Ouroboros is a revolutionary transhumanist organization founded by Nodoka Hanamura under the alias of Exuberant Lilith, with interests in promoting 2000s AD Japanese Ideologies of Social libertarianism and political conservatism, as well as focusing efforts against the Nomads and Gallia.
Founded by Nodoka Hanamura in 825, going under the alias of Exuberant Lilith, Ouroboros consists of Blood Dragons, Golden Chrysanthemum defectors, smaller terroristic factions that had merged with Ouroboros, as well as citizens that followed Hanamura's beliefs. Being a terran Japanese citizen before the launch of the Kusari, Nodoka's ideology of social liberation and political liberalism, as well as vying to purge the keiretsu of Kishiro Technologies and Samura Heavy Industries from the political sphere, resonated with the disenfranchised, whilst promoting a semi-open economy, as opposed to the concept of a closed economy as brought forth by the Blood Dragons. Even though the faction also uses vessel names not exclusively from Old earth Japan and Kusari, the faction holds true to the past of Kusari's predecessor in both History and Culture.
The faction also focuses itself upon Nodoka's personal vendettas against Michal Golanski of the Order as well as the Gallic Crown, under the guise of "Getting rid of true terrorists" when it comes to the order and "Eradicating Gallic presence in Kusari and aiding our comrades in Bretonia and The Council", as well as the eradication of the Slomon K'hara from both Kusari and Sirius.
Ouroboros' Transhumanist ideals revolve around tenets somewhat originating from the Auxesian Monastery of Irene, as well as the ideologies of Mieko "Honya" Iekahara. This transhumanist quasi-religion, known as 'The Children of Mieko', considers Artificial Intelligences to be 'angels', born to guide mankind to a virtual afterlife.

Diplomacy
Diplomacy in regards to Ouroboros, similar to its' founder, is unconventional.
Diplomacy in Detail
Slomon K'hara and Thralls (Aoi Isejin/Das Wilde/Commune/Infectees)
Seen by Ouroboros as a threat to the Human race, Ouroboros exterminates any Nomads or nomad supporters (with exemption to The Oracles) within their ZoI without prejudice or exception.
The Order
The Order is seen by Ouroboros as a jaded, corrupted version of their past selves under Casper Orillion. Since they consider themselves a more democratic and socially progressive equivalent to the Blood Dragons, Ouroboros seeks to, by any means necessary, depose Michal Golanski and his chain of Command from Order Overwatch. Due to this, they show more hostility towards members of Overwatch and the Primary fleet, and are less hostile to, and even sympathetic to Members of the Order Secondary Fleet, especially those disenfranchised by Overwatch.
The Core
The Core are considered by them as a radical totalitarian organization, and due to Ouroboros' predilections in regards to Auxesia and a reformed Order, they see the Core as Hostile.
Blood Dragons
Ouroboros has a love-hate relationship with Blood Dragons. On one hand, the Dragons are admired for their actions in the Nomad war and their vehement defense of the Kusari populace from the Nomads and their Thralls. However, When it comes to politics, this love turns to Incompatibility and even hostility. Due to their democratic ideals and the Blood Dragons' adamancy on the existance of a Shogun to lead Kusari, Which Ouroboros dislikes due to how power can corrupt a leader easily. Then there is the Dragons' clans backing of Michal Golanski's Overwatch, and sheer disregard for his extremist belligerence against those who question him.
Outcasts
Ouroboros sees Outcasts as a curse upon the once great nations that made up the peoples of the Hispania. Plagued by Crime, Forced Drug use, Slavery and other unfavorable practices, the Ouroboros seeks to purge the Outcasts from Kusari.
Corsairs
Although the Corsairs and Outcasts are enemies, Ouroboros doesn't care for either of them. This is due to their predilections to Auxesia and Auxesia's past of being betrayed by the Corsairs.
Kishiro Technologies
Ouroboros may be a Transhumanist organization, but the abhorrent actions of Kishiro in regards to projects like Project Tsurara-onna (The Project responsible for the extended cryogenic freezing and experimentation on Ouroboros Leader Nodoka Hanamura) and their AI projects (more precisely, the stalled Project Lovely Sweet Dream and the Kishiro K/WA-11 AI QPU Framework) have gained them a strong ire from the group.
Samura Heavy Industries
Although they are a sprawling Keiretsu like Kishiro, Ouroboros looks more favorably upon Samura than Kishiro, for their efforts to preserve Kusarian agriculture from Liberty's Synth Foods Incorporated. This, however - is where their appreciation for Samura ends, as their past has made them just as much a "donation-at-gunpoint" target as Kishiro. This is due to their distrust of them in regards to their overreaching actions during the Sakura Coup and general use of aggression through quasi-lawful and unlawful channels to engage in attacks on Kishiro, which, although they hate Kishiro, Ouroboros sees this as a issue that poses risk to regional stability.
Ouroboros sees the KSP (Keisatsu-cho) and KNF (Kaigun) as nothing more than a nuisance in their way to claiming control of the state. They do welcome defectors from the KNF and KSP, but are more than willing to kill those spilling internal information or betraying the ideals of Ouroboros.
The Oracles
The Oracles, although considered as thralls of the K'hara, are more peaceful and wish to make peace between the Nomads and Humanity - Something Ouroboros sees as somewhat futile, but admires, due to the Oracles being considered a transhumanist organization. As such, they are tolerated.
Golden Chrysanthemums
Although the Chrysanthemums collaborate with the Outcasts and Blood Dragons, the GC are considered to be aligned with the ideals of Ouroboros for a equal society. Even though Golden Chrysanthemums engage in the use of Cardamine, Ouroboros tolerates this amongst GC defectors as long as it is used by those consenting to its' use. However, their relationship is strained by the Golden Chrysanthemums' reliance on the drug coming from the Outcasts, and have been making attempts to develop a synthetic variant of Cardamine to help bring the GC over to their side. This has gained the Ire of the Outcasts and other members of the Orange Treaty.
Hogosha
Due to having the best of intentions for Kusari going forward, Ouroboros is somewhat Cordial with them, however, they do not take kindly to the Hogosha's collaboration with the KNF and with Samura. Even with this, due to the their mutual disdain for Kishiro Technologies and common issue with the Blood Dragons, The Ouroboros sees the Hogosha as a way to help boost propaganda and other PSYWAR efforts in Kusari.
Junkers
Unlike the Hogosha and other revolutionaries, the Junkers are mostly tolerated by Ouroboros.
Bretonia
Unlike the government of Kusari in present-day, Ouroboros promotes collaboration with the Houses of Sirius, In trade and in War with the Nomads, this includes Bretonia - However, this friendship is mostly as a result of Ouroboros' ties to Auxesia, who are in turn allied with Bretonia.
Harpy Squadron
Being the organization that helped aid Nodoka during her days as Administrator of Freeport 11, Harpy Squadron is seen as an ally to Ouroboros, even with their past ties to the Corsairs.
Zoners
Even though Zoners don't fall within the general purview of Ouroboros, they see Zoners as a trade ally. Furthermore, Ouroboros has pledged, following the incident at Port Carthage, to help Defend Freeports within their ZoI, from any threats, be they nomadic or otherwise.
Auxesia
Being the faction that inspired and to some extent, supports Ouroboros, Auxesia is considered Close ally by Ouroboros, seeking to work together on intelligence gathering, force deployment (when ZoI Permits) and other activities expected of a strong relationship.

