Umbral Dragons / UMDR

We Forge, We Thrive, We Rise.

The Umbral Dragons stand for independence, strength, and mastery over the elements of the ‘verse. We are crafters, traders, miners, salvagers, and healers, united by our pursuit of excellence and the will to shape our own destiny. Our actions are driven by a deep sense of honor, loyalty, and a commitment to those who stand with us.

1. Craft with Purpose
Our knowledge of materials and technology is unmatched. We build, refine, and create to strengthen ourselves and our allies, always pushing the boundaries of innovation. Everything we craft, from weapons to ships, serves a purpose: to empower and protect.

2. Trade with Honor
We believe in fair dealings and mutually beneficial relationships. Our trade routes span the stars, and our reputation is built on trust. We forge alliances and foster a network of partners, knowing that collaboration is key to thriving in the vast and unpredictable universe.

3. Mine for Wealth, Mine for Power
The depths of space are rich with resources, and we are the masters of extraction. From planets to asteroid fields, no resource is beyond our reach. Mining is our lifeblood, and through it, we build the future we envision.

4. Salvage with Precision
Where others see debris and wreckage, we see opportunity. Our salvagers are experts in recovering what others have lost, turning waste into wealth. Every ship we salvage, every scrap we reclaim, adds to the strength of the Dragons.

5. Rescue with Compassion
In a universe filled with danger, we do not abandon those in need. Our medical teams are trained to operate in the most hostile conditions, rescuing the injured and lost. But our compassion has limits—those who seek to exploit us will learn that the Dragons protect their own.

Our Creed
We are the Umbral Dragons. We live by our craft, thrive in the darkest reaches, and rise above all challenges. Our wealth, our power, and our honor are earned through action. We serve none but ourselves, and we fear no one. Together, we soar!
