Imperial Star Syndicate
The Imperial Star Syndicate (I.S.S.) was founded in a basement or trailer somewhere outside of Tiberias, Alduria. It was founded by Victor del Zuev and five others.
In its early days, Victor and his men would be very cautious and sell street drugs, over the time when he had enough money from street drug sales and other sources, he'd planned big. He'd vision a secret underground tunnel from Tiberias to Vandia-Levi, where most imported goods are banned.
By this time, Victor had established himself as the grand leader of the I.S.S. and had organised small militia groups who were equipped with black market weapons and equipment. He began the digging at another area. From a large basement, his men dug for days upon days upon days. When it was three months in, the tunnel had seen improvement; there was ventilation, lights, and even a working minecart system. They disposed the dirt in many ways:
- dumping little amounts into the river.
- selling it to companies who are smart enough not to ask where all the dirt came from.
- and probably the most screwed up version... digging up fresh bodies from graveyards, filling the coffin with dirt, placing it back in and filling it up, and selling the corpse to morgues smart enough not to ask where the fresh body came from...
Over the course of eight months, with no power tools to avoid suspicion, his tunnel was completed with even a travel system, like an underground train, except it was a minecart with lights and a breaker.
His tunnel was completed, smugglers contacted, and banned goods began coming into Tiberias. And the tunnel itself was Victor's new life source; if it collapsed, it would ruin him forever, so he began reinforcing the tunnel and delivering goods at the same time...
No-one from the public knew his tunnel and no-one knows how the banned goods suddenly popped out of nowhere... yet.
