Alsakan Gang Crisis

The Alsakan Gang Crisis was a period of domestic unrest in 900 ARR on Alsakan. It marks the emergence of significant criminal organizations on Alsakan and is considered a precursor to the later Alsakan Crisis.

Background
In 900 ARR the first rumblings of crisis came with the presence of an aggressive criminal circuit affecting construction projects. Some experts have speculated that this marked the initial entrance of a new criminal organization to Alsakan.

Crisis
The Crisis kicked off with when fighting broke out between 'domestic' gangs and the new gangs who where looking to expand this territory from their construction racket. Efforts to displace the 'domestic' gangs were aid by the Alsakan police taking down several of their crime boss, while the leadership and operations of the new gangs were essentially untouched. After a period of fighting the violence subsided, experts believe that this marks a period of retrenchment, with a new criminal cabal setting up control of illegal activity on Alsakan.

Legacy
Following this crisis trade unions on Alsakan began to gather increasing power. Conflicting views of these unions, either as protection from criminals, or an attempt legitimize criminal rackets, exist. The rise of unions would lead to changes in the Alsakan government, and help set the stage for the later and wider Alsakan Crisis.
