Year Founded: 2014

Status: Disbanded

The Pavlovo Trade Union, or PTU for short, was one of the oldest official factions, being a trade group that served in helping the people of Chernarus with trading and delivering messages. They prided themselves in providing honest and fair trading and setting up meetings, being a neutral security presence. They even offered social services, like offering medical service, because they believed that every survivor should carve their own paths to help rebuild society. They firmly believed in the saying, "You fire first, we fire last", trading with anyone who didn't openly attack them, regardless if they were considered good or evil.

Alignment

The Pavlovo Trade Union, was of the Neutral Good alignment archetype. They were very upfront about not getting entangled in the politics amongst groups, but instead would deliver messages, gather gear, tan leather, and dye armbands as a service to the people of Chernarus. They strictly wanted to offer completely neutral services to ALL in Chernarus, and would not get involved with business that involved backstabbings, ambushes, etc., which could be seen as taking sides. They ultimately were looking out for the good in society, and they believed by staying neutral, people could focus on their own paths.

Appearance

The Pavlovo Trade Union had a few appearance requirements of its members. Members could not wear anything with the colors red, orange, or pink in it. They were also required to not wear anything covering their faces, including helmets, bandanas, balaclavas, surgical masks, etc. The only exception was if members needed glasses, they could wear those. They were also required to wear blue armbands with gold stars, which was important to identifying their members. Some members liked to include blue in their appearance, but this was up to the individual member. They also did not permit wearing any UN gear, including headgear, in order to distinguish the difference in members.

The PTU claimed a small territory for themselves around the area, but their camp was in the town of Pavlovo. If trading or services were needed, survivors and groups knew to head to Pavlovo to meet with them.

Goals

The Pavlovo Trade Union prided themselves on the fact that trading is the thread that builds the fabric of society. They did not trade for profit, but in order to get more items to trade with others fairly and honestly. They also facilitated trades and meetings between groups who otherwise would not. They did not participate in ambushes or backstabbing, but instead maintained a neutral security presence if needed. They even would offer to transport goods personally to individuals/groups or transport what was given to them. The goal of this was to hopefully initiate friendly interactions between groups without PTU present. The PTU could also be approached about requesting specific supplies that would be used for the betterment of Chernarus in terms of projects. All of these things contributed to the fiber of the faction's core: improving the lives of ALL the people in Chernarus.

Values

Being a very successful trading faction, the PTU embodied a quite a few values:

• NEUTRALITY: The PTU was strictly neutral, trading with anyone who did not openly attack them, regardless if the groups/individuals were considered good or evil. If a trade or meeting had any possibility of entangling politics, they would simply refuse it.
• FAIRNESS: The ultimate goal the PTU had in mind was to provide good to society, which meant they prided themselves on being fair. As long as they were not openly attacked, they would ensure trade with everyone for the betterment of society.
• HONESTY: The group provided honest trades and services, only undertaking what was considered to be politically neutral. If there was any chance of taking sides, the group would be honest with the groups/individuals asking for assistance in that they would not take the job/trade.
• SECURITY: Security, whether providing it in a service or just looking out for the groups/individuals in their presence, was very important. They knew if people felt safe, they could procure what they needed and start carving their own paths.
