==Synopsis==
For quite a while now, Corse have had connections with Gallic Brigands and, to a lesser extent, with the [[Council]] and [[Maquis]]. Despite their close, often personal ties with [[Brigands]], Unione Corse don't fully trust other pirate groups much and sometimes deal with them only out of necessity, in rare cases acting as bounty hunters and taking out the most dangerous pirates by request of their government protectors or corporate sponsors.

More recently, the Unione Corse decided to branch out of Gallic Space. This was done to further their influence and as a precaution against the possibility of the Gallic Military treating them as just another group of unlawfuls. The Corse first came to an intelligence agreement with [[Order]] [[Task Force 141]], due to increasing concerns about [[Nomad]] influence in [[Gallia]]. Shortly after that, the Unione Corse began diplomatic relations with the [[Colonial Republic]], and formed a secret alliance. The Corse have also work well together with the [[Independent Miners Guild]]. It is rumored in addition to those that the Corse are working out trade deals with various other [[Sirian]] groups.

==History==
'''''Long-Term History'''''
+
An organization that has been around for centuries; in the shadows, out in the light, their operations not entirely known to all but a few. Rumored to have been started in the early second century [[AGS]], they were formed by and since then led by those with connections.
 +
 
 +
Initially, they had no qualms with the laws set by the Gallic Crown. They funded explorations that led further into the Gallic Sector and helped to establish trade between the various young worlds. Eventually, as the government put more and more restrictions into place, the Corse were forced into maintaining their now less legal business along with those still legal.
 +
 
 +
During the [[First Gallic War]], many of the Unione Corse (still disgruntled by the Crown's inconvenient new laws) sided with the [[Normandie]] rebels. This was not a wise, nor successful move. A great many were arrested by the [[Gallic Royal Police | Royal Police]], and their control over the markets, black or not, was severely weakened. However, the police were having problems of their own. One such problem was a man named Timothy [[LaBrise]], who led a small group of people that splintered from the GRP. His and his group managed to join the Corse, yet maintain a degree of autonomy from the rest.
 +
 
 +
Between the wars, other factions came to be more significant, such as the Gallic Brigands. The Unione Corse were able, for the most part, to have good relations with all.
 +
 
 +
This changed when some treacherous, greedy Junkers sold out bits of information on the Unione's darker operations to the Gallic Police. Bourbon Base, owned by the Gallic Junkers, was seized by the LaBrise as revenge. Everyone on board that station was murdered, and surprisingly, there was no further retaliation from the [[Gallic Junkers | Junkers]]. Instead, they built a new base in Burgundy. A bigger one; a better one.
 +
 
 +
Later on, when the [[Second Gallic War]] began, the Unione Corse were far more discreet about which side they favored. As a result, both sides treated the Corse with suspicion. Nevertheless, the Unione Corse delivered prototypes of the [[GRN]]'s mine-neutralizing devices to the Maquis, which were then recreated in sufficient numbers by the Council. From there, these devices were used to clear that narrow path into the Lorraine minefield.
 +
 
 +
Around this time, many concerns arose over the lack of unity and loyalty among the Corse, which proved true when an internal conflict between LaBrise and Orsini's Corse came about. LaBrise worked with the Gallic Crown, whereas Orsini led his forces openly against it. During this war, the leader of LaBrise was mysteriously murdered about when [[Orsini]] himself disappeared. At the end of the struggle, LaBrise were no more. In fact, most of the Unione Corse was no more.
 +
 
 +
Led by a man who joined under a pseudonym a few years prior, the Unione Corse slowly got back to its feet. The General restructured the balance of power, giving the families some control whilst keeping their politics separate from the main ranks. Quietly establishing its influence, the Corse branched more out of Gallia. And even though the Unione Corse were sure to keep work against the Gallic Crown secret, Sirian connections also serve as a safe-guard if they marked them as enemies.
 +
 
 +
Today, the Corse have been able to establish many relations outside of Gallia, presenting themselves as a mostly lawful group that is eagerly willing to smuggle commodities and information to its allies.
  
Specific origins of the Unione Corse are hard to trace. However, it was, and still is, formed by those who have connections.
 
Initially the Corse were an organization which financed and supplied various other organizations. However, they became more unlawful when the Gallic government began increasing its regulations. This resulted in increased tensions, as the Unione Corse began to rely on sumggling.
 
