I ve started this topic to see what people think about IMG.I know that there is powerful faction Colonial Remnant or CR.But i am not interested in them.I would like to see are they something more then just
miners organization,are they rich or powerful etc.
yeah we are trying to get an official faction up and working but things have slowed down somewhat so we are waiting for members to comeback and stuff:)
Yeah, our own IMG (not the phake CR:P) Aren't very active recently.
And I even think I know why - Trade... mine... trade... mine... Outcast! RUN!... mine... trade...
Nonononono, this ain't no negative advertising! IMG apre probbaly the nicest RP pick there is - they are tangled in between Kusari and Bretonia, constantly trying to survive Outcast attacks and praying that Corsairs don't start shooting again.

You are absolutely right about that.But I am investigating their deeper cause of existence.Why were they created?Are they rich faction? and many more reasons why i started this post about them in the first place.
Well, tell ya what my research results are so far:
IMG and Mollys were the same bunch on the founder's day revolt in Dublin. They split later cuz the independent miners didn't want to get too hostile with Bretonia. Because they use jumpholes and don't have any real work patterns, rules etc (Like in a house corporation), I assume, they might actually be as rich as the GMG, just that their capital is dispersed - no real boss = no real leading. Only time I saw some leadership mentioned was one news article. The IMG bosses are quite simply representatives from each base with each holding an equally powerful vote. Democracy at its finest.
Free market philosophy is also a big advantage. Miners are paid proportionally as to how much they bring back to base, not how long they stay outside = work efficiency is way better than in e.g BMM, which
As far as I know, the IMG were initially Rheinland workers who were fed up with Kruger and Daumann after the 80-years war and weren't as radical as the Hessians. They moved into the nearby border worlds (Omega-7) and setup their own mining operation at Freistadt Base, and founds a great following not only from their fellow Rheinlanders, but also the Bretonians.
After this, they expanded into Bretonia and found more support in the miners of Dublin who weren't as radical as the Mollies. They occupied Battleship Hood, and build several other installations around Bretonia.
They then expanded into the Taus and found a true enemy, the Outcasts. The Outcasts didn't like outsiders before, but an organization as large as the IMG might bring attention to them and their homeworld, which is one system away from Falklands Base. They long to destroy the IMG to keep their world a secret, but are unable to find the IMG installations.
I'm still pretty confused on their part in the Bretonia-Kusari war, but they're headquarters is technically on South Shields (from what I heard) in the Newcastle system. I think they're moderately rich, but that's just me.

from what ive seen they are very rich. They aren't just miners, they produce military vessels (in association with GMG). They have "ministers" and lots of soldiers. They are weaker than the kusary or brets but ONLY BECAUSE they are dispersed. If they were more centralized they would be enforcing their own agenda. They dislike the brets more than the kusary but are too vulnerable (not weak, just vulnerable) to stand up. Profit and peace are their main objectives and their peace proposals have been ignored by both sides.

Not to mention mineing takes UBER long and the outcast can kill trade ships in 4.5 seconds and tradeing the Niobium to Rhinland gets you marked as a diamond niobium runner.
IMG is were I started but the mineing thing is broken IMHO. Other than that they are cool.
