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.

As for the Council, they have a weakened relationship due to the Corse not being openly hostile towards the [[Gallic Royal Navy]].  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.

'''''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.
  
−
Specific origins of the Unione Corse are hard to trace.  However, it was, and still is, formed by those who have connections.
+
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.
−
Initially the Corse were an organization which financed and supplied various other organizations. However, they became less lawful when the Gallic government began increasing its regulations. This resulted in increased tensions, as the Unione Corse began to rely on smuggling.
 
  
−
During the [[First Gallic War]], the Corse were severely weakened due to a combination of unstable leadership and the arrests of many membres. Internal strife was caused by many splits in the Unione Corse.  The most notable branch was a group of former [[Gallic Royal Police]] who joined the Corse, known as [[La Famille de la Brise de Mer]].
+
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.
  
−
Between the wars, other groups arose in [[Gallia]], such as the Gallic Brigands.  Relations were going well with all, until some [[Gallic Junkers]] sold out the Unione Corse to the Gallic Royal Police.  As revenge, the LaBrise attacked the Junker's [[Bourbon Base]], and murdered everyone on board.  There was no further retaliation, which came as a surprise.
+
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.
  
−
The Corse have been more careful during [[Second Gallic War]], leaving little evidence that they favor the Council over the Crown.  Covert support of their allies has proven to be most useful, granting the Unione Corse the ability to extend their influence to [[Sirius]].

==Command Structure==
 +
===Armed Division Rankings===
 +
*''General:'' Leads the Unione Corse. Out-of-character, this is the faction leader. [Limit 1]
  
−
'''''Unione Corse Divide'''''
+
*''Commandant:'' High ranking membre. Out-of-character, this/they are the second in command(s), dedicated to the faction and understand the roleplay very well. [Limit 2]
  
−
The rift between the LaBrise and the other Corse groups was growing. The LaBrise worked with the Gallic Royal Police, whereas other Unione Corse were hunted down by the GRP. Eventually, the Corse turned on each other.
+
*''Parrain:'' The head of domestic matters. Out-of-character, this is a forum-crazy individual who understands Corse roleplay very well and is the lowest High Command rank. [Limit 1]
  
−
In late 817, the LaBrise attempted to take over the main group of the Unione Corse. LaBrise, led by Aurelie LaBrise (aka, La Veuve Noire), demanded that the Corse disband and become part of LaBrise.  The main Unione Corse group, lead by Joel Orsini, 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 Orsini's forces still refused to submit.  Oddly enough, Joel Orsini himself had disappeared.
+
*''Lieutenant:'' Senior membre. Out-of-character, this rank only exists to provide a leader in combat situations where High Command members are not present. [Limit 5]
  
−
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.
+
*''Membre:'' Worthy of the Corse. Out-of-character, this is the standard rank, [No limit]
  
−
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 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 Pyrrhic victory for the Unione Corse, winning through sheer numbers.  Afterwards, Marquise thought it best to consolidate his forces and not move on.
+
*''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 Corse. [No limit]
  
−
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 desperation.  Not long into the battle, Logarus' gunship was heavily damaged and it crashed into Bourbon Base.  Logarus was recovered by the LaBrise, and held captive aboard Bourbon.  Since the Corse were winning outside, 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 Orsini disappeared...
+
===Famille Senat Title System===
 +
*''Parrain:'' Directs the Famille Senat, reporting to it regularly in order to account for his decisions. [Limit 1]
  
−
The fighting ended there, in early 819.  Logarus remained leader of the Unione Corse, and Zechs Marquise was instated as the new Parrain. Logarus restructured the chain of command, and had Marquise create a Famille Senat to help unify the Corse families. This gave the Parrain less power in the military, but kept them at the head of domestic affairs.
+
*''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 if four of them agree on it. Out-of-character, these people understand UC's roleplay well and are advisors to the faction leader. [Limit 5]
  
−
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.
+
*''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 and 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. Out-of-character, uh, nothing. [No limit]
  
−
Joel Orsini was never seen again, but he left the Unione Corse his adopted son, Jason Orsini, who remains a member today.

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 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.

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.
