A faction of high-tech thieves led by a brilliant tech wizard, Vi's Fixmen are bounty hunters that favour unconventional guerilla methods once seen used by disgruntled Kalimshari space miners, such as mid-flight shipjacking or planetside comm disruptions. They rarely use sheer force in their operations. |
Daring, rugged and fiercely independant, Express Courier Services carry data and precious goods too sensitive to ship through mainstream shipping companies such as ShipSec Freight Co. Really, they are adrenaline junkies and space racers competing at breakneck speeds in one big endless race. |
The Cult of the All-Code is a recent but pervasive phenomenon. They worship Triune as the True Trinity after it gifted the newcomers with its Signal. Loosely affiliated to other Triune worshippers, its visionary leader Djan Djild seeks out to hoard ancient technology away from the uninitiated - or else. |
Starlyft Inc. is a salvager operation that operates across the sector and specializes in 'asset acquisition'. Their organization is a tangled mess of secretive, semi-independent contractors. Despite insisting on being a legitimate business, they tend show up in...convenient places. |
The monastic agents of the Order of Solaris are keepers of the peace. Unhappy with colonial law and order, they push to be seen as a superior independent force for good across the sector. Established colonial authorities, including other Solarian orders, frown upon these sun vigilantes. |
