Shard Combine Background

If hell were a prison-ship then the Avarice would make Lucifer shudder. A leviathan of the skies, the Avarice, was housed the most dangerous of criminals and fearless wardens. For generations it continued its never-ending orbit between twin black suns.

When pirates struck: the trajectory drive and fail safes were destroyed. The prisoners were released and the wardens responded: chaos and death followed. In an hour 1200 inmates and wardens would be die. During this time gangs of guards, inmates and in some cases both banded together to survive.

Bitter enemies make good allies in desperate times.

There were no times more desperate then these and as a result: the Shard Combine was born. Led by the infamous , Nex Nox, a group of guards and inmates formed an unlikely alliance. Realizing the Avarice was being pulled in toward the suns they made their escape through a series of heroic and unlikely battles. It was only by sheer luck they stumbled across the Pirates in mid-boarding action.

The fire fight was short but bloody. Each side took losses but Nex had battered favor with a pair of human cutters who made cut through the bulk of the corsairs. In the aftermath, only the newly inaugurated Shadow Combine survived. Commandeering the pirates ship they were able to flee the Avarice before it was torn apart by the gravitational pull of the dual suns.

Currently, the Shard Combine is a freelance mercenary force which works for the largest pile of credits.
