Battlegroup Tarrafal - Information

[Battlegroup Tarrafal]

---

Battlegroup Tarrafal is a group of Zoners and their allies that do not wish to give up Freeport 2 just that easily. With the financial support of various smaller groups and the licenses to make use of the technology of the Zoner Community, the battlegroup's goals are the following:

- Scouting the general situation in Bering
- Finding supporters and groups opposing the current occupants of Freeport 2
- Reclaiming Freeport 2 by any means necessary, preferably without bloodshed
- Surviving

Zoners are known for a rather defensive and often mistakenly called pacifistic approach of things. Remaining neutral at all cost, in this case, costed them Freeport 2. This caused an unrest within the Zoner Community. Some groups and individuals wished to deal with this while others simply acknowledged the fact that Freeport 2 would sooner or later fall into the hands of the scummy inhabitants of the Bering system, and Victoria Knight's Battlegroup Harmony.

The command of Battlegroup Harmony is currently facing a difficult situation. On one hand, they are used to deal with things the Zoner way. Bargaining here, a compromise there. While the upper ranks of the Tarrafal wish nothing more than ending this peacefully, some units of this loose battlegroup are infuriated, full of hate for Jimmy The Rat and those he let enter the Freeport to his own profit.

Generally, the Battlegroup deals carefully with anyone they encounter in Bering. The Battlegroup however can only speak for itself, while other, allied Zoners might have their own plans on acting in Bering and the surrounding systems. With other words, the Battlegroup will treat anything neutral at first. Other Zoners, or Zoner Militants might not. Nomads and equally chaotic evil threats however will not fool anyone in Bering.

Battlegroup Tarrafal was equipped and escorted with various assets. The group uses all kinds of civilian ships as well as the border world shiplines and of course the Zoner technology shipline. Apart from a good amount of diverse snubcraft, the Battlegroup uses open-market gunboats like the Condor, the Montante, the Kusari Explorer but also the Zoner Conference-Class Gunboat and the Fearless-class Destroyer.

- The Fearless-Class Destroyer can be purchased at Livadia Shipyard in Omicron Kappa or at Pueblo Bonito in the Baffin system for 158.000.000 Credits.

- The Conference-Class Gunboat can be purchased at Freeport 14 in Alberta or Shasta Orbital Skyhook in Baffin for 30.000.076 Credits.

- Carrier Tarrafal does not sell any ships but sells snub-equipment of the Edge World-, Zoner- and Civilian Tech-Line, including the Hades Pulse Cannon. It also sells Armor Upgrades up to Heavy Armor Upgrade VI, better armor upgrades need to be purchased at Livadia Shipyard in Omicron Kappa or Pueblo Bonito in Baffin.

We are not operating as typical faction, hence this is not posted in the unofficial faction sub-forum. You want to fight stuff in Bering? Get the ID from Tarrafal and get going! "Battlegroup Tarrafal" will cover the RP aspects on forum and eventually ingame as well, however as it seems most of this is already set in stone, as we are already rephacked hostile to anything living in Bering, implying we have to fight them.

Depending of how this dev-experiment works, this may or may not turn into a classic unofficial faction. With that being said, good luck out there in Bering and surrounding system!
