Pirates gangs come in many sizes & motivations. Here is a sample of currently
operating pirates
operating pirates
| THE HOUSE OF LORDS |
The House of Lords is led by Captain Sir Bette Noire, an ex-Imperial Navy officer &
hero of the Fifth Frontier War. From an early age Bette was inspired by her idol,
Admiral Aes Ryoko Aani, Queen of the Liberty Hall pirates & seeks to become Aani's
spiritual daughter. Her nickname Onihime(or Aanemikh Aani in vilani) comes from
the Die Weltbundters, who named the Teufelprinzessin (devil princess) in the
mistaken belief she is their old nemesis's child.
The Lords engage in a variety of work on both sides of the law, piracy, privateering,
smuggling, blockade running, & mercenary work. She is also engage in a long term
feud against her uncle Douglas McKimmon, Tuablin, & Die Weltbund. Her work in
combating the slave trade in the region has made her a hero on numerous planets.
A Mikuum priestess, she often assumes that guise in smuggling operations. It is
rumored that her childhood religious training included psionics training on Lilith.
There has been no reliable confirmation of these hypothesis.
Most of the House of Lords members are either ex-Imperial navy who followed Bette
when she deserted or free traders who joined up for various reasons. Just prior to the
Nervenheilstalt conflict, the group enjoyed an influx of Die Weltbund naval &
merchant deserters-many of whom were natives of Nervenheilanstalt. The ethnic
makeup of the Lords is varied: Human, Darrian, Aslan, Vargyr, Poicxh, & Toishani,
making them a very colorful group.
The Lords have a tradition of providing for orphans & children rescued from
slavers(& other pirates). When possible, the Lords try to reunite children with their
families. When thats not possible, members of the group adopt or provide for the
children.
The House of Lords tends to use disguise & deception to mask their appearance &
activities on raids. However three basic techniques form the group's MO. Use of ship
to ship communication to hack into the ship's computer & take it down that way.
Secondly, the use of deception (false ID's, electronic deception, etc.) to pose as a unit
of the local system navy. Thirdly assault starting with jamming sensors & commos
followed by a warning on a closed link to stand down & surrender or face weapons
fire. If the victim fails to surrender in the given time or an energy surge (weapons,
engine, etc.) is detected, weapons fire is initiated targeting the jump drive to prevent
escape. Though she tries to avoid needless bloodshed, Bette will strike fast & hard to
end resistance quickly. Boarding parties, even on surrendered ships go heavily armed.
Bette's preferred weapons being gauss deck wreckers, shotguns loaded with HE, RAM
grenade launchers, & gauss SMG's.
Another feature of the House of Lords is the use of fighter craft for scouting & attack.
A technique now limited without a vessel large enough to launch & service a
squadron.
The group is also well fixed with grav APC's & AFV's for ground operations.
Tactical training is handling by Khea(see Rogues Gallery), Bette's Aslan 1st officer,
an ex-Imperial Army officer.
The Lords, like many free trader dominated pirates due not target free traders, seeing
them as allies, or in some cases, relations.
Preferential targets of raids are Stern-Hansa, Parallel Lines (even though Bette is
friends with one of the stockholders), Tuablin(& its many alias), LOFWIA, & any
pirate she deems fit to punish. In particular, her uncle 'Black Dog' McKimmon fall
under the latter foe. That conflict has about even with Bette's superior tactical skill
& better electronic warfare personnel(many of which are Poicxh) given her the edge.
The Lords have Letters of Marque from Lilith, St. Foy, Guildheim, Liberty Hall; &
Letters of Reprisal from Baron Manfred von Beck. During the Nervenheilanstalt
conflict the Lords held commisions in the von Beck Reitersquadron; with Bette as
Vice-Admiral & her captains as Kapitan.
After her year long imprisonment and/or false rumors of her demise by the Trelyn
Domain, the group fell apart. A few remained in the Liberty Hall/Maprepire
subsectors the rest died as mercs in the Gorian/Aslan conflict in the Trojan Reaches.
Ships lost to the Gorian conflict was the Viper class escorts Aiis Deluria & Thea
Mata, the Fenris class carrier Coraascesu, & the Broadsword class Kimohi.
Rescued by her lieutenants (secretly aided by Imperial agents) & mercs, she is
rebuilding the House of Lords. Strong in ships, she is short of personnel due to being
listed as a 'hazard' by her Dark Goddesses superiors. Despite this personnel shortage,
she has turned down the offer of her orphaned wards to crews her ships. She also has
acquired an scout base in an abandoned & 'dead' system orbiting & on the planet she
has named Tortuga after an ancient pirate stronghold.
Unknown to Bette, her easy desertion from the Imperial Navy & subsequent corsair
career has been a carefully orchestrated part of Darkling Orb's use of pirates as
catspaws for an overstretched Imperium.

