The beginnings of Bristol can be tracked back to the namegiving construction of the installation in late 824. Giving jobs to the civilians of the Separatists, displaced Zoners and other assorted independent workers from the Independent worlds, primarily Bering. Over time the installation allowed a proper company to form and take over most parts while the Separatists distanced themselves from it more and more. In May 826 then finally the administration of all but the stations small police force was given over to Bristol Constructions and Manufacturing. The company had properly named and founded itself earlier that year. Bristol has since grown as a force within the system, surviving the various outlaws and cleansing of Liberty's Concord battlegroup. With salvaging operations under control and piracy activity dying down, Bristol has been looking to expand in the Independent Worlds, maintaining installations in Pennsylvania and Cortez now.
While still maintaining moderately close ties to the Insurgency, the company and its installations are fully independent,. The company and base are the hope for the future of the civilian populace.
Having gathered experience and further personnel over the year, Bristol is capable of building some tools, simple vessels(typically from salvaged parts) and installations and satellites. A small group of repair vessels is well capable of repairing any allies vessels.
Major Goals include:
• Establishing a mining colony on Planet Hallam
• Growing a mining fleet
• Establishing security
• Supporting Liberty's containment to house space
Gameplay
Bristol would fall into the quasi-lawful category. They have a zoner pioneer attitude in that they settle in the unregulated independent worlds and maintain fairly open ports. As a company interested in profit, they do face opposition in form of pirates and competitors. Their salvaging operations put them at odds with the Junkers. They developed into versatile miners slowly from mere salvaging.
Bristol's lawful operations include:
• Helium mining in Pennsylvania
• Pristine Ice mining in Cortez
• Repairs
• Supply convoys(See semi-regular convoy events)
• Base constructions and maintenance
• Surveying and explorations
• Building a mining colony on Planet Hallam
Bristol's unlawful operations include:
• Supplying unlawfuls(Outcasts for example)
• Building installations for unlawfuls
• Secretly supporting the Insurgency and other forces keeping houses out of the IWs
• Allowing criminals to dock in the IWs
Bristol was initially supposed to be a mere mini faction to properly represent the civilian Separatists. The reason was that the military wouldn't directly control the salvaging and civilians that are with them now. Since then it grew into its own thing entirely with the Separatist origins seen only in the history of faction and base and in there maximum reputation with the Separatist forces.
Main operations ingame currently are: base supplies, minor supply contracts and base building. We also do trading, exploration rp and hopefully eventually mining.
In combat they're rarely seen and if present they bring repair vessels to support allies or paying friendlies.

If that's hostile, no-dock, or belligerent, sieges are about to happen. We currently have a serious problem where we don't know what our rep is with the Separatists and it seems to change impulsively.
If not, they won't happen.
