Fiction:Kioskstrum Collective/City Folk/Underground Organizations

Underground Organizations in the Koiskstrum Collective are generally centered on control of gangs, called 'Color Gangs' or Mafia Organizations, called 'Donnies'. There are also Cartrels with traffiking of many illegal substanes, These three underground organizations are supplimented by the legal organizations in return for funding and supplies.

Color Gangs
The Color Gangs are organized by a specific color the gang is named after. For example, the Red Caps or the Black Ties, where gangmembers all wear red or black somewhere on their body respectivly. It doesn't need to be a cap or a tie, thats just what the leader generally wears. In general, Color Gangs are minimally dangerous, rarely killing people and usually just sticking to muggings, and a few gang fights and wars. However, every so often you get a gang that is more dangerous then usual. These gangs are called Firework Gangs, due to their unpredictable and aggressive natures. An example of a Firework Gang would be the Silver Foxes, who are noctorious for their absolute lack of rules and restrictions in battle.

Notable Color Gangs

 * Silver Fox Gang - The Silver Foxes are by far the most ruthless of the Color Gangs. They aren't above killing people, regardless of age, gender, species, or class, and often do so in the most brutal of ways (a recent victim was bled out after having a major artery cut). They are feared by all but the Koins, who have in many cases worked together anonamusly to protect each other and others from the Foxes. The leader of the Foxes is rumored to be a former Mafia Overlord and many believe him to the legendary Blackjack, who vanished several years before the gangs founing.
 * Black Tie Gang - The Black Ties are a small, focused gang of individuals who are known to be exceptionally dangerous. All of it's members are rumored to be former leaders and strongmen from other gangs, an the results the Ties get are more then enough to confirm this in many peoples eyes. The leader of the Black Ties is unknown, only ever seen or heard through a holo.
 * Green Diamond Gang - The Green Diamonds are notable only for their sheer size. They are the largest open gang in the collective, making them a force few would dare oppose, the Koins and Silver Foxes among those few. They are otherwise unoteworthy.
 * Koin Gang - Known for it's mysterious nature and lack of a labled color, members of this gang can be almost anyone. Teachers, Parents, that guy you somehow cut off despite being in a flying vehicle, anyone at all. They have no tules, no restrictions, and no leadership. Indeed, there are very few people who actually know who the leader an founder really is. Unlike most gangs, which have physical connections between people, plants, and cities, the Koin Gang only ever communicates anomalously over the forest, with each subgroup within the gang deciding things on their own without the aid of other groups. It is rare that the leader posts something, but he does so occasionally.

Donnies
Donnies are the Mafia Kingdomes that exist between the street thugs of the Color Gangs and the borderline nobility of the above ground world. They are ALWAYS led by wealthy, powerful individuals who live like kings in their palaces of political wormholes and flat out bribes. They are never above killing, but do so in manners well controlled and well hidden. They are generally a go between for the Cartels and the upper world of big business. They are also money lenders, and money retrievers.

Notable Donnies

 * Donnie of Farae - The planet of Farae is under the absolute control of the Farae Donnie, a powerful and dangerous group that has succesfully taken control of both the Color Gangs and the Cartrels of Farae. They have gotten to the point where only the protection of big corporations keeps them from being labled enemies of the people.
 * Kings Donnie - Called Kings Donnie because it is said to be lead by the descendants of an monarchic empire assimilated into the Collective several generations ago. It is one of the few officially recognized and targeted Donnies in the Collective, but has so far been able to hold it's own against the governments limited efforts to destroy it.

Cartrels
Cartrels† are organizations that gather resources of ANY kind and sell them to the highest bidder. Often called the scum of the earth by Color Gangs and Donnies alike, they nonetheless work with both to gather the needed resources. Despite working with Color Gangs and Donnies, the Cartrels are often in conflict with them due to 'overlaying interests' namely the desire for an increased income that neither the Colors nor the Donnies are willing to support. While most Cartrels stick with simple resources like bodies, weapons, or drugs, some get into the information business, which hold high risk and high rewards.
