Our story is one founded in failure and abandonment. We are the ex-UEE Elite Shadow Squad 492 and this is our story.
October 25, 2932. Operation Shadow Wings.
Our mission was to extract a high value undercover target from the clutches of a pirate faction. High Command had little intel to offer, on the edges of unlawful space this wasnt unusual. This is what we have trained for, our expertise is to use the darkness and unknown as a cloak and shield. This time though, it would be different. Nothing could have prepared us for the ambush that we were walking into.
They knew we were coming, strategically placed Ion Dampaners killed our shields as soon as we entered the lower atmosphere. Our pilot could do nothing but watch as the missile lock warnings covered every console. We scrambled to the jump exit. The jump was messy, our squad scattered everywhere. Radios were dead, no comms. For the first time we experienced true darkness.
Before the Op, High Command had done a rough scan of the planet and set emergency regroup and exfil points. Our squads spent the next couple of hours avoiding pirate patrol squads, scouring the zone for our squad. There were a few close calls but we managed to evade discovery. We reached the emergency exfil, we found remnants of our squad already there, with the emergency beacon already active.
We waited for 5 days for our evac, not a single ship showed up… The UEE had left us to perish on this godforsaken rock. Probably not wanting to waste the resources to exfil a small shadow squad from a now highly alert planet.
After being abandoned by the UEE we made plans to steal a ship and get ourselves off the planet. With our 15 man squad we managed to steal an Aegis Hammerhead from the pirate docks, many gave their lives to secure our escape and we will never forget the fallen.
Abandon by our superiors and left to die. We swore to never allow this to happen again. We have formed our own PMC “The Black Guard”
In absentia lucis, Tenebrae vincunt
In the absence of light, darkness prevails
We have vowed to never again let innocents feel abandonment. We will be the shield that protects the fragile, the discarded.
We will descend upon wings of shadow to heed the call of the weak. Our vengeance will be swift and just.
We are the guardians in the darkness. We are not angels, our hearts are void of hope and light from the betrayal of the UEE, we feel only fury and rage.
We are the vengeance that cleanses the unlawful fringes of space.
We are The Black Guard, for those that use the darkness to hide, fear the darkness for it will be your undoing. We ARE the darkness.
The Black Guard provides protection services for the right price. There is no darkness we fear for we have seen it all.
The price for escort and protection is based on the value of your cargo;
Hammerhead (with 2 light figher) Escort – 30% Cargo Value
Hammerhead Escort – 20% Cargo Value
2 Light Figher Escort – 10% Cargo Value
Should you be attacked the full force of The Black Guard will be brought down upon the scum.