  
During the [[First Gallic War]], the Corse were severely weakened. Leadership was unstable, and the group had many small splits. Many members were arrested. Internal strife was caused by a group of former [[Gallic Royal Police]] who joined the Corse. They formed a sub-group within the Unione Corse, known as [[LaBrise]].
+
==Command Structure==
 +
===''Armed Division Rankings''===
 +
Most authority within the Unione Corse rests in this division, or more specifically the Armed Command. While similar in many ways to a large corporation's paramilitary by responding to the Famille Senat for its actions, this branch effectively leads the Corse altogether.
 +
* '''General:''' Leads the Unione Corse. Out of character, this is the faction leader. [Limit 1]
  
Between the wars, other groups arose in Gallia, such as the Gallic Brigands. Relations were going well with all, until some Junkers sold out the Corse to the Gallic Police. LaBrise attacked Bourbon Base, and murdered everyone onboard as revenge. There was no further retaliation, which came as a surprise.
+
* '''Commandant:''' High ranking Membres, leaders when the General is not present. Out of character, they are the official second in command, who are dedicated to the faction and understand the roleplay very well. [Limit 2]
  
The Corse have been more careful during Second Gallic War, leaving little evidence that they favor the Council over the Crown. Even so, supporting their allies proved most useful to their interests. In addition, the Unione Corse have begun to open up diplomatic relations outside of Gallia, seeking help from those with common goals and striking deals with corporations to bring in more profit.
+
* '''Parrain:''' The head of domestic matters. See Famille Senat. Out of character, this is a forum-crazy individual who understands Corse roleplay very well and is the lowest High/Armed Command rank. [Limit 1]
  
 +
* '''Lieutenant:''' Senior membre. Out of character, this rank only exists to provide a leader in combat situations where High Command members are absent. [Limit 5]
  
'''''Unione Corse Divide'''''
+
* '''Membre:''' Ordinary Corsican. Out of character, this should be the standard rank. [No limit]
  
In late 817, the LaBrise attempted to take over the main group of the Unione Corse. LaBrise, led by Aurèlie LaBrise (aka, La Veuve Noire), demanded that the Corse disband and become part of LaBrise. The main Corse group, lead by Joel Orsrini, refused to submit to La Veuve Noire. The fighting gradually built up, but for a while neither group came out on top. After half a year of fighting, LaBrise gained control of the majority of the Corse bases, but Osrini's forces still refused to submit. Oddly enough, Joel Osrini himself had disappeared.
+
* '''Aspirant:''' Recruit Membre. Out-of-character, someone who needs to log a few hours here and there and show that they understand the basic concepts of the faction. [No limit]
  
Months into his absence, the Unione Corse found a new man to lead them against the LaBrise, Casimir Logarus. He previously held a low rank, and wasn't the best fighter pilot. But he was a tactician. His plan was to sneak through the Taus and Outcast territory with most of their forces to stage a rear assault against Thionville. The rest of their forces were left in Argenton, as it was expected that most LaBrise were preparing to attack there from Epernon. The undefended Thionville was taken with little difficulty, and the surprise defeat knocked the LaBrise off guard.
 
  
The Unione Corse forces split up for attacks on the bases in Champagne and Burgundy. While Bourbon was sieged by Logarus, the Joinville assault was led under the command of Zechs Marquise. The Marquise were a small Unione Corse family looking to prove themselves, and this was their chance. Joinville was a quick battle, but not a decisive one. The LaBrise knew they were coming, and surrounded their forces in an ambush. It was a Phyrric victory for the Corse, winning through sheer numbers. Afterwards, Marquise thought it best to not move on and consolidate his forces.
+
===''Famille Senat Title System''===
 +
The Senat is a large body comprised mainly of civilians which holds the Corsican families together. It allows each of the several hundred families to have their own say whilst generally keeping them all in line. Aside from unity, the main focus of this group is on Corse domestic and financial matters, such as base maintenance and front company management. Even though their overall power is somewhat limited, it is nevertheless an important group which brings Unione to Corse.
 +
* '''Parrain:''' Directs the Famille Senat, reporting to it regularly in order to account for his decisions. [Limit 1]
  
The Siege of Boubron lasted a day and a half. After that, the LaBrise rushed all of their fighters at Logarus' forces in an attempt of despiration. Not long into the battle, Logarus' gunship, the Trajan was heavily damaged and it crashed into Bourbon Base. Logarus was recovered by the LaBrise, and held captive aboard Bourbon. Meanwhile, the Corse were winning outside. So the LaBrise offered Casimir a deal. In return for their surrender, he was to let all of the Freres, Soeurs, and Etrangers (lowest ranks) go free. La Veuve Noire was already dead -- a mysterious death that took place about the time that Osrini disappeared...
+
* '''Tribun:''' The five Tribuns are elected by the Senateurs to oversee the Senat and work with the Parrain. Should a Parrain leave or be dismissed, the Tribuns will appoint a new one. Outside the Senat meetings, they hold closed sessions to discuss matters privately. The Tribuns can also remove anyone in the Corse from their position should four of them agree to it. Out of character, these people understand UC's roleplay well and are advisors to the faction leader as a sort of mid-command. [Limit 5]
  
