Synopsis
Since their break from Council, the Maquis openly commit acts of terrorism and general mayhem beyond what are normally considered 'acceptable' for wartime. They have no remorse for their targets, and while they will not go out of their way to harm civilians not actively supporting the Crown they have no pity for any caught in the crossfire. They are brutally efficient in their operations, and do not bother collecting evidence against their targets unless they need help from more idealistic friends. If someone is suspected of actively working for the Crown- even so much as organizing aid packages for soldiers- they could be targeted by the Maquis. They give no mercy to those they view as threats, and do not hesitate to kill anyone in their way.
Their actions have given them significant "street cred" with the Gallic Brigands and Unione Corse- both of whom consider them to be what Council should be, and a model of how to fight the Royalists. The well-nurtured friendship between the Maquis and the other Gallic unlawfuls puts them in the unique position to coordinate attacks on the Gallic Royal Navy between all four groups- a resource they have employed to deadly effect.
However, their actions have also driven away almost all popular support from the civilians: While Council enjoys funding and favorable eyes from many in the Gallic Metal Service and other corporations- as well as a few figures in the government- the Maquis are viewed as terrorists and murderers, guilty of war crimes and atrocities beyond number. The Maquis view this as an entirely accurate portrayal, if incomplete- outwardly they claim to act in order to free the people from the greater threat of the Monarchy, but inwardly more than a few of their actions serve as vengeance for personal grievances they blame the Crown's forces for.
History
In the early 7th century A.G.S., the Maquis were responsible for a series of massive explosions that killed over 2 thousand civilians in Gallic cities. This harmed the Council's reputation so much that all Maquis have been expelled from their home faction and had to seek new bases of operation, although the two groups did not become enemies as many expected. Instead, the Maquis evolved into pragmatic group of fortune seekers who would deal both with the Council and other Gallic unlawfuls. While the Maquis have expanded their actions against the Crown to piracy and smuggling in addition to the ever-present political terrorism, they have still played an important role in the Second Gallic War, fighting beside the Council ships against the Gallic Royal Navy and seeking much needed help of other Gallia unlawfuls in supplying Council war efforts.
