Welcome to Hawthorne, where your payment guarantees life
In the lawless fringes of the Stanton System, the Hawthorne Operations Group has carved out a reputation as a master of the gray areas. Founded by a coalition of seasoned salvagers, former military operatives, and cunning entrepreneurs, Hawthorne Operations Group specializes in resource acquisition and operations that dance on the edge of legality.
Emerging in the wake of the UEE’s expansion, the organization quickly recognized the potential for profit in the chaotic aftermath of skirmishes and abandoned ships. With a motto of “
Welcome to Hawthorne, Where Your Payment Guarantees Life,” they engage in salvaging, smuggling, and other clandestine activities, all while deftly skirting the law to avoid the prying eyes of the authorities.
Hawthorne’s operations are marked by their adaptability and ingenuity, often employing advanced tech and expert strategists to navigate the treacherous waters of space commerce. Their members, a diverse mix of rogues and specialists, thrive in a culture that values loyalty and cunning, all united by the promise of shared fortunes.
As the group expands its influence across the galaxy, the Hawthorne Operations Group remains a formidable player in the underbelly of the Stanton System, where survival depends on both wit and the willingness to take risks. With a reputation for getting the job done—no matter the means—they embody the spirit of the frontier, ever ready to seize opportunity where others fear to tread.
