Faction Expansion Requests

[Nor'baal]

Faction Name: The Desilijic Crime Family


Expansion Justification: Having been active as a faction for just over two months (and before that active as the Exchange) we can now claim 14 members, with several other characters interacting through contracts. Our Members work hard to develop stories for others, and our Hutt Players are working on a system to support and foster story development for other players and characters.


In addition, with the large number of threads we have done on Nar Shaddaa alone, it would be good to build up our influence, and finally lay claim to the Grid as a base for operations and growth in the future.

Threads:
Please note, the following four threads are linked in the PM exchange between you and me Dmitri (I cannot link them here, new phone and I have no idea how to on it). These threads have been all started and completed on Nar Shaddaa. We have more on Nal Huttaa as well, and Fyre did some more on Shaddaa should further threads be needed.


Division: The Hutts take over the Exchange (Open)
Duelling Ring: A good bit of PvP (Open)
Mask of Darkness: Helping a Sith Noble (NPC) to ‘misplace’ his money (Ask)
A Good Deal: Buying Slaves (Ask)

Expansion Request​

FACTION NAME: - The Desilijic Crime Family (soon to be ‘The Corporate Alliance’)
EXPANSION JUSTIFICATION: - Having secured the grid square containing Nar Shaddaa and Nal Hutta, in addition to running missions on Manaan, Etti IV, Ylesia and the Asteroid Belts of the Hutt Space; we have seen our membership increase (going from around seven members, to nineteen, with twenty-two active PCs). Alongside this, we have absorbed a new faction; which has been incorporated into the write up below. CNN has been more active than before, and with new plot lines planned with indie players and factions alike, expanding the faction appears (in my eyes) justified, so as to enable it to reposition itself into a place in which it can become a bigger player on a Galactic Scene.
NEW CONTENT: - Please see below.

The Corporate Alliance

​

Formed out of a mutual interest in Corporate Indiependence, the Corporate Alliance is known as a ‘Shared Business Entity’ in which each company that serves as a signatory to the Corporate Alliance owns a small share holding in one another; centered around a core entity known as the ‘Corporate Alliance Executive Directorate’ which serves to facilitate the cooperation of the Companies and to manage their sectoral Security Forces.

Whilst it strives to ensure that it continues to have a spotless Corporate image, the Corporate Alliance is in fact plagued with corruption, and is widely considered to be one of the main suppliers for the Black Market in the more ’Civilised’ parts of the Galaxy. Lead by the ‘Corporate Alliance Executive Directorate’, which serves as a meeting place for the CEO’s and Shareholders of the three ’Core Founders’ of the Alliance, the Group is made up of the ’Chiewab Amalgamated Pharmaceuticals Company’, ’Czerka Arms’ and the ’Desilijic Trust’ making it the largest Corporate Entity in the Galaxy.

The following Corporations make up the Directorate of the Corporate Alliance, which professes to be a democracy by ‘Shareholder Directive’, the truth of course is far different, with 15% of the shares in each Corporation being held by its fellow founders (for example, the Desilijic Trust is owned thusly; 15% Chieweb, 15% Czerka Arms, 15% Desilijic Trust and 55% other).​

Chiewab Amalgamated Pharmaceuticals Company

Subsidiaries - Chiewab Nutrition, Corellian Chemical Corporation, Degan Explorations,Geentech

Interests - Medical, Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals

Operations - Manaan, Nar Shadaa & Corellia

​

One of the largest companies in the Health Sector of the Galactic Economy, and unsurprisingly, one of the worst ’Big Pharma’ companies out there, Chieweb is a major player in the research and testing field, as well as one of the premium provides or medical drugs. Using this to fund research into new areas, and well known to prefer a ’Treatment over cure’ approach to dealing with medical issues, Chieweb also has subsidiaries in the BioTech and Chemicals market, and is often sighted as one of the primary reasons for increased costs of living in the outer-rim, as well as the main contributory factor to escalating food prices.

It was formed as part of a deal with the now-defunct Weztron group, in which it gained a significant stake in the Kolto Guilds of Manaan, a deal negotiated by the Desilijic Trust.

