Faction name: Das Wilde ID: The Wild ID Faction Tag: Wilde.
Due to the widespread infection across all of the colonies, there are a number of subgroups, so do not wonder if you encounter a variety of different ships and even more different characters. Not every Wild is going to act as the mean alien from your nightmares, some might just try to trick you…
General Overview
The term ‘Wild’ applies to every nomad infected human within the colonies. They are supposed to be a part of the Nomads collective consciousness, the mindshare, using their disguise to gain information or spread fear and distrust within the human society. While they do belong to the mindshare, scientists also assume that they follow their own plans and tactics to achieve largely unknown goals.
From the outside, there is little to no difference between the Wild and normal humans. After a time of familiarization, the Incubus is able to control its host well enough to avoid any suspicion. Leading scientists also speculate that some hosts are willing servants of the Incubus, a fact that might allow the Incubus to let the human act on its own, further decreasing the risk of detection. It appears to be noteworthy that every attempt at removal of an Incubus has resulted in the death of both the Incubus and the human host while leaving little to no valuable traces of the infection behind.
The Wild are capable of speaking and acting as far as their human vocal cords allow, limited also by genetic accent and physiology. They appear to be capable of fluently speaking all human languages due to extensive knowledge of such languages in the Nomad psychic collective. The Wild do not possess a primary language, due to being part of the Nomad Mindshare and the ease of communication offered by it, they only have to transmit pure feelings not filtered through the refinery of knowledge. Through the advanced understanding of human psychology the Nomads possess, the Wild also have been able to masterfully manipulate numerous uninfected humans into doing their bidding.
Covert Wild do not often advertise their nature to humans, for obvious reasons. They typically communicate as mysterious shadowy figures or infiltrate criminal organizations such as they did with the Red Hessians or the Bundschuh in the past. They are masters in using their disguise to accomplish their goals.
There have been a few traces of covert Wild activity after the Nomad War, however, none of these instances have been definitively linked to Wild operations. The more notable activities have been dealings with ALG's shipping division for unknown reasons, possibly for those of biological warfare. The Wild also appeared to be involved in battles around the Heavens Gate base in Kusari and the short war between Bretonia and Rheinland in the Omega systems.
Due to their access to the Mindshare and the accumulated knowledge within it, Wild are capable of expertly hacking computer systems at a level unparalleled even by Lane Hackers. This appears to allow them to create their own credits, making overall financial standing among humans merely a matter of plausibility and monetary value.
Even though Wilds are connected to the mindshare, different psychical traits could be examined. While some do rely on covert actions, others will simply resort to brute force to achieve their goals. It is largely unknown if or how this relates to the human host's personality. A basic differentiation appears to lead to four different types:
Patrollers
This group is known for their brute force approach, they will attack possible targets whenever encountered and will not attempt to hide their true nature. As such they may be considered the most aggressive and dangerous one. The highest risk for an encounter with this group appears to be given in the Omega or Sigma systems.
Hunters
This group is known for ambushes, they will usually not attack their targets openly, but rather set traps or carry out their deadly craft when the target is alone and does not expect an attack. Due to this group's careful approach, it is hard to find them, as they will only show their face whenever they can be certain to accomplish their goal.
Civilian
This group is consists of Wilds posing as figures of public life, such as politicians or company personnel. It is to be assumed that this group leaves their host's large amounts of freedom and only influences their minds when necessary, to lead possible decisions into the direction the collective needs. As such the ways of identifying civilian Wilds are very limited.
Militarian
This group consists of Wilds posing as Military or Secret Service members, they use the chain of command to spread the infection and to influence decisions. As seen in the times of the Nomad war, these Wilds have managed to adapt to military structures in a masterful way and thus are extremely hard to identify.
Former Grosseadmiral Ernst von Scheck (670-804, possessed 800) was the key to the Nomad infestation of Rheinland.
Through him, they managed to infect the Kanzler himself.
