(Quick note to Admins: Things highlighted in purple, are the changes that we have made to the previous submission) @Aberforth

This goes out to all members who are interested in joining a Five Syndicates sub-faction of united Pirates. We already have 7 interested members but the more the better when it comes to its creation. As stated in the title, you do not need to be an 5S character to apply to this sub-Faction, however, if 5S is where you plan on going with your character, this could be a good start.

The purpose of the faction will be to link common characters through RP. The RP routes very widely from piracy to artifact hunts Indiana Jones style to the hunting of space monsters by some of our members. While the routes are vast, you only need to pick one that you like, there is not a need to join in an artifact or space monster hunt if that is not your type of thing.

What will be required of you as a member is the occasional thread to help improve the Sub-Faction. One day, hopefully sooner than later, we will be adding a faction ship to our faction assets. A large capital ship that will act as a hub for our pirate lords to meet at and sell their stolen goods, recruit crew, and exchange stories. It will be each members responsibility to assist in the acquisition of this ship and its upgrades. If you have no interest in adding tech to the pirate hub, than recruiting crew or NPC's for the faction hub is just as important.

It is also important to know that there is no single leader of this faction. The faction will be ruled by an odd number of the total pirate lords. Everyone who is a member of this faction will be a pirate lord and have equal share in its leadership through the council of 9.

There are only 2 ranks in this sub-faction, Pirate Lord and Pirate Captain. Pirate Lords are the primary rank of all members, however, if the 9 seats have been filled, and you still would like to be a part of the Corsairs of 9, you will be allowed to join with the rank of Pirate Captain but will not have a say in nor a right to vote. You will have to wait for a Pirate Lord to leave by choice or go inactive for a spot in the Council.

During the time of the Great Galactic Civil War between the Empire and the Rebels, a 3rd Major power arose in the galaxy. No, I am not talking about the Hutts or the Black Sun, I refer to the Zann Consortium. This vast criminal empire waged war not only against the Empire but also against the Rebels. When its leader, Tyber Zann, had absorbed the Black Hole Pirates and other various small time Pirates, he turned his small criminal organization that once rivaled the Hutts and the Black Sun, into a criminal empire that competed with even the empire. The Zann Consortium, grew its power through the use of their infamous Defilers, who were known for moving into a system and setting up a criminal outpost that hosted pirates and corruption. The Zann Consortium did not only build a mighty criminal empire, but a a sizable fleet that rivaled most in the galaxy at the time. However, when their leader, Tyber Zann, had reached his peak and allowed he Rebels to form the New Republic, he settled in buying a senator and retired to a life without worry with his billions if not trillions of credits. His powerful fleet was slowly destroyed by the Empire and his criminal empire faded into legend. However, before it had all been lost, remnants of the pirates and defilers who were left, split to form their own criminal organization, the Corsairs of 5, named after the 5 remaining ring leaders.

The Corsairs of 5 have had many good years and just as many bad years since its creation, but the past 100 years have mostly been bad. They have had to make allies with their former adversaries, the Hutts and Black Sun, to even survive this long. The Corsairs have decided after all this time, that it was best to expand in order to survive, so the Corsairs began to recruit and became the Corsairs of 9 instead. Governed by the 9 pirate lords, and the only way to become a pirate lord was by the death of the previous one by a honorable deaths (mutinies and assassinations were frown upon).

The Corsairs live by a Code, a short list of rules that all members obey. These rules can be changed by popular vote through the council of 9.
1) Each Ship shall be independent of the other and no captain shall be forced to use their ship in any way they do not want to.
2) Part -A) Each Ship is free to their own loot minus Part-B.
2) Part-B) 10% of the loot is owed to the Flagship (Corsairs of 9)
3) Those who turn a member of the Corsairs to the authorities, is condemned to death.
4) The Flagship (Corsairs of 9 main hub) will always be a home to those who seek refuge from the law.
5) Members must have civility,. No senselessness like orbital strikes or mass killings
6) Loot will be equally divided if more than (1) Pirate lord is in on the prize.
