Flag of the Syndicate. A crossover of the Mitsubishi logo and the flag of Imperial Japan.
</div>

The Syndicate is the united arm of the Black Dragon Society and the Mitsubishi Conglomerate and one of the largest organization of the world by matters of finance and one of the largest non-governmental military organizations. The Syndicate was ruled an organized criminal network by both Aurono and the other powers on the American continent, but this is only one aspect of the complex conspiracy evolving around the Syndicate. The organization has substanital presence in, and influence over:

However, due to the "facelessness" of the organization, which is made up of several competing branches, companies and splinter organizations grouped around multiple leaders and councils, it is hard to determine what actions are carried out by the Syndicate, as no clear agenda can be determined for their cause.

History

For most of the early 20th century, the Mafia was the leading ciminal organization in America. This changed when the Japanese invasion broke up the government, old authorities fell from power and strict disciplinary measures prevented bribing of officials.

With the dawn of the information era, the Mafia lost ground to new, more technologized organizations focusing on internet crime and hacking, and the manufacture and sale of hi-tech weapons and equipment. One of these organizations was the Mitsubishi Conglomerate, a megacorp that had risen from a notable national producer of military equipment and motorized vehicles to one of the largest corporations of the world in the wake of the japanization of Asia and the Pacific area. Mitsubishi operated under strict government control, but was involved in many less legal affairs.

Organization

The organizational structure of the Syndicate is hard to determine, because it involves multiple leading figures, branches and companies, often with conflicting agendas. While parts of the Syndicate adher to a strict Human Supremacist viewpoint and oppose genetic engineering and other forms of creating Non-Human sentients, other parts actively engage in research in these fields. The Syndicate takes active influence on the policy of Aurono through it's politcal arms, ironically called "Executive Syndicate", which acts as a shadow government constantly trying to usurp Princess Momoko Aurelia Hanasaki's position through various means. The Black Dragon Society and the Syndicate have both been connected with the assassination of Prince William and Princess Yoko of Aurono, and the armed resistance of Unit 741 soldiers in Alcatraz following the official transformation of the unit into a civilian medical research society and the end of the Racial Purity and Human Supremacy politics in Aurono.

Sectors

Guns and Ammunition

Mitsubish is the largest and almost exclusive developer, designer, producer and supplier of military material in Imperial Japan and Aurono. While the naval and aerospace engineering branches deliver the newest battleships and kamikaze craft to the Dai-Nippon Teikoku Kaigun (Imperial Japanese Navy), the company is also the sole producer of the Standardized Format Ammo Clips and also supplies the armed forces with most of its state-of-the-art lighter weapons. Most of the weapons developed and produced by Mitsubishi are also used by the Syndicate's strikers and operatives. Mitsubishi manufactures the following weapons:

  • Black Adder SMG - Subsidary: Hughes
  • Scram Cannons
  • Wave Motion Cannons
  • Detonation Harness - personal bomb belt for kamikaze and terrorist suicide attacks. Used by Kamikaze troops and suicide attack drones and androids.
  • Standardized Ballistic Ammo Clips - Standardized format for all ballistic ammunition within the Japanese territories.
  • Standardized Energy Storage Cells - Standardized format for all energy storage devices, both stationary and portable, and voltages used within the territories. Few appliances stray from this format. Standardized Energy Storage Cells were developed by the Energy Storage Division and are adaptable to any appliance using the format.
  • SCREAM Cannons - bioweapons using a byproduct of energy cell research: a highly active, energy producing bacteria culture encased within a membrane capsule, feeding on living organisms instead of biowaste like intended for energy production through the normal Energica cultures. Once fired, the bacteria are attracted to any living organisms in the area and propell the capsule towards the target. If the target is reached, the microorganism feed on its lifeforce, killing the host in the process, then move on to the next host. If no host to feed on can be found within active range, the bacteria become inactive and die. A similar weapon was adapted by Omega-XIII as the Merciful Doom.

Biotechnology

Mitsubishi, as a large biotech concern, is the main manufacturer of the bioandroids called Simulated Life Dolls, or SLDs. These serve in a wide variety of uses, such as police duty, firefighting, industry and construction work or office work. Mitsubishi is the sole supplier of SLDs as battle androids to the Imperial Japanese Army and ASDF. Mitsubishi also delivers SLDs for paramilitary purposes to the Syndicate forces (See: Tanker). SLDs are grown out of artificial tissue in special tanks and fed with data over several moth to prepare them for their duty. The great advantage of these humanoid robots is their extreme versatility - a model might only require slight changes to switch it from paramilitary to office duty and vice versa. However, recent events have revealed an unexpected degree of free will in SLD units with long operational history, so users are advised to shut down and dispose of SLDs after being in use for extended time.

Cytaurs

Cytaurs are artificial mechano-organical hybrid creatures. Their organic tissue has been programmed with the DNA of several species with traits useful for these beings. They are grown industrially in breeding vats. Instead of implantation of cybernetic augments, their organic parts grow onto a mechanical structure, which thus is an integral part of their organism they require to survive. The beings, measuring, depending upon requirements, 4m - 15m in size, have four legs mounting a humanoid torso with an incredible small head covered by an iron mask. From the torso, two extremely long and powerful arms protrude. Their skin tone ranges from pale white over green to purple. Cytaurs - the word is a mixture of "Cybernetic" and "Centaur" due to the quadrupedal, yet humanoid appearance fo the beigns - are completely unable to feel any pain or have any free will and should more accurately be seen as "organic machines". They are a similar to SLDs, but with scaled-down interlectual abilities and enhanced physical prowess. Cytaurs can be used in a wide variety, such as in industry, transportation and military (though they tend to be slow and bulky). Sometimes, additional systems, such as a welder, machine gun or metal grappling claws are attached to a Cytaur and the unit given a new routine on how to use their new appendixes. Cytaurs have advanced voice processing and can receive orders by voice command. They can, despite their limited mental functions, process orders related to time intervals, distances, weight and related, very precisely, but are generally not very adaptive and in no way creative or inventive.
