Francone Family Syndicate
A family-run syndicate comprising ~30% of the territory of San Salvo. Their businesses are scattered around. they extort + flip businesses with previous loyalties. so at some Union places, if you flash a Francone badge, they'll still sell to you. Character of the family ranges, but overall it's the Sopranos/Corleone vibe - some comedy relief mobsters whose evils mostly amount to extortion and thievery.
Members of the Francone family aren't hard to find. it's a big family. one might offer you a discount on "exotic goods" stolen from other districts. They have something of a thieves guild (carrying a Francone license means you wont get thieved). Like the franky family, they do a lot of chopping and stealing. They steal a lot of inventions (both the physical inventions and do patent infringement) from RIG.
Francone Shipyards - Fastest ships. quick height alteration. beast hunting. electricity harvesting.
And a docks, too. They photograph every ship that lands (and charge you for the cost of the photograph) for the sake of their records. they use this to prove to the authorities that your ship didn't go missing.
"the chargers" is the code name for Dante Toretto's (M 50, dwarf). crew. They'll come out to meet you outside the thaig (boat-to-boat) to pick up hot ships.
Cinque Ordnance - Explosive specicalists. make the knockoff boarding suits (less armor, better thrust)
Stretto Arms - Piercing weapon specialists (ballista, harpoons, spears). Armor-piercing rounds.
San Salvan Combat Gear - They make armor/belts. they also cooperate with Cinque on the knockoff boarding suits.
Mercini Traders) - trade and stock management
Burbero Slagworks - power facility, burning slag.
The Julien Inn - hotel in Ammasso. Can set you up with a temp license.
Sal's Shivs and Sabres - Marco DiStefano, m, dwarf. a real salesman. also a great blade crafter.
Knuckles Pool hall
Arcadian Bounty - Agricultural development enterprise. gaining benefits from the food like endurance, etc. Make a drink called Aquasetti. "its safe!"
Unincoporated street theives - won't steal from folks with Francone licenses.
Don Vito Francone M, 99. Don of the familiy. He does whatever is necessary to keep the family afloat. A few generations back, the family uprooted from aquila and set out to make a new home. There's no cost too great to pay for the family's continued success.
Vito's late wife Maria Francone
Toni Francone M, 65. First kid of Vito's. Recently (very recently) brought in on the knowledge of their involvement with the feds. he probably saw it, and asked vito and got the truth that way. He manages the syndicate holdings (all the companies and how the 'guild' works). Heavy is the head that wears the crown - or in this case handles the day to day for the crown.
Deonna Francone F, 64, wife of Toni's. Married in.
Gioi Francone M 62. Second son of Vito's. Manages the Docks. Toretto's boss. brings in a lot of money for the family. second fiddle to Toni. Would NEVER work with the feds. (maybe a scar there, like a late wife lost due to fed stuff? Maybe his fury is directed toward the Union?
Ginni Francone F 61, wife of Gioi's. Married in.
Tommi Francone M 34 (tommaso). Eldest son in the current generation of Francone's. Son of Toni and Deonna. Expecting to shoulder a lot fo the weight of the family in the future. Does a lot of flipping businesses for the syndicate.

history:
They left Aquila during the old clan wars, as having a shipbuilding port that their enemies could run to eliminated their shipbuilding advantage.Secretly
the top of the family has made certain deals with The Feds. It's allowed him to keep their position here. One or two of the younger family members are smuggling weapons to the CDA, and opposing the feds here (worried the family will hear that they support Unification). At the end of the day, they're still making ships that the feds + companies use. they're not an overall boon to the resistance. This CDA sympathizer should have recently been seen in Aquila, or a rumor of them coming back from it. **happening / job**. In and among those two polarizing family members are the comedy mobsters. or their goons are the comedy mobsters. (Corleones had fredo, santino, and michael - there's room for all kinds).FFS - Francone Family Syndicate)
