-The Guild itself is an unusual entity that doesn't seem to fall neatly into any category. One could perhaps sum them up as an egalitarian organization advocating machine rights, or perhaps a smuggling cartel. Alternatively, the names "freedom fighters", "terrorists", "profiteers", "abolitionists", "liberators", and "criminals" have all been attributed to them at one point or another.+The Guild itself is an unusual entity that doesn't seem to fall neatly into any category.

 The Guild's more unsavory connections allows it a much more in-depth access to the black market than most authorities can afford. This access is currently being used to aggressively hunt down and abolish what remains of the slave trading industry on Nepleslia, Halna, and the various outlying independent worlds. A few agents have even been sent out as far as the 5XF operational zone, especially around the Lorath and Helashio worlds. The Guild's more unsavory connections allows it a much more in-depth access to the black market than most authorities can afford.

-However, such extensive operations do not come cheaply, something that the machine leadership has naturally predicted and already begun alleviating. The Guild is aggressively pursuing a takeover of all "Free Trade" (a euphemism for all trade unsanctioned and unregulated by national authorities, alternatively known as black markets) in known space. They have been moving in force to take over a large number of profitable yet unorganized operations, including but not limited to: drug production, espionage, goods fencing, extortion, smuggling, and so on. While they have been very systematic in taking over unorganized or smaller-scale operations the Guild has thus far avoided encroaching on the operations of any organization that could put up a serious resistance, whether government or mafia cartel. Still, the large upset in power among the criminal sector has upset quite a number of individuals on both sides of the fence.+However, such extensive operations do not come cheaply, something that the machine leadership has naturally predicted and already begun alleviating.