Medical Explanation of the Infection Process:
The source of the nomad incubi, in the state that might be referred to as a seed, is a nomad tissue produced by grown up nomad incubies. It is brought into the host body by a mouth to mouth infection. There are two different parts of the seed that can be distinguished - the cover which is made by human-like epithelium, and the core consisting of pure nomad tissue of unknown composition. The “seed” passes through the esophagus to the stomach, where the capsule gets digested by the gastric juices. The nomad tissue on the inside is acid resistant and passes to the duodenum. On its passage through the bowel, the nomad tissue is absorbed into the nearby human host tissue by mechanisms we yet have to understand.
As with all non-human materials within a human body, the nomad tissue provokes a strong immune system reaction, and the infected may feel sick and lose consciousness. At first, particles of the nomad tissue are released. Their mobility is increased by cytokines which induce their movement. The cells released from the nomad tissue then move towards the closest blood vessels. Their advance through human tissue is assured by the synthesis of proteolytic enzymes. After a relatively short period of time, the nomad cells are getting into the blood system. They leave the circulatory system shortly after, minimizing the risk of being destroyed by the macrophages and lymphocytes of the host's immune system, just like most bacteria would. In a very similar fashion to human metastases, the nomad cells are captured mainly within the liver and lungs. Through the venous circulation, the nomad tissue grows and is transported to the heart and brain. This is a very fast process, often happening within a few hours of infection, usually, but certainly not always while the infected is still unconscious.
After the infection has spread to the spine, the person should be called a Wild, as anything that once made it human is about to disappear. Upon its arrival at the spine, most of the nomad cells reproduce and expand along the central nervous system, heading towards the brain stem. This process usually takes not much more than one or two hours, depending on the host’s physique. Once the Nomad tissue reaches the brain stem, the host’s body is fully controlled by the nomad tissue which infects most parts of the host’s ‘control centers’. The goal of the infection is to gain complete control of the body as swiftly as possible. Once said control has been gained, all other physiological functions are modified to accept the nomad tissue. Through this time the host is vulnerable to infections and all kinds of disease as its whole immune system is being adapted to accept the Nomad cells as the body’s own.
The growth and spread of nomad tissue from the seed is assured by its genetic code, but total control of the body can be only acquired once the nomad tissue inside the host is connected to the mindshare. This usually happens after the bodily functions have been largely adapted to the Incubus’ needs. Once the connection to the mindshare has been established the body is fully controlled by the nomads, with no chance to return to its previous, human state. However, the infected is not able to use its full potential as the nomad tissue is required to expand through many other important parts of the body in order to achieve a perfect coordination of the human’s abilities. This process usually takes a few days, up to a few weeks.

Known local groups
Das Wilde:
The first contact:
Around 350 A.S. the Rheinland government ordered an expedition to the far desolated Omicron systems, they ventured into a system later known as Omicron Major. The expedition group was known as Aufklärtrupp Omikron and consisted of a small Wraith strike wing with five ships and one Gunboat. The task was simple, search for further valuable resources and possibly hostile entities in the very far Omicrons, but the mission didn't go as planned. They stumbled upon a panet hidden in a dark cloud, one that was unlike everything they had ever seen. On the first glance, it seemed to be completely abandoned, with traces of valuables all over its surface. They attempted a reconnaissance mission on the planet's surface, even though it was extremely dangerous as the planets atmosphere did not show any traces of oxygen. They had to use the oxygen supplies they had with them on their very own ships, a high risk when it was not known for how long they would be gone and how much would be left for the way back home. This, combined with the naivety to believe they were all alone and safe from any attackers, posed as the main reason this operation was doomed before it even started.
Eventually they managed to access the planet's surface without any losses, it was a deserted world without any inhabitants as it seemed, yet, something strange seemed to come from the planet, as one of the expedition officers said, it seemed like the planet was yet showing some sort of energy output, as if its core would be more active than the ones humans were familiar with, something they thought to be a new kind of energy source. They decided to send probes through the surface, as energy measures showed that there was some kind of activity going on below them, how that would be possible was not known to them, but their curiosity was too strong to resist.
