History and introduction

History
Bretonia Mining and Fabrication BMF| is a Bretonian industrial company with its headquaters located in Orbit of Planet New London New London system at space station Isle Of Skye.

Founded in the year 821 A.S. by the pecunious Lord Duncan MacRae and the motto "Fide et Fortitudine", the intend of Bretonia Mining and Fabrication BMF| is not profit-driven. Instead the primary intend is to realize secure and well paid jobs for any Bretonian and allied or friendly Sirians.
Moreover, the secondary intend is to strengthen the Bretonian economy with products like ore, spaceship equipment and space stations.

Later on Lord Duncan MacRae ship is lost in unstable Jump-hole and nobody knows if he is alive or not, and Mr. Zak Conner was left alone with the Bretonia Mining and Fabrication BMF| but he was well trained and prepared by Lord Duncan MacRae, Cpt. Cyrus, and the support of the head of Bretonia Police Authority themselves in order to keep Bretonia organization stable and to avoid any bad impact on Bretonia security or economy, and yet Zak is still living with the hope and the motivation of that Lord Duncan MacRae return. even if he is the only one who believe so.

"We can and we will"

Later on Bretonia Mining and Fabrication BMF| could manage with Base Building team in a big logistic operation to deconstruct Fortitudine and Fortisec space stations and rebuild them in New London system giving an example of not giving up for the well organised working-power after the raw-hydrocarbon mining field in Manchester has dried out and the bases been left useless, therefore, the movement was made and the bases now are focused on storing the Gold Ore giving the space for Isle Of Skye to focus more in the production and other kind of ores, Therefore, the headquarter became in Isle Of Skye

Bretonia Mining and Fabrication BMF| realized Bretonia situation after losing system Leeds and the none stop attacks from GRN without giving up on trying to occupied Liberty systems one after one and leaving Bretonia ashes behind, Bretonia Mining and Fabrication decided to step in and do something.

Bretonia Mining and Fabrication BMF| dedicate its own security station Fortisec as a picking point to support Planet Leeds and prepare suitable place in the station for Marines to be taken later to Leeds and a place for the refugees in the way back so they can receive any medication needed to be transferred later to planet Sprague.

Thats not all, Bretonia Mining and Fabrication BMF| is still did not forget the expending dream in Taus specially Tau-23 which is very rich of resources and link the system again with Bretonia after Galia occupied Tau-31 Gate Construction Site the dream became impossible but not forgotten. now the first priority is to support Bretonia Armed Forces in getting system Leeds back to get their hand on their lost stations like LD-14 and Stokes Mining Station.

Introduction
A fundamental idea is, that Bretonia Mining and Fabrication BMF| can manage all duties and responsibilities without having a president or any executive manager. Decisions are generally made with involving every vote of any member and sometimes only within the company's praticular sector. Howbeit, Lord MacRae may veto.
Instead of being patronised, all members are incorporated and requested to communicate their opinions and their suggestions for improvement. Every member can nominate to assume responsibility or ask for an advanced training to increase and improve his special features and fortitudes.

To be able to defend all members, constructions and achievements, besides providing as much safety as possible in Bretonia Mining and Fabrication BMF| sectors, the company has established an affiliated company named FortiSec as well as it is cultivating fair-minded and respectful relationships to Bretonian lawfuls like the Bretonia Police Authority.

Diplomacy, Contracts & Relations

Diplomacy
BMF is not judging any living being prior meeting in person. But, of course we are respecting Bretonian law and its stated enemies. But in certain situations, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

In business it is never good to burn a bridge, not all business is a relationship so keeping all lines of communication open and friendly is a good policy and there are always going to be areas of weakness where a competitor can step in and help and that goes for both sides.

How does it come for the corporation to have a cruisers?

A corporation in a house system in a direct war with Gallia that have 3 bases one of them in a direct interact with planet Leeds by supporting BAF with Marines and taking care of the refugees to be taken later to planet Sprague shall have something to defend it self.

A second danger that threatening Bretonian corporation like BMF is the direct enemy, which is the Molly that as well have cruisers that happen to be used against BMF during the mining operations in Dublin system.

A third threatening is the corsairs and the Red Hessians that happen to also attack and threatening BMF. Specially that we do mining operations in Omegas.

A potential of piracy possibility from a competitor like IMG that have the ability to use a cruisers against BMF in Taus and the Omegas even if we chose for our self not to go in this direction with our competitor and pirate them, they still they are able to do it.

Overall it was not meant to be abused and in the end its up to the Admins to decide if its a good idea or not

I will also explain my idea about other points that you did not mention and they are actually different from the NPC faction original ID for BMM.

Why i cant have business with a competitor ? why i cant use a competitor miner to mine for me ? if it is beneficial for me or for both of us i dont see any reason why not since its not gonna be a relationship, if both sides agree i dont see a problem and they still can compete in general and even have piracy against each others in other situations if required.

The original BMM ID contains only *Cannot ally with any unlawfuls* i added *except with Outcasts against other unlawfuls or Gallia only.* since its already exist in Outcast ID as follows *Cannot ally with any lawfuls except with Bretonian lawfuls against other unlawfuls or Gallic Royal Navy only.*
Also there is a common enemy with the Outcast which is corsairs that is why i mentioned the part *except with Outcasts against other unlawfuls or Gallia only.*

From Bretonia history it says

Recent crime figures released by the Bretonian Home Office show that 30% of piracy in core space is attributable to Corsairs, 23% to various Molly groups, 14% Hackers, 11% Gaians and Gaian-related pirates, 13% to the Bretonian Buccaneers and of the remaining 9%, of which most are independent pirates, only 1% have been positively identified as Outcast cases.

