Thistle
A radical eco-terrorist group based on Shanxi, who oppose the incorporation of Shanxi into the Asmaran Federation. They've been involved in multiple attacks on Federation outposts, and have disrupted numerous talks between the Shanxi Trust and the Federation.
The group points to the terrible working conditions on Tangah, the exploitation of miners in the Vesta Belt, and the rapid industrialization of Torres to prove the intent of the Federation: to exploit Shanxi for its resources, with no thought for repercussions.
Little is known about their base of operations or their size of their membership, but they have an alarming base of support from Shanxi citizens. The group's leader and founder, Jeremiah Price, has gone on record stating that if the Trust were to ever officially sign off on incorporation into the Federation, Thistle would be at the forefront of a swift civil war.
