History
The Independent Miners Guild was founded by Rheinlander labourers who felt systematicly exploited by Kruger and Daumann and founded a guild to follow their proffession freely. Being a small and poor group of workers, not capable of defending its miningrounds in the new, and for most parts unexplored, solarsystems of the Omegas, the IMG got threatened and expelled by the securety wings of Rheinlands cooperations.
Forced to leave homespace, they settled in bretonian space. Not accepted but tollerated, they managed to keep their independence and even grew constantly as disapointed, unemployed or even abused labourers of the Bretonian cooperations joined the miners guild for decades and centuries. Only the old names of administrative constitutions reminded of the rheinlandish origin until the year of 702 A.S.. Due to the economic crisis after the 80-Years-War, masses of unemployed workers form Rheinland joined the IMG.
Objectives and Characteristics
The IMG openly donounces the exploitation of Bretonian labourers as it always did. However, being idependent is the most important characteristic of the Guild. For that reason it does not participate in local politics.
Sharing all goods and belongings with fellow Miners and maintain the personal freedom of every individual is and has allways been the most important difference beween "us" and "them". even the Consul himself does'nt enjoy any more confort then any other members of the Guild.
To spread this philosophy, we formed an allience with our Rheinland brothers of the Rheinland corperations, to enlarge our influence on a sirius-wide level, showing every worker anywhere the choice between being independent or exploited. WE are the alternative!
Apart from our long run targets, we are seriously concerned about the war between Kusari and Bretonia. The result of battles and political tensions so far, are nothing less but 148 (!) dead independent miners. Even though we are neutral to the conflict it self, our base "Holman" is currently located on the Kusari-sided frontline. Rumors of Bretonian admirals who would like to see us dead and other signs of tensions rising beween us and Bretonia are horrifying but on a logical base not surprising.
So our mainobjective must be the nagotiation of a peace treaty between the two fighing houses. Or at least we have to convince bretonia of our neutral nature to this war. We could never stand an open conflict versus Bretonia.
We regard it as an obligation, however, to prevent further damage and casulties by guarding our brothers of the Holman outpost, as an evacuation - so a abandonment of the station - is out of question.
Aside from all these we are also one of the best shipwrites in Sirus, our products are known Sirus-wide as some of the best craft avaliable for deep-space exploration.

Zone of Influence And Trading Policys
Every System containing an IMG Base is regardet as our Zone of Influence.
The only task of the Trading Wing is to sell surplus goods and in some cases purchase other goods on the way back to our stations if needed. Goods we Trade are e.g. minerals (like silver, copper, gold) and liquids/gases we mine (like water and oxygen). Other goods produced by our independent society like pharma or consumer goods are common commodities.

well - to QC it looks like we are supporting the kusari forces in tau 31 (incorrect rumor of course) so i think there should be tensions ... shouldnt they? :unsure:
well, should I attempt to dispell the tensions or recall use of Brit ships?
