Background and History
The Sindacatu Corse, a powerful criminal syndicate, traces its origins to the descendants of Corsican culunisti who were present aboard the Gallia colony ship. Initially, a group dedicated to preserving their cultural eredità, the Sindacatu Corse evolved into a formidable organization, combining traditional Corsican values with ruthless efficiency in their operations. Over time, they have established themselves as a key player in the Gallic underworld and political scene alike, and seek to expand their influenza into Sirius. With great pride, they like to use elements of the Corsican language of their ancestors.
Activities
The Sindacatu Corse is involved in a wide range of legal and illicit activities, including: The tourism and recreation business:
Provence is the Gallic go-to system for tourism, prostitution and any vices the strict military-driven society of Gallia desperately craves, and Corse is here to host whoever pays and plays by their rules. Smuggling:With the now self-applauded blockades between Gallia and Crayter, Kusari and Bretonia, the Corse are the ones that can get things from the banned houses at a very high premium. Nox: The production, refinement, attempts at synthesising and securing logistical networks in Sirius are at the Course of our activities. Acquisitions: The Sindacatu Corse does all it can to present a true neutral, profit-driven front. In the shadows, however, assassinations and acquisitions through violence are how we often achieve our goals. This is done strictly when we are sure either nobody will find out, or there will be plausible deniability. Extortion: The way of the Corse is that of doing favours, providing resources, and even accepting contracts on behalf of various stakeholders, all this is to gain trust and power, slowly but surely. After a foothold has been established, this has the potential of leveraging power to extort protection money and other tributes from businesses and smaller criminal groups. Influence Peddling: Using bribery, perks, and corruption to manipulate political and economic systems to their advantage.
Allies and Rivals True Allies: None. The Corsicans see everyone but themselves as a mere tool to further their goals. If the backs of their "allies" were turned, and nobody would find out, the Corsicans would be ready to act if it furthers their goals.
Allies on paper: The Corse portray themselves as a true quasi-lawful neutral and accommodating faction to all sides to further their sphere of influence. They are required to be on the good side of all House Lawfuls in order to move freely, they often do this by accepting contracts from the likes of the Crayter Republic and even the Union itself, posing as mercenaries. They require unlawful allies in order to expand their Nox distribution network, in Gallia most notably the Brigands. It is a dangerous game they play, and it is not always successful, but if Corsicans had their way, they would be portrayed as neutral and helpful business partners by everyone but...
Rivals: The Outcasts. Nox is pretty much the opposite of Cardamine and they could potentially be used in unison. One is a powerful stimulant, the other is the strongest psychedelic drug on the market. Get your high on Cardamine during business hours, relax and go to sleep on Nox when you are at home... In practice, however, The Outcasts and their drug are an existential threat to Corse, there is a constant battle for distribution networks and for the limited purchasing power of Sirians. The addictive nature of Cardamine gives it an edge over Nox, and the Corsicans use any means necessary to keep it out of Gallia and to sabotage the Outcasts by any means necessary
Zones of Influence Gallia
The Sindacatu Corse is traditionally based in Provence and in Gallia, where Corse enjoy direct political influence, strong Nox distribution networks developed by manipulating the Brigands and Maquisards, and are the necessary force the Union cannot do without as they provide an outlet to the squeezed Gallic Society in Provence, provide what is needed by breaching the blockades, can have built up so much influence over the politicians they cannot be rooted out any time soon.
Sirius
Everywhere else, the Corse are dead set on their expansion, making "allies", providing favours, and acting as run-off-the-mill mercenaries in order to build up the same position they enjoy in Gallia and Provence.
Ships and Technology
Custom Ships: The Sindacatu Corse fleet consists of Corsican vessels, mostly based on Brigands technology, optimized for speed, stealth, and combat. These ships are designed to evade detection and engage in swift, decisive attacks, while still being able to disappear right back into the shadows without anyone finding out, sporting their signature "Noir" black theme.
What do we actually do?
Commerce and trade of legal goods across Gallia and Sirius to maintain our quasi-lawful front.
Escort and contract work for various sides and stakeholders, ranging from House militaries to Criminal groups like the Corsairs, in order to support our connection and influence building enterprise in deep Sirius. We are registered on many bounty boards.
Nox smuggling and connection building - we smuggle Nox directly, and use other groups when we can, showing the benefits of the natural remedy while downplaying the risks.
Outcast strikes - while pursuing Mercenary work outside of Gallia, sabotaging and striking the Outcasts alongside any side available is our priority - this has recently led to frequent combat assistance to the Corsairs in their skirmishes while we claim the bounties for Outcast heads.
Acquisitions - Corse have been known to straight up murder their closest "allies" and take what they want. We do this only in high-reward, low-risk scenarios when we are positive nobody will find out, near Corse bases or remote Nebulae where communications are jammed and always in the shadows.
