It has business contracts with Gateway (for ore shipping from Omega / Bretonia operations) and ALG (which allows me to think IMG is backed by Gaians who don't want IMG to become second BMM).
IMG is friendly towards Red Hessians, Mollys, Colonial Remnant, GMG, (perhaps Zoners, who invest a lot of time into deep space exploration as well), (and perhaps Lane Hackers, at least they have good understanding of each other).
IMG is unfriendly towards Daumann, Kruger, BMM, Corsairs, (perhaps GMS later?).
IMG is hostile towards Mandalorian Mercenaries, Outcasts and individual pirates dealt on case by case basis. However, IMG doesn't fight active fight against anyone.
IMG is repninja'd hostile to Corsair, Outcast, Blood Dragon (I think), BMM, and neutral to Kruger and Daumann (will never be friendly to those). Bascially the only real problems IMG has, are Outcasts in the Tau systems, Corsairs in the Omega systems, and independant pirates or bounty claimers anywhere. Aside from the usual hostile-to-all factions like Nomad, Wild, Phantom... but those are a menace to all lawfuls.
IMG's official faction, IMG|, works closely with the ICMG and Colonial Remnant forces in the Tau systems, where we are most active in niobium mining. Occasionally we'll mine elsewhere - Dublin for gold, Omega for copper, cobalt or silver. Don't expect to be left alone though because of your IMG tag. Independant pirates, and junkers too, will pirate you readily.
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.
