The Crimson Syndicate is older than starflight. What began as smuggling networks in the drowned cities of Old Earth evolved into a shadow economy that survived every government and every apocalypse. When the Exodus launched, the Syndicate already had operatives aboard every major colony ship.
Now they operate from hidden stations, running their empire like a corporation. Every raid is a business decision, every tribute demand a quarterly earnings target. They are polite, professional, and absolutely merciless.
Combat Style
Well-balanced forces with a focus on draining credits. The Syndicate extracts significantly more wealth from colonies than other raiders. They prefer extortion to destruction — but will follow through on threats without hesitation.
