Information
The Independent Communist Miner’s Guild was formed in 806 A.S. by Roger Sterling and Mack Holt. Teachings such as Egalitarianism and traditional Marxism helped form the way the ICMG looked at the vast universe around them. The ICMG was formed on some of the basic communist teachings, such as equality for all, no matter the gender, age, or race. Also the belief that social classes are tools used to keep progress slow and minimal for the general populace. As such every citizen of the ICMG is treated equally and fairly no matter what.
Due to their more “radical” beliefs, the ICMG Moved to the outer reaches of Sirius and set up their headquarters on Dounby Station in the system known as “Orkney”. However, to not be bound to a single location the ICMG have acquired several decommissioned warships and converted their use to make them suitable colony ships. In the twelve years since their founding the ICMG has shifted its base of operations from Dounby to their colony ships.
History
Mack Holt and Roger Sterling came upon the ideas of Communism while traveling through the remote Omega Systems. Upon moving through a particular dense asteroid field they came upon a transmission. It relayed the teachings and the ways of communism. They checked the signal source and tracked back to a rock with a metal plate with a hammer and sickle on it.
Mack and Roger discussed the idea of a perfect Utopian communist mining society. They agreed it was a good idea and set out and gathered loyal miners and other supporters. They gathered all the people and funds they could and rented space on Dounby Station in Orkney.
The ICMG quickly gathered popularity and the population grew, their mining became streamlined and they had made enough profit to buy their first colony ship the Lazurite. They moved most of the population to the Lazurite and began buying fighters, bombers and even some gunboats. The citizens were taught how to fight and fly most of the ships that were now aboard the Lazurite.
At this point the ICMG began running convoys of mining ships and transports. During one of the convoys there was an attack by the Hogosha. They quickly targeted the large Hegemon Class mining ships and destroyed them. The other ships were quick to pick up the crew of the mining vessels and scare away the Hogosha. After that incident the ICMG encouraged the use of smaller mining ships with transports to deliver the ore along with a stronger and better equipped escort.
Ranks
The ICMG is a rapidly expanding organization. They currently have five ranks in their organization. This may change due to the rapidly growing nature of the guild.

Ships
The ICMG uses many ships in their endeavors. They usually stick to IMG and Civilian ships except for occasional oddities.
Defense Division
These craft are the guardians of the ICMG's mining operations and Colony ships. When the call to arms is sounded, these are the craft that answer.
Light Fighters
    |
Heavy Fighters
     |
 |
Very Heavy Fighters
     |
 |
Bombers
    |
Gunboats
 |
Shipping Division
These are the movers of the ICMG. If something needs to get somewhere, these ships deliver.
Freighter Wing
These are the smaller hauling craft. The Freighter wing of the ICMG is tasked with supplying and maintaining the ICMG's Colony ships, as well as preforming backup duties for the supplying of IMG bases.
     |
 |
Transport Wing
These are the larger ships in the ICMG's Shipping Division. These are mainly used as ore carriers and long range supply vessels.
     |
Mining Division
Movers of earth, these ships are the ICMG's backbone and their reason for existence.
The ICMG, like other groups of miners, are dedicated to the locating, extraction, processing, and shipment of mineral ores. However, they differ slightly, unlike many of the major mining companies, the ICMG employs a very few Hegemon Class mining ships. They prefer smaller mining vessels and a "hauler" to transport the ore. This is effective because if the convoy is attacked, the smaller vessels are more of threat to the attackers then a single huge mining ship. Also it is more effective in moving through asteroid fields, making shipments more smooth.
     |
Colony Ships
In case the ICMG ever finds a planet they would like to keep for their own, these ships would be on the front lines, bringing settlers and initiating the terraforming process. Otherwise these ships are found floating around the Orkney and Tau-23 systems acting as homes for the ICMG's miners, support crews, and families.
