Questions about the Ine Givar

This is my first posting to the list, so excuse any errors...


I'm planning a Traveller campaign (set in the pre-5th Frontier War Spinward
Marches) and I'm planning to use the Ine Givar terrorists as one of the
plot threads (they're trying to sabotage some planetary defenses and naval
bases just before war breaks out).  But I don't know very much about the
Ine Givar (other than what showed up in 5FW, where they were basically
Zhodani-controlled guerilla armies).  I can't seem to find very much in
other sources.

Hence some questions I was wondering if you might help me with...

1) Are the Ine Givar a single organization, or an umbrella organization
linking groups on different worlds, or just the Imperial label for any
anti-Imperial terrorism that pops up?

2) Given that guerilla groups can't be effective without backing of some
sort, who supports them: the Zhodani or the Sword Worlds (I've seen some
suggestions of the latter).  The answer to this will probably influence
question 3.

3) What, exactly, do the Ine Givar want out of life?  The Imperium to just
go away?  Union with the Zhodani?  Changes in Imperial policies?  Norris'
head on a pike?  The published information I've seen is singularly vague
about Ine Givar motivations (other than to say that they're 'anti-Imperial',
whatever that means).

4) Roughly how active are they?  (I suppose this would vary from world
to world, depending on Ine Givar strength locally, their targets, and so
forth).  This is probably a campaign-dependent decision, but I'd like to
know what levels of activity could be justified.

Thanks.
