History & Background (Dossier)

It was founded by conservative nobles in 1135 to better prepare the Regency for the coming onslaught of Virus. Through popular clubs and membership drives it enlisted tens of millions of Regency citizens, and operated education programs that disseminated information about Virus and increased popular support for the new Regency government. But it soon became disenchanted with Norris' liberal reforms and unwillingness to back traditional Imperial repression of pro-democracy movements like the Ine Givar. It also became a rallying point for Exterminationists and hardline elements of the Regency military. After it tried to coopt Norris' Flame imagery, and began creating armed cells in resistance to the Representational Reforms, the group was outlawed, and became the main resistance to reform. As the Representational Reforms became more popular, the movement lost most of its public support, and it became increasingly violent. The failed Blacklight Plot exposed many of its primary members, and arrests and executions marginalised it further. The group has toned down its violent rhetoric in recent years, though its alliance with some members of the Vargr Pack have become worrisome.
