CS

[Ironwatsas]

The Consortium (\CS\) are Basically a Military-Styled insurgency. Think a Kusari equivalent to the Hellfire Legion or Lane Hackers.

Essentially, we're allied to other Kusari Unlawfuls, and are attempting to secure Kusari through covert undermining of the government, interdiction and destruction of commerce, assisting other factions like the GC and Blood Dragons. We use the Outcast ID for several reasons, mainly because of our diplomacy, ZoI, used ships, etc.

As for using Prison Liners... part of our RP is our cannibalization of enemy ships and crews for our own use, and ships like Liners or Slave ships are high on our list due to crew and mineral content. An intact Prison Liner is quickly going to be pressed into service as an Auxiliary Warship, and probably used for Cargo Interception.

We're not 'the police' by any real sense, but we're trying to collapse the government and install a client state, so take a sort of Authoritarian approach when dealing with Civilians, and putting territories under 'Sovereignty Waivers' as we operate, as we have no concern for the standing government outside of it's resistance.

They 'claim to be police' the same way they 'claim to own Kusari'

its not true. They -believe- it, but its not true.

To that end, we usually don't sugar-coat the fact that we're out to replace the Kusari government (Atleast when we're conducting tactical operations). Though, we're often vague as to why, or go by the cover story of us trying to 'End Kusari's corruption and Xenophobic Conflict' or otherwise use the Tau conflict as a Cassus Belli for our operation.

The reality is, that's just a fabrication. But I'll leave the rest of the population to draw their conclusions of find out through Interaction as the Faction Storyline develops.
