Panther Brigade "The Resistance" [PBR88] - Organizations

History

The Panther Brigade was born in the aftermath of Kael Riven’s departure from the United Empire of Earth Navy (UEEN). Disillusioned by the Garron II massacre and the unchecked power of mega-corporations, Kael sought to create an organization that could operate outside the oppressive structures of the UEE. Initially, it began as a small group of like-minded individuals—ex-military operatives, smugglers, and freedom fighters—united by their shared distrust of the government and a desire to protect the overlooked colonies in Stanton and Pyro.

Over the years, the Panther Brigade evolved into a highly coordinated and resourceful unit. Operating from their flagship, the Ecliptica, they became known for their surgical precision in disrupting piracy, corporate exploitation, and corruption. The Brigade took its name from a covert UEEN unit that Kael once led—a nod to his military past but redefined to represent hope and resistance for those left behind by the Empire.

With each mission, the Panther Brigade cemented its reputation as both a thorn in the side of the UEE and a beacon of hope for the forgotten. From liberating mining colonies to striking at pirate syndicates like the Nine Tails, the Brigade’s history is written in the victories and lives saved in the outer reaches of the ‘verse.

Manifesto

We are the Panther Brigade. Born from betrayal and forged in the fires of resistance, we stand for those who have been forgotten, oppressed, and discarded by the powers that dominate the ‘verse. Our mission is simple: to protect the vulnerable, challenge corruption, and carve out freedom in the shadows where the light of the UEE fails to reach.

Freedom Above All

We believe in the right of all individuals to live free from tyranny, corporate greed, and exploitation. We will fight for autonomy and self-determination, wherever it is threatened.

Accountability Through Action

The UEE, corporations, and pirate syndicates alike will answer for their actions. We do not wait for justice; we bring it to those who need it most.

Unity in Diversity

We are a coalition of outcasts, renegades, and survivors. Our strength lies in our differences and our shared purpose to fight for what is right.

No Borders in the Void

The stars belong to everyone. We reject the artificial divisions imposed by governments and corporations. The frontier is where we make our stand.

Loyalty to the Brigade

We are family. We protect one another and honor the sacrifices made by those who came before us. Betrayal is the only crime we do not forgive.

We do not seek glory or recognition. We do this because no one else will. The Panther Brigade exists to remind the universe that even in the darkest void, there will always be those who fight back. And Kael Riven, former Star Marine and shadow of the Gladius, would keep fighting for the forgotten corners of the ‘verse.
