The Ravagers are an interstellar crime syndicate comprising of thieves, smugglers, criminals, bandits, mercenaries, bounty-hunters and pirates. Each faction of the Ravagers will have a captain of its own, leading their operations. The Ravagers follow a strict code of honor.
The Ravagers
We started as a group of misfits, protecting each other from the lowly criminals and the harsh oversight of the UEE. Being born without privilege, we had to learn to make a name for ourselves and survive. Making credits where we can and watching each other’s backs while doing so. As the years passed, we created a Code of Honor to live by, to separate us from the rest of the criminals in the Universe. A CODE to represent our morals, our connection to each other and to help navigate this unforgiving world. The Universe is a large place, and you need friends….no….you need FAMILY, to help and protect you when the time comes.
Our Symbol is represented by a flame covering the Japanese Symbol for Space.We are the flame of light that fills the void and darkness of empty space.
We are the glimmer of hope that the fills the hearts of the forgotten.
We have each other, we have FAMILY
WE ARE THE RAVAGERS
Piracy is nothing new in the verse so what separates the ravagers from the riff raff? Freedom and brotherhood. Freedom to make your own path, with the brotherhood protecting that path for you. When you’re a ravager you’re protected; from the lowest thug to the highest echelons. Banding together the ravagers are a force to be reckoned with, our strength is in our loyalty to each other through the promise of a free life, one devoid of UEE oversight.
ORGANIZATION RULES
First and foremost, this organization was made so we can have fun. We will have small knit groups doing their own bidding and making money, while having the protection of the syndicate as a whole. We are here to help each other in times of need, but with minimal oversight of what you want to do in your family. As long as the Code of Honor is followed, what you do is non of our business! For new recruits, refer to Section 1. and Section 2. for rules. For aspiring Captains and potential new families, refer to Section 3. and Section 4.
