House of Heathens – Shadow PMC masters of infiltration. We breach the unbreakable: deep penetration, long-term embeds, surgical disruption. Ex-specialists unbound by rules. Selective freelancing for those who need the impossible done quietly. Enter the heathens.
The History of House of Heathens. The House of Heathens emerged from the scorched hulls of failed UEEN operations and shattered imperial oaths in the turbulent 2950s, as a cadre of disillusioned elite operators—drawn from the ranks of UEE Marines’ Advanced Special Operations units and Naval Special Warfare groups—grew weary of endless Vanduul skirmishes, bureaucratic oversight, and the UEE’s gilded propaganda. They were the ghosts of the frontier: masters of zero-g breaches and shadow embeds who thrived in the gray voids between law and chaos but rejected the Empire’s leash. Discharged, ghosted from rosters, or presumed KIA after ops in Nyx and Pyro, they coalesced around 2952 amid the lawless sprawl of Ruin Station in the Pyro system.
What started as ad-hoc “access solutions”—slipping Cutlass Blacks through contested jump points for corporate clients dodging Advocacy patrols—crystallized into a rogue PMC. They named themselves the House of Heathens in defiant heresy against the UEE’s imperial creed: outcasts unbound by Terra’s flags, loyal only to the breach and the brotherhood forged in hard vacuum.
By 2953, the House had honed its doctrine: infiltration as sacred rite. No convoy escorts or static hab security like lesser PMCs—instead, deep-penetration ops into fortified outposts, long-term embeds within pirate packs like the Nine Tails, corporate espionage on ArcCorp stations, or silent boarding of Vanduul scouts. Their motto: No flag. No mercy. Just the breach. Operatives piloted stealth-retrofitted Drakes and hacked Anvil dropships with surgical deniability, turning presence into the deadliest weapon.
The legend ignited in 2954 during a black op in Pyro’s shattered orbitals. A Heathen fireteam embedded for 14 months within a Nine Tails splinter cell at a derelict Grim Hex outpost, orchestrating its implosion—cargo bays vented, leaders ghosted—shifting power in the system without a traceable quantum signature. Whispers rippled through Spectrum channels and shady hangars: for the impossible in denied space, call the Heathens.
Into 2956, they remain lean—under two dozen core shadows—to evade UEE trackers and preserve agility. Freelancing sustains them: selective contracts for megacorps like Hurston Dynamics, rogue traders, or even Xi’an whispers, from exec extractions in Stanton to psy-ops on outlaw carriers. Each run sharpens the blade, from Pyro ambushes to Vanduul Kingship infiltrations.
Today, the House haunts the ‘verse’s underbelly—a Pyro legend traded in Ruin’s bars and Stanton’s black markets. Born of imperial betrayal, fueled by frontier heresy, sealed by void oaths. The heathens don’t recruit; they claim those already lost in the dark. Once breached, no clean jump out.
MANIFESTO OF THE HOUSE OF HEATHENS
In the endless black of the ‘verse, where UEE banners fade to static and corporate galleons hoard their gilded lies, we rise.
We are the House of Heathens—heretics forged in the fire of betrayed oaths and abandoned ops. Born from the ghosts of UEE elite: Marine Shadows who breached Vanduul Kingships, Naval ghosts who slipped Nyx blockades, and outcasts who survived Pyro’s lawless grind. We spat on Terra’s creed, the Advocacy’s leash, and the megacorps’ profit-choked charters. No more dying for senators’ egos or Hurston’s quotas. We serve the breach alone.
Our Creed: Unbound by Void, Bound by BloodOur War: Against the Visible Order
The ‘verse chokes on its own chains—UEE admirals hoarding power, corps like Spectrum hoarding souls, pirates squabbling over scraps. We declare total war on the unbreakable. From Pyro’s shattered orbitals to Vanduul fringes, we infiltrate, disrupt, dominate. Governments whisper our name in panic; clients carve our sigil in encrypted manifests. We are the shadow that shifts alliances, the breach that bleeds empires dry.
We thrive where others burn: in the gray void of deniability, where OPSEC is oxygen and betrayal is execution. Our brotherhood—lean, lethal, eternal—recognizes its own. Ex-specialists, frontier wolves, hackers who crack Hurston vaults. Join if you walk the path; we claim no weak links.
The Oath of the Heathen
I breach without banner.
I disrupt without trace.
I serve the House, the void, the job.
No flag. No mercy. Just the breach. Enter the House of Heathens.
Pilot your Sabre into our shadow. Dock at Ruin. Prove your heresy.
The ‘verse awaits its reckoning.
We are the unseen hand.
CHARTER OF THE HOUSE OF HEATHENS

In the void where empires falter and trust is a luxury few can afford, the House of Heathens operates as a sovereign shadow.

Our only law is the integrity of the breach, the security of the brotherhood, and the success of the mission. All who enter swear to uphold this charter—violation invites exile, or worse.
