	~~{{Template:Stub}}~~		The '''Confederation of Independent OS-tans (CIOST)''' is a loosely-organized faction of OS-tans that have agreed to defend each other, and their continued independence. Its members do not live together, and do not convene often, but have enough recognition to be considered a faction. Superficially, its members don't seem different from the [[Wanderer Class]], but the members of the CIOST fiercely defend their independence, and most wanderers do not.

			It would be an extremely powerful faction if its members united, and they could succeed on taking on the Windows Family or the Linux/Unix Consortium, but most CIOST members prefer the decentralized direction of the faction.
			When divided, several of its members are not that powerful on their own. The faction usually not seen as much of an inspiration, but some of its members joined later because they were inspired by the ideals of the CIOST, and what they could do when its members work together.

			The CIOST was founded by [[VMS \| VMS-tan]] in 1998, shortly after her original faction, the [[DEC Military]] was conquered by HP. A few years prior to this, the DEC Military was already weakened after losing a lot of territory to [[Windows NT \| Windows NT-tan]]. Having to work for the company that conquered her while most of her relatives were scattered away was humiliating to her, and she sympathized with the many OS-tans who have lost out to the larger and more powerful factions.

			She traveled the world to seek other OS-tans who were affected, so they could combine their skills and resources to defend each others' independence, and to take on the larger and more powerful factions.

	Not a true faction in the literal sense, since members don't regularly convene, live together (or even close by) or have any defined territory borders or markets. The Confederation of Independent OS-tans is essentially a mutual defense pact for non-aligned OS-tans, who fiercely defend their own independence and (unlike [[Wanderer Class \| Wanderers]]) have agreed to defend the independence of their fellow sisters. A number of its members have had run-ins with Windows, Macs, Unix and Linux-types in the past, so almost no CIOST members are related to any of these factions. Therefore, the CIOST membership boasts an enormous and colorful diversity of OS-tans of all types, trades and personalities. The majority of its members, however, are generally considered (in varying degrees) to be quite powerful, resourceful to an art, and a touch antisocial.

	The CIOST was first established by [[VMS \| VMS-tan]], after witnessing the travesty that became of her involvement with [[NT-tan \| Windows NT]]. Recognizing the threat posed by well-marketed inferior programming in an ignorant world, the pact was set up as quickly as possible to admit and protect as many of her kind as possible from the ravages of the 90's wars. Sadly, her own hermit-like lifestyle and laissez-faire approach to everything but defense did much to influence the CIOST in becoming the decentralized organization that it remains today. United, the CIOST is powerful enough to shatter the [[Windows Family \| Windows hegemony]] and even take on the [[Linux Unix Consortium \| LUC]]!

	~~But divided, they are neither a threat nor much of an inspiration.~~

==Overview==
Not a true faction in the literal sense, since members don't regularly convene, live together (or even close by) or have any defined territory borders or markets. The Confederation of Independent OS-tans is essentially a mutual defense pact for non-aligned OS-tans, who fiercely defend their own independence and (unlike [[Wanderer Class | Wanderers]]) have agreed to defend the independence of their fellow sisters. A number of its members have had run-ins with Windows, Macs, Unix and Linux-types in the past, so almost no CIOST members are related to any of these factions. Therefore, the CIOST membership boasts an enormous and colorful diversity of OS-tans of all types, trades and personalities. The majority of its members, however, are generally considered (in varying degrees) to be quite powerful, resourceful to an art, and a touch antisocial.

The CIOST was first established by [[VMS | VMS-tan]], after witnessing the travesty that became of her involvement with [[NT-tan | Windows NT]]. Recognizing the threat posed by well-marketed inferior programming in an ignorant world, the pact was set up as quickly as possible to admit and protect as many of her kind as possible from the ravages of the 90's wars.

But divided, they are neither a threat nor much of an inspiration.
