	Operating near-autonomously, and often at odds with each other, the Syndicate's various groups unite and cooperate when ideology, profit, or fear bring them together. Most cooperation is outside the field: back-alley trades, gear for guns, postage for hostage, smuggling for a cut. Many above-board economic institutions are mirrored within the Syndicate, almost making them a valid nation, should any body formally recognize them.

-The Tiger Cooperative is the public face of the shadowy Church of the True Angels, a frontier‐born cult that blends militant zeal with forbidden biotech. Purportedly a Syndicate‐aligned logistics and pharmaceutical outfit, Tiger Co-op’s chemical weapons, combat stimulants, and hallucinogenic “Ritual Wine” conceal its true purpose: the worship, cultivation, and weaponization of Changelings as living divinities. Feared even by fellow Syndicate factions, who whisper of cannibalism and blood-soaked ceremonies- Tiger Cooperative cells operate with brutal autonomy across the SolFed Frontier, answering only to their unseen Prophet, the Exarch.

	SolFed is, and will always be, the enemy of a free and fostered people. See [[Guide_to_your_Manifesto]] for details about why an individual Syndicate agent might hate SolFed, but the general Syndicate opposes the Sol Federation. Some factions have moral reasons for hating Sol Fed, other factions just have Sol Fed as an obstacle to their main goal, and others attack SolFed because their buddies in the Syndicate hate 'em. In opposing SolFed, the Syndicate often opposes the member states of SolFed, the cliques and nations and cultures that hold the Federation steady despite crumbling under its rot. The Anti-Librean Activist Fronts have a specific hatred for the [[Lore:SolFed#Libraea\|Librean Federation]], but their anti-corpostate motives often extend to other corporate territories. Nanotrasen, as a successful [[Lore:SolFed#Sovereign_Corporations\|Sovereign Corporation]], is a prominent SolFed "success story," and thus an obvious target for disruption.

	With the SolFed Marshals striking decisive blows against Gorlex, RGAG market research came to one premise, time and time again: "SolFed will no longer be afraid of the Syndicate." Within weeks, the "Syndicate Infiltrator" movie development kit released: "Here is a script outline of a heroic filmmaker, discovering a deep conspiracy surrounding his publishing house. Over the course of the production, the hero elaborates that the Syndicate infiltrated his innocent film studio with a tiny team of evildoers, twisting the film studio into a force of terror. Attached are real Syndicate documents, exposing real grand conspiracies the Roseus Galactic Actors Guild had been forced to be adjacent to. Market research shows that the public will least be willing to trust our quartermaster and our armory division, so your film will set them up as a scapegoat, to blame all Syndicate involvement on. The SolFed Council will be more interested in pursuing these leads and our generous vacation packages than prosecuting the Actors Guild or your local production team. Typecasting, you are encouraged to reach out to local politicians and '''Generously Sponsor''' their cooperation, through product placement, money, and heroic cameos as the Lead SolFed Investigators Who Bust The Syndicate And Save The Day (parts 1 through 6)."

	Within a month, every theater in SolFed had some production based on the script kit, blasting Syndicate secrets into the public zeitgeist. With Gorlex dead, and the SolFed Marshals acting on the freely-given intelligence, the Syndicate could take no meaningful revenge against the Actors Guild. Nominally, the Actors Guild had to pay a fine to SolFed for their Syndicate involvement, but successfully deflected most of the blame onto their arms division, now branded [[#Scarborough_Arms\|Scarborough Arms]]. The RGAG continues to function as the leading galactic media empire empire, though the overall importance of films to the general populace continues to shrink.
