The Red Hessians are a loosely grouped organization of Rheinland workers and miners who have fallen on hard times and taken to a life of rebellion and piracy. They constantly struggle to carve out their own realm against the gluttonous Rheinland corporations; As it stands, the current Rheinland government is weak to the point of being under the near-total control of the massive corporations Daumann, Kruger, and Republican Shipping.
While the typical Red Hessian is reviled as a pirate or brigand with nothing but personal gain in mind, the leaders of the Red Hessian Army (RHA) have not lost sight of their goals: resisting the corporate oppression of Daumann and Kruger, implementing their views on society and government, becoming a recognized nation to challenge both the encroaching Corsairs and ever-oppressive Rheinland.
[color=#222222]NPC Faction Alignment
We are, not surprisingly, aligned with the Red Hessian NPC faction. Every character must be Hessian tagged and carry a Red Hessian ID.
[RHA] is our faction symbol. All character names, ship names, or callsigns must follow the pattern of [RHA]xxxx
where "xxxx" is the pilot name, ship name, or call sign.
We are an unlawful faction in conflict with the Rheinland police, Rheinland military, and major Rheinland corporations. We are also in conflict with the Corsairs in the nearby Omega systems.
Our significant allies include the Bundschuh in Frankfurt and the Corsair-hating Outcasts; obviously we’re on the Outcast side of their war. We trade heavily with and play nicely with all Junkers and with the IMG at their nearby Freistadt base in Omega-7.
[color=#222222]Goals and Operations
Engaging our enemies' fighting ships is not a goal unto itself! The Red Hessian Army cannot fuel its ships, feed its soldiers, or aid the impoverished and downtrodden Rheinlander without resources that go beyond kill tallies under cockpits. All RHA personnel are directed to engage the enemy with the following goals in mind. Remember, ships and pilots are no help to our cause if they've become so much Junkers scrap and frozen meat. Make your efforts and sacrifices count!
• Do as much damage as possible to the diamond industry in Dresden and Omega-7. Daumann is weak in Dresden and every opportunity to raid their shipping and destroy their infrastructure should be taken. With enough pressure we can push Daumann out of Dresden entirely.
• Disrupt Repulican Shipping at every opportunity. Trade is the life blood of an empire, let's cut that artery.
• Map the contents of the Omega systems within one or two jumps of Red Hessian bases. Knowing every cloud of gas, chunk of ice, and ribbon of scrap metal around us is paramount to our efforts.
• Confront and clear any Corsair intruders in Omega-7, 11, and 5. These systems are the core of our Omega efforts and every attempt should be made to keep them secure.
• Confront and clear any Unioners from systems within Rheinland or Omega space. These traitorous friends of the Corsairs cannot be allowed to expand their sphere of influence.
• Harass the Rheinland Military and Police forces when possible. Pitched battles are not our goal; focus on irritation, distraction, and the draining of resources from these groups.

Rules & Membership
[color=#222222]On Roleplay
The Red Hessian Army demands that its members operate in an RP manner when in public places and using public communications. We will not tolerate out of character system chat in game, out of character posting in roleplay-designated forums, or out of RP behavior in game. We are revolutionaries with some very obvious and ever-present enemies close to home, so operate in a manner which reflects this situation.
On Membership
• Read the Server Rules.
• Read them again.
• Read the Red Hessian Army Information Site. Yes, all of it.;)

• If you answered “no” to any of those questions, RHA is not for you.
• Your first character must pilot a Fighter or Raider class ship from the approved ship list.
