That was.. The first thing I wanted to do actually huggie Tongue

BUT, I decided to well, have it be a bit more serious Wink

Rep sheet updated after having discussions with some individuals I am guessing was in charge of said factions

I started out with so much hope. then I scrolled down and saw the rest of the format. My poor eyes. Consider the following:

Many years ago, there existed an organisation within the Outcast society, The Blue Lotus syndicate, whose history is just that, history. But, after their disbandment one of the Dons of that organisation, Don Set Ampelio Ramirez, one who once owned the majority of the cardamine plantations on Malta had left outcast space.

Although most of Don Ramirez’s plantations were sold off to finance his other endeavors outside Outcast space, but, around a third he kept going, his family making sure that they ran awaiting the return of him to his home.

Now, after many years Set has come back to Outcast controlled space and seeing how things have changed, not to his liking, he with the considerable wealth he and his family has amassed over the last two decades he and his family decided it was time to start anew and bring the Orange Dream to all parts of Sirius.

The Black Lotus Cartel, was the new organisation that Set and his family built up from the ashes of the Venezi Syndicate, and its predecessor Blue Lotus Syndicate, operating on the same foundations and ideals of the previous organisations.
But, under the direct supervision of the merciless former Don, Ramirez, the cartel intends not only to spread the Orange Dream, but to spread their influence throughout Sirius.
In the aftermath of the Omicrons becoming more crowded, the Cartel needed to go back to their roots, but also needed to make sure their vessels could peddle their wares in safety. That meant that not only did Ramirez need to outfit smuggling vessels, but also make sure that the old ships that were mothballed in the wake of the disbandment of the previous incarnations of the Cartel, to be brought back into working order. Repairing, restoring them to their old glory so that when and if the Cartel would get into a proper fire fight, they would come out of it without an immense loss of credits.

Besides smuggling, which is the primary goal of the Cartel, their aim is to establish more base of operations throughout Sirius, to not only widen their Zone of Influence but to make it easier for their vessels to operate without having to worry about being stuck in an hostile area of space.
-Building bases in Established areas of influence for the cartel to peddle their wares through.
-Having bases in certain areas (where we sell the merchandise) also provides the pilots with a safe place to dock and hide from enemies.

Providing involuntary workers for the plantations on Malta, selling black market weaponry to allies and friends and all those that wish to get their hands on illegal weaponry.

War with Corsairs, let the ‘Nation of Malta’ focus on the war, the real way of controlling Sirius, and it’s citizens, are to have them dependant on Cardamine.
-The Cartel does have its fleet, although it exists to protect Cartel assets and in special situations to carry out attacks on enemy installations.
-Of course this doesn’t mean that whatever military forces they do command just sit idly by and wait for certain operations, but instead just means that the main point of the Cartel is not to wage war.

Destroying the Stabiline, this.. Disgusting creation of Cryer Pharmaceuticals, is an affront to all respectful Outcasts, this.. Drug, must be destroyed, by any means. Even if it means to target Cryer vessels and all those transports that transport it!
-Piracy Targeting: All transports carrying Stabiline, make them regret to transport the disgusting wannabe Cardamine.
-Hiring others to do the same, target and take out Stabiline shipments throughout Sirius

The Cartel is structured much like, if not exactly like, how the syndicates of Old, pre-sirius were structured, where in a Don, the head of the family is the absolute leader. With an Underboss and Capos to deal with the day to day operations, while the don itself, with advice from it’s Consigliere, organise the Cartel and direct it and gives it the goals for them to prosper and grow.

Don - This is the leader of the Cartel

Underboss - The second in command of the Cartel

Consigliere - The Advisor to the Don and/or the Underboss

Caporegime - The leader of each division of the Cartel
Capo Baston - Leader of the hitters, the military force of the Cartel
Capo Crimine - The Division leader for the smuggling operations of the Cartel

Soldato - The hitters and soldiers of the Cartel

Uomini D'onore / Made man - The men and women of Malta who run the transports and freighters, carrying the Orange Dream to all parts of Sirius!

Picciotto - The little men, these are the enlisted men and women, the lowest rank

Giovane D'Onore / Associate - These are the people that work for the Cartel, without being a part of it. Most often than not, these are the ones the Cartel hire to carry out hits on targets that usually are outside their ZoI.

The RM-2A "Storta" Outcast Destroyer - Limited number of vessels available in the fleet (4)

"Sarissa" Outcast Battleship - Only 2 of these are operated by the Cartel

The D5-2A "Ranseur" Outcast Dreadnought - There is only one Ranseur class Dreadnought in the Cartel and it is Don Ramirez’s old vessel, currently being retrofitted and repaired.

The Cartel use at the moment only Outcast created technology, as well as civilian technology.
Of course, the CODENAME weaponry that are sold on the black market are also useful for the Fighters of the Cartel.

Perhaps, in the future and inRP more technologies can be arranged for our vessels.

The diplomacy we see down here is the natural perception of the Outcast fleet, save perhaps when it comes to Nomads. Ramirez’s family all have great respect towards the Nomads, and does not like his Soldato’s firing on them without a cause.

The diplomacy is also most probably going to change allot as we start doing the work, interacting with others, after a while, the entire diplomacy sheet we have above may have become completely different from what it is now. If your faction wishes to discuss specifics when it comes to this faction and yours, then you are welcome to PM me here, or add me on Discord

This thread is open to Feedback and I appreciate your comments, suggestions or critiques. Also, I am aware that this could very well be something that no one is interested in, but, I think that a smuggling faction would not only fun, it can also prove to be good, giving law enforcement organisations something to do.
Along with other factions that just don't want anything to do with Cardamine smuggling, no to mention the slave trade.

(Note how little I changed, and how much nicer it looks - at least imo)

I would also strongly suggest against using massive wiki images and I would also suggest shrinking down your diplo bars. The contrast isn't the best. I suggest finding a better colour contrast than the two colours you already have, but that is more personal taste. If you would like, I can make you some simple silhouette images of the ships but poke me on Discord if you want me to actually do it.

Side note: I actually had quite a bit of an issue reading it due to the colour/font/size combo. I would strongly suggest using something else.

These are just my suggestions, do what you will.

Good write up, this is how true Outcast group should be. I look forward to meet you in- game.

Took your code and used, I like it allot better then what ever mess I did. Will also get to rezing and fixing up the Ship images, cause, well, I agree.

And I will look into changing both FONT and Colour, just give me a bit <3
Appreciate your thoughts and pointers mate!

Thanks mate, I aim to please, or atleast aim to be what an Outcast is <3

EDIT: There we go, edited ships, placed theminside Spoiler boxes and edited the Font and colour.

Altered Artwork, made the colours easier on the eyes (hopefully)
Linkies to both Message Dump and Recruitment Page up

Just want to let you guys know that Serpentis is currently not available, if you want to talk/plan something about/with BLC| either contact me or Stefz over Skype/Discord.

Have a nice day Smile

I am back for the moment. May be some light fluctuations in and out until perhaps the 6th or so in January. But, you can contact me, Stefz or my man Mataró here for BLC stuff

I am unfortunately bedridden for the forseeable future, I have been diagnosed with ARVD (an heart disease, google it if you want) and will be forced to stay in bed at home for the forseeable future. Until such a time I am no longer stuck in bed and on meds and such and can get back, Stefz and Mataró are in charge. GL HF

Sound interesting. Are you guys still active ?
