RE: Classified partial report of [D4Rk]Syndicate top operatives, personal data, ID's, tags and callsigns
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[D4Rk]Syndicate is a group of terrorists/pirates who have established a conglomerate trading company
front with Zoners who are sympathetic to the Nazione Maltese of Planet Malta, supporting and funding
Outcast gorilla operations and "helping the Tau systems to realize the "Orange Dream" through
cardamine smuggling, slave trading and less than savory quasi-lawful commodity trading. It is
noteworthy to mention that the majority of the conglomerates funding comings from lawful transations
between Zoner Traders who supply commodities to Independent Miner Guild (IMG) operation bases, who
moonlight per deim in the employ of Maltese pirates by transporting contraband when IMG is busy with its
own enemies and competitors.

[D4Rk}Syndicate members operate by the Pirates Code and will not engage
Zoners, Junkers or Freelancers unless forced to but will expect a Toll Tax for any cardamine shipments leaving
Omicron-Alpha via the Omicron 80 jumphole or entering via Tau-37 regardless of faction excluding the [101st],
|+| and other Outcast Official factions. [D4Rk]Syndicate memebrs [X] are typically friendly towards .:j:., JM|,
[TAZ], OSI| but will expect a small cut if scanned with shipments of cardimine leaving the organizations zone of
influence. Syndicate members marked [X] consider IMG| tag hostile but please note that [D4Rk}'s Lawful Export
Division marked [LED] have a relationship with IMG and operate primarily in IMG occupied space despite
being somewhat under the thumb of the Independent Miners Guild prices.

[D4Rk]Syndicate's home turf stretches from Omicron-Alpha to Omicron-80 but the organization seems
fixated on access to the TAU systems despite IMG policing efforts. Recent reports suggest a possible
operations base is currently being established to ensure the success of Zoner trading runs, somewhere in
the Omicron-Tau interface. This sect of Zoners who have been rumored to call themselves "Dark Zoners,"
were mostly lawful traders who struggled to make ends meat transporting commodities for IMG and GMG
bases, despite access to large transports, and who feel that life under the thumb of IMG Enforcers reflects
that which they have been trying to escape by leaving the capitalistic lawful house systems in the first place.
IMG pays Zoner cargo haulers fractions in comparison to the profits they use to fund and protect thier own
interests, so fly-by-night cardamine runs have attracted a variety of Zoners in the transporting business who
are either sympathetic or friendly towards the Outcasts and their cause.

[D4Rk]Syndicate has two divisions currently, its main crime ring organization [X] and its Lawful Exports
Division [LED]. Unfortunately little is known about its individual members having escaped from the Sirius_Void
universe and our data is incomplete, but an early reports can be found <here>. The current list of operatives

Quick thoughts after reading over this:

-If you start taxing Cardamine smugglers you wont be sympathetic with Outcasts for very long, especially if you do it right on their doorsteps (to understand why, I recommend reading the Outcast laws and lore. Outcasts want to -encourage- Cardamine trade. Having a bunch of pirates right outside of their core systems "taxing" leaving Cardamine traders will -discourage- Cardamine traders to do exactly that -> Outcasts not happy -> Your faction turns red to Outcasts via FR5)

-Having different diplomacy with IMG within the same faction is wonky. Decide if you want to be friendly to them or not. In general IMG doesn't like Cardamine and thus doesn't like factions, who have to do with it, trying to circumvent that by using subtags wont work, if your "lawful" divison carries Cardamine and your "unlawful" divison acts hostile towards IMG to begin with, since they still belong to the same faction.

-I think your base in Tau 37 was just recently destroyed - by Outcasts. I might be wrong, but I believe that was your base(?).

-Calling Outcast space -your- home turf is also not very healthy, especially if you plan to behave like it was yours.

That's it for now, I guess.

Edit: Also what Santa Troll below me said.

Random piece of advice, get to know how the RP of the server works before trying to create a faction and join one or two prexisting factions as well if you want to try and create a faction to learn how this stuff works.

Had a read of this but with alternate universes and then I saw space marine and that completely switched me off. Read some rp here and get a feel for it first before jumping into your own faction. I also saw zoner and outcast id, you need to choose one or the other.

