Synopsis
The Independent Mining Guild (IMG) is a loose confederation of miners who work those fields that have thus far remained undeveloped by the larger mining companies. Conflict between IMG and BMM in Tau space was one of the primary causes of the war between Bretonia and Kusari.
History
Seeking to follow their profession freely, the Independent Miners Guild was founded by Rheinlandish laborers who felt systematically exploited by Kruger and Daumann. Being a small and poor group of workers, not capable of defending its mining rounds in the new, and for most parts unexplored, solar systems of the Omegas, the IMG got threatened and expelled by the security wings of Rhineland’s corporations. Forced to leave home, they settled in Bretonian space. Not accepted but tolerated, they managed to keep their independence and even grew constantly as disappointed, unemployed or even abused laborers of the Bretonian corporations joined the Miners Guild for decades and centuries. Only some old Rheinlandish slang words remembered of the guild's origin until the year of 702 A.S. Due to the economic crisis after the 80-Years-War, masses of unemployed workers from Rheinland joined the IMG.
Objectives and Characteristics
Image:Ps.jpg The IMG openly denounces the exploitation of Bretonian laborers as it always did. However, being independent is the most important characteristic of the Guild. For that reason it does not participate in local politics. The IMG is deeply troubled by the ongoing war between Kusari and Bretonia. With its assets split across the front lines the IMG is currently pursuing a peace settlement between the great Houses.
The IMG being a smaller organization then the larger house corporations finds it hard to compete in civilized space. For this reason IMG has staked a large investment in its outposts in the Border Worlds and in Deep Space Exploration, attempting to find and exploit natural resources. Because they operate so far from civilized space in systems infested with Corsairs and Outcasts the IMG has built up a sizable defense arm to protect its assets.
Organization
The IMG is led by a High Council of senior members who direct policy and conduct foreign relations. The High Council is in charge of every policy put in place by the IMG though most work will be delegated to the Ministries. The Commons Council consists of every member of the IMG and holds the power to elect or call a no confidence vote against any High Councilor.
The four ministries Defense, Interior, Economic, and Foreign, all conduct the day to day operations of the Guild. The ministries are allowed to act freely however their actions may be reviewed at anytime by the High Council.
Currently the makeup of the IMG leadership is as follows:
High Council: Arthur von Seelenburg -Foreign Minister Hand of Sceiron Endeavour-Ian -Defense Minister Tenrik Auximines -Buissness Minister Starless Black -Interior Minister