Criminal Activities - Making extensive use of the Black Market, the Pharma Company develops and then sells via wholesale to a vast network of dealers and smugglers, Spice and a vast plethora of other narcotics. Operating well within the Slavery Market as well, usually hiding this through its drug testing operations, the Company is well established in the field of ‘Advanced Combat Slaves’, using Drugs and Implants to improve the ‘stock’ which is then pitted in the arena, or sold on. All criminal activities listed here are publicly denied by the company.​

Czerka Arms

Subsidiaries - Czerka News Network, Czerka Science & Research

Interests - Weapons Manufacture, Development & Technology

operations - Taris, Nar Shaddaa, Etti IV

​

A spin-off of the formerly vast ’Czerka Corporation’, ’Czerka Arms’ was originally purchased by a group of Core World investors, from planets such as Taris and Coruscant, after the stock value nosedived following the death of Voren Makr. With its main product lines being proven to be insanely popular with Smugglers and other such criminal types, the Company's new management embraced the fact of their Criminality, and relocated their main Operations to Hutt Space.

Establishing themselves as the primary developer and wholesaler into the Black Market, which now dwarfs their sales into the more conventional markets of the legal world, the Company purchased the CNN group to reunite the Czerka brand, as well as opening its own Science & Research branch for the development of more cutting edge weapons.

Criminal Activities - Huge in the illegal arms trade, Czerka arms weapons find their way into almost every war zone in the galaxy. Using a network of criminals and smugglers to sell their firearms, it is actually the case that the company makes more from its black market sales than it does from its legal contracts. All criminal activities listed here are publicly denied by the company.​

Desijilic Trust

Subsidiaries - Nar Shaddaa Security Corporation, HyperMap, Outer Rim Excavations (ORE)

Interests - Transportation, Mining & Chemicals

Operations - Nar Shaddaa, Sleyheron, Nal Huttaa, Ylesia

​

The original proposers of the formation of the ’Corporate Alliance’ the ’Desilijic Trust’ is the trading name of the legitimate side of the Desilijic Kajadii, a crime Family of Hutts that sits at the head of the Hutt Council on Nal Hutta. Starting out as street Gangsters and Brokers of Black Market contracts, the families operations grew under the command of the brothers Nor’baal and Keddo Desilijic, to become one of the largest Criminal & Corporate entities in the Sector.


Controlling a vast network of smugglers, it was easy for the Hutts to make a move into bulk freight haul, both by hyper-rail and space bound. Combined with their fuel interests in Jiguuna and Sleyheron, the family collectivised their efforts into a trust and proposed the foundation of the ’Corporate Alliance’ to keep pace with their rapid pace of expansive growth.


Criminal ACtivities: Whilst the Hutts do not share the same understanding of Crime as the more civilised planets, many worlds would consider the ‘Protective Taxes’, and flagrant use of Gangs to extract money and goods from locals near their zones of operation, as crime. Hosting Bounties, forming protection rackets and running illegal pit-fights are a huge part of the Desilijic Trusts business. All criminal activities listed here are publicly denied by the company.​

Corporate Alliance Defence Executive (C.A.D.E)

’’Prevention. Protection. Retaliation.’’

​

With the assistance if the Independant Assault Unit (a group that was sponsored by the former Desijilic crime family), C.A.D.E is a rapid reaction force, that not only servces to protect the interests of the Corporate Alliance, but also as a new revenue stream; for it is well known to rent its services out to others.

Many Corporations of old employed an almost paramilitary force to protect their interests. The Corporate Alliance avoids such expenses through C.A.D.E, which operates in two distinct branches which are as follows:


Military Contractors - When a significant threat or issue arises, C.A.D.E provides contracted work to noted individuals to act in the interest of the company. These contracts are issued and posted when a severe situation arises, payments are high, and lengths of these contracts can vary greatly.

OOC: Effectively a Bounty Board, this group is supplied with the top of the range equipment, and is effectively an ad-hoc army contracted when needed most.


Security Personnel - Day to Day security is also arranged by C.A.D.E, with relevant gear and tactics. Functioning more like a police force, and serving to protect key personnel and escort them, the Security Department is a small team, issued with standard gear.

OOC: This group is mostly for those who wish to PvE or do investigate/intelligence work.


