[hider=Kudra Cartel]Nation Name/Flag: Kudra Cartel

Government Type: Narco-state

Demographics: Humans and Xenos

Leadership: Sylvester Kudra and the Kudra family 

Economy: The Economy of the cartel sustains itself via the production, distribution and smuggling of narcotics to other nations and systems.  

Military: The Cartel lacks a professional army but has a large force of “ Sicarios” or cartel assassins that function along the same role. Like any other military, the sicarios are spilt into different groups ranging from drug crazed mobs with guns to highly trained teams of assassins. In terms of vehicles and armament, the cartel uses whatever they can buy from other nations, leading to a large variety of weapons and vehicles to choose from. 

History: The Kudra family grew up in extreme poverty, the patriarch was a human who was exiled from his world and dumped on some backwater planet to die. The elder Kudra was a shrewd and effective character and quickly learned how to survive in this new slum of a planet. Robbery, murder and highjacking were common and the patriarch of the Kudra family excelled at this carefully planned violence. It wasn’t long before he gained his own followers and built an infrastructure around this emerging industry. After another generation Sylvester Kudra’s father, Vitayl Kudra added another facet to the cartel business model, narcotics. Taking advantage of the addiction ever present in the frontier worlds and the joy seeking behaviour of those in the core worlds, narcotics provided a steady stream of income for the Kudra family. After Vitayl stepped down and passed the business to his son Sylvester expanded the business from a single planet to three, increasing production and income in orders of magnitude. Sylvester however has bigger plans for the cartel, he wants to become a narco superpower and is willing to do anything to accomplish that aim.
