[Note: The series takes a more romantic notion of the subject matter like the Narco ballads and Spanish dramas which have inspired it. While like most of my stuff, it is grounded in reality in areas it is still an overly romanticized ideal of the Narco life. Purely for entertainment purposes.  The series name is even inspired by a very popular Narco ballad to set such framing.]

Chingon de Chingones (Expanded) series(Shorted to Chingon (Expanded) series for brevity): The reach of the LDS Cartel is international with their teeth and claws in the drug, weapons and human trafficking trades. Their products and trades flow across borders especially into North America, which is one of their biggest markets. The series will feature criminals from other organizations along the trades routes from the LDS Cartel offering an extended universe. While the LDS rules Hermosillo, and much of central Sonora, like their own small kingdom, insulated from consequences due to bribes and intimidation, most of the organizations down the flow of their products are in a constant battle with law enforcement. They move in the shadows and struggle to build their own kingdoms, built on criminal trade, to grab the brass ring and claim their own power.

The Maroon Saints are a notorious gang known for high-end vehicle theft, drug trafficking, and tactical hits. Born in the early 80’s out of a bunch of friends living in the projects in Compton, gathering friends and relatives. Because of the close knit nature of the core of the gang, they grew slowly but were careful and cunning in their actions, flying under the radar of the LAPD’s gang units for a long time. It’s only in the 2000’s that they began to gain traction in law enforcement circles as they expanded their operations. After internal strife and hits from rival gangs, only two of the founders remain guiding they gang secretly from more legitimate business fronts. ("Maroon" references communities of escaped slaves who formed independent settlements, implying freedom and defiance.)