Criminal Activities - C.A.D.E has only one Criminal Activity, Corporate Espionage and Sabotage. It activity looks the other way when it comes to the company's unethical and illegal practices, and viciously protects the image and brand of the Corporate Alliance, through Corporate Authorised Force when required. Quite simply, the C.A.S.E do not accept any law other than the whim of the Board. All criminal activities listed here are publicly denied by the company.
​

Ranks & Membership (17)


​

CEO’s - People who run the Corporations that make up the ’Corporate Alliance’. These positions shall be reserved to begin with the FL/AFLs of the faction only as they are very boring to RP. They serve as the ‘Executive Body’ of the group IC.
Members: Jedan Ridan (Corporate Alliance Directorate CEO), Jett Nova (@Taz) CASE CEO

Hutts & Investors - Each Corporation has a group of private investors behind it, who own shares in the Corporations themselves. For example, tHe ’Desilijic Trust owns 15% of each Corp, or 5% of the ‘Corporate Alliance’ as a whole. Currently, only the Hutt Family are open for membership, due to the current interest there. Should 2-3 people wish to form an investment group with interests in one of the other two Corporations, let me know and we shall review this rule. IC these people serve as the ’Lower House’ of the Government.
Members - Nor'baal Desilijic Koragga - Nor'baal, Keddo Desilijic - @Meckabro - Coruscant, Etaak Desilijic - @Pulsar, ​

Directors - These people are the top level officials within the Corporate Alliance, the srt of people with six-figure paychecks, and far too many flash speeders. They serve to run entire mission arcs, and are the faction equivalent of a Sith Lord.
Members - Lars Warren - Poop Fairy - Hutt Space, Sangga (Public Relations Director)

Executives - Experts in their field, they come in two types, Business and Security. Business Executives are people who work for the Corporations directly, and might be a lead researcher, top regional player or something else. Security Executives are the leaders of Security Groups, roaming teams who respond to issues across the Corporate Alliance.
Members - Bellatrix - @EmilyHuene, Rameses - @Alhon, Miz (CASE) - @Swag

Operator - The junior level role, once again split as per the Executives. They are your ’Team Members’, the vital front line in any business.​

Members - Jason Flemming - @Andrewza,Forge - @The New Guy ,Drom Rekkin, @DromRekkin ,Miz - @Swag ,Zadair Tin - @Meckabro ,Riunn - @Riunn ,Shar Navak - @Swaglord ,Wald - @Captain Hook

Intent

​

As the Desilijic Faction has grown, so to has its membership base and capabilities on a wider Galactic scale. Looking back over various factions, I have begun to notice a pattern in what people enjoy, and is is my intent to cater to those needs through this faction; providing immersive and enjoyable story telling opportunities for everyone here to enjoy. Overall, that is the goal: To provide a neutral entity on the Galactic Stage that tells the story of the foundation of the Corporate Sector.

To go into more detail, please read on.

PvP Players - Catering to people's desire to engage in Player Versus Player combat is also a concern here, and that is what i envisage the Security Section doing, on a contract basis. Rather than providing a rank & file military force, we intend to provide a mercenary based, contract lead group; that uses people on a avase by vase basis to attain certain objectives, be it neutralising threats, or claiming/defending grid squares. This provides enjoyment, and flexibility to our PvP based members.

Passive RP - Alongside this, there is a considerable element of the playerbase who prefer to avoid PvP, and invest considerably into the characters stories, not wishing to place them at risk. However a lot of the time these players are also concerned that their plans and stories make no impact on the wider TL. Using the Corporate Alliance, we shall attempt to make a change here, using passive RP and PvE to run mission Arcs that could quite literally change the face of the map.a

Crime - One of the core areas of activity in the faction, criminal RP will be the usual stuff we have seen in the Exchange and Desilijic Factions. Piracy, Smuggling, and general thuggery will be the name of the game here. This is something we have a proven track record of doing, and fully intend to continue.​

Expansion Justification: The Void Serpents have been a relatively active faction despite its small userbase, and has worked hard to try and take control of Zakuul. In addition, the players have had many threads together that helped build character and establish purpose. Combined with the upcoming timeskip, I feel it is reasonable to request an expansion.

Uh, if you're looking at requests again...

FACTION NAME: The Paladins of Mortis

EXPANSION JUSTIFICATION: In the five years since their arrival on Adumar, the Paladins have worked to unite the fractious governments on the planet and succeeded after a civil war in which they backed a number of smaller states in a coalition against Cartann, the largest and most aggressive Adumari nation-state. In the aftermath, the victorious perators elected Grand Master Helin Tyris to serve as their first Empress-- a title which, by her own decree, does not extend past Adumar and the wider Katorrs system, as she considers it and any future gains to be under the domain of the Paladins of Mortis, not simply herself or the Adumari.

In the months since this unification, the Paladins sent emissaries to the Uba and Keitum systems to bring the natives of those planets under their protection, and have set up an outpost and mining facility on Aeten II to mine the planet's abundant Stygium crystals for profit with NPCs. The Paladins have no intention of using the crystals for their own purposes, for cultural reasons.



