The Hounds of Annwn / THOA

The Hounds of Anwnn were first formed during the Vanduul Invasion of Caliban in the year 2884.

Taking their name from the old Folklore from Earth that the founders claim lineage from. They hoped to follow in the mythos’ footsteps and ride the skies to victory. While they knew the chance of victory was small, they saw their actions as a way to allow those unable to fight a chance to flee.

Using what little they had, mere haulers and transport ships they defended their homes and assisted Squadron 88 in evacuating the Citizens of their home world to flee. Though many fell in these heroic actions alongside Squadron 88 some of the Hounds managed to survive by escaping to the fringes of the system, before eventually evacuating the system altogether.

Little did they know that the more unscrupulous would return to comb over the ruins taking anything of value once the Vanduul left, desecrating the fallen. They now seek those they deem as betrayers to the survivors of Caliban and their Howls for Vengeance echo through the stars. They went on to settle in the Stanton system relying on ex-military personnel to train them in the ways of war.

They now work as a Security and Trading service, moving goods across the ‘verse and building up their fleets, thanks to the Militia Mobilization Initiative. They look to take back the fight to Gangs, Criminals, and their ultimate enemy, the Vanduul. The Hounds carry out route security, mining and salvage operations, and direct cargo transportation. Anything someone needed, The Hounds of Anwnn can fulfill their request.

While The Hounds of Anwnn are primarily known as a lawful group, they have been seeing doing things of a more grey spectrum. Not entirely unlawful. Simply skirting the edge of what they can get away with.

They still make small raids on known Vanduul space to this day to test their mettle and await their chance to return and reclaim Caliban.

Why join THOA?

Becoming a member of THOA will allow you to participate in Organisation run events and operations and assistance in CIG run events like Xenothreat. We offer something for every player of different activities and commitment. We want to grow the size of our community so that there is always someone to play with, or ask a question to. Together we can see new sites, new ships, and explore all that Star Citizen has to offer.

We have three main branches of gameplay where you can join like minded players:

Combat:

This is for all you Bounty Hunters, Mercenaries, or Security Personnel. We look to work together as a team to get the jobs done and make sure our fellow Pack Members get where they need to go safely and securely. While also hunting those our Pack has marked as enemies. Without you we would simply be prey, the hunted, rather than the hunter.

Acquisitions:

This is where our Miners, Salvagers, Data Runners, and Explorers live. We want you to help each other find the best and safest routes. How to avoid those pesky pirates. Share critical information on potential mining or salvage operations. Help your fellow Pack Members get what they need. Without you we wouldn’t have the resources we need to secure our vengeance.

Transportation:

For all those needing to Ferry Troops, Give Medical Aid, Deliver a Box, or Hauling Cargo. This is your time to shine. Transportation doesn’t only encompass helping Acquisitions get their items to critical points, it’s about helping your fellow Pack Members get to combat zones, rescuing and helping the injured. You are the legs of the Pack. Without you we would not be able to secure our frontlines and expand our Pack.

Ranks:

Whelp – You are just starting out, finding your place in the pack.
Hound – You’ve hit your stride, found your place in the pack and working towards gaining veterancy.
Hellhound – The truly skilled of your chosen occupation, the one others look up to and wish to become. The veteran of your trade.
Pack Leader – You’ve stepped into the role of an Officer, you’re now leading your own small pack.
Pack Overseer – You’re the one giving directions to the Pack Leaders, forming a larger cohesive pack. You look at the big picture.
Pack Overlord – You’ve reached the top of the food chain. You look at theatre level engagements directing the overall direction of where the Pack will go.
