Crime Boss of the Liberty Rogues it’s been reported that he’s never been seen by any outside the Rogues. Well he has been now. I’ve seen him and talked to him and I can tell you one thing for sure, this guy is a few hull plates short of a starflier. Sylpheed cropped up with the DPL, he came with them and insinuated himself into the Rogues higher echelons, when Valdar went away, he took the top spot and now he won’t relinquish it. The timing of Sylpheeds arrival and Reynolds death isn’t a coincidence. It was Sylpheed who arranged for the protest to be hit and it was Sylpheed who organised the DPL, of course this would require Sylpheed to have contacts in the Navy, which he did have up until recently anyway. The Admiral responsible for having Reynolds demobbed was the same guy bribed to send out a black ops team to smash this convoy. These coincidences just keep stacking up.

Andrew Mort
Soon after Sylpheed’s sudden disappearance, however, his second in command, a young man named Andrew took over the leadership of the Rogues and DPL. Rumors tell that he is a schizophrenic, constantly changing his way of speech and how he acts around both his friends and his enemies. He is told to be an ex worker of the West Point academy docking crew, oddly enough, considering he was found clipping off his own mother’s head inch by inch with a toeclipper, when he was five and was sentenced to correctional, but the information on how he actually joined Sylpheed’s side remains twisted. Andrew Mort is still slowly gaining power over the time he leads his friends on their daily routes in Liberty, but he has yet to earn the respect that of Sylpheed.

Ashes "Nighthawk" Yotaka*
Originally from Planet Kyushu in Kusari, Ashes left behind her bleak fate to seek the freedom Liberty promised. She joined with the Liberty Rogues in order to fulfill this dream through hard work. Ashes' first friend with in the Rogues was Draya Kirillov, who was a new recruit around the same time Ashes joined. The two dubbed themselves the "Cali Girls" and fly matching "Doomsday" Barghests. While not exactly an Ace pilot, Ashes has gained a small reputation of being one of the “unkillable” Rogues. She has eluded certain death from overwhelming odds countless times in the past.
Ashes spent much time befriending and forging links with the 'higher ups' of the Liberty Rogues, and when Andrew Mort took over she was chosen to take the position of Underboss. Ashes has been sighted in space less often as of late, and instead dedicates most of her time to helping run the Liberty Rogues behind the scenes and working as a mechanic on Alcatraz. She is even responsible for several of the recent improvements in the design of the Rogues’ trademark ship; the Greyhound. Originally joining the Liberty Rogues seeking freedom, Ashes is slowly losing sight of her goal, and her humanity.

Danny White
Easily recogniseable by his notorious cough, Danny White is part of the second generation of Sylpheed's Liberty Rogues. He gained trust with Mort and Yotaka through dedication to the Liberty Rogues, and became the Captain of the second ever Liberty Rogue Slave Liner to be commissioned, the Big Sexy Beast. After Andrew Mort took leave, Danny White stepped into the role of acting Crime Boss until he returned. Today, Danny White is the Underboss in charge of the Liberty Rogues' smuggling wing, the Cult of Contraband.

Eva Jones
One of the new and up-coming Liberty Rogues, Eva Jones is narcissistic and from the beginning she was notably arrogant and disliked, but quickly proved her worth on the battlefield. Eva Jones inherited the Gunboat of Ex-Underboss Ashes Yotaka, the Heart Of Gold, and uses it with deadly precision to create chaos all over Liberty. Eva Jones quickly gained the trust of Sylpheed and rose through the ranks to Underboss in record timing. Very little is known about Eva Jones, except that she handles her ships and hand weapons with military finesse and takes pain medication for a limp in her right leg.

Moka
Moka rose to power within the ranks of the Liberty Rogues fairly quickly. He fell almost as quickly being overthrown by the Underboss Clyde Johnson. He took this in his stride and created a seperate entity; the Padua Liberty Rogues. The two groups Coincided in relative peace for the most part with the PLR claiming Northern Liberty, later expanding into Kusari. Moka was best known for bringing the Unnatural Disaster to life - a working version of the 'Another Fine Product From The Nonsense Factory'.

