The Artisan Farmers Alliance is a group dedicated to maintaining the distinct culture and traditions that have made the Kusari people strong throughout the generations. The AFA is the manifestation of the people's will to fight against the ever growing encroachment of foreign influences here in Kusari. This is achieved through various tactics ranging from boycotting and protests to actions against symbols of foreign companies to destruction of ships and cargo bound for Kusari from other Houses.
Quote:
Look up there, in our skies. You see ships from everywhere in the sector, bring goods and contraband from every corner of Sirius, poisoning our children and corrupting our culture Our culture which has managed to endure till this point due to our pride, honor and sacrifice. These outsiders have no idea of such concepts. Synthfoods brings their bio-dome grown food into our empire, full of chemicals and hormones, and surprise, the rate of cancers among Kusari children has doubled over the last 15 years. Right here in New Tokyo, right up there *points to sky* Roppongi station orbits our Capitol.. Our Capitol, an ever present reminder of the invasion of Kusari culture by the Outsiders. That station, run by Liberty brings drugs and foreign ideas into the Heart of the Shogunate. Our children our lead astray by these outsiders, leaving Kusari never to return. We must fight these outsiders; show them the power of the Shogun, the power of the Empire.
What has become of our Honor, Deshima station stands telling all of Sirius that we can no longer police ourselves, that we need more of these outsiders to catch our criminals. What could possibly be worse than this? These outsiders don't even use our products, Deshima station has Bio-domes to produce its food. Our farms grow the best food in Sirius, and these fields lay fallow, our noble farmers begging for a small shelf in the local market to peddle their produce.
My Brothers, It is time to put thought and word into action. It is time for the Kusari people to rise up and take back our honor, to regain our pride. It is time for Kusari to tell all our Sirius, "Our Markets are closed; we can supply and support ourselves." It is time for the Kusari people to drive these outsiders from our midst.
You my friends are the future of Kusari, it is you who have yet to choose how to serve your Empire. You graduate today, looking to make your mark on history, but not sure how. I will give you an option, come, fight for what you believe. Fight to make Kusari strong again, it is time for Kusari your age to understand that their future lays here; this is where they have something noble to fight for.
Come friends. Join me and together we shall show the Sector what it means to be Kusari.

Aims
We are an unlawful faction in Sirius, but we are neutral to the Kusari Government, as our goals are not to topple the government as the Blood Dragons wish, but to reform the Government, working to bring the Kusari Government back in line with the traditional ways of self reliance and independence. We will bring about this change through extensive use of information dissemination, and political lobbying. This is a war of ideas and the more the Kusari citizen knows about the problem the more popular our ideas will become. Our goal is to convince the Kusari government and people to reject the outside influences that have soiled our young Kusari. Our hope is one day to fight alongside the lawful factions of Kusari in enforcing an embargo on foreign traders.
First of all, I believe we met in character and decided the use of Corsair weaponry was Ok, food shipments have been received and what not. You may definately use Tizonas or whatever, pending approval from leadership (you) of course.:)
Also, is there going to be a stratification? Or a simple leader/follower structure like the NLH?
The Sirius Federation melded into the BPA and QCO/P and other organizations. Also, the LDDLG aren't active anymore, or at least I haven't seen them around, and the BSG broke up.
I am very interested in this faction, and would like to see it get off the ground, good luck!
"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."
For the record, Zelot, the faction was never really dead and we always had approval for it. Plus, my AFA character is always around should he ever be needed...

I know, just wanted to refresh everyone, and I hope it gets going so you have people to come back and fly with.

yes, this doc is alittle old, and in need of a little update. On the command structure question. For the moment I think the NLH model will work best, if we get a good number of memebrs, that would probably change.
Same as AoM here, I wish you best of luck with it.
I already met you ingame and our encounters always were a refreshing experience. I hope we'll see more of you flying around:)