Below them, they found something that nobody ever would have seen before, a massive superstructure not too far under the planet’s surface, it didn't look human, and no human would have been able to manage to build something that gigantic below a planet's surface. The whole inside was carved out, the surface only served as a protection for anything that would attempt to attack those who inhabited it. The core of the planet was still covered so its heat and energy would not kill the ones living down there, instead of that, it seemed to be used as an energy resource, massive constructions had ties to the core, no other explanation would have served right here. They were definitely not alone, they knew they were in danger, yet, the looks of the structure were too beautiful for the humans to just let it stay with a few looks, they wanted to see more.
They attempted to make their into the structure, using the drilling equipment they had, to open a passage. However, as soon as they were inside, the structure reconstructed itself behind them, locking them inside. As it turned out, they were not alone, they had discovered an until then, dormant Nomad hive, whose inhabitants were awakened by the intruders.
The infiltration:
The expedition crew was not left alive by the nomads as a matter of mercy, they used them for their own purpose. It was not possible that those were the only humans capable of hurting them or discovering their homes, there had to be more, that was for certain. How could the nomads find out more about the humans though? About their colonies and about how many existed. As Nomad evolution went further, there were Nomad shapes, capable to interfacing with human cells, which caused the expedition crew to be the first humans ever infected by the nomads.
The infected rest of the expedition returned to Rheinland, reporting no further incidents and only minor findings without any importance for the Empire. That was the first step for the nomads to infiltrate the colonies, with the knowledge gained from minds of the infected humans and their connection to the mindshare, they quickly learned more about them and how they would be able to defeat them, to extinguish the humans from their territory, they would all have to die, and to accomplish that, the nomads would know to use the humans themselves. It was supposed to be the ultimate weapon, the humans didn't know about what happened in the faraway Omicrons and thus would not be able to defend themselves for what the future held for them.
The nomads quickly learned how militaristic the humans were, capable of seeing a number of warships and weapons they already developed, it was for sure that the humans nature would not take any kind of attack without a response. Of course, the nomads themselves were not different in this case, but they knew how to use the humans weakness for their own goals.
The Nomad war 800 A.S.:
After the nomads had successfully infiltrated large parts of the Rheinland Military together with even Kanzler Niemann himself, they were ready to start their attack on the rest of the colonies, starting off with Liberty. The president of Liberty, Barbara Jacobi, was the most powerful woman in the colony and thus the ideal target for the nomads. Admiral Schultzky of the Rheinwehr was sent out onboard of the RNC-Donau for a meeting with president Jacobi. The cruiser was guarded by a small wing of infected Rheinwehr ships. The whole operation failed as a squadron of Order ships broke through Manhattan's security systems and launched torpedos towards the Donau, which killed Schultzky in the process.

Another step was the offensive against Bretonia, although the house was on alert, it was not yet aware of the nomads. A scientist named Kendra Sinclair was leading a laboratory on Planet Sprague in the Omega-3 system which is bordering Bretonia and Rheinland and might have held traces of Nomad origin. An infected group of Rheinland ships was sent out to destroy this laboratory to ensure that the work about the nomads would be stopped before anything valuable could be found. The laboratory was, just like the nomad supercomplex in the Omicrons many years ago, under the Planet's surface, where it seemed to be well hidden. The Rheinwehr found out about the location on Sprague and followed the Freelancer Edison Trent and LSF Commander Jun'Ko Zane who were on their way to the exact location of the laboratory. The Rheinwehr bombs were able to destroy the complex before anything of value could be recovered.

After this successful operation, the next jump for the Rheinwehr was Kusari, as formerly trusted ally, it was supposed to be an easy target. The close connection to both of the houses made it easy for Rheinland to deploy a fleet to the Sigma-13 system that was strong enough to attack Kusari's front lines. The RNC Jormungand was the flagship of the initial Rheinland fleet that was deployed to Kusari. Accompanied by numerous cruisers, gunboats and several squadrons of infected Rheinwehr fighters, it was destined to steamroll through Honshu. However, an ambush, that consisted of Blood Dragon ships that wanted to bring the Freelancer Edison Trent to Rheinland where he was supposed to meet a man named Von Claussen, was able to stop the attack, stalling the inevitable advance of Rheinland that would occur later. It was one of the single largest engagements of the war, and the beginning of the end for the infested Rheinwehr.