Version 1.1
RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ROGUES
After the rise and fall of many groups of Rogues, most notably the Liberty Rogues, Tori took it upon herself to take what she had learned as her time of being underboss in both the Liberty Rogues, and the Padua Liberty Rogues to form a small crime syndicate. Using her knowledge of what would make them successful, she employed those she trusted with the intention of forming a notable force in Liberty once again.
Tori knew she needed to have a group of loyal Rogues before anything could come to fruition. This would be the hard part. While there were many rumours of Moka’s whereabouts – many of which stated he had fled Liberty, or died – she knew not many of the remaining Rogues would be willing to follow her. After all she was only young; and a woman at that. To eliminate this problem, she needed support. Her first port of call was a man named Marcus Vale. While Tori did not know much about Marcus, she knew he was loyal. His experience as an underboss in the Padua Liberty Rogues would prove to be valuable. Due to his previous experience, Marcus would be given then rank of Consigliere – the advisor and political analyst of the group. His knowledge would be something she called on often. The two met in a bar to further discuss the offer and for her to ensure he was on side.
While basing temporarily off Fortaleza Base in Humboldt. From here Tori sent a transmission out available for all Rogues. This was met with a variety of responces. The larger - already established groups - were happy to see her back with this plan, willing to offer support as it was required. The individual pilots were not as open to this idea, accusing her of political speeches and suggesting the Lane Hackers to be a better fit. Despite having the support from Marcus and a few additional Rogues who had been more than happy to join her, she began to wonder if this was, in fact, a good idea. These thoughts did not stay long after hearing from an old friend;
Tori was happy to discover that not only was he on her side; but he also had a number of loyal pilots willing to follow him, as well as being able to assist in resolving the Sirius Rogues problems with a station to base out of; and the means to fund this. She later learnt this was due to a deal he had made with the Junker Congress for the return of the Arbiter - James Trenton. Addic's only stipulation was to be allowed to use the Color Rogue patch as his secondary, Tori was more than willing to agree to this. A combination of the support he was able to offer and their previous relations led her to appoint him the role of Vice President in the Sirius Rogues.
Tori also knew that while having a safe place to call home was important, getting on side with the Junkers was also a priority to secure their future with the Outcasts. With the establishment of Carolina Outpost as a staging area for the Sirius Rogue forces, Puerto Rico can now be considered home. The Junkers had dominated the cardimine trade in Liberty for some time, and it was a concern many Rogue Crime Boss’ and Warlords ha prior to the Sirius Rogues. While the Junkers had been distributing cardimine throughout Liberty, the Rogues were all but an expendable force to them. The Sirius Rogues knew that; they also knew it was time for the Sirius Rogues to establish their own economy. Eventually a deal would need to be made with the Junkers of Puerto Rico, known as Junker Congress. First, these Junkers would need to see a show of force, not just to put them under thumb, but to force them to recognize the Rogues as power in Puerto Rico.
Once they had a secure home and number of pilots on board, the Sirius Rogues intend to contact other known allies and friends to re-establish relations, re-open trade opportunities and capitalize on black market ventures, primarily counterfeit software and the cardamine-slave trade to bolster their income. This was one thing had remained true to previous Rogue groups, they did not consider themselves to be pirates. While they were largely unorganized in their dealings in organized crime, they saw themselves to have more class than that of the traditional pirates in across Sirius.
When not providing support, or moving cardamine and other assorted (usually illegal or black market) goods, the Rogues can often be found in one of two places. Usually they can be found taxing ships for passing through ‘their’ space in Liberty, failure to comply would usually be the pilots final mistake as the Sirius Rogues, just as many Rogues before them, have access to a more deadly - if not advanced - arsenal than most would expect. If not here, they can be found socialising (usually drunk and/or high) in any number of bars they have access to.
Some time after the establishment of the Sirius Rogues Tori disappeared. Her current whereabouts are unknown. In order to keep the group focused on their goals Addic stepped up to the position of President. His natural leadership abilities and unrelenting hatred of the Liberty Government made him perfect for the position. Under Addic's leadership the Sirius Rogues maintain a razor sharp focus on their ultimate goal.
Just as the Padua Liberty Rogues had sucessfully expanded their influence into Kusari space, the Sirius Rogues wanted to expand out of Liberty. While this is a particularly important part in the Sirius Rogues, keeping to true Rogue tradition not much thought has gone into how this will be achieved as of yet.
It is expected this will be a very long term goal as establishment in Liberty is of a higher priority.

Continue the fight against the corrupt Liberty Government
Secondary Goals:
Build Relations with Liberty Unlawfuls

One of the only factions who do actial RP with Scyllas (RP, NOT PURE 2MILORDAI)
Good luck! I hope the silent engagers stay as far far away from SR as they have for so long - seems to be a problem as soon as officialdom happens, but you seem to know what you're doing so i suspect that won't be a problem
My biggest concern/complaint is that the goals of the group pretty much ignores the inherent limits that are meant to be of the Liberty Rogues in favor of some trans-Sirian syndicate of some kind, if I understand correctly. Now believe me, I love me some long term goals, but I believe that this is such a drastic take on the Rogues that it becomes a bit, well, immersion breaking to me. Then again, I had to deal with similar concepts in the past, such as the Légions des Damnés in Gallia on the Brigand side, and those were pretty negative experiences to begin with, so my view probably is biased.
I understand that the Rogues do have some interest outside of Liberty as well as an actual presence outside of it, but, Iunno, I'm all for exploiting every RP route, but I'm also one that truly favors allowing everyone to bloom within their own House. I'm hoping the plan is not to kill opportunities of other factions in other Houses, or to end up replacing middlemen organisations and whatnot.
The long term goal of is not to have a ZOI all over Sirius. Our main focus will remain in Liberty. In order to build our own economy to fund the fight against Liberty we need to rely on connections outside of Liberty. The best example I can give would be factions like Mollys (who share the same tech). Expanding influence into areas where our Allies operate to create some form of Rogue/Unlawful industry is central to our RP. Having a ZOI in Kusari and Coronado is a great step in the right direction. Coronado gives us a good solid route to the Outcasts, while Shikoku gives us access to the BD and GC. While we haven't had the opportunity to interact with BD or GC we would certainly like to do so. Bering and Hudson give us access to the Unioners. The next step (should we become official) would be access to Hamburg. Not exclusively for piracy, but further cooperation with Unioners. Everything we do is to gain an advantage over Liberty Government, whether it is in the form of firepower, economic, or diplomatic. Our goal isn't to pirate all over Sirius. The Sirius part of Sirius Rogues does not necessarily denote piracy across Sirius, but some form of influence/presence in areas that can benefit the Rogues fight against Liberty. I hope this alleviates some of the concern over the faction.
