Dockyard Exchange | Criminal Front Application

In the shadow of Echoes: 1984, criminal enterprises often hide in plain sight. Front businesses serve as a legal facade for illicit activities, allowing gangs to launder money, conduct underground dealings, and expand their influence under the guise of legitimacy. The Dockyard Exchange oversees these operations, ensuring that only the most organized and strategic fronts are permitted to operate. If you seek to establish a front, you must first gain approval through this application process.

Successful fronts will receive exclusive benefits such as access to underground trade networks, protection services, and the ability to disguise illegal operations behind a legal storefront. However, not all applications will be accepted—only businesses that demonstrate longevity, structure, and commitment to the server’s roleplay environment will be approved.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:

• The business owner must submit the application and assume full responsibility for all activities conducted under the front.

• The front must have a functional legal component that serves as a plausible cover for its criminal operations.

• Your business must maintain an active presence within the roleplay environment and employ at least three active members.

• The front’s criminal activities must align with the lore and setting of Echoes: 1984.

• Any major changes to leadership, business identity, or operations must be reported to the Dockyard Exchange.

• You must transfer ownership of the server to M0rsari3s when accepted. 

• Permanently banned players are strictly prohibited from participating in gang activities.

RULES & REGULATIONS:

• Applications must be well-written and demonstrate proper grammar and roleplay structure.

• All information provided must be truthful. Any falsification will result in an application blacklist.

• Businesses must be unique—copying or stealing existing front concepts will result in denial.

• The Dockyard Exchange reserves the right to revoke front privileges if activity, roleplay quality, or compliance is not maintained.

• Front businesses must have a clear purpose and structure beyond just existing as a criminal enterprise.

OFFICIAL FRONT PRIVILEGES: Upon approval, front businesses will gain access to specialized tools and benefits, including:

• Money Laundering Services: The ability to clean illicit earnings through legitimate business transactions.

• Underground Trade Access: Priority access to smuggled goods, black market networks, and contraband distribution.
