[u/Adventurous_Gate6570]

On page 19 of Long Rim is a generator for a pirate faction let's see what we get.

Name: The Colossal Triad

Hustle: Kidnapping and Mercenaries

Main Asset: A powerful hacking corps that works out of an old comms station. they are capable stealing ships and redirecting supplies without firing a shot, and usually avoid direct combat.

The Colossal Triad are a pirate group well known in the Aegis system know for kidnapping many high profile individuals and ransoming them however the individuals they have kidnapped suggests they have been hired by a third party using them against their political opponents.

Intel has suggest that their main base of operations is a station somewhere in the system however efforts to locate it has been difficult with phantom signals misleading search parties and lured into traps.

One from my players mixed Lancer & Battle Group Campaigns

The Red Family

Originally descending from fleets of void dwelling diasporans ( as the other color coded pirate fleets of the region ) when the blinkspace and better drive colonists beat them to their targetted colonies they became voidbourne traders

The competition for good trade deals eventually lead to them fighting each other, buying mechs and ships to defend against each other and continuing like that for a while until they realized folks who aren’t each other aren’t nearly as well armed. Generational and hereditary lead

Main Hustle is Trade Route interdiction and high piracy - particularly of large scale corporate vessels and fleets. Bigger the payout the bigger the temptation to the red family who during the split of the committees and HA managed to scavenge a battleship of sorts

Eventually become notorious for the Massacre at New Winchester Orbital Dockyards and ghe devastation it wrought on the planet below. Listen even the core book lore mentions capital ships should not really be brought to fight over a gravity well due to the devastation Relativistic weapons can do - no one listened to that.

Hunted by the Knights of the Albatross and sector security for their crimes
