Short summary

The Omega Pirates Guild. The name speaks for itself, the OPG are Corsair pirates. We own and operate out of the Omegas, in particular Omega 41 and Omega 5. Originating from Cadiz base, the OPG has grown to become one of the prime Corsair factions. The OPG funds itself by pirating traders in the Omegas, Sigmas, Bretonia and Rheinland, funding a large fleet of Artifact smugglers and running protection rackets.

History

The OPG started as a small band of pirates. Gentle, found the Corsair pirates to be a disorganized rowdy bunch, that achieved very little. They didn't cooperate effectively among themselves, were easily overrun by House authorities, and very little of the spoils reached any Corsairs at Crete.

Gentle was disgusted, and started to recruit pirates and OPG gained it's first members. Most of the pirates joined eagerly, and a few of the more stubborn pirates were forced into submission. The backbone of the Guild was formed of some of the most ruthless and toughest pirates among the Corsairs. As news spread of the success rates of OPG raids on Crete, the youth of Crete were standing in lines to join and have their share of the adventure and spoils.

As the number of OPG pirates grew, so did their influence. Rather than being focussed solely in piracy, OPG expanded and ships were increasingly deployed in fleet operations. They quickly became the mainstay fleet of the Omegas, holding the lines against the Hessians and Mollies. As the Brotherhood weakened, the OPG grew in it's place, and took over main Corsair operations. After various power struggles, gathering strength through negotiation or brute force, the Guild now stands as one of the biggest criminal groups in Sirius.

As the OPG grew in size, Gentle picked out one of the outstanding pirates he could trust and made him his right hand man, the Overpirate. Together the OPG's coffers grew even fatter, funds from traders. Some were caught in space, and 'donated' kindly under threat of violence and others decided it was easier to pay a periodical sum for OPG 'protection'.

The OTC, Omega Trade Corporation was formed soon after the OPG gained a foothold amongst the Corsairs. Hiring Junkers and Corsairs, a fleet of various ships, trains, pirate transports, pirate trains, and whales was formed, with the sole purpose of providing income for the OPG through smuggling Artifacts, and bringing back resources that the Corsairs needed.

The OPG holds seats in the Corsair Council, sharing governance over the Corsairs together with the Brotherhood and the Benitez and count them as blood brothers. The relationship is now so strong that nothing could sway Gentle from his brethrens' side.

Lately the OPG has set it's eyes on Bretonia. Envying, Cambridge's abundance of food, while the Corsair people starved. Corsair raids into Bretonia increased, spearheaded by the OPG and relations with Bretonia has worsened ever since.

Today the OPG are some of the most feared pirates in Sirius. Brutal and effective tactics have made the OPG infamous among traders.

Hierarchy

Rank Description

Pirate King

The Pirate King is the most feared in the [OPG], all others answer to him.

Overpirates

Overpirates act as Pirate King's most trusted pilots, advisers and associates. They are there to rule with him but stay below him and run everyday OPG operations.

Scourge

Scourges are selected for their leadership and ruthlessness. They make sure the will of the OPG are realised. Scourges make diplomatic decisions and are also in charge of guiding new members. Scourges are allowed to fly all shipclasses.

Scourge’s Mate

Scourge’s Mates mostly work together with their Scourge. Both scout for possible new recruits and if they see potential, they’ll guide them through the process of becoming a true OPG-member. Usually the scourge’s mates aren’t in direct contact with the Pirate king or Overpirate. Communication goes via the scourge, who will then inform the higher ups. Scourges Mates are allowed to fly Cruiser class ships and below.

Marauder

Marauders are established OPG members who have proven to be loyal. They are mainly the brute manpower needed in all kinds of situations. Marauders answer to both scourges and scourge’s mates. Communication with the higher ups will go via these as well. Marauders are allowed to fly fighters, bombers and gunboats

Dock Rat

Any fresh recruit taking their arms and enlisting to our guild will start here. Dock Rats are still wet behind the ears when it comes to OPG fighting skills, piracy skills or smuggling skills. They are taken by Scourges, Scourge's mates or Marauders themselves and trained until they understand the basics of what every Corsair is. This is the most important period for the new recruit, as his first week is usually "do or die" while senior members of OPG discover what's he made of. Ofcourse, any proud son of a Corsair should have nothing to fear because OPG stands for things every Corsair has in their blood. Rats just need two slaps across the face to wake that blood up.

The Omega Pirates Guild has his own fleet of capital ships. None of the OPG-members are allowed to fly their own capital ships under the OPG flag.