The nomads used the advantage of being able to strengthen their own fleet by using the human territory now. The Westerwald cloud in the Frankfurt system was the perfect location for this, as anything that would be constructed within the cloud would be well hidden from a strangers eyes. Soldiers of the infected Rheinwehr began constructing a large shipyard in this cloud where the deadly Marduk guardians would be developed for the nomads in addition to the ones that would be created in their own homeworld. This shipyard was later destroyed by Bundschuh strike wing, in a long and cruel battle.
After the war:
After the Dyson Sphere was destroyed by Order forces in the Omicron Major system, the nomads retreated further away from the humans. Rheinland, as the most affected house by the nomad influence, tasked the Marinenachrichtendienst to actively hunt all remaining infected soldiers within the Rheinwehr, the purge of those soldiers was successful to an extent, but could not be completed successfully. The few pilots that managed to escape the hunt, escaped to the southern Omega regions where they slowly would rebuild their force and frequently attack bypassing vessels that did not know about this threat or did not expect it. The Rheinland branch of infested Wilds gave itself the name Das Wilde. They are slowly rebuilding their forces, by infecting valuable assets and gathering useful materials whenever they are given chances.
It is unknown where the Wilde are based. In recent months the Bretonians have come under increased pressure from Wilde ships entering Cambridge, supposedly searching for an artifact of great power. Speculations on their location exist among analysts and conspiracy theorists alike, and reach from a nest near Liberty to places in the uncharted systems in the Sigmas. Regardless of their base, however, das Wilde remain a deadly threat to the safety and security of the Federal Republic of House Rheinland just as much as to all humans within the colonies. Some even blame the miscommunication and tensions between Liberty and Rheinland or the shot war between Rheinland and Bretonia on the actions of covert Wilde agents.
The Division Nine:
789-800 A.S.
Division 9 was created in 789 A.S to explore unknown systems for Humanity, particularly systems code-named “The Omicrons”. The secondary goal of the Division was to defend the Alaska system and the scientists which were researching Artifacts from the Omicrons and any non-LSF or Navy personnel. The founder’s name of 9th is still unknown as they are using call signs only. In the early 790’s, the division explored a large amount of previously unknown systems, almost all of which were deserted, however, this gave the 9th an idea. It was decided to build a new home in the Omicrons, as the routes were known only to them and several other LSF Agents. Unfortunately, they didn't know how dangerous the Omicrons could be, or what was living there.
Division 9 wanted to make an expedition into the Omicrons in order to find a suitable place for their new base they were planning on constructing. They wanted to establish their installation in the Omicrons because the Omicrons gave Division 9 a foothold and a staging ground for their expeditions. Not only did they have a staging ground, but Agents would feel much more relaxed because they have their own base to operate from, rather than traveling to and from Liberty Systems and braving a dangerous route. But the Liberty Government had disliked their idea about the Installation for some time so they decided to abandon Division 9 and all government funding was cut. In 796, Division 9 prepared a few armored transports with materials, construction platforms and departed from Liberty to Omicrons.
In one system that was deserted by all appearances, Division 9 found a nice location for their installation; they planned to build it under an asteroid ring. However, the area was dangerous due to high levels of radiation all around the ring and a cold world was also close by.
Representatives from Division 9 attempted to travel down the planet to conduct a survey for resources and materials the construction of their new home-base. Often, they would reach the surface of the planet and find nothing at all. The planet was completely uninhabitable to human life and they were about to cancel all their operations until they stumbled across Iron and Titanium deposits which they used to produce the basic materials to build their new base. The Division spent two years in their attempt to finish the station, but when they did, they named it “Vancouver Research Complex”. It was also given the codename "Omicron X-10", after the systems that it was constructed in.

