The East Side Syndicate
Origins
While the origins of the East Side Syndicate (ESS) are disputed, the first known appearance of the group was in 1995 as a small street gang in southern Laotia known as the Yu-Tang gang. In the wake of the Asian Financial Crisis, the Yu-Tang began consolidating their power in Millmerran by exploiting the natural poppy growth and exporting it overseas.
With heroin use exploding internationally, rival gangs in the region saw an opportunity to seize control of the trade. They quickly seized control of the poppy fields and eliminated many Yu-Tang members, leading to the dissolution of the gang.
They began importing and processing huge amounts of poppies from Pakistan, building their reputation as producers of the highest quality heroin on the market. This is White Tiger.
White Tiger has been exported all around the world, from Thailand, China and South Korea all the way to the US.
With the fall of the Afghanistan government in 2021 and the extraction of US troops, the ESS used their immense wealth to purchase a large supply of US weapons and equipment from the Taliban. This was instrumental in their full regional takeover of Millmerran when the Laotian government dissolved. The ESS are now one of the best equipped insurgent forces the world has ever seen, with the training and experience to hold onto power for years to come.
