Gallow's Hand / JCKAL

It began with those who had nothing left to lose—those abandoned by the corporate machine, poisoned by toxic environments and enslaved by debt. These outcasts cast aside the false promises of law and decency, recognizing them only as tools of oppression. They took to the stars, forming what would become the Gallows Hand.

The Gallows Hand emerged as a ruthless force, space pirates who answered to no authority but their own. They operated in the lawless corners of the galaxy, striking at corporate fleets, raiding supply lines, and freeing those held in bondage by the corrupt system. Their creed was simple: “Do as you will.” The Gallows Hand became both the vengeance and salvation for those who had been forgotten.

At the heart of their philosophy was a grim truth: freedom could not be bought; it had to be taken by force. And in their ranks, they offered that chance. Upon the hour of execution, when a person faced death by corporate decree, the Gallows Hand would offer them salvation—a place among their own, in exchange for loyalty and rebellion.

Thus, the Gallows Hand was more than pirates—they were the shadow of justice long denied, a plague upon the corporations, and the outstretched hand at the gallows for all who dared to defy the system.
