- Unit Name: Fiora Regime Goons
- Affiliation:
Marcella Fiora
(Caporegime); Ivory Stroud (Donna); 'The Family' (Faction).
- Classification: Mafioso Soldiers & Criminals
- Description: In comparison to the Donna's goon counterparts, Marcella's soldiers are more refined and classy, preferring the use of intelligence over brute strength. These individuals form the Fiora Regime with each 'Made' member granted a certain degree of autonomy over how they conduct business, though with increased pressure as a result as they must continually produce profit and new opportunities as their focus is financial, corporate and political crime; subsequently, they are considerably well-paid in comparison.
Like their counterparts however, they are still professional and experienced killers and are skilled in the art of coercion, violent or not, and are prepared to defend their Capo, Donna and business whenever possible. Members of the Fiora Regime hail from a wide variety of races, though predominantly human, and both xenophobia and sexism is non-existent amongst them.

- Combat Function: Unlikely to be involved in large scale combat engagements unless specifically called upon by their Capo, soldiers of the Fiora Regime often work alone or in pairs as a result of their dispersed nature and decentralized organisation. To become a 'Made' member within the regime, one must show that they are wholly capable of working alone in both business and criminal aspects, meaning that each member is particularly intelligent and can be trusted to perform with little oversight.
On rarer occasions, they can work together in teams of four and prefer close-quarter-combat engagements over open engagements. Unlike their counterparts, they typically avoid hand-to-hand combat and prefer to use sidearms generally, though they are willing to fight dirty to achieve their goals in all respects.
They do not typically require support, relying instead on their ability to strike quickly then disappear into the shadows. They will not engage in extended firefights unless absolutely necessary, as this is more likely to attract the attention of the authorities. If cornered, they will not attempt to take hostages but if cornered & the hostage is an enemy, they may attempt to bargain. Threats should be taken seriously.
- LOYAL & PROFESSIONAL: Unquestionably loyal, they are willing to fight and die for their Caporegime and can not be bought.
- DECENTRALIZED & AUTONOMOUS: Spread throughout a number of planets and cities, they live on their own and are left to their devices with spontaneous check-ins. All 'Made' members are tried and tested for their capabilities to operate with little oversight.
- CORPORATE, FINANCIAL & POLITICAL CRIMINALS: Although capable of violent crimes, they mainly specialise in corporate and financial crimes and make considerably more money than standard goons. Also skilled in the art of espionage, they perform brilliantly in the field of political crime.
- OVERPROTECTIVE: They will not tolerate disrespect and may become violent if someone insults their Donna, Capo or organisation.
- DECENTRALIZED & DISPERSED: Although this may be seen as beneficial, they are dispersed throughout a number of planets and cities and are often unable to travel quickly as they need to protect their cover, if required.
- SPECIALIZED CRIMINALS: Primarily focusing on corporate, financial and political crimes, they do not perform as well in other criminal roles.
Each member of the Fiora Regime are hand-selected by their Caporegime,
Marcella Fiora
, and are chosen for the capability to operate on their own within a corporate, financial and political capacity. As a result of their specialised criminal activities, they earn much more than goons of other Capo's and offer unflinching loyalty to
Marcella Fiora
as a result. Members of the Regime come from a wide variety of backgrounds, though most commonly skilled workers who want security for themselves and their families.Members of the Fiora Regime are primarily split into three categories; firstly, Associates: not officially members of the Fiora Regime yet are workers who simply complete tasks for the regime and often complete odd-jobs under the watchful oversight of the soldiers. These individuals often work endlessly hard to become 'Made' within the Fiora Regime for both security and exceptional payouts.
Secondly, Soldiers: 'Made' members of the Fiora Regime, these individuals form the bulk of the faction and are tasked with producing income for the Caporegime~ they hold a considerable amount of power as a result of their autonomy and often have a large amount of associates working for them. They are free to choose their operations provided their choice is viable and isn't likely to expose the entire faction.
Thirdly, Enforcers: up to ten specifically chosen soldiers are tasked with overseeing the regime on behalf of their Caporegime, it is their job to ensure loyalty and to maintain the tenets of 'The Family.' Often found around their Caporegime to act as bodyguards, they are the individuals who communicate edicts to their soldiers; each enforcer will have a specific group of soldiers to oversee and are comparable to middle management.
Organised differently from The Donna's branch of 'The Family' as a result of Marcella's personal preference, the Fiora Regime operates independently, solely controlled by their Caporegime.
