Northway Faction, sometimes simply called Northway (NTF), was a criminal organization, later a private militarized and research organization based in Russia. It was established on December 26, 2017, and disbanded on February 19, 2019, after losing the First Intergroup War. It was the first organization of the independent militarized factions period of Earth, the second being Boreas Research Facility.
Northway founders were Nikolai Volkov, Egor Krupin, and Mikhail Kovac. The organization was created with the goal of unifying street gangs of Moscow. In the early stages of the period, especially during 2019, the NTF was considered an incredibly militaristic organization. This may have been a result of Mikhail Kovac's influence on Nikolai Volkov (Kovac proposed the idea of attacking the BRF). During its lifetime, the organization frequently engaged in small conflicts with local gangs in Moscow, including the R Syndicate. Despite the latter conflict, Nikolai Volkov temporarily joined the Syndicate after the dissolution of Northway and established a special task force within it. This task force was short-lived and disbanded with the formation of the United Northway Refugees.
History
Background
Before December 26, 2017, Nikolai Volkov was a member of a local street gang in Moscow. After serving a small 8-month sentence in prison for a drug-related charge, he decided to leave his former gang and look for other partners. On November 4, 2017, he met Egor Krupin in a local pub. They quickly became friends after Krupin expressed sympathy for the reasons behind his imprisonment.
Somewhere shortly after the dissolution of HJT International Security Services, Mikhail Kovac arrived in Russia and settled in Moscow. Kovac sought employment with law enforcement and private security companies, but was almost always turned down because he did not have Russian citizenship. After being rejected by another private security firm, he joined the R Syndicate through a contact within the MVD. There he met Volkov and Krupin, who also joined the organization.
The trio bonded after a drug deal within the Syndicate went sideways. After the incident, Volkov proposed the idea of creating their own criminal empire based on brotherhood and unity among its members. Krupin and Kovac agreed on the idea. Volkov began procuring resources (mostly by stealing from Syndicate warehouses) and recruiting members. Krupin was in charge of training and Kovac was in charge of organizational matters.
Establishment
On December 26, 2017, Volkov officially declared the establishment of Northway Faction. At that time there were around 45 members, some from R Syndicate.
