The Hidden SHades

The Hidden Shades (Hs) Are know as the Eclipse as respresented through their coat of arms (A flare) . They were formed by a man of the name: Captain John Rolands. Rolands Decided that in order for the Corsair way of life to become forfilling and wonderful, the
Universe must be divided into: Those that support the corsairs and those that don't.
With this He could build on a corsair empire. He did not wish to get recruits from generations
of corsair, but instead leave arms wide open to those that are fit for the challenge.

Rolands Found the best way to recruit was send out scouts to roam Sirus in search of worthy members. If Piolts where offered the chance of a lifetime and accepted they would be put to the test. Tests of loyalty, Trust, dedication and the piolting ability to take down a fleet of bounty hunters. But if a piolt was given the offer and refused or he failed to pass the four test he must be assignated,for he may ruin the way of the Hidden Shade forever.

Rolands method was quite differnet to many other Corsair societies. Instead of payment Roland would
present his new members with a house, a rank and a ship according to his place within the Hs. The higher the
rank within the guild, the larger the ship. With different Ranks being given to specific ships the guild work very effectivly and achieved
what they set out to do. Unlike other Corsair factions every part of the guild is taken into account. Ranks
can range from merceneries to traders, all vital parts to our way of life

Still keeping 98% of Rolands tradions the Hs has continued to function,
but by two new leaders:



Name:--------Lance Roland
CODENAME:---(Hs)Blizzard{*C*}
Shiptype:--- ???????

Name:--------Kyle Roland
CODENAME:---(Hs)FireStromer{*C*}
Shiptype:--- ???????

Today the Hiden Shades focus on new technology, to build an empire of well fitted space crafts. Allien technology is in prime use.
Once the power can be harnesed and controled it can deliever a powerful punch. So the Hidden Shades spend, lot of time on scienetific
expeditions. Searching for nomad vessels to anilize. The only way a nomad can be completely removed form it's ship is via destruction.
The destruction of the nomad infestation keeps the locals happy, building a positive influence in the commnity.

The Hs gathering point is bassed on Tripoli Station (Omicron Gamma) in the HS*HQ, which at the current time is being moved. The HQ has
been fitted out with the latested in 'Analises. de'Vos' technology. This includes Laboratory, private hanger and an armoury; containing
modified allien weapons.
