IC Thread Ideas

[Mithias]

In order to proceed smartly toward a Major Faction, we need a month of activity from at least 5 writers. What sets us apart from all the other Major Factions? Here are some ideas to incorporate into your storylines:

- Financing - We raise capital in a non-traditional manner: racketeering, prostitution, spice, arms dealing, scams, art theft, organ trafficing, slaving, illegal wildlife trading, art theft, slicing, extortion, blackmail, etc.
- Logistics - Transportation, moving good from A to B.
- Credit Laundering - process of making large amounts of credits generated by a criminal activity, such as drug trafficking or terrorist funding, appear to have come from a legitimate source.
- Control of the Criminal Underworld - The Black Sun Cartels are muscling out every major criminal player in the galaxy and putting their own businesses/people in place

For the Kyber Bank, Financing is a big part of what we do. We do partake in Credit Laundering, seeing as to how the Bank does do legitimate bank work. And then as any other bank, we try to take control of the market.

For threads, I believe we need to focus on Financing and Control of Markets first, and supplement this with a tiny bit of credit laundering. After the primary control, credit laundering becomes more useful as a financing tactic...

Yes to both.

Can't do a thing without credits.

Piracy will be big as we move from system to system each month. We are a LOT like pirates. YARRRR

Apart from the obvious 'Slice someones private data and blackmail them' there are other avenues available to a good slicer too. If you think about it, most currency is stored electronically. A little slice here, a few extra zeros there. Simple. Any kind of trade market is suseptable to the same ordeal.

This would however require some heavy duty gear, if only we knew of a wide-spread organisation that can lend its resources to find information and blueprints and lend them to a good engineer.

 

[Malicar]

Oh yes, we will always finance our slicers and engineers...no doubt.

Some Ideas:

Establish some safe houses on different worlds across the galaxy for our members to operate from should they find themselves separated from the main fleet when we go major. I'm thinking of clubs or warehouses with secret rooms and maybe the odd space station we could take over. Maybe hand these safe houses over to different sub-organizations within the Black Sun to run, kind of distributing territory.

We could always go out and do some piracy, as previously suggested.

But what I'd love to do, is reach out to the ORC or CIS and ask if they'd be interested in doing some form of thread. Maybe they discover us trying to set up a safe house in one of their worlds and we have a minor skirmish as they kick us out? After all, we can't win every thread. Plus the more RP we do with them the better we can get to know each other OOC, even if we won't get along IC.

Great suggestions!

Id love some Piracy related threads. Anything dirty
