Faction Annoucement: Blue Lotus Syndicate

[Praetyre]

Interestingly, I was originally planning to create a Hogosha faction named Kokuryu before coming up with the Blue Lotus Syndicate. As you'll notice, the description says that the BLS runs the majority of Outcast cardamine shipping in Kusari, hence the name. It's a sector wide faction with a strong base in one area, much like the Sirius Federation.

The name itself is derived from a Herge comic called Tintin and the Blue Lotus. It is the second part in a saga where the hero, Tintin, tracks down the leader of a cigar and drug smuggling ring, who is revealed near the very end of the Blue Lotus as Tintin's supposed friend, film producer and Greek shipping magnate Roberto Rastapopolous, who seems to be unknown in identity to all but his direct underlings. The latter part is mostly set in the end of the gangs business trail, in the opium dens of Japan. Kusari is known to have a major terrorist organization addicted to Outcast cardamine and even the anti drug Blood Dragons have made alliances with both the GC and Outcasts. So Kusari makes sense as a base of operations in terms of inspiration, and in terms of addict numbers.

I look forward to RPing with you too. Hope a few BLS Dromedaries can get into a few wild chases involving a few Titans and a few lawfuls. At least.
