The Phantoms Yet Live
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

- Role: Guerilla resistance movement.

GENERAL INFORMATION
- Group Name: The Phantoms of Freedom
- Classification: Resistance Movement
- Headquarters: Auberllon. In order to avoid the leadership being wiped out, the Phantoms have no central headquarters.
- Loyalties: The only loyalty that unites the Phantoms is a loyalty to Auberllon itself.
- Group Sigil: [x] This image was created by yours truly.
- Description: The Phantoms of Freedom are a resistance movement based on the isolated planet of Auberllon. They wage a shadow war against the ruling faction, the Imperial Authority, an Imperial Remnant government. Low on supplies, manpower, and just about everything else, the Phantoms are forced to use guerilla tactics. Their organization is shrouded in secrecy, using signals and code to communicate between cells rather than open comms, for fear of being discovered.
SOCIAL INFORMATION
- Hierarchy: The Phantoms of Freedom have no official leadership or ranks. The more senior agents give orders and organize, but hierarchy varies between each cell. For the most part, there are senior agents at the top that receive information, and share it only in need-to-know situations.
- Membership: There is only one known initiation ritual: to prove their loyalty, a prospective Phantom must kill an Authority officer. If they cannot, then they are not Phantom material.
- Dogma/Doctrines: This is where things get complicated. Although the Phantoms of Freedom are united against the Authority, this is where their cohesion ends. The resistance group is a hodge-podge of ideologies ranging from anarchists to fascists to those who wish a return to democracy. These conflicting ideological groups constantly argue about what kind of government shall be installed after the Authority collapses, and this leads to a massive loss of cohesion. It is likely that if the Authority is removed as a common enemy, these groups will fall to infighting.
- Curios: To maintain complete secrecy, there is no physical marker of Phantom membership, code phrases replacing such things.
- Goals: Bring down the Imperial Authority and any other groups attempting to control Auberllon, at any cost.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Phantoms of Freedom were founded around twenty years ago, in the slums of Antigneax on the world of Auberllon. Outraged by the horrors and atrocities the Imperial Authority visited upon the Auberlloni people, these founding members vowed to see it's downfall, and restore Auberllon's freedom, no matter the cost. Since then, they have waged a war in the shadows, striking quickly, and retreating just as quickly. Their philosophy has been to kill the Authority with bee stings, stretching and draining the government's already precious resources to the breaking point.
The modern Phantoms are more bold, however, and raids on the Authority are almost daily. They're gearing up for something huge, but only a few select members know what it is: a mass uprising, at the most opportune moment, to finally break the back of the Authority for good. Unless someone from the outside interferes, that is.
