Cascade Ork
The Cascade Orks is an Ork tribe in the Salish-Shidhe Council.
Origin[]
The Cascade Ork tribe was formed by Orks who separated themselves from their original tribes and formed a new tribe which took elements of every culture and of the growing Ork cultures, thereby creating their own identity.[1] Not only did many orks and trolls from other tribes join the Cascade Orks (who originally recruited heavily from the Awakened within the Cascade Crow), but large numbers of pinkskin orks also joined the tribe.[2]
Legitimate Economy[]
Several mines are owned and operated by the Cascade Ork tribe. Of all the tribes in the Salish-Shidhe, the Cascade Orks have shown the least amount of concern about the land and therefore have been lax about effluent control and site reclamation. Tungsten and nickel were minded in small amounts in the beginning, but in 2036 they hit it big time when they discovered an extremely large uranium mine. They transport it overland to the Port of Seattle from which it is exported.[3] Another business, legal but unethical is where they produce "art work" using computer-controlled machines and then sell it to the public as "traditional native artwork", complete with "certificates of authenticity" (produced by photocopiers).[4] The tribe is also known to sell or trade for services rendered, honorary tribal membership.[5] Recently the Cascade Orks established a transportation corporation, the Cascade Transit which has a good sized fleet and is earning contracts in the Pueblo Corporate Council.[6]
Shadow Economy[]
Cascade Orks are involved in running drugs and BTL chips to the Seattle sprawl and elsewhere via t-birds.[7] The tribe has ties to gangs and smugglers, and it supports the smuggling routes with patrol schedules, repair facilities, fuel depots, IFF transponder frequencies, and so on. The Cascade Orks provide the SSC with kickbacks, discounted necessities, and data which results in them being left alone.[8] When it comes to bribery, they see it as a social lubricant.[9]
