This is a player faction page. For the affiliated NPC faction page, see Bundschuh.

Synopsis

The Bundschuh are a populist political faction that has been declared "enemy of the state" by the Rheinland Reichstag. Attempts to gain amnesty from Chancellor Steller after the Nomad War have failed, and while many are still faithful to their political goals and ideas, others have turned away from the Bundschuh to piracy and terrorism as a desperate attempt to cause damage to the government.

A populist left-wing Rheinland political party, they are currently outlawed and seek to overthrow the corrupt regime of the “Gottkanzler.” Large amounts of the Rheinland population are sympathetic to the well-educated organization, and donations mean that the Bundschuh focus on political targets, rather than distasteful piracy. Recruiting members from mainstream society, as well as numerous pirate “organizations” the Bundschuh are a corps of ideologically motivated activists.

History

Formed after the Bundschuh were once again outlawed, the Volksfront are the armed forces of the Bundschuh party. Present at almost all operations of the party, they are the most visible members. The highest point in their history was the Nomad War when they assisted Edison trent in a raid on Rheinland's nomad shipyards. Since then they have continued to strike at the Rheinland government, increasing their operations to a level never seen before.

Objectives

The ultimate objective of the Bundschuh is to overthrow the current Rheinland Government and to institute a free democracy. It is the Volksfront's duty to fulfill this objective. To restore power to the people, and have all share in the glory of the Fatherland.