In the 800 A.S, The Liberty Government prepared its new project. Similar to “Vancouver”, Division 18 was moved to the system Omicron X-12, where they built a similar research complex named “Altair”. Any Civilian or low ranking personnel in the Navy had no idea of this base because it was classified. Only a few of the High ranking personnel in the Liberty Navy knew about the base. After they successful built the facility a small Nomad Patrol stumbled across the base and reported its location. The Nomads saw an opportunity to use both Division 18 and 9 by infecting them in order to infiltrate the Liberty Government, exactly as they did with some high-ranking officials within the Rheinland Government.
At this time, Nomads were only known by the Corsairs and the Outcasts, so both the divisions stood very little chance of fighting back the Nomad threat. Agents onboard both stations had very little time to prepare for a defense against the nomads due to the fact that little was known about who or what they were. Both Vancouver and Altair stations were attacked by the nomads who masterfully used the element of surprise to their advantage, the Nomads quickly overran both stations. Some of the researchers on board the stations caught on to what was happening, so they used several of the escape pods to evacuate the stations. Some of the lucky researchers that escaped quietly regrouped with Orillion and stole the new prototype battleship called the "Osiris” right out of its shipyard. After recent events, they lately called themselves "The Order" and started acting against both Nomads and infected forces that they could find.
In Alaska, the Nomad-infested Chancellor of Rheinland sought to infect the Liberty President, Jacobi. They knew that the Order had taken the experimental Osiris Class Battleship and had moved to Alaska. Division 9 was then called to defend the Rheinland Chancellor against the Order's attack. First of all, they had to find a solution to stop the "Osiris" from getting through unnoticed. With their knowledge of the capacities of the technologies that went into the "Osiris", Division 9 quickly developed a satellite that could detect cloaked ships in a small radius. Unfortunately, the Order was tipped off by an unlawful organization, known as the Liberty Rogues. The Rogues gave the Order intelligence on the new satellite so the Order could act to counter it.
Both Freelancer Edison Trent and ex-LSF Commander Jun’ko Zane were sent out to engage and destroy the satellite. At their disposal, they had a few ex-Navy servicemen and together they destroyed the satellite. Once the Satellite was destroyed, Trent, Juni and the rest of the force entered the Zone 21’s minefield, however, they were met by Division 9's own forces. A battle broke out in Alaska where both sides were fighting to gain the upper hand within the Alaska system. After hours of fighting went by the Order finally managed to gain the upper hand in the fight and took control of the Alaska Gate, managing to bring in the "Osiris" to help out both Divisions as well as the Nomads. Division 9 was forced to pull out, but shortly they returned and tried to retake the Alaska gate, however to no avail. A majority of Division 9 was wiped out in the ensuing fight which allowed the Order to escape with the President without her being harmed. Division 9 had taken serious hits to their forces with most of their pilots were taken out during the battle. After the LNS-Omaha was destroyed and Osiris cloaked away with the president while the rest of Division 9 headed back to Alaska after chasing down the Osiris.

Witness of the Zone 21’s battle said that Division 9 was equipped with specific, inhuman weapons. However, the Liberty Government closed their eyes to this and reported that it was nothing more than rumors. This is when the Government of Liberty finally decided to disband Division 9 and Vancouver was abandoned.

801 A.S.
Division 9 survivors who survived the battle at Zone 21 were quietly merged into either the Liberty Security Force or the Navy. All of whom continued to remain undercover with all traces and names were destroyed. Only a few politicians and high ranking Navy Personnel knew about ex-members of the Division Nine. All information about Vancouver and Altair was lost and old members of the Division returned to Omicron X-10, only to find that some parts of Vancouver flying around the asteroid ring, All information about Altair and Division 18 was presumed lost, however, Division 9 knew about them and they knew that Division 18 was still around.
820-821 A.S.
For 20 years the former members of Division 9 with the addition of several infected Order personnel worked undercover with the Division 18. Recently the Order moved their operations close to Liberty, this threatened both Division 9 and 18, as they want to preserve their anonymity. Over time the Rheinland front became quiet and war was looking likely between Liberty and Kusari. The ex-member of Division 9 known as “Red Rose” took the leadership of both the infected Order agents and the Division's survivors. Together they restored Division 9 and with their resurrection, they planned to provoke the war between the Houses of Liberty and Kusari.
