History
They come asking where we began….
As if there is a straight answer to a pup that is born starving.
Long before we freely hunted the light less waters of the void, before we feasted on the wrecks of the old masters, before we gilded our bulkheads with the symbols of our clans and families, before we had voices to sing. A lone prison barge; Bought and paid for by men who never had to bleed for a meal. Sent a thousand condemned souls to mine the infamous Locker Nebula. Corporate Rehabilitation it was called.
A coffin with engine is closer to the truth I say.
Prisoners stripped and clawed the bones for the cosmos until the dust clouded their lungs and the radiation poisoned their blood. Men disappeared into mining shafts weekly. Decompressed shafts shredded families, and starvation smothered all the light of hope.
There were no names, we were merely pennies spent on the mantle of progress.
Then came 2919. The first gasp. The first feeding frenzy, followed by the first feast of crows.
It was not spectacular, nor was it infantile. The mutiny had been brewing for quite sometime. All the hunger, All the thin air, All the reprisals, All the dept stacked up. Finally it came time for the score to be settled. The lights were snuffed. Then there was screaming, lots of screaming. By the time the reactors were stabilized, the overseers were adrift in the void and the barge derelict in the chaotic storms of the locker. The ‘Verse outside assumed that those left would simply be consumed by a mass of rock, dust and gas…
Oh how the ignorant can be so wrong.
We stripped the dead and in that moment learned the only lesson that the void offered: Waste Nothing. We spent the following years stripping ships with salvage rigs welded to mining ships to create a home. Cargo frames became shelters, stations became Void markets, Battlefields became and all you can eat buffet! anything the corporation deemed worthless was gold in our eyes.
Like sharks to blood and crows to carrion we emerged. A Scream into the cosmic nothingness that sang you are food and we are hungry. Many cycles passed and convicts became salvagers. Salvagers became crews. Crews became families. Families became clans. And then finally the clans became The Carrion Fleet.
Beyond the Trade lanes and the Corporate habs of safety, Law abiding folk still whisper of the Locker Nebula. It is the place parents warn their children of. a place where ships disappear and men go mad. Where freighters are torn asunder and their steely flesh feasted upon by horrors still unknown.
They’re not wrong, simply just misinformed.
The corporations call us Pirates, The Empire calls criminals. But we the first of many…..
We are Those that Feast!
Manifesto
You. Have. Survived.
That fact already places you in a class of your own.
The void is full of fools who think that their comfort is a sign that they are strong. People wrapped in corporate silt and finery. Captains who think that their registry numbers and corporate bylaws are somehow an unbreakable shield that protects them when the lights go out, and the hull begins to vent.
You have already witnessed the folly of that train of thought. You clawed your way through fire and vacuum. You have watched your ship die around you. And still you persisted. That is the first law of the Carrion Fleet. Survive first. Everything else comes after.
Out here resources are worth more than morals. Fuel, Iron, Ammunition, Food, Air. these are the currencies of the void. These are the chests of gold empire hoard like dragons in a cosmic lair while everyone else starves. We do not beg, We take.
Sharks break the hull and the Crown strip the bones.
That is the order of things.
Sharks hunt the fat and the careless. They descend hard and fast blowing past defenses and leaving battered husks behind.
Then comes the crown to strip the bones and make off with the only treasure that ever meant anything. Salvagers, Frieght-Runners, Miners, and wreckers. They turn Cargo into supplies. Scrap into structure. Broken ships become tomorrows Fleet.
Even the dead have value. Especially the dead. You might find that cruel. The void is crueler. The corporation and empires that left you adrift even crueler still.
the Carrion Fleet understands the truth that the civilized folk do not. Survival is the oldest law in nature.
So sit . Eat. Drink by the warmth of the reactor. No one asks you of who you were before. whether you were a prisoner, citizen, soldier, or one of honest labor. The void strips you of that and we call you family. Only survivors matter here.
And someday if the universe deems you worthy enough to survive long enough, then perhaps one day you will be sitting at this table while another trembling soul stand where you do now, dust still clinging to their vac-suit, wondering if they’ve been rescued…… Or recruited.

Reality Clause
The Carrion Fleet is a fictional organization created for participation in video games, role-play, and collaborative storytelling.
Membership in the Fleet does not supersede real life, personal responsibilities, relationships, employment, education, health, or legal obligations.
No member is expected to treat the organization as a real military, political movement, criminal group, or ideological cause.
All ranks, titles, operations, and conflicts exist solely within the context of gaming and community participation.
Real-world safety, legality, and personal well-being always take priority over Fleet activities.
The Fleet is fiction.
The people are real.
Protect the crew behind the screen.
And above all else lets work together to provide a fun environment for all our members.