| AMAKASH GANG |
Led by ex-belter Makasan Amakash, the gang specilizies in hijacking & barratry.
Instellar nomads they drift & operate though the Mapepire, Delta, Liberty Hall, Metchi'
Alagwa subsectors in the Beyond & Harem subsector in Foreven. constantly changing
appearances, ships & systems with no discernable pattern. Besides a core group
(rumored to be 8-15 people) their take on additional, expediable personnel as needed
who often take the fall for the real gang.
They prey equally on the ships of all nations, disdaining free traders only because they
don't have much to steal except the ship. Despite their origins, they like also to hit
belter operations(large or small) since they can be rich target & not well protected.
Makasan believes in the adage: 'Dead men tell no tales'. Often he plays a game with the
crew & passengers making them think they are safe until he gives the order to kill. If the
gang wasn't so skilled at covering their tracks they would probably have one of the
biggest bounties in the Beyond.

invaluable & longterm member of the gang. His favorite weapon is the blade, of which
he has a substantial collection. The prize of his collection is are two. The first, gold,
emerald encrusted blade he took off the body of Lord Stefan Tehivor, a Beaufort Lines
captain who ship he hijacked. The second he took off Sgt. Stefan Kiron, a retired
Imperial Marine he rolled on the casino planet Trayfowen. That blade is engraved with

the operation. Though completely amoral, he oddly feels pity for his victims after an
operation is finished. His preferred weapons are autopistols & armored gloves(adds 1
D6 to damage when used) which he punches opponents. Of the Amakash Gang
regulars, he is the most human.

| THE BLACK FANG |
| THE GEIER GRUPPE |
After the end of the Nervenheilenstalt War, the Die Weltbund Grand Navy squadron was ordered
to retire to Schloss Adler & face courtmartial proceedings. Part of the squadron (2 destroyers, 3
scoutships & an armed transport) under Helmuth Geier disobeyed orders & fled to St. Foy.
Trading one of the destroyers for sanctuary, Geier refitted his units for commerce raiding &
turned pirate. With the protection of the Duke of St. Foy, Geier raids up and down the Liberty
Hall & Die Weltbund subsectors sparing only St. Foy registered or allied ships. Ironically,
though, he still makes a profit from seizing crews from merchant ships & selling them to
Tuablin, Inc(who in turns sells them to Stern-Hansa)The bounties on him include 1M Cr. from
Beaufort Lines, 2M Cr. from the Razas of Guildheim, 3M Cr. from Stern-Hansa, & 4M Cr. from
the government of Die Weltbund. The DW Grand has a bounty of 25 M Cr. for the recovery of
the destroyer he defected with. He has a grudge against Bette Noire dating from the
Nervenheilanstalt War and is planning to take advantage of the breakup of the House of Lords

scoutships & an armed transport) under Helmuth Geier disobeyed orders & fled to St. Foy.
Trading one of the destroyers for sanctuary, Geier refitted his units for commerce raiding &
turned pirate. With the protection of the Duke of St. Foy, Geier raids up and down the Liberty
Hall & Die Weltbund subsectors sparing only St. Foy registered or allied ships. Ironically,
though, he still makes a profit from seizing crews from merchant ships & selling them to
Tuablin, Inc(who in turns sells them to Stern-Hansa)The bounties on him include 1M Cr. from
Beaufort Lines, 2M Cr. from the Razas of Guildheim, 3M Cr. from Stern-Hansa, & 4M Cr. from

