The Bundschuh are a radical reformist political organization declared an enemy of the state by the Rheinland government. A loosely organized confederation of dissident tendencies ranging from progressive to far-leftist, it has substantial support from Rheinland's underclasses and intelligensia alike. The Bundschuh were briefly legalised in the aftermath of the Rheinland Civil War, however this uneasy armistice quickly collapsed as promised reforms failed to pass.

Rumors

Wichter Station
  • This is an important station for us, since they have the facilities and personnel to service our larger ships. We can work on our snubcraft well enough at our bases, but if our transports or gunships need repairs, we bring them to Wichter. The police isn't paid well enough to patrol this far out, so ALG doesn't have to worry about getting in trouble for letting us dock.


  • ALG isn't like the other big Rheinland corps. They believe in democracy in Rheinland, and were willing to go to war for it. Our ships fought the monarchists side-by-side in the civil war, and our pilots celebrated victories and lamented our losses together. The new government might be more democratic than what the monarchists wanted, but we are in no way willing to accept their rule, and it doesn't seem like ALG will be regaining their good standing either. Maybe we will end up fighting together again.


Kreuzberg Depot
  • We are here to obtain Tobacco and Consumer Goods for our base in Frankfurt. The Bundschuh are not common criminals like the rabble you see here. We are dedicated to overthrowing the government and restoring justice to Rheinland.


  • We are always looking for other factions to join our cause. I'm afraid we've lost the Red Hessians, although we hold out hope for the Unioners and LWB, who have not entirely fallen into a mode of indiscriminate piracy.


  • The Bundschuh were instrumental in bringing about the Popular Revolution. We ensured that the Workers Convention of Rights was ratified by the Rheinland government in 705. Unfortunately, its terms were never honored by the Rheinland corporations, so little has changed.


Bruchsal Base
  • After the revolution, the Bundschuh found itself sidelined by the new government. The coalition wanted the support of the wealthy aristocrats who headed Daumann Industries and Kruger Mining. By 715 AS, the Bundschuh was forced to go underground again, this time by a government it had helped to create.


  • Our base is located in the Taunus Asteroid field of Frankfurt. Within the same cloud is a Jump Hole to Sigma 13. Nearby is another Jump Hole that leads to Hamburg. In Hamburg there is the Vierlande Prison Station, the Westfallen battleship, and the Berlin Jump Gate. These are all priority Bundschuh targets.


  • The Bundschuh need not lower itself to common piracy like the Red Hessians. Instead, we are funded by the enlightened Berlin intelligentsia looking to do away with the burdens of a corrupt government. This frees us to work directly toward our political agenda without being sidetracked by financial necessities.


  • The Bundschuh recruits new members from the Red Hessians, LWB, Unioners, and even disgruntled Daumann and Kruger workers. But the people we take in must care about our cause, because they won't get rich flying for us.


  • Because we have taken the high road, and not one of piracy like the Red Hessians, our ranks have dwindled. But the members of the Bundschuh are purists, committed to a political agenda -- unlike other underground organizations.


  • In 700 AS, the Dresden Revolt sparked the Popular Revolution that would do away with the Rheinland Imperial Government and replace it with a coalition of the people. The Bundschuh was a key player in the Dresden Revolt, running supplies to the rebels.


  • Those who go to Vierlande seldom return; most sentences are for life, and it's not just pirates, but the political opponents of the corporate elite as well. The Bundschuh fly attack raids on the prison ships and inbound convoys. We fight to liberate our brethren who have been unjustly incarcerated.


  • The corporations, though exploitive and uncaring, aren't truly at fault for what they do. Corporations are intrinsically self-serving; it's the government's role to keep them in check. As long as the government is corrupt enough to accept corporate bribes, the workers cannot be free.


  • The Bundschuh is a political organization founded by New Berlin university students who were tired of the corruption of the old regime. Decades later we still toil under the yoke of an oppressive government, though its name has changed.


  • We get everything we need from the Junkers. Either we go into the Border Worlds to Yanagi, or to New Berlin, where we will find the Kreuzberg Base.


Vogtland Base
  • This system is useful to the LWB only as a place from which we can be resupplied by the Red Hessians. Dresden is anathema to anyone who ever farmed land or lived in a place of beauty. The less time I spend here, the better.


  • The Hessians do business with the Junkers in New Berlin for Engine Components and Side Arms. Then we do business with the Red Hessians here. We require the same things to remain a thorn in the side of Synth Foods and the traitorous ALG.


  • We take basic supplies from this base to our home base Darmstadt, in Stuttgart. I am reminded why I must fight for my system when I come to this place of poison sulfurous clouds.
