The Black Conclave was founded in the year 3305 and in the beginning it didn’t seem like an organisation. It was just two commanders flying to the thrum of their own engines. Then three of the sectors best pilots joined the original crew and suddenly the desire to make the galaxy a safer place was able to be realised in real time, hard assets, full holds and chattering cannons.Controlling four carriers in their inception phases and ever expanding, along with command of a significant financial base the new Faction was born in the fires of retribution in Muthnui, Herz 13422, Inti and LHS 1358. It grew, swiftly recruiting members, most of whom originated from the Southern Axis of Independent Nation States. Welcoming of young pilots, pilots making a new start and often veterans. it rapidly grew in its capacity to influence near space.
As an Independent faction, the Black Skull Conclave are loosely allied with other veteran factions and composed of privateers and deadly, ex-military fighter pilots. The Black Conclave strives to rid near space of criminal gangs and to protect the innocent and the weak as they ply their trade amongst the stars. They do this is the domesticated space trading lanes around bubble ports, on the fringes of civilisation, when the weeds come knocking and on foot too. Every member of the group obeying a strict but simple code, the pilots regularly complete solo missions or small team objectives. Pooling their assets, their progress and all benefitting from the mutual protection of their flying fortresses, the Conclave hands out lessons in good manners and kindness with monotonous regularity to aliens, pirates and every form of manifold scum in the universe.
Meeting in bars and ports all over the sector they wing up and fly together as effective cells; however, the Conclave retains the right for members and allied wings to act independently to their express advantage. This is part of the operational flexibility that they believe must be present to ensure that the Conclave is always a well-supplied and opportunistic beast that satisfies all appetites. Whenever possible, they wing up for the purposes of Conclave business, to the dread of their enemies. Working hard to excel in Bounty Hunting, Trade, Mining, Training and Xeno Hunting.
Individually they are pure rock & roll, suiwer swing & sokkie, pointed punch & pepper. Together, they are a lethal mix of independence and carefully planned team logistics. They make light of their role sometimes and when the drinks are flowing, they can seem frivolous; however, the intelligent observer notes their worn flight suits, their friendships and alliances and their deep knowledge of spacecraft and realises that they are in the presence of true spacers.
A faction that is securing the sector, exploring the equinoxes, and making the universe a better place one cloud of space debris at a time.
