The True Faith

The True Faith (Neokaans: d'Ware Geloofs Genootskap, dWGG) is a belief system and doomsday cult founded by Sarie Daalman in 2959. The core of the True Faith is in Astro-Vedanta, with strong influence from the teachings of Nazih Nazari (2781-2872), a militant azami cultist from Draconis Combine, and the revolutionary texts attributed to Jeanette Marik (2766 - 2837).

Eks gemanifesteerde goddelikheid, ongemanifiseerde goddelikheid, and Transendente goddelikheid. Eks d'Leegte en eks d'Sterre en eks d'Planete. Eks almal gelowe en eks almal samelewings en eks almal waarhede. Eks bo d'staal en bo d'plastiek en bo d'vonk. Eks niks en eks alles en eks Shiva.

I am Manifest Divinity, Unmanifest Divinity, and Transcendent Divinity. I am the Void and I am the Stars and I am the Planets. I am all Beliefs and I am all Societies and I am all Truths. I am above the Steel and above the Plastic and above the Spark. I am nothing and and I am everything and I am Shiva.

- The Creed of Sarie-Guru

Sarie Daalman claimed that she sought to restore the soul of humanity which has been trapped by technology and machines. The unity of all men is supposed to emerge in two steps; first all men will be united under one leadership, and then the united mankind will destroy all technology and ascend to a higher level of existence.

The dWGG has made several bombing and firebombing/arson campaigns against technology- and space-related facilities, both corporate and government-owned. Along with the complex and tightly coordinated short campaigns the dWGG is connected to a countless number of singular events, with the rate of attacks growing steadily since the beginning of the current crisis. Majority of all dWGG connected attacks have been against infrastructure and high tech equipment, but high profile persons have also been targets. The government has been unable to connect any of the high-level dWGG leaders to the attacks since the arrest and execution of Danka Daalman, a granddaughter of Sarie Daalman, in 3017.

A known dWGG "preacher" Keith Witbehn was shot and killed aboard the FWLM dropship Lowhawk in 3024. Lowhawk was transporting civilian evacuees from Wolof III, and was docking into a jumpship when the FWLM ship security was alerted by other travelers. Witbehn was arming a homemade explosive device attached to the hull of the dropship when security troopers found him. Media sources found a recorded statement which indicates the the IED was supposed to explode at the time of the jump, with possibly catastrophic consequences for the jumpship and all dropships attached to it.

Modus operandi:

Singular terrorist attack (IED, arson), Multiple attack terrorist campaigns (IED, arson) against high profile technology/space-related organizations and facilities.

Risk assessment:

Risk for personnel: Possible, minor. Possible attack could cause the death of several members of the regiment. Managed with usual personnel movement restrictions and with controlled security zones in the base. Risk for high profile personnel is íncreased.

Risk for equipment: Unlikely, moderate. Possible attack could cause severe damage or even destroy a single BattleMech. Managed with controlled security zones in the base.

Risk for operations: Rare, insignificant. Even while the dWGG has shown capability for complex operations, no evidence is shown for the dWGG to be capable of conducting military operations against mechanized force. Also the risk for dWGG to be able to disturb regimental operations is deemed to be low.

The Goodwill League

The Goodwill League is an organized crime syndicate active in Wolof III. There is at least 30 different major criminal groups associated to the League, with 3 of them having interstellar connections. Criminals of the various "member groups" are either members of "mafia-like" groups, former prison members, corrupt officials and business leaders or gang members.

While the Goodwill League has no clear structure or unambiguous leadership, the general understanding is that the two rival crime groups, the Velika Obitelj and the d'Familiestam Otterlo have indirect control in the affairs of the League.

Velika Obitelj

The "big family" started in 2719 when thousands of immigrants were brought from the neighboring planet of Valil'yevskiy to work in the mining industry. The poor and abused "yevskians" searched protection from the exploiting corporations and formed "labour unions". These groups resorted to crime to gain resources and reputation, and in time - after countless decades of infighting - started to cooperate and finally unite. The yevskian ethnic background is still dominating the members of the Velika Obitelj. The Velika Obitelj is commoncly associated with all kinds of "gang crimes".

d'Familiestam Otterlo

The "Otterlo tribe" is a tight association of smaller criminal groups (the tribes) that share a common organisational structure and code of conduct. Each tribe is in charge of a territory, usually a district of a city. Its members call themselves jagters, or "hunters". The Otterlo tribe is known for its activities in protection racketeering, corporate espionage, loansharking and money laundering. The Otterlo tribe is known to have deep and diverse connections to various branches of government and corporations.

Modus operandi:

Syndicate is known to practice: theft, extortion, contract killing, corporate espionage, smuggling, manufacturing controlled substances, loansharking, blackmailing, illegal gambling, prostitution, arms trafficking, money laundering, bribery, military equipment smuggling, providing illegal immigration and cheap labor and trafficking in human beings.

Risk assessment:

Risk for personnel: Likely, minor. Threats against personnel are mostly due to the wide array of criminal activities, which may involve members of the regiment as victims or as participants (f.e. as customers for illegal services).

Risk for equipment: Possible, moderate. Theft and sabotage form the most probable risks for equipment.

Risk for operations: Rare, minor.

The White Brigade

The White Brigade is a separatist militant group that is deeply connected to the more political White Movement. White Movement has been the de facto governing authority of the Drakensberg since 2972, and a large number of personnel is involved both in the White Brigade and the Drakensberg Security Force, the semi-official law enforcement agency of the "independent" Drakensberg. The White Brigade was founded in 2956 together with the White Movement, when disillusioned Wolofian soldiers returned from the lackluster FWLM operation KILLING STROKE.

The White Bridage has launched countless attacks against federal law enforcement and military units, often describing them as retaliatory, in particular for assassinations of the upper echelon of their leadership. Tactics have included bombings, commando strikes and artillery rocket attacks. Small number of attacks made by highly coordinated mechanized forces have also been credited to the White Brigade. The attacks have resulted in a number of civilian casualties, and they have been condemned as war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The White Brigade aims to liberate first Drakensberg and then Wolof from the "occupation by the criminal federalites" by attacking the structure and officials of the federation. The Brigade has declared a war against all enemy personnel, with the goal of destroying hostile military forces, making the enemy's financial interests in the country unprofitable, and create a situation ungovernable by external rule.

Modus operandi:

Revolutionary military operations ranging from terrorist bombings and assassinations to direct military operations.

Risk assessment:

Risk for personnel: Possible, moderate. Possible attack could cause the death of several members of the regiment. Managed with usual personnel movement restrictions and with controlled security zones in the base. Risk for attacks targeting high profile personnel is íncreased.

Risk for equipment: Possible, moderate. Theft and sabotage form the most probable risks for equipment.

Risk for operations: Likely, major. The White Brigade is the most plausible force capable of military operations against the Regiment.
