E&R Corps

[sn8zzzer]

Several ships have been spotted in recent years, drifting through empty space, mining areas and trade hubs. They bear no distinct markings, but their broken and almost Junker-esque appearance cannot be mistaken. The IFF readings are none-existent, the call-signs seen on scanners are but model numbers of their ships, followed by the unknown tag '€œCorps'€. The weapons systems are a mashup of relics, suited more for a museum display than combat.

The crew of these vessels can only be classified as beings - they speak in riddles, bear horrific signs of mutilation on their humanoid bodies but none have ever been captured to confirm as human or other. These beings will frequently pick out lone trade vessels and target them with cryptic demands for their very crew to be transferred. Survivors have stated the beings actually appear to be further angered when offered cargo and credits in exchange for passage, even vaporising thousands of the most precious commodities in Sirius instead of hoarding them.

Others have stated that often overlook a vessel if silent and stationary, leading some to believe they are only attracted to speech and movement. Others have sworn the beings will leave if offered enemy pilots, luxury beef rations and even household pets that many a ship will have roaming about.

They have no apparent goals or ability to organize. The ships bearing the "Corps" flag appear to be interested only in hunting for food, in the form of live humans and animals, and basic supplies to keep themselves afloat. Survival of the fittest is their only apparent goal, experts have ascertained from numerous eyewitness reports.