The Order
During the Nomad War many Order agents became infected and tried to destroy The Order from the within. It was essential that the Nomads found other ways to hit the Order, hard, because the Nomads were facing a strong and powerful enemy who had a lot of assets and who knew the Nomads quite well. If the Nomads could hinder the Order, then the Nomads could gain the advantage and possibly win the war.
After the Nomad War, Infected Order forces tried to keep a low profile because the Order knew exactly who they were. With all the intelligence the Order managed to gain they started to track down and eradicate the remaining infected Order agents. When the Order started their work, they struck hard, giving no mercy towards the infected forces, no matter how much they begged. Over a short period of time, they quickly hunted down the Agents until they were all almost terminated. Over the next few weeks, the Omicrons became packed with the hunting Order agents. This made it extremely hard for the Infected personnel of the Order to escape the Omicrons. After desperate attempts at trying to leave the Omicrons, somehow they managed to escape back to Alaska. Once the Order Agents arrived in Alaska, Division 9 personnel helped them to hide because that they are infected units of The Order. With time the Order agents were slowly merged into Division 9, sharing Intel and trying to gain the upper hand. The Order Agents were a huge asset to the Division. They shared Intel on the Orders Tactics, ships, and future plans. This helped to boost the strength of Division 9. The Order Agents retained their old ships but now, with thanks to the LSF agents in Division 9, they were now upgraded with the latest Nomad-Human Hybrid technology. With these recent upgrades, they were sent back out into the Omicrons, flying covertly and gathering more information on the Order.

Present Days

The Liberty Government was unaware that Division 9 and several politicians were infected. These individuals sponsored Division 9 and aided them with Government Funding and backing. Division 9 personnel have been spread out around the Liberty core and border systems. It has been reported that Division 9 Personnel have been seen traveling around in the Kusari and Liberty Border Systems, endangering Civilian lives in order to make a profit for themselves. Often these agents would pirate traders and bring back the materials they have taken off them back to their hideouts, so they can prepare for projects that they are working on away from the eyes of the Liberty Government. Not many people know what has really happened to Division 9, however, those who do know are attempting their best to get them eradicated. They still believe that the Division is under Nomad Control and that they have proof to get rid of them, proof which was forwarded to the Liberty government. However, no matter what proof was brought forth Politicians that have been infected previously intercepted the materials and files passed along which caused the charges to quickly be dismissed.
These days Agents from the Division attempt to keep a low profile because they do not want to ruin their cover. Their covert nature is important to their survival; they are not seen in large groups, but rather by themselves or in pairs on small patrols. After a while civilians soon started to encounter the Division, with each encounter people started to realize that these weren't your normal LSF Agents. Their lack of emotion and their modified ships started to stand out more and more with each encounter. Eventually, the Division's secret was soon to be revealed. They could not keep it secret for long.
Iconic Capital Vessels In Use
The Wyoming
The "Wyoming", an old Liberty Assault Battlecruiser, was often used for defense of Virginia. However, if it was required, the Battlecruiser was used to defend planet Houston from the invading Rheinland forces. In 820 A.S it was attacked by several Rheinland Bombers, causing her to be severely damaged. The Virginia Guard Officers decided to recall the Wyoming to Juneau Shipyard, in Alaska, in order for repairs to be conducted. After the "Wyoming" was fully restored the engineers decided to upgrade it with new universal Scanners as well as new armor plating to try and prevent such massive damage from happening again. After all the modifications were finished the Virginia Guard Officers disowned the Wyoming due to a better replacement being found. For a few months, the Battlecruiser was used to defend Zone 21 from attacks until Division 9 returned to their duties. Once Red Rose and the rest of Division 9 returned she requested to take command of the "Wyoming". After permission was granted she turned it into the Division's flagship.