Shipline and Groups
Consisting of various task forces and elements, Ouroboros is known for its' diversity in operations, ranging from transport and smuggling operations to keep the movement afloat, to fighters, bombers and capital ships fighting on the front lines.
Groups
Kotetsu STRKFITGRU
Where all combatant pilots end up after Basic Training, Kotetsu Strike Fighter Group (Abbreviated to STRKFITGRU). Kotetsu meaning "little iron" in Kusarian, Kotetsu Group consists of fighters of all sizes, as well as bombers. All vessels being from the border-worlds as well as various civilian manufacturers, obtained via the black market and often manufactured by Ouroboros themselves, Kotetsu was one of the first groups, before the growth of the fleet to consist of more capital ships, and is, by number of vessels, the largest group in Ouroboros.
Rathgrith CAPSTRKGRU
The Rathgrith Capital Strike Group, consisting of the flagship and home of Ouroboros, the OCS Abdicant Seraphine, a Akibara-class Dreadnought based on the Livadia Shipbuilding Aquilon-class Carrier, and various smaller vessels, including freighters and transport which have been refitted into anti-snubcraft 'frigates'. One of the largest groups in terms of personnel, Rathgrith is the only group that doesn't have Kusarian origins for its' name, named after the valkyrie Rathgrith, known as the Plan-breaker - as shown in the Poetic Edda. The groups' priority is on defending the Seraphine first and formost, other than force projection against the KNF and their other enemies.
Hakugyoukurou LOGI/DIPLOGRU
Focused on keeping Ouroboros' personnel and ships up and running, Ouroboros smuggles and transports materials and personnel throughout their Area of Operations, as well as throughout greater Sirius. Furthermore, the group also doubles as Ouroboros' diplomatic element, and is home to the OCS Amicable Bias, which is the unofficial flagship of Hakugyoukurou, as well as the OCS Mendicant Didact, another Diplomatic liner under the faction.
The name, Hakugyokurou, translates literally to White Jade Tower. Why this name was chosen is unknown.
Higan SPECOPSGRU
Much akin to their Auxesian contemporaries in Zeta Section, Higan is the secretive SIGINT/HUMINT (Signals Intelligence/Human Intelligence) unit of Ouroboros. Named after the land of the dead, Higan personnel utilize callsigns, signs and countersigns, dead drops, and various other special operations and black operations tactics and concepts in order to achieve their mission. Furthermore, Higan utilizes various moles and spies within their enemies, mainly the Kusari State Police and Kusari Naval Forces. Higan is also responsible for R&D projects under DEVGRU Sanzu.

Founded by Nodoka Hanamura (as Exuberant Lillith) in 825 A.S., Ouroboros is a Revolutionary faction that serves to overthrow Kusari in the name of 2100s Terran Japanese ideals and Transhumanism, rather than modern ideals most associated with Meiji period Japan, including but not limited to - Gender Equality, Promotion of Human Rights, Social welfare, Fair treatment of Prisoners and the abolishment of Hard Labor for prison sentences. As a result, various persons from both Kusari and around Sirius have joined the movement, ranging from KSP Defectors and Former Hogosha, to Blood Dragons and Golden Chrysanthemums who decided to join the unifying movement.
