Organizations in Solar Echoes (part 4)


Pirates are no longer the disorganized vagabonds they were once considered to be, and UG intel has indicated that pirating has become such a profitable practice that all major criminal syndicates employ at least several different pirate gangs. It has been viewed as a symbiotic relationship: pirates gain private backing to support common pirating needs, such as starship refueling, maintenance, and ammunition restocking. Syndicates gain a relatively steady supply of goods and illegal contraband through the pirates they support, reaping a large percentage of the profits. Supply is often distributed among various smuggling operations, money launderers, and front companies, making it a nightmare to trace for the Union Guard and regional law enforcement.
