank in the LN and you could chose. Do you want to go the D18-LN route? or the LN-LN route? Both would have their own advantages and disatvantages. ...t D18 would invole in 'behind the scene' workings. Though, IRP, D18 members wouldn't even know their leaders are Nomads. That's how Division 18 goes. Secret, hiding, behind scenes, confusing...

There is a lore for it, it's called 'The Nomad Lore'. Creating a faction with Division.18 Tags screaming they're D18 ect ect would, quite franlky, rape that lore.

So, does Division 18 already exist as a player faction? Or is this just theory/ideas? I like Ench/Bligther's idea but I have never heard of it before this point. Once again, it would be nice if people posted these things somewhere, but as it is, there appears to be a misscomuncation going on between the Wilde and the Keepers leaders.

Anywho, I'm going to start adding my ideas to the OP just to show another angle on the faction.

Meh.
