Stellar Shadows Syndicate / OBSCURASSS

Origins:

The Stellar Shadows Syndicate was born out of necessity. In the early days of interstellar exploration, as humanity spread its wings across the stars, there was a need for a group that could navigate the treacherous waters of space, trading goods, hunting bounties, and ensuring that the balance of power remained in check. The founding members of the SSS were a mix of former military personnel, traders, and outlaws, each bringing their unique skills to the table.

The Dual Facade:

On the surface, the SSS is a legitimate organisation. They are known throughout the universe for their prowess in bounty hunting and trading. Their fleet, a mix of sleek fighters and massive cargo ships, can be seen docking at major spaceports, their crews bartering goods and exchanging information. However, beneath this façade lies the syndicate’s darker side. A secretive group within the SSS, known only as “The Eclipse”, engages in activities that are, to put it mildly, outside the bounds of the law. From smuggling rare and illegal goods to orchestrating high-profile heists, The Eclipse is the embodiment of the syndicate’s shadowy nature.

The Eclipse: A Descent into Darkness

Joining The Eclipse is no easy feat. It’s not just about skill or loyalty, but a test of one’s mettle and morality. Prospective members must climb the ranks of the SSS, proving themselves in both the legitimate and illicit arenas. Only when they have garnered enough trust and respect are they approached with an invitation to join this inner circle. The Eclipse operates on a strict code of conduct. Betrayal is met with swift and brutal justice. Their operations are meticulously planned, and their members are the best in their respective fields. From ace pilots to master hackers, The Eclipse boasts a roster of individuals who are legends in the underworld.

The Universe’s Perspective:

To the general populace, the Stellar Shadows Syndicate is a necessary evil. They provide essential services, ensuring that trade routes remain open and that dangerous criminals are brought to justice. However, whispers of their illicit activities have begun to spread, and many wonder just how deep the syndicate’s roots go. The UEE (United Empire of Earth) has, on multiple occasions, tried to infiltrate and dismantle the syndicate, especially The Eclipse. But the SSS’s vast network and influence have always ensured their survival.
