-Their membership started small in a Kyoto locale from the efforts of a few former antiwar protestors, but since then has blossomed thanks to fervent (But careful) recruitment efforts relying on a front-end and a back-end. The front end group is the face, and generally doesn't know much about the back-end (Read: the augmented ones) besides promises of glory and ascendance. The front-end communicates through open, clear channels, but the back-end relies on in-house courier services to deliver the most crucial messages, or rely on code that can be mistaken for small talk. Recruitment is gained through canvassers in public spaces or door-to-door preaching, with the odd radio broadcast and advertisement peppered throughout standard media. They also have their own radio station and TV channel, but all of the content is in-house propaganda. And the occasional cooking show and "Living without Aether" environmental home and garden shows. Their membership stretches between different walks of life, appealing to both the down-on-hard-times poor man to the well-to-do business owner who wants more from their life. While the members are predominantly Yamatian, the values and beliefs appeal to those living in the other nations affected by the NMX and SMX wars.+Their membership started small in a Kyoto locale from the efforts of a few former antiwar protestors, but since then has blossomed thanks to fervent (But careful) recruitment efforts relying on a front-end and a back-end.

-When a group in a particular area is small, all efforts are focuse on small-time recruitment. But, with larger groups comes more strident efforts in arming members. Oftentimes, they'll buy up any NMX scrap and turn it into reasonably-functional pieces, though oftentimes they have to supplement the parts with other tech they can find. Bits of everything the NMX use has found their way into the larger chapters - including weapons of a more biological nature. The augments people have on their bodies runs from relatively benign Yamatian body mods to full on synthesis and fusion of flesh with the psionic organs, carapaces, and chemical injecting tentacles. +When a group in a particular area is small, all efforts are focuse on small-time recruitment.
