The Black Parade
The Black Parade is a Kamerian Partisan cell found in multiple chapters across the country. Primarily in the major cities. They embody the grief of those living under occupation, and give it voice in the form of guerilla warfare. Most of what they do involves information warfare, but they also conduct physical raids to this end.
One of their favorite tactics is to disrupt Bardonese propaganda broadcasts. If they can't hijack the signal, they'll simply jam it. This is known as "taking it back" and "painting it black" respectively in their internal jargon. In their spare time (or if they're not quite brave enough to participate more directly), they'll take to their computers and dig up dirt on local authority figures or collaborators. They might even skim or sabotage military communications.
If The Black Parade succeeds in taking a broadcast back, they'll often inject the broadcast with information the Bardonese would prefer remain out of the public eye. In a way, forcing them to broadcast their own secrets right on their own networks. Recent acts of oppression and cruelty, photos and names of those cut down by the occupiers, or sensitive information that can be used by other partisan cells. Those memorialized are often the same deaths that pushed the saboteur to join The Black Parade in the first place. If not that, the saboteur may put up the name and face of a friend's lost love one.
Of course, none of this is to say The Black Parade doesn't fight more physical fights. After all, the most valuable of information is always the most heavily guarded. The Black Parade is no stranger to organizing strike teams to raid server rooms, steal documents, or even just sabotage the beacon screens that now occupy so many Kamerian street corners.
Modus Operandi
Just about everyone who is in The Black Parade has something to grieve for. Weary widows and widowers who watched their spouse's execution. The children (and sometimes parents) of other Partisans who fell before them. Young adults who watched their dreams and futures get decimated by the invasion. Whatever they may have lost, the marchers don blackened parade uniforms (and/or funerary clothing), take up whatever arms are available to them, and fight the Cross-Ekonic War on the information front.One of their favorite tactics is to disrupt Bardonese propaganda broadcasts.
