The Joker

[The Joker]

[size=small]Description

The Ministry of Ban™ is a ever growing group of murdering, deranged politicians who never run for any elections. Although it has its roots in the previous Joker's (dis)organization made entirely out of his ruthless Thugs, this newly formed Government of Chaos™ is made out of both ex-thugs and a lot of new recruits. The Ministry bans all sorts of things; they ban holes, gates, bases, they also ban people, both temporarily and permanently. Their main goal is to disrupt the house economies in general by often banning certain routes crucial for the inflow of credits.

Means of financing these politicians remains somewhat a mystery. In the past, old (dis)organization had some dealing with Mollies and Outcasts but rumors circulate that the huge portion of funds and technology nowadays is mainly donated under the table by Red Hessian Army themselves. Direct ties were never confirmed but the very fact that The Ministry has in their possessions Hessian technology, and the fact that they often operate in Rheinland space, could suggest that these rumors are not far from the truth.

The Ministry mostly bans transports/freighters as far as economy is concerned. Eyewitnesses report that potential Banees are often given a choice; to get temporarily banned and to go back where they came from by taking the longer, time wasting route. Other choice is to refuse to comply. In those cases, Ministry's victims simply get permanently banned. But similar choices are seldom given to those groups and individuals who dare to oppose Ministry's Force of Ban. They are treated with the utmost cruelty.

As opposite to their twisted (dis)organization, The Ministry of Ban™ despises any concept of order and organization, often preaching to their prays of how futile and pointless is to spend life-long existence to achieve a material goods or to fight for some "noble" cause. One could say that some form of distorted illumination is what some Ministers are personally after, perhaps seeking their essence of existence in The Notion of Ban™.

As far as commanding structure is concerned, there is barely any present. The Ministry is made out of Ministers and its Chief Minister who is often also referred to as The Boss. But that does not mean that other Ministers are not equally important. Although they do not make any important decisions all by themselves, they often do participate in a form of voting when the next Ministry's actions are concerned. However, they are above everyone, even The Chief Minister himself, when it comes to the questions concerned of their own departments. Some of the known minister's positions are: The Minister of Mafficism™, The Minister of Thorism & Beer™, The Minister of The Church of The Followers of Ban™, The Minister of Ban-anas™ etc.


The Notion of Ban

The Force of Ban™ is the only thing that The Ministers truly believe in. Although temple of The Church of The Followers of Ban™ exists in its unique form on Barrier Gate Station, they deem that this notion that they believe in, is not in fact a religion. It is the way the whole Sirius should exists -- In chaos which entangles the very pillars of Ban.

But what is The Force of Ban™? This force exists only in negatively aligned humans and only those who are truly aware of their alignment. Those humans who are irreversibly evil can understand how it is to get banned beyond any hope. Understanding of this force cannot be achieved over night. Many Ministers believe that only through years of practice and spreading evil all around, one can only begin to grasp the very concept of Ban.

The Notion of Ban™ is above everyone and everything. It cannot be stopped. It cannot be bargained with or reasoned with.

Everyone gets banned sometimes.
