Retribution OOC; I've ... er ... never done this before

Ever since Kang came into existence, I've kept making references to the Kangarawan "Faction". It's shown up in one form or another in most threads I've been in: Angel of Death, Vladistock City (sorry, can't remember the name!), HRL, Foundations, Ekibiyo, Twin Grand Duchies and War Games. There are probably a few others I've left out.

Kang was more or less a dictatorship until eight years ago when the former President, Gorski, died. The Upper House of the Government, comprised of all of the Ministers, had been appointed for twenty year terms, and when Mappins took over it was only with the help of a Resistance movement. Little by little, he's been replacing Ministers as their terms expire, but in truth, he has absolutely no idea who he can trust with the exception of a select few.

A number of very powerful Ministers form the Kangarawan Faction. They were the elite under Gorski's mandate, but now, while they can siphon off some money from Governmental coffers, they've turned to other ventures to support themselves. They buy and sell information. They're into the drug trade and the arms trade. They'll virtually deal with anyone who they believe can help them achieve their ultimate goal: overthrowing the current regime. They're well aware that they can't do it through the ballot box. A coup of some sort is the only chance they have.

In "Angel of Death", Kand described their communication network as follows:

Kandarin
 
The Faction's communications network was a haze. Its complexity was designed, brilliantly designed, to intimidate by sheer scale. For someone on the ground, it would be impossible to grasp its entirety, much less figure it out. But with a clear image of the whole picture...it was still a haze.


They have control of a fourth level 4 Lab, which is only rumoured to exist. Their tendrils spread far and wide into the civil service and the military.


"Retribution" starts with the family of the Vice President, Chantal Scythes, being killed in a house fire. There's no doubt by the second post, however, that the Vice President was the primary target.

A look at my character list will probably give you a fairly good idea as to which Minister may or may not be approachable. Angel of Death might even give you a clue as to who the head of the Faction may be.


What I'm hoping is that various nations will choose to either help the faction or the current government. The turns the thread takes will depend entirely on who does what.

I need to make a couple more posts in order to completely set things up, but if anyone is willing to jump in, I'd appreciate it. As most of you know, I'm normally far too much of a wuss to start my own threads, lol.

Lucille Haskalah is Lady Secondary of Kandarin's House Chiron. Chiron's primary emphasis is on heavy industry, a niche that has made it the wealthiest of the Great Houses. Haskalah's role in this is as the head of several of the largest Kandarinese mining firms.

Unfortunately, most of the veins of usable ore within the Kandarin Federation itself have been tapped out, so she must look elsewhere for sources of raw materials. Responsible, stable and/or high-tech countries usually have competing firms mining their own veins, thus denying the Kandarinese the opportunity to claim them. Rather than trying to deal with them, Haskalah seeks out countries with struggling oligarchs or revolutions. She makes deals with their leaders wherein her organization keeps (or puts) them in power by means of assassination and sabotage, in exchange for unlimited access to the desired materials.

To aid in this, or possibly just to satisfy some personal whims, Lucille Haskalah plays the role of a...shall we say...well-known literary figure (whose name can also be abbreviated to "Lucy"!). Despite this and despite the appearances she maintains, she practices no magic and worships no god. The 'infernal' effects she is able to conjure are products of technology.

Kandarin should just implode from the sheer ridiculousness of it all.

I mean, no nation could ever sustain that many contradicting belief systems and still exist.
