Abyss Watchers Organisation Composition
Note: The Organisation is further divided up than presented here. The following is simply a rough examination and explanation:
Abyss Watchers (Core)
The Core of the Abyss Watchers, consisting of the Council and all assets and personel not bound or assigned to any specific assignment,
Abyss Watchers (Intelligence)
The intelligence arm of the Abyss Watchers exclusively assigned to gathering information to be used by all other branches of the Abyss Watchers. Has considerable overlap with the criminal arm of the Abyss Watchers.
Abyss Watchers/Duskblades/Nebula Hoppers/Krayt Claws/Nerf-Herders*/Free-Traders**/Etc. (Crime)
The criminal arm of the Abyss Watchers is actually divided into a large number of gangs and smaller organisations for ease of managment and to seperate the name 'Abyss Watchers' from the activities. Of course, the gang members are actually Abyss Watcher members or at least on their payroll. The criminal activities consist mostly of light crime ranging from illegal gambling, smuggling and various cons to things like protection rackets (which actually are then treated fairly and seriously) as most 'hard crimes' are generaly avoided. Especially slavery and spice trade of harmful narcotics are avoided like the plague due to the damage it causes to societies. Half-dead druggies and slaves aren't productive members of society.
*The Nerf-Herders are in fact a group of traders making their credits with supplying spacebound and remote Shadowports with basic supplies and necessities ranging from food, medicine, and so on to fuel and construction materials.
**A smuggling group that originated from Ciarans attempts to bypass the various blockaded traderoutes. The Free-Trader name originates from it, as they originaly did not smuggle illegal goods.
Abyss Watchers (Mercenaries)
The one group most people will think about when they hear the name 'Abyss Watchers'. A elite mercenary group evolved out of the Abyss Watchers thugs and enforcers who nowadays handle a lot of work ranging from guard duty, assaults, reinforcement of law-enforcement, occasional bounty hunts and whatever else. They do have high standards when it comes to employer though.
Ciaran Holdings (Economy)
The economic branch of the Abyss Watchers consisting of most companies owned or partially owned by Ciaran. Although some of the more questionable companies that would reflect unfavorably on Ciarans public persona or reveal how far her influence truly goes are owned by proxies via shell companies.
-
Karada Corporation (Medicine)
The Karada Corporation falls under Ciaran Holdings and is directly owned by Ciaran as being associated with a Medical Corporation that supplies various charity and refugee organisations reflects good on her. The Karada Corporation meanwhile is split into two groups though, as one part is handling the production and research of commercialy sold medicine and supplies and the other handles research and supply for the various branches of the Abyss Watchers.
Ciaran Foundation (Charity)
A Foundation funded by Ciaran tasked with aiding and organising charity/humanitarian organisations and events.
-
Silver Cross (Charity)
Ciarans personal Humanitarian organisation which not only aids war-torn worlds, refugees, the poor and everyone else who needs humanitarian aid, but is also used as cover by the Abyss Watchers to avoid suspicion and enter active warzones.
Versuch Labs
Semi-Legal labs dedicated to the study and experimentative treatment of unusual diseases. The 'patients' are those who can't afford treatment elsewhere and where the Silver Cross is not equipped to deal efficiently with the disease or injuries in question. On one hand the treatments are as a fact experimental, but on the other hand fully voluntary, the patients are being paid generous sums and the scientists and doctors are genuinely dedicated to healing the patients and go out of their way to avert lethal outcomes of the experiments.
