♚ Story Compendium

Main Theme (Will be added to and changed as things are more thoroughly discussed). Over 1000 years have passed since the solar system's first integration attempt. As many of the originally colonized planets become increasingly unlivable, new technologies have allowed for sentient beings to develop life elsewhere. Natural resources are scarce, and while technology makes up for much of what was lost, organic materials are in high demand. Lack of information control and the introduction of global currencies has given rise to organized crime. This story in particular focuses on one such group that controls a large part of the middle-western solar system.

Organization Name and Overall Goal

[tunafish.livejournal.com]

The name me and Endy are discussing using is Circle Seven. It would reflect seven different divisions within the mafia that carried out different tasks (For example, there could be an intel branch, a supplies branch, a defense branch, etc). In addition to this, the name would also reflect 7 vows that recruits have to take on upon entering, which would be something of a list of dos and don'ts, like some sort of mafia code to swear by.

The overall goal of this organization is to secure financial dependence of a planetary/national majority, and with their influence, force the governing bodies into a more unified system. This is with the intention of doing away with high tariffs, unfair interplanetary restrictions, inescapable class and living conditions of those living on "dead planets," and a lot of other stuff that isn't right with the solar system's shaky system of trade and communication! As a bonus, if this plan succeeded, it would likely put their organization in a position of influence over the whole solar system. -- This organization does a lot of major military lending and such, however, so there's a little bit of grey area that comes into play since they're essentially helping what they are fighting against, which is fragmented planetary rule and ongoing interplanetary strife.

Fourth Circle

The Fourth Circle is located a good distance away from the headquarters (the First Circle), closer to the center of the planetary system. It specializes in information gathering and selling, and has a reputation for being very slow with personal requests until you follow up with them, considering the volume of information they handle on a day-to-day basis.

The leader of this division is unspecified, but I would recommend a member of a separate race that is known for SUPER SMARTS or something. (Live long and prosper, folks.)
