Shadow Hunter Task Force
A battlegroup formed around a small cadre of Kiffar warriors who survived the Black Sun purges of Kiffex and Kiffu, as well as other disparate groups from across the galaxy, including significant Chiss and Falleen contingents. The Task Force specializes in peacekeeping and rescue operations, but members have been known to take on a wide variety of mission profiles as the situation calls for it.
Base of Operations
Port Nowhere (Luxury Space Colony)
Formed out of the hulk of a abandoned Lictor-class Dungeon Ship, the origins of the deep space colony known as Port NoWhere have been long forgotten. Whether converted to a base by a group of pirates, or colonized by refugees fleeing from some distant conflict, the former prison ship has become a thriving community for those with no where else to go.
While not originally based out of the colony, it became home to the mercenary group after they defended the inhabitants from a large group of slavers. Having been exiled from their homes in the Azurbani system, many of the Kiffar Shadow Hunters moved their families off their warships and on to the colony, to the mutual benefit of both groups. They were likewise joined by representatives from the displaced Chiss and Falleen populations of the task force, leading to a thriving settlement building up around the once derelict space station.
Task Force Organizational Structure
Command Staff
Shadow Hunter Captain's Council
Port Nowhere's leaders were grateful at the Falleen's timely arrival and offered to repair the Carrack of the damage it had sustained in the recent battle and house the crew. With the Federation still reeling from the death of the King and the losses at Beta, Neiki knew that it would likely be a significant amount of time before a retrieval ship would be able to be dispatched to the remote location, so he accepted the offer. Over the coming months Neiki and the crew of the Wrath formed a strong bond with the station's residents, even lending their expertise to a counter-offensive aimed at nearby pirate strongholds, eventually breaking their grip on the area entirely. It was from this campaign that the Shadow Hunter Task Force found it's beginnings, striking back at those who would hide in the shadows to prey on the weak. |
