エンジェル・カルテルｰ Angel Cartel - EVE Online 箱庭宇宙の構成分子

エンジェル・カルテルは、Curseリージョンの中心部で活動しており、現在では宇宙を拠点にした犯罪組織の中で最大かつ最も組織力のある組織となっている。エンジェル・カルテルはいくつかのグループに分かれており、それぞれが非常に特殊な機能を持っている。

彼らはドミネーションズによって指揮されており、彼らが深宇宙に潜んでいた1世紀の間に、数え切れないほどの船を盗み、略奪し、妨害し、何千人もの人々を苦しめ、誘拐し、殺害してきた。

エンジェル・カルテルはあらゆる種族からメンバーを集めているため、一つの活動地域に縛られることなく、ほぼ全世界に渡って活動している。エンジェル・カルテルが力を得たのは、現在彼らが巣くう、ジョヴ人のかつての住処に隠されていたテクノロジーを発見したためだと一般的には考えられている。

The Angel Cartel

The Angel Cartel is regarded by many law enforcement agencies as the most powerful and dangerous criminal organization in New Eden. The main reason for this assessment is the extent and scope of the cartel’s criminal activities. While most of the major outlaw factions have operations spread throughout the cluster, the Angel Cartel is notable for the extent to which it has insinuated itself into the core empires, as well as its considerable interests in the outer regions. Few other criminal organizations, for example, could boast of strong links with the Minmatar underworld while at the same time illicitly supplying slaves to the less scrupulous holders of the Amarr Empire. When these interests are set next to the cartel’s powerful presence in the Gallente illegal drugs market and the sinister tendrils it has inserted into the Caldari corporate world, it can be seen that the Angels’ reach is long indeed.

The cartel has established itself as a power in the lawless outer regions, in particular the aptly named Curse region, where it controls numerous stations and colonies. The impressive military power of the cartel is perhaps most strikingly illustrated by the fact that it has an entire division, the Guardian Angels, dedicated to protecting the interests of its main partner in crime, the Serpentis Corporation. The connection with the Serpentis has served to give the Angels a permanent presence in the Fountain region, making the cartel one of the few criminal organizations to maintain major holdings outside its home region.

The Angel Cartel’s reputation for ruthlessness and brutality has served to prevent interested parties from scrutinizing the organization’s operations too closely, but those who have, perhaps foolishly, made it their business to study the cartel soon learn that it is more than a mere crime syndicate. The cartel has shown a marked interest in technologies new and ancient. It has made its headquarters in a region believed to have been the home of the First and Second Jovian Empires, and it typically discourages exploration and inquiry into its domains with a swift and absolute response. All this said, those students of the Angel Cartel who have survived long enough to put their thoughts on paper all agree on one point of note: the Angel Cartel seems to regard capsuleers as its greatest threat, not rival pirate groups and certainly not the old empires.
