"We did not choose to be cast out, we did not choose to be second class citizens, we did not choose to fight those that decided we had done wrong, we did not choose to hide amongst the criminals and outlaws, we did not choose our situation.. But nonetheless we will choose to fight for our heritage, for our freedom, for our people and common home. We are descendants of the Scandinavian countries, rich in knowledge and in spirit. We will once again be strong, for we are the Aesir Alliance and none, not the Kanzler and his puppets, not the scavanging Hispaniads, no one will stand in the way of our return!"
-Thorulf Svensson, Aesir's last commander in Chief
The Aesir Alliance once where called the Aesir Initiative and was a political movement back in 775 A.S, it was a front for a workers union made for those that has a Scandinavian heritage. Swedish, Danish, Icelandish, Norwegian and Finnish, all of which had come to Sirius onboard the Rheinland Sleepership.
It was a civil union, with little to no outspoken violence towards the Government and the Kanzler, but what started as a peaceful political movement that only wanted to make sure it's members had guarantees and help if work became stale or harder to find, became a violent struggle for survival.
Several among the movement where rightwing, they believed that in order for the people to have it better a change in leadership within the Rheinland government itself needed to change, so they began to openly demonstrate against the Kanzler and the government. This later turned into more violence, the demonstrators started with violence towards police and military personell, sabotages and ending with the destruction of a Military transport carrying soldiers.
The Political group where classified as terrorists, and that is when the majority of the movement became members of the Red Hessians, freely joining their movement to support their own. Most of the members where within the ranks of the Hessians themselves, seeing the goals of the Hessians as their own, making no difference in name or ranking system as their new found allies and family.
That changed when Thorulf Svensson, a captain within the Hessians began to gather the descendants of the Aesir movement and gathered them into a alternative fraktion of the Red Hessians themselves, he nicknamed it, "The Aesir Alliance" and it quickly grew in numbers.
Acting according the other Red Hessians the major difference between the two where the militaristic eviroment the Alliance brought with it, making little to no effort in pirating but instead concentrated on gaining allies within the civilian movements in Rheinland and concentrating their military forces in combatting the Rheinland military.
Whilst the Red hessian army is compromised off all sorts of people from pirates to the stalwart revolutionary, the Alliance is compromised of disciplined warriors and commanders.
Today the Alliance holds fewer members then the Red Hessians, which is understanding and not suprising since the Alliance holds only descendants of Scandinavian families, but they continue to grow as new members join each day.
Until recently no ships have been seen carrying the IFF of the Alliance, but that changed as they only a few months ago began active assaults against the Rheinland military. Relying on fighters and bombers to soften the defences of the military and having the bulk of the capital fleet crush the enemy fleets, their tactics have proven effective even against the trained Rheinland Military.
Today, the Aesir Alliance work out of omegas and hits rheinland targets when they can.
Organisation
The High command
Commanding the military forces of the Alliance is the cabinett of admirals and the Commander in Chief along with the head of research of the 'Sleipnir Foundation' (Further on this in the 'Valhalla' part of the document). These organise and command the entire Alliance, how ever the head of research can only recomend and not order the alliance navy to do anything and vice versa.
'Vanir' Intelligence
The 'Vanir' intelligence office is the information & intelligence gathering unit of the Alliance, it's responsibility involves a series of spies across Sirius and or especially in Rheinland. Their only real offensive capabilities are the 'Jotun' black ops wing, specialized bombers and fighters to take out targets which are seen as important or dangerous to the Alliance.
Alliance Navy 'Einherjar'
The navy of the Alliance is well organized and extremely disciplined in the art of war, compromised of ex Rheinland military officers or personell and also guerilla trained 'terrorists' of the Red hessians. Most common usage of craft is the fighters and bombers of the red hessians, but the navy operate few gunboats for Anti-fighter support in large skirmishes.
The 'Vidar' cruiser is used by the HC personell as command centres and heavy support, but some as the famous 'Fenrir' cruiser is used as a assault ship along with the normal navy.
Sleipnir Foundation
The Sleipnir Foundation exists as a nonprofit organization focused on researching new and beneficial advances and lobbying the ruling parties of the Red Hessian Army in order to best serve the interests of the Aesir Alliance. The Foundation however exists outside of the Alliance military and holds no sway over military decisions.

Ok so....except the fact that you are Scandinavians you're also "military" structured like RHA, I would rather see pissed off miners pirating the hell out of Rheinland.
I see not much change except you avoid piracy to shoot RM. But since RHA pirates only in their omega (from what I have seen), and very rarely and mostly just log in to shoot the hell out of RM and such, I really don't see this will bring anything new.
You think if he d like to join the RHA, he would have created a own faction?:rolleyes:
at OP:
mixing up the german red hessians and the scandinavian stuff is an interesting idea, however i honestly have problems to remember the names 10 sec after i read it. :wacko:
But im sure if you make your way and establish the faction, ppl will get used to it.
Well I for one think that if he likes the Rheinland Unlawful RP, be it Hessian or any other, and he doesnt want to join the existing factions, he has every right to try and make something himself.
I read the OP, and it looks good. I understand that you wont be concentrated on piracy but more on striking at military targets. Might I ask then how you will get the funds for your ships, if you never pirate (inRP ofc)? Oh, another thing that I would find thrilling is if you would use a lot of Odins to strike at your foes, instead of bigger capital ships.
Furthermore, I think that if you are going to try and further develop this, the story about your beginning and origin could use more depth.
That would be all I guess, go ahead and we will see how this develops. Good luck.

Development is still.. Developing?
Seriously though, im working on a more.. In-Depth story and some clarifications on multiple points.
And one point I can answer: Resources? Where do we get them?
The Sleipnir Foundation (Also handled by Turkish) is a front and has smaller companies under it that parts of their income goes to finance the Alliance.
More on this to come! (:

Some import from some freelancer-unrelated tv-series, i guess.
No sir I am not, I had no association with that group.
This is an idea that has been circling in my mind for quite some time.
