Union Corse ID

[qwertypp7]

Makes sense for them to be able to land on lawful bases in my opinion. Not Navy and military bases no but lawful bases yes. The Unione Corse aren't the Brigands or the Marquis. They are much more subtle than that.

The Unione Corse are operating under a thin viel of legality much like the mafia they are based on.
These guys aren't common crooks and pirates. They're organized, well connected criminals. They are even very careful to avoid annoying the GRP and GRN.
They don't just pirate for goods and money or go on raids to grab loot and cause chaos. If they pirate a ship it is for a very definate reason and they are sure to cover it up from the authorities by making it look like a Brigands raid or leaving no survivors.

As Magnus points out, modern law enforcement agencies know who Mafia bosses are but without solid evidence they can't make a move. Those criminals are free to do as they please provided they don't let the authorities get the evidence of it.

A good example would be if the Corse wanted to extort money from the IDF...
They would offer 'protection'. Then say that the IDF doesn't pay up. One of their transports is then pirated by 'Brigands' and the Corse 'save' the transport from its attackers. The transport pilot isn't going to say anything. The Corse will hurt him or his family if he says anything incriminating to the authorities. So he says that the Corse arrived in the nick of time to save him from the Brigands and that he paid them a 500,000 'reward' for their service. The company know full well what happened. Its the Corse putting pressure on them to pay up. Can they prove it though? No.
They still don't pay up? Then the 'Brigands' destroy a transport leaving no survivors and making off with the cargo. The Corse send their condolences that they couldn't be there to save the transport.

Of course that is just a 'hypothetical' example...

Everything illegal the Corse do is concealed in this way.
The lawfuls might know they're scum, but can they do a damn thing about it? No.

If an individual member of the Corse is caught in the act of doing something illegal? Well then they were acting of their own accord. They will have to face the music for their actions (for example being FR5'd to hostile to lawful bases, arrested, destroyed, whatever).

In short, keep that part on the ID the same. It fits perfectly with the Corse's RP and distinguishes them from the Brigands and the Marquis. If an individual Corse is stupid enough to get caught? Well then the Corse still have denyability. He was working for himself. He won't betray them by telling the truth.
