Manes is a major Dian underground group - not unlike the Mafia.

It attempts to carry out most of its' activities "outside" of ICCD especially those that infringe the basic fundamental Dian Laws.

They conduct Human Smuggling/Prostitution/Export Drug Trade(drugs are legal in ICCD but not other localities they try to supply)/ Assasination/Blackmail and other not so liked things.

Their rates for assasination range from a couple hundred dollars to the multi millions depending on the target. For their human trade they tend to kidnap people at younger ages and brainwash them.

The Dian government officially brands them state enemies however because they also support local communities and individuals, and various family groups have "loose" assosiations with them, they still manage to survive, and in general the organization is only persecuted for internal criminal acts. Money itself flows in Dian banks via shells and foreign exchanges.

If there is anything you need smuggled including nuclear materials they may be able to do it. Within their ranks are some ex security personnel, and the organization has a broad base of support and individuals and contracts.

They sell women, and less often children. They also organize "raids" on places that don't have a large security pressence. During this type of raid they would massacre the men and older women while kidnapping all the children. Raising them for thier role as slaves for prositution or as footsoilders, or at times some other task.

The darkest parts of the organization are secret, while they gain their general support in ICCD via a very profitable grey market.

They also bankroll various of the epidemic Dian Youth Gangs that exist, in large part for legal drug trade - but since the government doesn't regulate it and has not grouped it differently than pharmaceuticals it has continued to be something most individuals try to hide, and try to do so by private secret purchases. They have guns, stolen materials. They also have an active mercenary wing that in addition to providing defence also attacks mostly undefended targets and performs piracy - this almost always outside of ICCD.
