First of all, I know there is/was a Maquis group which applied for offishulness and got rejected. I dunno if it still exists, but this would not be intended to replace you guys.
Les Maquisards (Maquis ID/IFF)
Taking the name of the guerrilla fighters of an old Gaul story from the Sol system, the Maquisards are the soldiers of the armed civil resistance standing rebel against the crown of Gallia.
Their origin is the result of the dismissal from The Council's military structure in the 7th century of certain high rank individuals who decided to take radical measures in their fight against the crown, using tactics ranging from guerrilla war to armed terrorism. This wasn't welcomed by the rest of The Council, because such means harmed the image with the public opinion.
These ex-military soon recruited their own soldiers amongst the most enthusiast rebel civil population. There were industry workers, young students, union members, teachers and other civilians.
By adopting a guerrilla structure, the different cells of the organization they created do not mantain more contact than necesary between them, preventing that way the breaking of the command chain and the filtration of information. This also allows them to live in secrecy in the core systems of Gallia.
Originally, the size of each operative cell was directly related to the ammount of belic resources his/her former rank had given. After the rupture, they could not keep any capital ships, but they managed to salvage some snubcraft for the cause.
Objectives
* Overthrow the King of Gallia, eliminate the monarchy, and instaurate a revolutionary government, by any means.
* Support The Council, Gallic Brigands and Union Corse in the fight against the Gallic royalist forces, by executing paramilitary operations.
* Sabotage, spy and gather intel against the Gallic royalist forces.
* Expropiate ships, armament and supplies from the crown, as well as chase those who support it.
* Evacuate refugees and supply the civil population caught in the battlefront.
* Rob and openly attack Gallic corporations loyal to the crown and re-distribute wealth among the rebel population.
* Seek support from Sirian groups for the Maquis cause.
* Retrieve and release all rebel prisoners.
Ranks
Each cell has an operative leader, whose hierarchy exists only during the operations. Other than that, each cell works democratically deciding the course of action among all the comrades. All the cell members use codenames to hide their true identity and prevent information leaks in case of captivity and torture.
I wrote all up thinking event-oriented, but it can work as a faction too. Insights?
