=What is the Syndicate=
=What is the Syndicate=
The Syndicate is a collective of multiple influential corporations and many more less influential corporations who seek to oppose Nanotrasen for a plethora of reasons, and are aided by various paramilitary groups and other organizations who may also wish to oppose Nanotrasen. Initially founded by Cybersun Industries, Donk Corporation, and Waffle Corporation, there are plenty of reasons an organization joins the Syndicate, some hold grudges over business deals, others have a hatred for Nanotrasen and their monopoly or perhaps they just want a piece of Nanotrasens cake. Whatever their reason, they are the main threat to Nanotrasen today.

Initially, the Syndicate lacked a Hierarchy, and even today the idea of Autonomy among each of the members is highly sought and respected. However, thanks to the diplomatic, and sometimes not so diplomatic, suggestions of the bigger corps, the Syndicate was reformed into a more centralized organization with a planned agenda.

===Assembly of Ranks===
===Assembly of Ranks===
Every year, or upon demand of at least three of the five Officers, all member organizations of the Syndicate meet in an undisclosed location to discuss pressing matters. The Assembly tackles issues brought up by members focused on the next steps to subdue Nanotrasen. This is effectively a “Legislative” body within the Syndicate, but it’s only to determine the bigger picture for the next year. The Ranks are updated every 5 years based on company or organization influence and performance, but having an ally Officer goes a long way to climb up the ranks.

There are 5 Officers which make up the Council, which are the 5 most powerful groups within the Syndicate. The Officers are elected every 10 years by the Assembly of Ranks in a vote where performance as a company and as a Syndicate member are both highly important, with every First Rank vote counting as two and every Second Rank vote counting as one.

===Foundation - 2520-2537===
After the signing of the Soul Act in 2480 and the subsequent secession wars, the Commonwealth began signing a plethora of new contracts with corporations for technology necessary to win their internal conflict. However, it was clear that most of these contracts were given to Nanotrasen, due to their unparalleled sway in Commonwealth politics. As such, Cybersun industries, Donk Co., and Waffle Co. banded together, forming the basis of what would become the Syndicate. Their initial efforts were mostly political and economic, dealing with court cases, lobbying, market manipulation, and political power plays. Many other corporations and groups who also had reason to disdain Nanotrasen caught wind of this new triad, and joined their efforts, spanning the 17 years of foundation for the Syndicate. However, all members realized, after 17 years, that if they wanted to truly hinder or impede Nanotrasen, they would need to change their strategy into something more… Violent.

===Mobilization - 2537-2550===
In 2537, after years of struggling, the Syndicate had failed to make much progress against Nanotrasen. The megacorporation was still the favorite of the Commonwealth, and the constituents of the Syndicate wanted results, sooner rather than later

During what is now known as the “Mobilization” period, several new factions had formed in or joined the Syndicate, such as “The Committee”, a group of oftentimes extreme marketing and public relations experts and professional corporate diplomats, who work tirelessly to grow Syndicate influence within the Commonwealth’s corrupt inner circle of politicians, including the most senior of senators.

A controversial addition during this time was of the notoriously ruthless Warlords known as the “Gorlex Marauders”. They are feared and respected even by the most experienced security experts amongst Nanotrasen for their sheer viciousness, and their proven ability to board and detonate a warhead within top of the line Nanotrasen stations. Not many know the real reason for their involvement with Syndicate, but the running theory is that Nanotrasen had disputes with them in their home system, which led the Marauders to ally themselves with Nanotrasen’s biggest enemy.

It was during this period that the bigger corporations such as Cybersun sought to “Unite” the Syndicate by creating institutions to centralize it as an organization. Something which many small corporations and even some big corporations oppose to this day. The Rank system of the Syndicate, along with The Council, were created in the year 2543, but only came into effect in 2545. During this period the Syndicate suffered from internal schisming and infighting.. Due to these complications, the Syndicate was much less active up until the year 2550, where they made a stunning reemergence.

===Present Day - 2550-2556===
2550 was the year of the Nanotrasen Odyssey Exposition, a decennial show of force in the corporate world for Nanotrasen to illustrate their progress to the public, and to their investors and allies. 2550 was a dark year for the Exposition, due to a massive bioterror attack orchestrated by the Syndicate which resulted in the deaths of thousands of civilians and Nanotrasen personnel, including parts of the Board of Directors. However, no links were ever officially found between the attack and the Syndicate. Nanotrasen did try to bring the matter to the courts and even the legislative branch of the Commonwealth itself, to no success.

