Biker culture was imported to the Kiravian Union from [[Levantia]] after the [[Great War]], bringing the outlaw biker subculture with it. The Kirosocialist government heavily encouraged the adoption of motorcycles as a mode of transportation for the working man, especially in smaller cities and towns, in part to compensate for production shortages at the state-owned automobile plants and long waiting lists for cars. Biker culture boomed after the end of Kirosocialism amid the social dislocation brought on by market liberalisation, and outlaw biker gangs proliferated rapidly | Biker culture was imported to the Kiravian Union from [[Levantia]] after the [[Great War]], bringing the outlaw biker subculture with it.

OMCs occupy a certain niche in the Kiravian criminal ecosystem. Most OMCs have a nationwide or extended regional footprint, with chapters spread across multiple states, forming useful networks for smuggling and drug distribution. They have a deeper reach into suburban and rural areas than the ethnic crime families, which concentrate their activities in urban areas. They are often sought after as hired muscle and as contract killers. | OMCs occupy a certain niche in the Kiravian criminal ecosystem.
