I worked on this idea for a long while now and I think I can finally bring the "Alpha" story/diplomacy/roleplay to the forum. Any positive feedback is welcome as well as any hints for mistakes I need to fix.
If you'd like to know more just contact me or post here. However I am not yet going to open anything like a recruitment thread. First I want to finalize the idea with some feedback from the community.
Pirate (I checked all the IDs at least three times and didn't find any other one that would fit except for the terrorist ID which isn't given out openly.)
[color=#333333]Used vessels:
For the start nothing but snubs (LF, HF, VHF, BMB, FR) and transports
[color=#333333]Affiliation:
[color=#CC0000]At war: Bretonian military, police and companies
Unfriendly: Ronin, BHG, Mollys, GRN, GRP ,gallic cooperations, any direct supporters of Bretonia
Neutral: Civilians that do not belong to Bretonian companies, anyone else not mentioned above or below
Friendly: Hogosha, Mollys, Gaians
Allied: Noone (This point will have to be developed ingame and on the forums)
Background:
A group of former militaries that left the KNF when the new goverment seized all hostilities towards Gallia and Bretonia.
They couldn't let go of the hatred they developed against Bretonia during the long war. So they abandoned their ranks and formed a group of their own in order to carry on the fight against the Bretonian house.
[color=#333333]Gameplay:
They attack only Bretonian military, police, cooperations and those who try to stop them from doing so. Pirating or attacking any other players except in self defense is a no-go
Hoshi No Senshi members believe into personal honor.
[color=#333333]Detailed affiliation:
[color=#CC0000]At war:
Any vessel belonging to the BAF, BPA or cooperations like Bowex, BMM, Gateway and Planetform is considered a hostile target.
Unfriendly:
They share the opinion that the old emperor "lost his face" when he formed the Ronin (which are by Igiss' lore bound to support Bretonia)
They do not consider the Ronin as hostile. But they will shoot them if they support a Bretonian target that gets atacked by the Hoshi No Senshi.
As they fought Gallia before they left the KNF, the hns members will not trust any gallic vessels they come across.
Neutral:
Every neutral vessel is not considered a target and will not be fired upon except in self defense or if it directly supports any Bretonian vessel in a fight.
Their stand towards most of the "new" Kusari gouverment is neutral as well. They simply left the area. But I expect Kusari to act unfriendly against them as (from the "Kusari" point of view) they deserted their duties.
Friendly:
They still see themselves as Kusarians so they will be eager to not misstread any Kusarian civilians.
The Hogoshas are people the Hoshi No Senshi members talked to and knew before they left the KNF.
The Gaians also fight against the Bretonian gouverment, again for their own goals. The Hoshi No Senshi fight the same enemy.
Allied:
I will try to ally with the Hogosha. Gaians might be interesting as well.
As I said any constructive feedback is welcome. And in case you find grammar mistakes feel free to point them out.

Antibretonia terrorist faction that is ex KNF, but not loyal to either the Emperor or the new Kusari government? Bit implausible... Why not make them a pirate wing of the Ronin? Kinda Privateerish.
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.
Mostly retired Discovery member. May still visit from time to time.
@Azrael Domonov: I am not yet sure how to treat Gallia. Lorewise the hns members fought Gallia before they left the KNF. However, they mainly fight Bretonia as the war against Gallia didn't last that long. Diplomacy with that house will have to be developed ingame I guess. But adding them to "unfriendly" would make sense. Thank you for your feedback.
@Altejago: Thanks for pointing it out. Already fixed.
I do not know enough about the Rogues as I try to avoid Lolberty. Why could it fit the rp of the hns to trade with them?
@Echo 7-7: The actual objective is to weaken Bretonia and fight the people they fought for years. As said above all hns members have a couple things in common. That includes a hatred for Bretonia which they developed over the years.
@Aeternus Doleo: Why does it sound implausable?
Also making them a privateer wing of the Ronin is an idea I don't like, for such a faction already exists with the QCP and I do not like to copy other people's ideas. The idea about the hns was that they form the "counterpart" of the Ronin, even though they have a lot less members inRP and no capships so far.
Thanks everyone. I will "improve" the idea with some of what has been said so far.

@Coin: Neutral for now. Depending on what happens ingame the diplomacy might change.

I don't know how it may fit. We are a bunch of rag-tag pirates who plunder and pillage and drink a lot.
Probably against the things you stand for. But when you share enemies, friends come from the weirdest of places.
