Bounty Hunting
Welcome to the Fellowship of the Forgotten (FTFC), an interstellar alliance born from the shadows of neglect and united by a shared purpose. Whether you’re a seasoned bounty hunter, a diligent miner, a fearless salvager, or an intrepid cargo shipper, the FTFC opens its arms to those ready.
History
Backstory
Founding Era: Set in the tumultuous period following the end of the Messer Era in the 28th century, the “Fellowship of the Forgotten” came into existence as a response to the new challenges that emerged with the collapse of the old regime.
Formation: A group of individuals, mostly left disenfranchised by the chaos of the times, sought each other out. These were miners who lost their livelihoods, salvagers scraping the edges of the known systems, former military members who were disillusioned, and traders caught in the political crossfire. They found strength in unity and formed an organization dedicated to mutual support and survival.
Principles
1. Community and Brotherhood: The Fellowship values the deep bonds formed among its members. It is a haven for those who have felt overlooked or left behind by society, promoting trust, respect, and solidarity.
2. Self-Reliance and Independence: Unlike some larger and more bureaucratic organizations, the Fellowship encourages individual initiative and resourcefulness, fostering an environment where members can thrive on their own terms.
3. Adaptability: The Fellowship believes in the importance of flexibility and adaptability. Its diverse set of professions – bounty hunters, miners, salvagers, cargo shippers, etc. – is a testament to this principle.
4. Ethical Integrity: While the Fellowship operates on the fringes, it is not without a moral code. Bounty hunters within the group take contracts within legal bounds, and traders are committed to fair dealings.
Reason for Existence
Survival and Mutual Aid: The Fellowship of the Forgotten emerged as a way for its members to survive and prosper in an often hostile galaxy. They are united by a shared sense of purpose and a determination to build something lasting amidst the uncertainty.
A Voice for the Voiceless: This organization aims to provide a voice and place for those who have been marginalized or forgotten by the broader universe, including by the UEE, mega-corporations, and other major powers.
Structure and Operations
Leadership: A Council of Elders, representing the various professions within the Fellowship, guides the organization. They are elected by the members and serve to facilitate communication, arbitration, and direction.
Professions:
- Bounty Hunters: Responsible for enforcing contracts and protecting the Fellowship’s interests.
- Miners: They explore and exploit resources, sustaining the economic lifeblood of the organization.
- Salvagers: Specializing in reclaiming valuable materials from the fringes of space, turning waste into wealth.
- Cargo Shippers: Ensuring the flow of goods and trade, connecting the Fellowship with the broader galactic community.
Symbol and Motto
Symbol: A Phoenix rising from forgotten relics, symbolizing rebirth, resilience, and unity.
Motto: “From Shadows to Light.”
