IC Heirarchy:
PRESIDENT - Sigourney Xanthius
The prez is the leader of the Red Ravens. They are the clubs figurehead and are usually the spokesperson when dealing with the authorities or the media. The prez is the chairperson at club meetings and represents the Ravens at interstellar meetings.
VICE PRESIDENT - Lysle of the Hydian Way
The vice president is second in charge and fills in when the president is away. The vice prez is often the heir apparent to the clubs leadership although this isn’t always the case. It’s their job to make sure that matters passed at meetings are carried out satisfactorily.
SECRETARY - Cryax Bane
The secretary is responsible for the clubs paperwork. They keeps minutes of meetings and records dates of significant events. They correspond with other criminal organisations and it’s their job to keep members informed of upcoming events. The secretary is usually responsible for keeping records of Raven assets although the treasurer will do this in most cases.
TREASURER - Daxton Bane
The treasurer is the Ravens money-man and they're in charge of collecting fees, running funds and paying the bills. The treasurer is responsible for collecting any debts owed to the Ravens and usually gets the job of checking out business opportunities prior to any decisions being made.
Note: The positions of secretary and treasurer work closely together.
SERGEANT AT ARMS - Colap Ticon
The sergeant at arms is basically the Ravens “policeman” although most would not like to be referred to in this way! They enforce Raven procedures and maintains order at Raven meetings. The sergeant is in charge of security at Raven events and they're responsible for attacks on rivals. The sergeant looks after the Ravens firearms and other weapons.

Description:
The Red Ravens is a criminal syndicate operating out of Antecedent. Their reach stretches far, with compounds and warehouses located off-planet on Via and the Colluctari Nebula to avoid the authorities. Located specifically on Ground Zero in Little Coruscant at the Dragon Palace Casino, from here Sigourney's puppet Lysle performs all the inner workings of the Red Ravens. The mastermind that informs the gun.
With a variety of operations such as smuggling runs, bounties, assassination, espionage and slicing, the Red Ravens have proven that they're not joking around in their attempts to control and dominate the criminal underworld. They have performed key movements from mass-recruiting the civilian population on Nar Shaddaa, capture of key figures in the Nova Outbound to the public assassination of Black Sun crime bosses.
The Dragon Palace Casino hides under the facade of a legitimate business that is ultimately controlled by Lysle and his henchmen. Getting in and out of this fortress of thugs, gangsters and hired mercenaries is more than a handful for even some of the most talented. Authorities don't have the hard evidence or the numbers to attempt to crack open the vault of illegal activities that seeps from the casino.
As their multi-billionaire business expands, they're beginning to bribe their way into governmental positions. Already politicians have fallen to their illicit dealings and offering of credits and spices. Private military firms have been hired and swayed under their control, no longer simply a gang, they have the influence of an army and a government. They had well surpassed the Hutt Cartel, a legacy lasting countless millennium that now fades with the setting sun, and soon too will the Black Sun set as a red dawn rises.
One notable theme running through the ranks of the Red Ravens is an unshakable loyalty. Unlike other criminal enterprises who run rampant with snitches and turncoats, the Ravens take care of their own and see their members as invaluable, not expendable. Potential Raven members are identified early on in their own criminal careers and then sought out for highly specialized skills and personalities. Once new Ravens are taken into the fold, they quickly become trained up to be key players in the organization, not just lackeys waiting to get a piece of the action.
Another facet that sets the Red Ravens apart is the sheer variety of criminal types the organization attracts. From the charasmatic faces that do the wheeling and dealing on the casino floor, to hardened weapons experts and battle-tested warriors who provide the the firepower, muscle, tactics, and backup. Last but not least, there is the Ravens’ lineup of slicers who use the highest level of code-breaking technical prowess to find and exploit a company or person’s most guarded digital secrets, as well as outfit the Ravens on Cryptnet servers with next-gen anti-slicing measures.
The Ravens own the police. They own the security that you pay for. They own the secretary working for the highest official in the government. Their purpose is to be in everyone's business and to keep tabs on everybody. Being the silent rulers of the worlds, but allowing their governments to stay in tact. They will be the little devil in the persons ear telling them what to do, and how to do it so others can play right into their hands for them to crush them physically with money, or simply threats of doing one, or the other, or both.

Chiasa Kritivaas said:Because we are not only engaging our own members in active story-lines and character progression, we are engaging every player on the board who reaches out to us or who we have actually reached out to because their character has useful skills in some way. Because we are so varied and so creative that almost everyone is useful to us. Because with the writers we have, there is a very strong chance that major or minor we will strongly impact the entire board.
And I remember a question about why the Board needed two criminal factions.. What's the point of a criminal faction with no real rivals? Thats like Jedi without Sith. Conflict causes growth, and oh boys will things be growing around here
