Group idea- Kusari Seperatists

[Blackstarr]

So i was talking around in the Kusari Unlawful chat, and I came up with this idea. What if there was a small but growing group within the GC/Dragons that no longer wanted to take over Kusari. The whole overthrow the emperor idea just seemed like it would never work to them, so they changed their viewpoint. This group of "separatists" now wants to annex several systems from Kusari Control and create an independent State. This group would be made up of already existing GC/Dragon citizens, and its main goals would be to push this idea into the HC of the GC and Dragons and make it a widespread ideal, then execute those ideals and eventually reach the goal of a separatist state.

Ideas? Opinions? I need them.


Actually, Dab says it better below than I did

I think a lot of people here have been misunderstanding Blackstarr's idea.

First off; This separatist movement in no way means they are defecting from the GC/BD. They are GC/BD pilots that have decided to try to annex certain systems from the Kusari government and create a separate sovereign state. It'd be difficult, but not as difficult as the current plan to eliminate the current government..

Those who say that the GC joining this would lose their connection to Cardi.. Sorry for the bluntness; But what the heck are you thinking?

That because they decide to go from trying to take down the government, to trying to annex several systems from the government, that the GC and OC will cut off their supply? Why would they? This group would still be closely related to the BD/GC, still enemies of everyone the BD/GC are enemies of, and still maintaining relations with the OC for supplies.

The goals are slightly different, but in the grand scheme of things, still the same. Slowly annexing systems from the Kusari government's control is a logical step towards their ultimate goal of replacing that government in full. As such, this group would be doing the BD/GC a favor and helping to further their goals.

This would also mean, that if they are recognized as a separate sovereign state, Kusari can't simply attack them without repercussions by other houses that recognize this group. It'd be seen as a state of war. See Taiwan for an example. Taiwan, by gaining the recognition as a separate state by several key world nations, effectively stopped China's attempts to take them over.

I think any discussion on 'GC/BD/OC will cut them off' should be left to the GC/BD/OC players. This group can do its RP along those lines and conduct diplomacy as they planned, and through that we can decide whether or not such a step is necessary. But people coming in here and saying the 'GC WILL do this.' or the 'BD WILL do that.' is speaking for factions which you are not in control of. What we do is our decision to make.