/ooc i actually got that from a the Blue Lotus outcast guild that used to inhabit omicron-alpha from the history of the system wiki....

honestly i was just trying to roleplay out a temporary organization that fits n00b like actions as I navigate FL disco vast experience and one that fits with my guild experience for over 20 years with {DaRk}Clan tags and coming from the void server and not understanding all the dynamics of FL disco 4.87 (you would probablly need a doctorate to understand its faction lore as a whole based on my current research. To be honest.... I expect my little project here to fail but gain me enough attention to vouch for me as an asset to an official faction so that I might have a more full immersion into Discovery and become an asset to said faction. Whilest I research lore, hone my skills, refresh my trade route/commodity knowledge, navigate my n00biness with disco rules and factions, I am just trying to announce my existence and RP value.

if thats OK?

Also on Void server I was in a [TRiAD] Outcast Faction who resided in Omicron-Alpha so it feels like home turf and my characters have proper faction rep for above stated RP...even if it is a little unconventional, just designed to cover my experiemental tracks for the moment

the space marine thing was a joke only because my {DaRk} tags dates back to quake 2 - glo0m mod... Just trying mesh my online history with my temporary characters on this server for fun and introduction.

Sorry If I offend

Official factions are usually open to accepting inexperienced players as long as you show you are willing to learn. Factions make it easier to learn as well as members can answer questions. Its up to you what you wanna do, just giving advice. If you ever need some help with lore you can always add me on skype and I can help where I can.

you wut? are you zoners? are you outcasts? are you zoner terrorists/pirates? dont expect to last long.

ID: Outcasts
Rank: Per Deim Transporter
Characteristics: fat, sloppy lewd and recluse, speaks with a Dublin mariner's accent
Directive: Supply [D4Rk] organizational assets by trading lawfully with Zoners, IMG and GMG
Ship: Zoners Whale Transport
Tag: [D4Rk]Mammon-LED
Banner ID: [img][/img]

So i see you mention an OC ID'd zoner whale. if that actually appears, expect to atomized/vaporized/disintegrated should that ship ever appear in front of [TAZ] in baffin. we take tech theft very seriously.
your idea definitely fits within noobish actions that tend to occur. relevant points you really should consider are above.
You can definitely RP in a capacity, which is a good start.

My skype is in my profile if you have any questions, especially about zoners and zonerdom.

I appreciate the advise...

I also was really just introduce [D4Rk] as a historical faction from another server and introduce and display my banners for my characters I am currently using. To be honest the idea of Organized Outcast Military is an odd concept to me based on past FL experiences. I didnt want to RP 'Freelancer Bob' for my learning experience with discovery and just did what felt natural regarding faction descriptions, locations, and past experience while i experiment with the discovery mod.

Besides ppl are acting like they never transferred credits between their own characters from different factions... I just wanted to RP out what I was up to

Ya that whale with OC ID was just a typo as you guys were posting while i was constructing the post... Zoner ID

Well I guess that [D4Rk] met an early demise. You have to give me some credit for my accomplishments in 5 days or so back on the server solo... I guess homeless [D4Rk] pilots will wander around faction-less unti they find a home....

See Ya Space Cowboy...

Im startin to see where my mistake was.... I guess i cannot have characters tagged [D4Rk] that fly zoner ID if my faction is outcast... Apparently you can have characters in multiple faction, who possibly covertly fund others.

My other mistake was not comminicating with existing official factions first to see where i might fit in without offense.

In the future I will be wiser

Many of the mechanics of gameplay exist outside the RP element of the universe. If you /givecash to one of your other ships, it never happened as far as the inRP story is concerned. In-game credits mean very little in the scheme of the RP.

You COULD have characters covertly funding each other within the RP, but if they are of IDs that clash you generally need a good reason for it. Using multiple IDs to get around the rules is a matter of great debate, but many in the community see it as a form of metagaming. If you have needs that you can't fulfill with a single ID, often it is a good idea to reach out to factions that have an ID that will fill that gap.

For instance, perhaps you can choose to use either the Outcast ID and look for a faction of Zoner sympathizers to hold up the rest of the RP, or vice-versa.
