Imperial Star Syndicate/Military

ISS military flag

ISS Military flag (2nd ver) / Coat of Arms

The ISS “Military” was founded months after the foundation of the Imperial Star Syndicate , in the early days, it was made up of a few people armed with Black Market weapons.. but as the syndicate expanded, so did the military, with approximately 500-ish men in a “small regiment”, but they were all spread out in different locations, armed with Black Market weapons, which can be modified via attachments or changing the gun “barrel” via getting parts from the ISS “weapons factory”

The troops of the ISS are under the “military order”, regular training is implemented, examples are physical, mentally, marksmanship, and many more depending the individual’s preference (the 3 mentions they would have to attend no matter the excuse given, unless sick) (for former deserters and untrained militia soldiers, to “improve combat capability”)

The “military” is not even a real military, it’s a militia who’s job is to guard ISS locations, engage in street fights, robbery, heists, and or even a firefight with the authorities or rival gangs

“Radio operators”

Radios are issued to the military of the ISS, as such, there are courses to radio comms for the soldiers that wish to become a radio operator, the courses will be very strict as the smallest error could foil from logistics to causing an entire squadron to be wiped out. It’s use is long distance communications.

Manpower : 70 - 290 (combination of former deserter’s, Mercenaries(for firefights), and untrained people, (who makes the most of the population) (others not mentioned Are “maintenance staff”)

Weaponry : some of these weapons from the black market can be modified, while explosives and gun parts are made in the factory, examples of BM weapons (the arsenal) are :

1. Bolt action rifle or “marksman rifle” (not much purchased as not much gunfights need “long range”)
2. Pistol / Revolver (of any kind)
3. Uzi, Tec-9, “Greaser gun”
4. Shotgun (double barrel or pump action)
5. Assault rifle of a kind (AK47, M16) (not much purchased)
6. Bayonet (regular bayonet & long bayonet)

In the factory, the following are made :

1. Explosives or “C4” or “IED” (heat, remote, fuse)(mostly bought but some can be produced), and Grenades (regular “waffle grenade” (not much produced) and stick grenade)
2. Molotov cocktail
3. Ammunition 
4. Gun parts (for mods, using broken parts or existing parts to “improve it”)
(Not production.) fixing weapons and improving / modifying them
5. (Out of order)

Making explosives clear. General guild of which explosives is for which.

Heat, is for placing under cars or a place of high heat (do not smoke near it)
Remote, usually detonated via phone, or detonator
Fuse, mostly timers, using lighters or generally the Black Market Satchel Charges

Manufacturing supplies

The ISS manufactures radios for a radio and comms network, the radios are “not-so-well” made, as it jams or break down sometimes. Some are bought from the black market if radios are in stock.

Supply and other’s manufactured

1. Radio (poorly made, “type C” & “type K”) (“type C” for comms or “type K” for listening to the to local news and weather, and music) (Stops working or breaks down often, it is rare and lucky to receive a fully working radio domestically produced)