However, no links were ever officially found between the attack and the Syndicate. Nanotrasen did try to bring the matter to the courts and even the legislative branch of the Commonwealth itself, to no success.
This terrorist attack, known as the “Failed Odyssey” or the “Toxic Odyssey” was the first and biggest of many blows to Nanotrasen over the last 6 years. It conveyed a message of unity and power from the Syndicate, as well as showing them to be unafraid to take bold action. Nanotrasen has since doubled their security budget in an effort to prevent attacks of that scale from happening again. However, the Syndicate has never been more active.

This is the time period we find ourselves in today, a time where the competition between Nanotrasen and the Syndicate is at its peak, and everyone holds their breath as the balance of power seems to swing like a pendulum.

Some call them the leader of the Syndicate, others call them merely an associate. The truth is, Cybersun is the largest and one of the most influential members of the Syndicate. They are also one of the original 3 founding members, so they sit at the top of the chain amongst the Officers. This does not make their authority unlimited however, and if multiple Officers were to come together, Cybersun could be pressured to concede on some issues. Cybersun’s influence on the Syndicate as a whole is also immense, though many members of the Syndicate dislike or even outright hate Cybersun due to their focus on centralizing the SSyndicate.

Additionally, they are one of the main direct aggressors against Nanotrasen, as a substantial number of operatives hidden within Nanotrasen are alleged to work for Cybersun.

On the public side of things, Cybersun is a corporation well known for their progress in the medical and human augmentation fields. Some of their patents put many of Nanotrasen’s best medical advancements to shame.

Donk Co. and Waffle Co. Operatives are not to be trusted, but try to avoid outright hostility unless it’s necessary. The Committee are our allies and friends, work with them and assist them if possible. Mechanized Gears are a branch group of ours, and as such they should be treated with trust. Lastly, make sure that there are no traces of Cybersun being involved in any of your activities.

===Donk Corporation===
Donk Co. does not have a “normal” corporate history. Originally, their founders were a successful group of pirates who raided the corners of the known galaxy and even the unknown, but eventually moved on to become a corporation whose main products were foods and weapons. This relative prosperity for the pirates-turned-businessmen continued for a time, until they got swindled in a major deal by Nanotrasen. This maneuver cost them a fortune and almost bankrupted the entire corporation itself, which sparked off a century-long feud between Donk Co. and Nanotrasen.

If Cybersun is the alleged kingpin of the Syndicate, then Donk Co. is its treasurer. Donk Co. is one of the most financially important members of the SSyndicate, managing many of the funds for SSyndicate research projects, along with other projects that require funding. As such, they have a good standing with many of the Second Rank corps and often draw their votes in.

Founded and run by a family that is best described as “Insane but efficient.” The Waffle Corporation is best known for producing the world’s best waffles, combining various exotic and rare materials into a delightfully tasteful waffle. Their signature recipe is a well-kept secret from even some of the highest ranked employees, and those that do know it are forced to sign numerous non-disclosure agreements.

Waffle Co. within the Syndicate is well known for their brutal, and sometimes comedic, attacks due to most of their high ranking members being absolute lunatics. Though their methods are entirely questionable, and sometimes unhinged, the results are clear, so while many would like to see them eradicated from the Syndicate, or the universe on the whole, many in the Syndicate see them as a necessary evil.

Despite being Supported by Donk Co., Waffle Co. also gives their support to the Gorlex Marauders mainly because they enjoy seeing Nanotrasen stations being blown to bits and pieces are prone to providing them some of their more exotic technologies, a specialty of Waffle Co. Aside from exotic weaponry, Waffle Co. is also one of the leaders in animal related products ranging from simple commodities to rare delicacies coupled with some of the best leading experts on food scientists.

===The Gorlex Marauders (First Ranker)===
Originally, the Marauders were a ferociously nationalist terrorist organization formed by some of the more zealous haters of the Interstellar Soviet Union who believed the Commonwealth was actually being infiltrated by soviet agents who were seeking to cause a communist uprising from inside. Whether their claims are true or not is any man’s guess.

A collective effort between Cybersun and The Committee would end up opening talks between the Syndicate and the Marauders. The terrorists needed weapons, and the Syndicate needed a military force. It took some effort, but the collective efforts of Cybersun, the Committee, and even Donk Co. and Waffle Co. would sway the Marauders over to the Syndicate by stating that Nanotrasen was secretly part of a ploy to destroy the Commonwealth.

A branch group of Cybersun, Mechanized Gears focuses on engineering and robotics. They also produce some of the most capable saboteur operatives the Syndicate can provide. These engineers are capable of using explosives to achieve whatever objective they are given. They’re not fond of destroying stations as a whole though. They much prefer controlled explosions as a way to sabotage Nanotrasen activities.
