Traditionally Dread Pirates had allowed a small cadre of Defilers of Zann Consortium into Dread, to serve as support and identification of potential recruits of Zann. In Year 18 , upon stepping down as Crime Lord of Zann, Ximaro removed all active Defilers from Dread, allowing only former members of the syndicate to join who would were willing to dedicate their themselves strictly to the goals of Dread only. In addition Dread no longer served under the Zann umbrella, but remained allies of the government. Following in the same manner as before Dread would continue to recruit non Zann affiliated members to the outfit of any alignment or belief.

Structure

Two designation of Pirate exist within Dread. Independents are given rights to do as they please and Dread Pirate who are crew members that commit acts for the advancement of Dread endeavors.

Two forms of rank exist in the pirate group, which are unproven and proven.

A sub rank known as Black Hood exists for proven members who have proven the ability to assassinate enemies.

Tactics

Dread Pirates primarily focus on kidnappings, murders, schemes, raids and theft for profits against corporations, governments and persons. Treacherous members are publicly executed to serve as a warning to those who attempt the same actions.Dread in addition upholds an equally long tradition of marooning exiled members on various planets that are often deemed inescapable hostile environments.

While Dread is known for its lack of defined organized structure, it prefers civil disputes between members to be resolved with minimal conflict and permission to be requested if violence between once party feels is necessary. In addition, the Dread continues its long tradition of secrecy for operations, and members who violate the tenant are punished according to what is lost from the outfit.

Lastly, Dread does not enforce membership strictly, and unproven raiders and proven alike are able to come and go from the gang as they please as long as it does not violate any operations, or cause any conflicts. The relaxed pace of membership allows sentient's from all walks of life, whether friends or enemies to join and leave Dread with little obligation, or concern for personal safety, regarding potential retaliation from the pirate gang.

History

Shane Tayjer

From Black Sun to Zann Consortium, Shane Tayjer briefly lead Zann Consortium before handing over the reins to Ximaro Jix to ensure Zann Consortium would become a fully driven and successful crime syndicate. Shane remained in Zann Consortium serving as a Defiler and Cell Leader, conducting many operations including the assassination of an Imperial Stormtrooper.

Shane would eventually leave Zann Consortium, creating the pirate outfit Dread, under the umbrella of Zann Consortium joining alongside the then enforcers Dark Star Hellions at the time . While Hellions focused on traditional bounty hunting and mercenary work as well as banditry, Dread focused on strictly on piracy and raiding to achieve its ends. In Year 16, Shane retired to regions unknown leaving his gang to be ran by Ximaro Jix who would shuffle it between himself and Robert Reynolds.

=Year 15

On approximately day 210 Austin Tech Shipyards a ship manufacturing organization was shut down following a looting during several market trades, by Dread pirates Kalen von Lorell along with leader Shane Tayjer. Days before the closure of the rising ship production company, founder of the organization Jonas Austin issued several bounties on the Dread members along with affiliates Zann Consortium . An event which cast a cloud of suspicion over owner Jonas who claimed he was unable to pay back customers who had been stolen from by Kalen, but was able to set extremely high rewards for warrants, which he could pay. In the time that followed up until closure of the group, Austin Tech would come under much scrutiny from the same public eyes the owner appealed to for pursuit of the criminals that had robbed him.

Year 18

Day 128 The Scourge pirate outfit dissolved following a conflict with Dread pirates. The violence ensued in previous weeks when a former member of a rogue cell of Dread buccaneers known as The Black Light Pirates , and current leader of The Scourge, Sy`ko Sacul kidnapped Dread member Yalan`kir Dirosk for unknown reasons. Rather than negotiate for their unproven pirates life Dread retaliated against their enemies from within utilizing long time proven pirate, Zade Soze. As a result of the assault, Sacul himself would later go into hiding to avoid further Dread attacks. Following the disbanding of Scourge pirates, Zane Apex current leader of Dread, explained clemency would be given to all former members of The Scourge, who wished to join Dread, without tribute. Zane went on to explain that while Dread did not disband the opposing crew themselves, had Sy`ko not challenged Dread; his organization would still be thriving. Zane then issued an additional statement to all of Sacul's former members to not follow in their former leaders footsteps, or those of the misguided Black Light group.