| KETTER CROSS GANG |
The Ketter Cross Gang is an example of the small-time operator, most which have a very short
career. Led by Arvid Sang Tylos, a native of Abyss/Liberty Hall. The name of the gang comes
from the name of his ship; which incidently is the name of the village Arvid hails from. The
current Ketter Cross, a 200 tonne free trader is the 7th ship of that name. Usually M.O. is to
hit small landbased targets either from space or more often ground based sneak attacks. The
gang usually hits soft targets with not much to fight with & usually not much to steal.
However back home, his loot is priceless & he is regarded as a hero. Careful & cautious, Arvid
usually retreats if he meets heavy resistance; which isn't often due to his careful planning. Of
late, the gang's main profit comes from slave raiding or kidnapping; the latter usually under
direction of a larger criminal organization. Aside from their captain, the bounties on the rest
of the crew come to 122,000 Cr.
ARVID SANG TYLOS: UPP: A87A67. Human Male Pirate. Age 28. Medium length red

SKILLS: LEADER-1, PILOT-1, NAVIGATION-1, COMPUTER-1, SMG-2, VACC SUIT-1,

Amoral & cold, Arvid can be quite charming. His favorite weapon is the SMG, carrying a
standard 60 round weapon on a shoulder strap & an 22 round hideout SMG in a shoulder
holster.

with which she indulges her sadistic streak on victims.

Led by the saturnine Douglas Angland 'Black Dog' McKimmon, the Black Fang is the terror of the
coreward Beyond subsectors. Originally stationed in the Beyond as part of the Imperium's Darkling
Orb operation, McKimmon broke with the Imperium & fled to the protection of the Duchy of St. Foy.
To escape the Imperium he moved his operations to the Trojan Reaches from 1110-1112. Returning
to the Liberty Hall subsector with a fleet of 4 ships in 1113, he made Qat in the Delta subsector of the
Beyond. Recruiting heavily among the Vargyr population (much which are either transport prisoners
or their descendants), Black Dog has built his band into a formidable force, In his quest to gain alien
artifacts his ultimate goal is the 579-939 system with its ancient artifacts. To this goal he has
eliminated his brothers (the custodians of the system) & obtained their knowledge. This has proven a
hollow victory on two accounts. The first is killing his last brother while he was a guest of the Duke
of St. Foy, This has resulted in his permanment banishment from the St. Foy system. Secondly, while
dealing with the St. Foy authorities, his precious data was stolen by his niece & enemy Bette Noire.
With this information, Bette was able to beat him to 579-939 & take possession. Retreating to Qat, he
is nursing his pride & gathering strength.
A ruthless & able captain, Black Dog is fanatically independent, a trait he shares with most of his
Vargyr corsairs. Though not sadistic, he is unforgiving to victims who resist, killing most out of
hand. For those who really get on his bad side he subjects to McKimming. This is locking victim
without a vacc suit in an airlock destroying the controls that open the inner lock door. The victim is
left there with no food, no water, & is given the choiee between a slow death by starvation &
dehydration or opening the outer airlock for a quick & painful death.
McKimmon wears black gear with a stylized Vargyr's head for a helmet. He has made this mandatory
for the human members of his crew. Capt. McKimmon will often leave his 'black fang' logo at the
scene of his crimes to strike home terror in the hearts of his victims (or prospective victims).
Currently, Black Dog's fleet consists of three corsair plus whatever independents (usually Vargyr) who
join up for raids. Black Dog holds nor desires any letters of Marque, raiding anyone who has anything
worth stealing. He has in the past been hired for jobs by Tuablin & other criminal syndicates, or by
governments(such as Die Weltbund, where he has sanctuary), always with his best interests first.
Often he will doublescross a partner or patron if there is profit or self-interest to be had. For this
reason, even LOFWIA despises him and has him on their black list.
Though tolerant towards the eccentricities of his subordinates, that tolerance ends when those quirks
endanger his operations. He considers Capt. Marhax's recent purge as a possible sign of paranoia. If
he feels Marhax is becoming a threat to his control, McKimmon will replace him with a more stable
commander.

fur with red streaks. Laser scar on right hip. Four earrings in each ear.
SKILLS; PILOT-3, LASER-2, GAUSS GUN-2, BLADE-1, COMPUTER-4, VACC SUIT-2,
COMMO-1, TACTICS-1
A holdover from McKimmons old days in the Vargyr extants, Arg is now Black Dog's trusted
lieutenant. A daredevil pilot & a cunning hacker, he is fanatically loyal to his human captain. His
favored weapon is a gauss SMG.
GIROLINA GAULT: UPP: 8B866B. Female Pirate. Age: 18. 6' tall. Long black hair worn in a

