Consensus Integrity Service
The latest times of the Zoner culture were filled with violence, danger and expulsion. Attacks on Freeports and innocents were just the beginning of the tragic banishment and hunt that is on going in Sirius.
Founded by the Consensus to secure the Zoner way of life, the Consensus Integrity Service is an agency formed to defend, preserve and improve the Zoner integrity, ideals, and society, not only to provide essential information to set up a safe and secret Zoner settlement. Currently located on the Carrier fleet "Transcendence", their current benefit stays their mobility. It's founding could not have come any sooner though. With the tensions rising with the Bretonian occupation within Omega-49 the Consensus struggled to match this new threat. Learning to adapt to this new situation the Consensus Integrity Service was created to use superior intelligence to undermine and overcome it's new and future adversaries. As Zoner's came to realize not everyone would respect their approach to neutrality in all things, they discovered that information could be used as a form of leverage. When applying this new form to general tactics and providing this "commodity" to their advantage, they found that not only could they keep a form of neutrality, but also help pressure or force it's threats into submission. Taking a page out of other intelligence agencies in Sirius, the CIS employs infiltration, spec ops, and pure intelligence gathering as its primary weapon. Being primarily a reconnaissance organization secrecy and a aggressive diplomacy are their greatest methods of action. Motivated by their belief, they'll make not only the Zoner life better, but all life.
The Canaan Project is a long-time known group of the Consensus founder Alessa Samson. Due to their artificial advancements they contain the elite of reseachers and scientists in their chosen fields of terraforming and computer sciences. The Canaan Project is currently the only known group that manages a constant peaceful contact towards the inhabitants of planet Gammu.
Med Force Enterprises is a health care and medical organisation in lead by Doc Holliday. It has good experience in exotic research and fields that most research groups won't touch.
The Temporary Autonomous Zoners are an interesting religious group of Zoner, who believe into a goddess names Eris. Their leader John Rackham and a lot members hold very good contacts within the Consensus and might be a potential candidate for participating in the Consensus.
The Ingenuus Research Group is one or maybe the elite, when it comes down to independent research. Some participants of the Consensus are still working there. An investment and collaboration are pretty much desired. Negotiations with the staff are in preparation.
Omicron Supply Industries are a very influential and rich Zoner organisation located in Omega-49. They are the main partner when it comes to transportation of supplies and goods.
The Confederation of Freeports is a Zoner collaboration with the purpose of improving the administration of Zoner assets. Their structure, approach and actions have governmental patterns and the Confederation is often involved (sometimes by force) into local politics with results which by times affect the Zoner community as a whole.
Over the years the Corsairs and Zoner have had a positive and cooperative relation. Usually the Consensus gladly helps the Corsairs in their need for food and humanitarian aid.
The Outcasts are a special case human society. Genetically altered by years of Cardamine influence, they are a society that the Consensus sees in need for humanitarian aid, but also being subject for genetic research.
The Order is used to be a long-time ally of the Zoners, but latest event resulted into some deterioration of the relation. As Core and Order are strong enemies both are currently trying to use Zoner as a tool for their interests.
Not much is known about the Sirius Coalition Expeditionary Corps. However they appear as an ally of the Order. Their political form of communism is propably of historical interest that may result into a contact of the Edgeworld University.
The Core is an aggressive imperialistic military group located in the Omicron. Their attitude and approach are beyond any caring mind. However as same aggressive they are as same instable they are. Any encounter with them could be different and dangerous.
The Nomads are usually are misunderstood alien species that feels invaded by humanity. This results into often aggressive contacts by them. The Consensus strongly avoids being a part of this conflict and searches to find ways for a peaceful coexistence.
After multiple tries to gain peace, the BAF has started the invasion of Omega-49.
Leadership
The CIS has no formal structure of leadership, rather a Director followed by agents. All agents have full autonomy to act as they see fit, as long as they do not compromise their belief, identity or intentions. With each agent limited within his own sphere of information, should they be captured, them having limited information ensures that the opponent does not learn anything incriminating. With secrecy being the key only agents not undercover will be provided. Agents being captured is rare as agents are known to be ruthless since they are not trained they are recruited. CIS intel is high sought after Zoner’s are mainly neutral they are often contracted out by both parties to spy on each other. This becomes both lucrative and tips the control of these disputes into their hands.