NEW CONTENT:

-One grid square: J-6

-One capital: Adumar.

-One HQ: Sanctus Monastery (in Cartann City, Adumar)

-250 NPC Paladin Knights (100 Cavaliers, 100 Warriors, 50 Scribes)

Harvest and Export operation of Anothian Living Crystals.

J21: 2 systems Kinooine, and Imynjsoph.

Given the small number of available planets in these territories, it is reasonable to believe during the time skip the Protectorate would be able to obtain control of the sparsely inhabited territories.

L-20: 3 systems Rutan, Ord Antalaha, and Subterral.

Due to current operations in that area, it is reasonable to believe those operations would have been completed and control of the sector would have been obtained during a 5 year Time-Skip.
Missions in L-20:
[OPEN]Kjlljk Rising: Rutan's peace. (Completed)
[OPEN]Senali's Peace. (Completed)
[OPEN]The Long Fall. (In Progress)

[big][big]The Void Serpents​

[/big][/big]

Expansion Justification: The Void Serpents have been a relatively active faction despite its small userbase, and has worked hard to try and take control of Zakuul. In addition, the players have had many threads together that helped build character and establish purpose. Combined with the upcoming timeskip, I feel it is reasonable to request an expansion.

THREADS:
Primal Scream - ASK
The Hammer - ASK
Eye of the Storm - ASK
Sisters by Chance, Friends by Choice - ASK
Bound in Blood - ASK
Party Hard - ASK
Coruscant: False Pretenses - MAIN THREAD
A New Grad Title - ASK
As Above, So Below: the Hierophant Falls

New Content​

Control of Zakuul, with a palace serving as its capital.
An Orbital Station surrounding Zakuul
1 Tayana Class Frigate
100 SH-323 Sunbolt Starfighters
50 000 new NPCs

Approved. How the map is structured is currently being worked on, so edit to the map be be a bit in delay.

Uh, if you're looking at requests again...

FACTION NAME: The Paladins of Mortis

EXPANSION JUSTIFICATION: In the five years since their arrival on Adumar, the Paladins have worked to unite the fractious governments on the planet and succeeded after a civil war in which they backed a number of smaller states in a coalition against Cartann, the largest and most aggressive Adumari nation-state. In the aftermath, the victorious perators elected Grand Master Helin Tyris to serve as their first Empress-- a title which, by her own decree, does not extend past Adumar and the wider Katorrs system, as she considers it and any future gains to be under the domain of the Paladins of Mortis, not simply herself or the Adumari.

In the months since this unification, the Paladins sent emissaries to the Uba and Keitum systems to bring the natives of those planets under their protection, and have set up an outpost and mining facility on Aeten II to mine the planet's abundant Stygium crystals for profit with NPCs. The Paladins have no intention of using the crystals for their own purposes, for cultural reasons.



NEW CONTENT:

-One grid square: J-6

-One capital: Adumar.

-One HQ: Sanctus Monastery (in Cartann City, Adumar)

-250 NPC Paladin Knights (100 Cavaliers, 100 Warriors, 50 Scribes)

-10,000 NPC support staff for the Order.

-One outpost in Keitum

-One outpost on Uba I

-One outpost on Aeten II

-Mining facility on Aeten II

This is a little tricky. On the map, that territory is currently controlled by the Jedi. If you have the threads, you could war for the area. I'll look into the matter.

Still, threads? Needing those before I can approve.

Rejected. It was never promised that a post time skip request with an explanation for what was done during the skip would be approved; only considered.

You can present an expansion request with reasons for why you believe the passage of time warrants it. We'll then review it!

The story behind it is decent, but ultimately irrelevant. The work was not put into obtaining this grid. The reluctance I have been shown to be supplied with any threads suggest to me that outside the planetary write-up very little to no work was put into obtaining this planet. If a story can be made or there's work behind it I tend to lean towards allowance, to give more opportunities. But there was a plethora of opportunities. This faction was created in January, months before the time skip. The Kjlljk Protectorate was created a couple months after Paladins and they got a lot of threads done, even earning territory (granted they sought more than one, but the evidence that they tried is still there). I am not sympathetic to lack of effort put into acquisition.

You want Adumar? Fight the Jedi for it. I may possibly be amendable to consider waiving any prerequisites needed before attacking the Jedi stronghold if given a worthy justification and evidence that something will be done. Until then, the map stays as it is.
