Faction Annoucement: Blue Lotus Syndicate

[Praetyre]

The Blue Lotus Syndicate
Tag: [BLS]-
Description: The Blue Lotus Syndicate is the well organized, ruthless and merciless smuggling ring headed by Outcast Don and chief smuggler Roberto Rastapopoulous. The organization represents nearly all of Outcast Cardamine trade in Kusari space, and is a sizable stakeholder in other areas of Sirius. The leadership of the Syndicate is kept secret from all but high ranking members, with the leader normally referred to as The Grand Master and appearing as merely a shadowy, voice disguised entity on comms, as Rastapopoulous is also a respected shipping magnate and famed film producer, who has even throughout his life maintained personal friendships with numerous heads of state.

The Syndicate, however, has angered the GMG because of the smuggling it conducts in its territory, and thus relations with the GMG are strained. The organizations goals are simple; The acquisition of money, the total domination of cardamine markets, and the enslavement of House citizens for purposes of blackmailing them into granting recognition to a dominant Hispanian state.
