With Crete’s ever growing power, major families that were once powerful and glorious crumbled while others rose to the seat of power. There were those who seeked more power to expand the Corsair Empire and relieve it from its food shortage. Such were the Castille and Cordoba, two major families who took the first step into creating a single banner to unite the Corsair families and a council comprised of each family head that wished to join, they were called the Apostatas.
Rumors of the Apostatas spread like wildfire on Crete and several minor families that sought fame and wealth offered their help. Their reason for forming has not been confirmed by anyone, some believe that the current Corsair state of relying largely on foreign entities to supply them with basic goods was considered outrageous by many, others say they banded together to create a powerful fleet to conquer new regions for the Empire. One thing was clear, Apostatas was paving a new way for the Corsairs. To achieve their aspiring goals they used diplomacy, money, a powerful fleet and organized logistics. The Apostatas believe that the Corsairs are more than just simple pirates and raiders. To build a more powerful and self-sustaining Empire they had to evolve beyond the simple thinking that the Corsairs had become complacent with. With this in mind the council of Apostatas decided to find more Allies and trade partners within Sirius, as they knew having so many enemies was costing resources, man power and opportunities. But this new way of behaviour and thinking was not easy, as the aggressive nature of the Corsairs had been there for generation and was showing clearly in the ranks of Apostatas. With time, most in the Apostatas learned and adapted to the more complex way of thinking. Once this occurred the council found themself in a precarious position. They had realized that the society of the Corsairs had stagnated to a fatal point and that it would lead to a social collapse within the Empire itself. With such a frightening prospect, the Apostatas council decided to strive towards a new goal.... Modernization of the Corsairs.
This new vision that the Apostatas was working towards would take time, resources and allies.
One House in particular always had favour with Apostatas. Kusari. The Kusarians were the only ones that might lean towards peace. The War with Bretonia had set the Empire and the Kusarians on the same side. But when the war ended and the Emperor exiled, the Empire was once more on unfriendly terms with the Kusari Government. The Apostatas however believes that there is a chance for proper peace to be had between the two nations.
The war with Bretonia once again put the Empire on the same side of a new stronger house. However the council of Apostatas has yet to decide on how they stand towards them. The houses within Sirius had become enemies of the Empire through centuries of war, raids and pirating. With hard work and patience, one day the houses of Sirius would recognize the Corsair Empire as a house in its own right. But until that day and opportunity would arise, the Apostatas had many enemies to deal with and resources that needed acquiring. So peace between the Empire and the other houses had to wait.
With the wealth of the joining families, the Apostatas were able to acquire a sizable fleet rather quickly. Thus enabling the Apostatas to trade with allies and smuggle necessary goods and equipment back. Food for the people of Crete was always a priority and Apostatas made sure that the stores would always have food. But the constant supply of food lead to cargo holds of food, instead of equipment and supplies. The council realized that to enable the Empire and Apostatas to grow, they had to have food grown locally. But growing food on Crete would once again add costs and supplies on Apostatas. The council now had to decide whether to push on Cambridge even more...or get allies to assist with the growth on Crete.
The leadership of Apostatas is made up of the council, which consists mostly of the more powerful families and individuals within Apostatas. They organize everything from supplies down to the very conquest of new territories, however the elder of Apostatas is the mightier form of power within, as he is the ones who will give the orders to execute any plans.
825 A.S Current day
One main course of action revolves around the Omegas and Bretonia, due to the Gallic invasion of Bretonia and the all-out war, the neighbouring house is vulnerable and the conquer of planet Cambridge that will serve as the Empire’s primary food source is not out of the question. The recent capture of Antikythera Shipyard had placed the CoE and Brotherhood under pressure to maintain and supply a extra shipyard. This was a opportunity that the Council of Apostatas took and requested administration rights from The Council of Elders. With the shipyard firmly under Apostatas, it enables them to operate less under the radar of the CoE and places them in a position to expand their fleet. While Apostatas stands as the front line against the Coalition due to sharing Cayman with their hostile neighbours, Apostatas would want to grow their power despite having to fight off frequent enemies near their home.
Apostatas irregular behavior has somewhat sparked some unwanted dislike from their hermanos...despite this happening their numbers has continued to grow, showing that there are those who wish to see a different future.
Current operations to the public eye is mostly in line with what The Brotherhood and CoE wants and demands. But behind the scenes their true agenda is being progressed. What this would lead to is yet to be seen...Only thing certain is that the Apostatas is not transparent to their hermanos on what truly is going on. Should they be discovered it could lead to an unwanted war.
The Apostatas is a progressive faction that wants to modernize the Corsairs. This includes but is not limited to gaining knowledge, development and social growth. They believe this can only be done by breaking away from a criminal life and gaining support from Lawful and Quasilawful Organizations. Apostatas believe themselves to be more Civilized and better composed then their Corsairs counterparts.
