Factions of Another Earth: The Syndicate
During the early part of the 2070’s the Yakuza families that had set up in Chicago clashed in a bloody, protracted war. Of the seven families that existed at the start of the war, only three remained afterwards. Of those three the Syndicate is by far the strongest and has spent the years since the end of the Yakuza Wars establishing their dominance over nearly every facet of organized crime in Chicago. They have become so powerful that many of their operations hardly have to cover up their activities. The Syndicate operates out of the Sanguine Rose, the premiere brothel and night club in Chicago, located on the mid level near the Japanese memorial square.
Despite their fearsome reputation, which is well deserved, the Syndicate operates under traditional Yakuza tendencies, such as forbidding its members from the activity of petty thievery as this would be a trespass against the community. Their most profitable activity is trafficking of Glimmerdust, a highly addictive combination of opiates and pixie wing dust. The Syndicate works to keep street violence in Old Towne under control, for which they collect a ‘tax’ from local shop owners and residents at times. Most happily pay this fee as the street gangs of Old Towne would quickly get out of hand if not for the Syndicate.
