Current Projects

The Crimson Concord is constantly running a mix of cultural campaigns, covert operations, and high‑risk experiments designed to keep Passion burning and visible across the galaxy.


Cultural and Media Operations

Across Inner Sphere hubs, the Outer Sphere, and the Frontier, Concord Creative Cells sustain a continuous “cultural offensive.”

Ongoing activities include:

  • Festival circuits and performance arenas modeled on Nova Lux, turning marketplaces and ports into stages for Concord art, duels, and protest theatre.

  • Experience markets and emotional tourism, where thrill‑seekers pay Yoms for curated riots, danger‑shows, and catharsis rituals that double as recruitment and propaganda events.

  • Viral media feeds that remix uprisings, labor struggles, and crackdowns into shareable stories, keeping Passion‑aligned narratives in circulation even in heavily policed infospheres.

Revolutionary Support and Performance Warfare

The Concord continues to back revolts and social movements, especially in the Outer Sphere and unstable Inner Sphere polities.

Common ongoing projects:

  • Advising or seeding local cells in worker unions, student movements, and refugee councils, teaching them how to turn protests into emotionally charged spectacles rather than quiet petitions.

  • Performance Warfare contracts—deniable operations for clients who want regimes humiliated or shaken rather than simply invaded, echoing the same logic that once made them useful (and feared) on the Phoenix Wing and Void 

  • Icon‑making campaigns, elevating particular rebels, artists, or Navigators as living symbols whose stories can anchor future Concord action in a region.

Nova Lux and Heart‑Forge Projects

On Nova Lux and other Passion‑leaning worlds, Concord factions are pushing the boundaries of religion, art, and Rift‑touched experimentation.

Ongoing efforts:

  • Expansion of Nova Lux‑style governance, exporting the “city as festival‑temple” model to other planets and stations that seek a post‑corporate or post‑Accord identity.

  • Heart‑Forge pilgrimages and echo‑studies, where mystics and scientists alike probe psycho‑reactive regions of the Rift for new Passion‑aligned powers, miracles, and weapons—risking Rift‑Taint and disaster.

  • Sanguine Dynasty outreach, embedding their doctrine of emotional birthright into communities as an alternative to rigid hierarchies and technocratic rule.

Covert Presence on the Void Exchange

Although Devotional embassies and fronts were expelled from the Void Exchange by the Edict of Devotional Absence and the later Velvet Ban, Concord sympathizers still work the station in the shadows.

Current patterns:

  • Embedded performers, techs, and therapists who operate as ordinary civilians but pass messages, scout for sympathetic contacts, and occasionally stage “spontaneous” emotional incidents in key districts.

  • Underground media relays that collect gossip, grievances, and surveillance from the Exchange and feed it into Concord propaganda streams elsewhere.

  • Smuggling and logistics links that move people, art, and gear through the Exchange without tripping Devotion‑neutrality enforcement, often via Syndicate or independent middlemen.

Training, Innovation, and Trade

To sustain all of this, the Concord runs a constant churn of training and R&D.

Ongoing work includes:

  • Training camps for Firebrands and Creative Cells, teaching Performance Warfare, memetic design, and festival logistics so that local movements can operate without direct central control.

  • Design labs for Concord tech—sonic weaponry, reactive armor, psychotropic stage rigs—that other factions later copy or buy on the black market.

  • Barter‑heavy trade missions, where Concord agents “turn marketplaces into stages,” leveraging emotional persuasion, spectacle, and collateral goods in place of straightforward price negotiation.

All of these projects keep the Crimson Concord woven into daily life: as entertainers, agitators, therapists, and smugglers of both feelings and forbidden ideas—too useful and too diffuse to erase, even for powers that officially want Passion contained.
