Editing Myosho-Shintar Experiment (section)

====The Nivosis Gang====
''Brutal Criminal Fleet''<br>
These pirates don't prey on the major shipping lanes of the Myosho Consortium - too well patrolled. Instead, they tend to target the spurs and last-mile hauls, never striking in the same place twice. They don't pull down the same massive heists that some of the other pirate gangs do, but they also don't end up in a shootout with state forces either. They seem to have an almost eerie ability to know when a freighter or convoy won't be sufficiently guarded.

The Nivosis Gang has definitely originated in Myosho space with all that entails. Almost all of them are intimately connected in some manner with the Myosho. They will sometimes strike at shipping outside the boundaries of Myosho space, but the pattern of their attacks would certainly seem to indicate that their home base or bases are within the Consortium.

Their attack pattern usually involves showing up with enough force to trivially overwhelm whatever merchant convoy they're intending on hitting - usually one that tried to skimp on escorts in order to save a dime or two. Any show of resistance involves a ship being blown to bits and a repeat of the demand to surrender and turn over their cargoes or ships. They usually don't exhibit any particular tactical brilliance, although there are rumors floating about of one squadron captain who will sometimes put on a show.

The organization of the gang is relatively loose. Ship squadrons are organized by captains who are responsible for the maintenance and administration of their squadron and also responsible for any losses. This means that squadrons will frequently impress captured spacers or ships into service in order to gain in power, prestige, and capability. Mutiny is not terrible uncommon. Each squadron captain is fed intelligence on ripe targets from the Gang's leaders, but they are forbidden from making direct contact with other squadrons outside of specific contexts in order to prevent the few raids that do go wrong from bringing down the whole operation.