PSIONICS: Level 9. Telepathy.
Girolina is the daughter of a Trelyn Domain merchant prince kidnapped by McKimmon in a raid on
Trayfowen 12 years ago. Because her spirited nature reminded him of his niece Bette Noire, Black
Dog kept her after her ransom was paid. Since then he has indoctrinated & moulded her into what
can be best described as 'Bette Noire' raised by wolves. Perversely, she has grown a strong attachment
to McKimmon & is now his most trusted human lieutenant aboard the 'Mistress of Pain'. She
commands the fighter squadron aboard the 'Mistress'. Her main weakness is that her captain's
fixation with Bette has infected Girolina. Her fascination with her master's enemy is fast becoming a
fetish, copying her mannerisms, collecting visuals of Bette, & even items once worn or possessed by
Bette. Her favorite weapons are the gauss SMG & the cutlass, the latter weapon she would like Bette
woman to woman, fighting on grav boards. She has a distinctive speech pattern due to her ordeal, a
kind of pidgin Vargyr/Galangic spoken in a sensual, husky voice.

War & part of McKimmon's original crew on the 'Mistress'. He follows McKimmon because he's a
lucky, brave, & scary leader. If Black Dog should falter, well maybe there be a new captain. His
favorite weapon is the auto shotgun, usually loaded with HE.
GHARVIN SHRAU. UPP: 8A6AA3. Vargyr Male Pirate. Age 45. 6' 2" tall. Blue eyes. Grayish fur
with black mask & streak across head & black markings on tail making look like a raccoon. Tail is

Another holdover from McKimmon's original Vargyr crew, Gharvin is a ruthless technical genius
utterly loyal to his captain. Favorite tricks are to use an opponent's robots or anti-hijack defenses
against them. Though he carries two dual-purpose lasers, his preferred weapons are warbots.

IISS on Hardass he was captured by 'Black Dog'. He is now the pirate's pet specialist on Ancient
technology. Though being allowed to work on Ancient tech than he was in all his years in the
Imperium, he is very resentful of his captivity.

Only other survivor on Dr. Rowe's party. One discovering his pilot skills, he was given the choice of
joining McKimmon's crew or die. Since then, he has become a wholehearted pirate. He is the
'Mistress' relief pilot as well as piloting one of the ship's fighters. His favorite weapon is the blade,
which he often poisons the edge.
RED RAUFFL. UPP: ABB866. Vargyr Male Pirate. Age: 29. 6' 4" tall. Shaggy, reddish fur,
black muzzle.. Pale blue eyes. 6 earrings in each ear, gold & jeweled collar.

worth stealing. He has in the past been hired for jobs by Tuablin & other criminal syndicates, or by
governments(such as Die Weltbund, where he has sanctuary), always with his best interests first.
Often he will doublescross a partner or patron if there is profit or self-interest to be had. For this
reason, even LOFWIA despises him and has him on their black list.
Though tolerant towards the eccentricities of his subordinates, that tolerance ends when those quirks
endanger his operations. He considers Capt. Marhax's recent purge as a possible sign of paranoia. If
he feels Marhax is becoming a threat to his control, McKimmon will replace him with a more stable
commander.

A holdover from McKimmons old days in the Vargyr extants, Arg is now Black Dog's trusted

PSIONICS: Level 9. Telepathy.
Girolina is the daughter of a Trelyn Domain merchant prince kidnapped by McKimmon in a raid on
Trayfowen 12 years ago. Because her spirited nature reminded him of his niece Bette Noire, Black
Dog kept her after her ransom was paid. Since then he has indoctrinated & moulded her into what
can be best described as 'Bette Noire' raised by wolves. Perversely, she has grown a strong attachment
to McKimmon & is now his most trusted human lieutenant aboard the 'Mistress of Pain'. She
commands the fighter squadron aboard the 'Mistress'. Her main weakness is that her captain's
fixation with Bette has infected Girolina. Her fascination with her master's enemy is fast becoming a
fetish, copying her mannerisms, collecting visuals of Bette, & even items once worn or possessed by
Bette. Her favorite weapons are the gauss SMG & the cutlass, the latter weapon she would like Bette
woman to woman, fighting on grav boards. She has a distinctive speech pattern due to her ordeal, a
kind of pidgin Vargyr/Galangic spoken in a sensual, husky voice.

