The Marauders mercenaries have wondered endlessly throughout Sirius taking on jobs that most would flee from! Our curse has always been one of always fighting for the simplest of lifes. For we ourselves where also ravaged as a people our only crime was longing to find our place in this hostile universe. We started as a tight group of fugitives, renegades and remnants of lost worlds in need of a home to call our own, knowing the path would be long and full of trials. This is our story to tell. Let no one claim it is theirs, for we do not defend our name with just words!
Volker, Hamlet and Wicked all would meet at Arkha base to consult with their customers or each other. We had formed early relationships within Sirius' borderworlds with all sorts of characters; some not so welcomed... Our knowledge of Admiral Caspire’s use of a lethal biological weaponry, that kills by homing in on the DNA codes of its victims, brought a lot of unwanted visitors to our doorsteps. Our dislike of him brings us to secretly plot his demise. Hamlet just married Anne, a Sirius high-ranking Diplomat that promises leverage in Europa’s High Command.
Anne since birth has always known she was blood of the ancients bestowed with the ability to see glimpses of the future and sense the intentions of those around her. She also can communicate with certain beings and the wild creatures outside the city shields on her home world. She does not get out of the city as much as she would like and when off-world, she is in intense Diplomatic negotiations. Negotiating with key Sirius House diplomats to allow passage for Marauders trading convoys was key to the strengthening of the friendship between Volker and Hamlet. The Marauders, in secret, will partially fund the construction of several gates and refurbishing of a couple of bases as part of the deal.
After the arrest of Admiral Caspire, a new commander took his place on the high counsel. The new commander quickly jumped at the occasion to strengthen the presence of its long time secred allies. Augustus had a long history with the Marauders, hiring them for a numerous amount of jobs and even thinking to drop his political career to join them after they saved his life in the Unknown systems. This is the political environment, then commander Volker and his colleagues had been waiting a lifetime for. Everything is in play and the time is now for a major move in extending the Marauders longevity.
Anne now closes a deal with the Junkers that will allow the Marauders to build a quick response fleet and increase trade all over Sirius. All of Anne’s efforts to keep the Marauders and their allies system together as lead to tremendous diplomatic advance. The Junkers have been very pleased to help, however Anne is unsure whether friendship or profit… A little of both perhaps...
Her abilities has been clouded as of late. Dark times cover the essence of the universe in a murky ether.
The Marauders fleet gathered, and their security detail joins Augustus for future operation strategies. Volker, Hamlet and Wicked finally see the dream of establishing the Marauders as a notable force nearer to the finish line. The days ahead will be full of hardships and trials but no one said keeping your head high in Sirius would be easy. A dauntless task at best.
A communication is sent to the High Command, Volker sets out to meet them.
"We, the Marauders, are watching you, learning from you, living with you, helping, trading and providing services to everyone with deep enough pockets, but we are willing to die only for us.”