The fighting ended there, in early 819. Logarus remained leader of the Unione Corse, and Zechs Marquise was instated as the new Parrain. Logarus restructred the chain of command, and added minor changes to the code. He gave the supporting family, the Marquise, less power in the military but kept them at the head of domestic affairs. To unify the other families, a Famille Senat was formed, which is led by the current Parrain.
+
* '''Senateur:''' A head family membre, one of several hundred in the Famille Senat. A family's power in the Senat depends on their size, wealth, and history. A family gets a seat for every four membres, and as a sign of respect, those with great wealth or history vote first. Out of character, this is a simple rank that can be chosen by any Membre who wants the additional roleplay. [No limit]
  
As for the rest of the LaBrise? With their leader dead and their lowest ranks given amnesty, that left the Paternels and Maternels. Some were banished to Sirius, others locked away at Glieze Depot, and a few were given as tokens to appease the Gallic Royal Police.
+
* '''None:''' A membre who is either without a Corsican family, has been chosen not to represent their family, or holds the rank of General or Commandant. [No limit]
  
Joel Osrini was never seen again, but he left the Unione Corse his adoptive son, Jason Osrini, who remains a member today.

Table of contents

The Unione Corse is a highly organized criminal group that follows traditions of the Corsican mafia of Earth, known for strict secrecy among its members, and access to nearly limitless resources, including support of high-ranked government officials.


Synopsis

For some time now, Corse have had close connections with Gallic Brigands, Maquis and, to a lesser extent, with the Council. Despite their close, often personal ties with Brigands, Unione Corse don't fully trust other pirate groups much and sometimes deal with them only out of necessity, in rare cases acting as bounty hunters and taking out the most dangerous pirates by request of their government protectors or corporate sponsors.

As for the Council, they have a weakened relationship since various Corse groups provide for a general unreliability in relations. The Maquis get along well with the Unione Corse, even though their methods are very different.

More recently, the Unione Corse decided to branch out of Gallic Space. This was done to further their influence and as a precaution against the possibility of the Gallic Military treating them as just another group of unlawfuls. The Corse first came to an intelligence agreement with Order Task Force 141, due to increasing concerns about Nomad influence in Gallia. Shortly after that, the Unione Corse began diplomatic relations with the Colonial Republic, and formed a secret alliance. The Corse have also work well together with the Independent Miners Guild. It is rumored in addition to those that the Corse are working out trade deals with various other Sirian groups.

The Unione Corse tends to keep its diplomatic relations fairly secret to all but its close friends and allies. They use their position to operate on both sides of the coin, helping the Gallic Military when they see fit.


History

An organization that has been around for centuries; in the shadows, out in the light, their operations not entirely known to all but a few. Rumored to have been started in the early second century AGS, they were formed by and since then led by those with connections.

Initially, they had no qualms with the laws set by the Gallic Crown. They funded explorations that led further into the Gallic Sector and helped to establish trade between the various young worlds. Eventually, as the government put more and more restrictions into place, the Corse were forced into maintaining their now less legal business along with those still legal.

During the First Gallic War, many of the Unione Corse (still disgruntled by the Crown's inconvenient new laws) sided with the Normandie rebels. This was not a wise, nor successful move. A great many were arrested by the Royal Police, and their control over the markets, black or not, was severely weakened. However, the police were having problems of their own. One such problem was a man named Timothy LaBrise, who led a small group of people that splintered from the GRP. His and his group managed to join the Corse, yet maintain a degree of autonomy from the rest.

Between the wars, other factions came to be more significant, such as the Gallic Brigands. The Unione Corse were able, for the most part, to have good relations with all.

This changed when some treacherous, greedy Junkers sold out bits of information on the Unione's darker operations to the Gallic Police. Bourbon Base, owned by the Gallic Junkers, was seized by the LaBrise as revenge. Everyone on board that station was murdered, and surprisingly, there was no further retaliation from the Junkers. Instead, they built a new base in Burgundy. A bigger one; a better one.

Later on, when the Second Gallic War began, the Unione Corse were far more discreet about which side they favored. As a result, both sides treated the Corse with suspicion. Nevertheless, the Unione Corse delivered prototypes of the GRN's mine-neutralizing devices to the Maquis, which were then recreated in sufficient numbers by the Council. From there, these devices were used to clear that narrow path into the Lorraine minefield.

Around this time, many concerns arose over the lack of unity and loyalty among the Corse, which proved true when an internal conflict between LaBrise and Orsini's Corse came about. LaBrise worked with the Gallic Crown, whereas Orsini led his forces openly against it. During this war, the leader of LaBrise was mysteriously murdered about when Orsini himself disappeared. At the end of the struggle, LaBrise were no more. In fact, most of the Unione Corse was no more.