organizations. Their name derived from the nickname they received from the Die
Weltbunders('Sturmreiters") for their tactics of attacking & disappearing into Jeldemnar's gas
giant. Their ships are mixture of scoutships except for their main raider, the 'Retaliation'. This
vessel is a 1000 tonne nickel-iron asteroid. The Stormriders besides carrying Letters of Reprisal

IIRE FORTUNA
The 'Iire Fortuna' is a 250 year old free trader that plies the shipping lanes from Harem,
Mapepire, Liberty Hall, Delta, & Die Weltbund subsectors. Like many free traders, they live in a
gray area where the fine line between trader & pirate is very, very blurry. Their main cash cow is
smuggling proscribed items in & out of Die Weltbund territory. Operating through careful
planning & stealth, the group tries to avoid conflict. But if cornered, they will fight, & fight
well. They have no permanent port & operate under various names & licenses.
As most free trader corsair they refrain from attacking free trader ships. On the other hand, they
take delight in 'liberating' pirated or confiscated free traders. They have a special dislike for
Stern-Hansa & the Die Weltbund Grand Navy. They have occasionally worked with the House
of Lords, especially in the Nervenheilanstalt War where they handled smuggling operations.

Mapepire, Liberty Hall, Delta, & Die Weltbund subsectors. Like many free traders, they live in a
gray area where the fine line between trader & pirate is very, very blurry. Their main cash cow is
smuggling proscribed items in & out of Die Weltbund territory. Operating through careful
planning & stealth, the group tries to avoid conflict. But if cornered, they will fight, & fight
well. They have no permanent port & operate under various names & licenses.
As most free trader corsair they refrain from attacking free trader ships. On the other hand, they
take delight in 'liberating' pirated or confiscated free traders. They have a special dislike for
Stern-Hansa & the Die Weltbund Grand Navy. They have occasionally worked with the House
of Lords, especially in the Nervenheilanstalt War where they handled smuggling operations.

| DEIAS MAGHIZ |
The Deias Maghiz is a group of Dark Goddesses pirates operating in the Liberty Hall subsector.
The gang is built up of 3 assault boats (1 100 tonne, 2 50 tonne) operating out of a 1000 tonne
X-Boat used as a mothership, also called Deias Maghiz. A small group they normally use war &
security robots as part of their operations; though on occasion they will recruit ground fighters.
They are also unusually for pirates in that they have a working relationship with an Imperial
front organization, Phoenix Couriers(they also hold 8% of Pheonix stock), often taking jobs,
acting as a relay point, or a refueling base. Deias Maghiz also have two associated Dark
Goddesses 100 tonne Serpent Class scoutships; the Wailing Spirit ( Capt. Desiree Maya Li, also a
pilot for Phoenix Couriers) & the Spendthrift ( Capt. Agra Ariel Juliott). The ship bay of the
Deias can handle 600 tonnes of ship with bay doors closed & even larger ships with bay doors
open. This allows the mothership to transport another vessel at Jump-1, though normally
captures are usually operated by prize crews (with any needed drive repairs down in the ship
bay). The Deias Maghiz normally runs a nomadic circuit through the Liberty Hall subsector
from Guildheim to St. Foy, taking on jobs as they come & gathering & delivering information.
In the current standoff between St. Foy & Guildheim, they have very quietly decided to side with
the Razas of Guildheim, especially since the Guildheim system is their major refit center.
Despite Bette Noire's 'Hazard' status, they have chosen to kept in touch with the House of Lords
& share information.

her preferred method is electronic warfare to neutralize or seize an enemy ship. Onb land, she
manuvers to isolate enemy units & destroy them piecemeal in overwhelming assaults, grab the
loot & escape before pursuit or counter-attack can be mounted. Sola has an intense dislike of
needless killing of both her crew & merchant crew of her victims. However, she is not so
charitable of military opponents - though usually this means Die Weltbunders, her usual
opponents who have an earned reputation for ruthlessness. Her prefers dark blue clothing
