Tenloss Syndicate Standard Operating Procedures

Unlike a cartel, which focuses on a specific criminal activity, a syndicate attempts to control as many diverse criminal operations as possible. To this end, through intimidation, bribery, cajolery, and duplicity, the Tenloss Syndicate has forged a complex assortment of lesser criminal groups under its dominion. This is so largely due to the Syndicate's set of three "business principles" which it never deviates from. These principles, summarized below, form the basis for Tenloss's dealings with other criminal groups in the fringe:

  • Equal risks, equal profits: Every member of the syndicate shall contribute equally to a syndicate operation. Each shall receive equal shares in the profits realized from that operation.
  • Hostages equal insurance: Any organization seeking to join the syndicate must be willing to offer guarantees of goodwill in the form of personal hostages selected by the board of directors. THey serve as a form of "performance bond" on the part of the organization's leadership.
  • Instant repreisal for betrayal: Any member of the syndicate proven to have betrayed the common good of the organization will be summarily punished without delay or appeal.

    Baradis uses an exclusive private school as a front for a covert criminal training system. Anyone needing to acquire specific skills in order to carry out a given crime comes to Baradis. At another level of activity, Baradis executives work to promote cooperation between rival gangs by providing administrative support aimed at a pooling of criminal resources.

    Friij News Services

    Homeworld: Friijillis, Dail sector
    A secretly Hutt-sponsored news network which covertly serves as a clearing house for information and illegal data acquisition and replication.

    Homeworld: Lucrenn, Skine sector
    A "mass-market" fencing operation that maintains close ties with various smuggler guilds. Owns and operates several secret asteroid storage bases throughout the sector.

    Natori Association

    Homeworld: Sperin, Bajic sector
    A loose collection of ex-military personnel banded together to train mercenaries for hire. Working from a secret base in the Palaquin system, they train recruits in a rigorous program which most candidates "permanently wash out." Natori has become a successful rival of other groups like the Ragnar Syndicate given their willingness to emply non-Human specialty shock teams at low rates (often undercutting the competition).

    With numerous ties to several smuggling guilds throughout the Rim, Ororo acts as the principle distributer of illegal merchandise for other Tenloss operations in over 100 star systems.

A collection agency which "guarantees injuries," this group tracks down debtors anywhere in the galaxy and makes them pay "one way or the other." Relekin is not averse to employing bounty hunters for more important assignments. For this reason, many wealthy crime bosses use Relekin to post illegal bounties.
