Information:
The Maltese Opposition Army (MOA) is a group of revolutionaries and rebels fighting for a new, better Outcast government. The ideology of the faction is based around making Outcast space a people’s republic. In the eyes of the Opposition, Malta should belong to the people and not to the few rich and corrupt families controlling it at the moment. As the poverty grows on the streets of Malta, the group is gaining momentum and numbers to face the government. The Maltese Opposition Army was at first a group of pirates, mercenaries, shipyard workers and civilians working in harmony with the National Council but one day it all changed. Approximately 2 years ago, the Maltese Opposition Army separated from the other Outcasts and became a group of their own. They saw the suffering and agony that the National Council has been causing to the people of Malta. With every decision that the council made the factions drifted further apart. They continued to do so until one day they had enough of it. They left the main cities of Malta and hid in the few forests around Malta. The group was first led by Jack Johnson a Maltese businessman who was the first spark of the Maltese revolutionary movement. After he went mysteriously missing in 823 A.S. he was later found in a river on planet Malta, he was dead but the cause of death was never found. Presumably, he drowned. After Jack died, his son, Alexander Johnson was placed in command of the organization. For the last 2 years, he has been leading the MOA, trying to put it back on track. After 2 years of work, the faction finally gained some of the ex-members and began to operate once more. After the faction was reborn, the group was split into two cells. The Arms of the Opposition also known as the army. And the Minds of the Opposition also known as the research cell.
The Arms of The Opposition:
The Arms of the Opposition is the military branch of the MOA. Currently led by the veteran raider and adventurer Roberto Duellos, it favours psychological warfare, ruthless ‘hit and run’ tactics. To evade the attention given to the massing fleets, it's largely composed of civilian and black market ships, with Outcast made vessels kept on a bare minimum. As of now, The Arms mainly consisting of Duellos' Marauders, along with a few other outcasts sympathetic to the cause.
The Mind of the Opposition:
The main purpose of The Mind of the Opposition is to research and adapt outcast technology for their own use. Currently, the whole science cell is gathered on the Divine Gate which acts as the main research vessel for the Opposition. Lead by Serena Gandìlez they are working on countless experiments and tests to achieve their goals. At the moment the cell must focus on the upgrading of the Divine Gate because for the ship to achieve its purpose it must be resistant to heavy capital ship attacks. Currently, around fifty scientists are working on achieving this task. Thanks to private founding the Divine Gate and its scientist are equipped with the finest technology that they found in Sirius. Its secondary purpose is to maintain and take care of the various ships of the Maltese Opposition. Mainly they are busy with repairing and adjusting the components that get damaged in fights. The ship is currently the most important vessel for the opposition since it represents their only place to stay outside of Malta. The fleet bays are able to hold up to Gunboat class vessels while the scientists are repairing them. Although those are expensive to maintain.