The Ottawa
The "Ottawa" is a Liberty Siege Cruiser Deployed in 795 A.S, before the Division’s expedition to Omicrons, It was designed to aid in the defense of the Alaska gate. In the early 800’s, The "Ottawa", along with several other Navy Capital Vessels, were sent out to prevent Trent and Juni from destroying the Satellite that was designed to reveal the cloaked "Osiris". By the time the Capital fleet reached Zone 21 both Trent and Juni managed to destroy the Satellite and kill the infected Rheinland Chancellor. The Capital fleet realized that they were too late and started to mount a blockade upon the New York gate from the Alaska side in order to prevent Trent and Juni’s escape. As the Fleet was setting up their blockade, Captain Walker and his cruiser wing started to attack the Blockade in an effort to break through. All the vessels blocking the gate received severe damage while the "Ottawa" fared the best. Its hull was still in one piece, but holes were scattered everywhere and every crew member, including the Ottawa's captain, died. After Division 9 was given the order to disband, the "Ottawa" was towed back to Juneau Shipyard for repairs. The engineers and mechanics at the shipyard managed to restore the ship and it was sent back out into active service. When Division 9 secretly reformed, they took the "Ottawa" into their own hands.
The Division Nine Black Division:
After Division 9 took root in Unknown for Humanity system placed somewhere in Independent worlds, Division 9 agents tried to keep staying conspired. Some of them act aggressively, some not. There are a lot of victims and witness that blame Division 9. Red Rose tried to do their best to keep the Division in her hands and not let it crash to pieces again, as it was in 800 A.S. during the Nomad War. Red Rose created a new project, named: “Black Division” - a group of best agents of Division 9 that keeps watching for Sirius and not letting Division 9 totally get blind; Black Division - Red Rose’s eyes, that are letting her see all and everything.
Black Division doesn’t act so aggressive as the other Nines. Mostly Black ones are hiding as much they can and never let to know about themselves. No one, except Red Rose and Black ones, doesn't know who leads the Black Division. Red Rose ordered to keep it in secret even for other agents of Division 9.
Under normal circumstances, the mere existence of an organization division such as the Black Division wouldn’t be necessary. Although the Division Nine has been a gathering of agents who have slowly begun to experiment with other methods of getting their way in Sirius space. The belief that things can be accomplished more efficiently working behind the scenes, rather than attempting to do things through force. Their main body of agents being recognizable by both certain groups who have had a few encounters with them before, as well as through conventional scanning methods. The Black Division was formed with full intends to avoid both issues. By not bringing attention to yourselves, you never were subjected to any scanning processes by the Order. By keeping your name hidden, there was no way to trace you back to who you really are.
Thus begins a different zone and operations usually not taken by groups such as the Division Nine, at least to the scale that is being attempted in this new sub-division. Secrecy, of course, is one of the prime goals. Any operation depends on the ability to keep low, and under the radar.
Agents are a task with various goals. Usually very generalized commands from the unknown leader of this subdivision. Specifics are almost always left out, as the goal is to gather information in a wide-scope, rather than targeting specific entities. One may be pointed towards a specific faction, and fall off the map for a few months. Only to return back to the surface later with a report, of becoming affiliated with a close enough relationship to extract any information which may be required to make operations easier for the Division Nine as a whole.

Technological Information
Due to the various host origins, Wilds can be seen utilizing a vast amount of human-made technology, possibly containing everything from Military grade vessels and weaponry down to 'harmless' civilian transports.
Additionally, the Wild have created a vast amount of deadly weaponry. Utilizing the knowledge gained from human-made weapons, and their own knowledge about Nomad energy sources and technology has allowed them to create destructive equipment, which until now can not be matched by anything human made.
The most noteworthy Wild weapon appears to be the ‘Scorpion’ Combat Drone, an unmanned vessel spreading death and destruction wherever it is seen. Even though scientists have tried to understand the way it works, they were only able to confirm the fact that this drone is made from organic tissue. They have been unable to interpret any data received from the few small pieces of tissue they could examine.
Recent studies claim to have found a connection between Wild activity within the Omega systems and the cataclysmic events that could be measured in this region with state of the art technology. The creators of these studies did not, however, find any definitive evidence to back up their speculations.

Due to the large ZOI, a number of subgroups will be made, as this seems to be a nice way to give people a chance to read about the Wild group in their region, as well as making things a bit more 'realistic' in terms of in-game and forum presence.
