Starfish Operating Syndicate (Player corporation)

Template:Player Corporation Extended

SFOPS is a Minmatar-based corporation, with aspirations to gain recognition as an individual, self governed tribe.

Originally conceived against the backdrop of the old, Gallente influenced 'Republic,' SFOPS was set up with the goal of promoting a new, more organic and indigineous form of government, one that draws upon the tribal heritage of the Matari nation and forms a structure more at ease with the de-centralised, family-centric lifestyle of the pre-enslavement Minmatar people.

The ultimate goal is to create an independent nation, a new tribe, that exists within its own rules of governance. It was always the intention that this nation would co-exist with the Republic, maintaining a vital link with the rest of the Minmatar race. The recent reforms of the Republic's government has made this even more feasible, the new open border policy of the Republic and the Thukker tribe intimates at exciting prospects for an even closer relationship with the Republic.

As the roots of SFOPS are very much steeped in the Minmatar heritage, it is of course open to all Minmatar. The corporation is also open to any member of the Gallente nation who happen to find our way of life more supportive and embracing than the individualistic tenets of the Federation. They have also been known to accept the odd Caldari.
