Brethren of the Coast / BRETHREN

2948-09-30: A small group of privateers, freelancers, smugglers and buccaneers decide to form a loose coalition seeking mutual benefit and increased security. The founding members additionally wished to procure increased profits by attracting a wider spectrum of benefactors and clients on the outskirts of civilized space.

They began by drafting codes of conduct that favored legislative decision-making, individual rights, and equitable division of revenues.

The name, “Brethren of the Coast,” was taken from a historically similar syndicate of mariners during Earth’s seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
