New Vigilante Faction

[Chucc]

817AS: As the price of living started to rise, piracy levels skyrocketed. With that the number of vigilantes began to rise as well. Self-funded and determined, they brought many criminals to justice. Many of them worked alone and were killed because the criminals possessed advanced technology and large ships.

After years of this happening, many Vigilantes started to work together. Civilians began to give them information on pirate whereabouts, and misinformation lead to the deaths of many, ambushes were set, and battle cruisers sent in, they were outgunned and there was nothing they could do.

818AS: A pilot by the name of Jason Flint realized that something had to be done or the pirates would just keep slaughtering more and more innocents. He started the VPG and sent out the members to all the major houses in Sirius to gain more support. Some joined, others were hesitant about working with others and some completely refused and said nothing will ever change.

'€œLaw enforcement can only go so far, they are bound by their laws and paper trails, but we are not. We can track down those who commit crimes and punish them. '€œ - Jason Flint 818AS.
Faction Goal: The VPG has only one goal, and that is to make space travel safe for other civilians by removing pirates and terrorists that operate in populated areas, by any means necessary.

That is an edited and spell checked version of your main history. It sounds pretty good for a starting idea. where you tinking of working out of base wise? Who is your main nemesis or is there one? Do you have any relation to the BHG player or NPC faction's. What is the stand point of your vigilantes if the traveler is being harrassed needlessly by lawfuls?

For example:

Smuggler John is heading to Rochester, having no real contraband at this time, but having a history of being shady, the LN or LPI currently patroling decides to intercept and badger John, even though he is completely within the law and minding his own business.

How do you respond?

If you leave them be, the population may see you as just another lapdog of the Government.

If you interfere on behalf of the smuggler you risk negative reaction by the Law, and their big ships with the bubble gum machines on top.

If you ignore it completely, then you aren't REALLY looking out for the innocent, but out to hunt pirates and such and no better than any other Hunter or Merc within 3 systems.


That is my first main thoughts. I say go for it and make sure you get your responses ready and known, so that when they happen you aren't taken off guard.

Good luck.