Led by a man who joined under a pseudonym a few years prior, the Unione Corse slowly got back to its feet. The General restructured the balance of power, giving the families some control whilst keeping their politics separate from the main ranks. Quietly establishing its influence, the Corse branched more out of Gallia. And even though the Unione Corse were sure to keep work against the Gallic Crown secret, Sirian connections also serve as a safe-guard if they marked them as enemies.

Today, the Corse have been able to establish many relations outside of Gallia, presenting themselves as a mostly lawful group that is eagerly willing to smuggle commodities and information to its allies.


Command Structure

Armed Division Rankings

Most authority within the Unione Corse rests in this division, or more specifically the Armed Command. While similar in many ways to a large corporation's paramilitary by responding to the Famille Senat for its actions, this branch effectively leads the Corse altogether.

  • General: Leads the Unione Corse. Out of character, this is the faction leader. [Limit 1]
  • Commandant: High ranking Membres, leaders when the General is not present. Out of character, they are the official second in command, who are dedicated to the faction and understand the roleplay very well. [Limit 2]
  • Parrain: The head of domestic matters. See Famille Senat. Out of character, this is a forum-crazy individual who understands Corse roleplay very well and is the lowest High/Armed Command rank. [Limit 1]
  • Lieutenant: Senior membre. Out of character, this rank only exists to provide a leader in combat situations where High Command members are absent. [Limit 5]
  • Membre: Ordinary Corsican. Out of character, this should be the standard rank. [No limit]
  • Aspirant: Recruit Membre. Out-of-character, someone who needs to log a few hours here and there and show that they understand the basic concepts of the faction. [No limit]


Famille Senat Title System

The Senat is a large body comprised mainly of civilians which holds the Corsican families together. It allows each of the several hundred families to have their own say whilst generally keeping them all in line. Aside from unity, the main focus of this group is on Corse domestic and financial matters, such as base maintenance and front company management. Even though their overall power is somewhat limited, it is nevertheless an important group which brings Unione to Corse.

  • Parrain: Directs the Famille Senat, reporting to it regularly in order to account for his decisions. [Limit 1]
  • Tribun: The five Tribuns are elected by the Senateurs to oversee the Senat and work with the Parrain. Should a Parrain leave or be dismissed, the Tribuns will appoint a new one. Outside the Senat meetings, they hold closed sessions to discuss matters privately. The Tribuns can also remove anyone in the Corse from their position should four of them agree to it. Out of character, these people understand UC's roleplay well and are advisors to the faction leader as a sort of mid-command. [Limit 5]
  • Senateur: A head family membre, one of several hundred in the Famille Senat. A family's power in the Senat depends on their size, wealth, and history. A family gets a seat for every four membres, and as a sign of respect, those with great wealth or history vote first. Out of character, this is a simple rank that can be chosen by any Membre who wants the additional roleplay. [No limit]
  • None: A membre who is either without a Corsican family, has been chosen not to represent their family, or holds the rank of General or Commandant. [No limit]

Code of Conduct

  • In-Game Communication: Members are required to stay in-roleplay at all times in /s system and /l local chats. Out-of-roleplay in /g group chat must be marked with // unless otherwise agreed upon by all members of that group.
  • In-Game Roleplay: Players must keep in mind who their characters are; in personality, background, and reactions. They are also to understand the position of characters they encounter, and the fact that other people are behind them.
  • In-Game Combat: Fair fights are encouraged, though not strictly required. That said, we do not gank. As per our ID, we can treat bountied transports as combat targets, but we will make attempts for alternate encounter conclusions if possible.
  • In-Game Equipment: Ships and weapons from the Tertiary Tech Usage all require permission from the Armed Command to use. [UC] will not field more than two Ascos in one area at once, and if only two of us are online, just one Asco.
  • In-Game Trading: Members should attempt to maintain a proper balance of lawful goods to contraband items. Although this faction has a strong focus in the black market, we must stick to being quasilawful.
  • Forums Roleplay: As a roleplay-oriented faction, members who seek out RP opportunities for their characters (in the Communications Channel, [UC] Subforum, Stories and Biographies, etc.) will be rewarded appropriately for their work.
  • Other Factions: For inRP purposes, metagaming, powergaming and ooRP espionage, either detrimental or beneficial towards this faction, will not be tolerated.
  • General Roleplay: Alternate (alt) characters may be necessary for some positions, depending on the background or current position of your main character. To prevent confusion in creating an alt however, please contact the HC.
  • General Behavior: Remember the old 0.0 rule, folks - be kind and fair towards one another. Also, the sandwich rule (or equivalent food) really does come in handy. Keep in mind that it's just a game, and the purpose is to have fun, not to win.
