Hyperion Commission

The Hyperion Commission, also known as the Hyperian Mafia, is a powerful criminal alliance of Italian origin on the world of Hyperion that split from the influences of the Italian-American Mafia in 2126 under the leadership of Tazanio De Dominicis, the first Capo di tutti i capi. Originally a mob infiltration of space dockworkers and shipbreakers of various races, the arrival of Italian and Italian-American immigrants onto the world allowed for the formation of criminal cabals and suborganizations that operated autonomously from its overseers in America; as a result, with the growth of Hyperion's political and economic power, the mafia groups in Hyperion declared independence from their Earth ancestors in what would become the Bergen Beach War.
With their victory in the war and subsequent independence, the newly founded Hyperion Commission immediately moved to infiltrate corporations and subsidiaries operating on Hyperion, often coming to blows with other criminal groups such as the Hyperion yakuza Akashiro-kai and Zedohishi-kai. Despite the Commission's ethnic origin in Italian commanders, the bulk of its forces were composed of a miscellany of associates of varying Terran and other planetary origins; as a result, it quickly liberalized to confer the same benefits of membership to both Italians and other races with the exclusion of having the ability to become "made men". This decision, protecting the internal customs of the Commission, both conferred internal stability and external adaptability to absorb gangs and criminal groups beneath them as mutually profitable associate entities.
In the modern day, the Hyperion Commission is considered to be one of the most powerful criminal groups in all of the Hathor star system, with its power exuding even farther than Hyperion to nearby planetary systems. It maintains unofficial links and alliances to multiple native and international megacorporations, but has been involved throughout the history of Hyperion in various open and underground wars against Asian criminal groups such as Japanese yakuza, Chinese triad, and Korean geondal organizations. This has conferred an anti-Asian bias among many members and associates of the mafia, and has even pushed the mafia into conflicts with Asian megacorporations such as the Chen Wu Corporation and Kanetomi Corporation on the behest of their corporate allies.