There is a rumour that says BAF are suspected to use Outcasts against Kusari during the war

All that means that the Outcasts are a special case for Bretonia so it make sense to ask Outcast for example to defend me for a fee or even sell them our production or even our ore since they can fly in Bretonia without any problem.

That is my opinion about the points that are different from the NPC faction original ID for BMM.

As you said Bretonia is at war and Bretonian industry currently is suffering for the lack of Leeds. Do you honestly think that instead of producing or repairing cruiser for the Armed Forces or Police in such conditions, when GRN is already raiding Manchester, someone would produce the CRUISER for the mining corporation? Bretonia Armed Forces is purchase Libertorian ships for a good reason, the reason is weaker Bretonian industry.

Like yes, you pointing the enemies, but dealing with them is the primary job of Naval, Police and Intel factions. From your words BMF is going to land marines and move cruisers at the war with Gallia, instead of making money and help to produce the cruisers for Armed Forces (which would any normal corporation at the state of war do). It smells like 50,000 Zoner BMF Marines. Where BMF will take a good crew and how this crew will do better than professional officers of the Armed Forces? What's the point? A lot of question like such will appear. With the logic "We have a lot of pirates to shoot" every corp can get the cruiser, yet it does not make any sense, because every corp have pirates and enemies on their way, a lot of them. Molly have a cruiser? LR have exactly the same cruiser, does it mean that I will see DSE Battlecruiser tomorrow? Not a think so. Speaking of IMG, it is not the House corporation and to be honest I'm not the fan of idea IMG having caps as well. In theory IMG have no Navy faction around to protect them.

That's not nice and barely complies with your own lore. You have 2 lawful factions with cruisers to protect you in Bretonia, cooperate, make the deals and nice interactions, instead of making such dubious things.

Spoiler

It's like if you're making a state within a state.

Houses have their own way of functioning. The BPA take care of the laws, like special cargo permits or POB permits, and they also intercept smugglers and escort merchants. Using their TLAGSnet they can see which ship docks which lane/gate in Bretonia, and scan its cargo using the /showscan [name] command. However, they can't fly battleships and don't have much interest in raids. They also can't fly large transports.

The BAF defend the House from its foreign enemies. That's why they can fly all the military ships. However, they don't have any business in approving, for example, base construction, and are only the strong arm if the base is illegal. They don't have TLAGSnet access and can't fly large transports, but can still uphold the laws and fight pirates, although that's mainly the BPA's job. The BAF handle foreign capital ship permits.

The BMM are the national industrial company. They produce ships and equipment for the two above, themselves and Bowex, as well as any civilians who can pay for them. In return, the two above protect them and Bowex ships their stuff. Their main business is mining. They have nothing to do with conflict, as they are civilians, but they do have some sort of security (like banks iRL have security, which has firstly been government-approved), hence they can fly fighters, bombers and gunboats. In real life, a company that produces tanks sells them to the military, and doesn't use them itself.

Bowex is a national shipping company. The BMM mine out the ore, smelter it, make stuff of it, and Bowex export the excess and thus make money for Bretonia by trade. In return, they ship back the resources which Bretonia is low on. The BMM process them and use them for producing things.
When in Bretonia, Bowex is protected by the BPA and the BAF, and supplied with ore by the BMM. When in a different House, for example Rheinland, they are protected and supplied by Rheinland's organizations. They have nothing to do in, for example, Omega-41, but in case they just need to go somewhere very far, they can use gunboat escorts of their own.

Gateway are a private shipping company. They are not so tied to the government, which means that they are slightly more free in choosing who to sell goods to and where to go, but in return have less say in the Kingdom's politics. Of course, all embargoes to foreign factions apply to them as to anyone else. They are just civilians from Bretonia, making money for themselves and abiding by the laws, being taxed as common citizens all the while. They have some sort of security, of course.

All these above form the Kingdom of Bretonia as one faction. Every one of these has one or two representatives in the War Cabinet, which currently functions as the government of Bretonia. As you can see, each is specialized for one thing, which makes them the best at that. The other thing is covered by the others, who are best at their jobs. Because Freelancer is a shooter game, we should separate the combatants, who are the BPA and the BAF, and the civilians, who are everyone else. I have yet to see a civilian operating a combat-ready battleship or a military to trade oil with huge tankers.

I hope this makes it clearer how Houses work.

PS: I forgot Planetform, but they aren't official anyways. But you should get it by now. I wish you luck with your officialdom, and I suppose the BMF can get a representative in the Cabinet if you succeed. I've been wondering though, what makes the faction different from BMM? Maybe it's more of a private company, like Gateway?

@ Shiki

While I agree it wouldn't make much sense if BMF spammed cruisers, not to mention so far BMM ID does not allow them, if BMF want to SRP one cruiser, and come up with a logical and sound story about it, where's the problem in that?

In case you didn't notice, in Rheinland corporation does have a cruiser - ALG. They prepared good rp story about obtaining the ship, they lobbied for it to be allowed in Rheinland, and here we go:
http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=139669

Zak Conner also does have a point - IMG has cruisers (please let's not derail the thread into "should it" subject), and its house competitors may feel threatened. They may see a need to counter that in some ways.
