Drusari Syndicate

• Smuggling & Contraband Trade – Moving restricted or illegal goods across faction-controlled borders.
• Espionage & Information Brokering – Selling secrets, blackmail, and manipulating political figures.
• Mercenary & Assassin Networks – Providing hired muscle and covert specialists for high-risk jobs.
• Financial Laundering & Shadow Markets – Controlling illicit economies that rival legitimate trade.

The Black Ledger, an encrypted database containing extensive records of galactic debts, political scandals, and hidden financial transactions, making the Syndicate untouchable—anyone who moves against them risks exposure. The existence of The Black Ledger is not confirmed. 

‍

Unlike traditional hierarchical crime syndicates, the Drusari Syndicate operates as a decentralized network, making it nearly impossible to dismantle.

‍

• The Silent Council – A group of shadowy figures who dictate the Syndicate’s long-term strategies and remain completely anonymous. Few even know if they are real, or if they are a myth designed to keep rivals in fear.
• The Shadow Princes – High-ranking crime lords controlling key aspects of the Syndicate, each specializing in smuggling, assassinations, finance, or blackmail operations.
• The Ledger Keepers – Operatives who safeguard the Black Ledger, ensuring that any attempt to disrupt the Syndicate results in catastrophic leaks of confidential information.
• Bloodbound Enforcers – Elite assassins and executioners tasked with eliminating traitors, rivals, or anyone who disrupts the Syndicate’s business.
• The Ghost Runners – Smugglers and blockade runners who specialize in moving contraband through high-security zones undetected.
• The Veil Watchers – Information brokers and master spies who control the flow of secrets across the galaxy.

Feared as the silent hand that controls the galactic underworld. Respected for its efficiency, secrecy, and ability to deliver results. Reviled by governments and corporate leaders who cannot remove its influence.

• The Mercantile League of Korr – The League despises the Syndicate’s black-market dominance, seeing it as an unregulated force that disrupts trade control. However, many League factions still deal with the Syndicate in secret.
• Helion Combine – The Combine and the Syndicate have clashing financial interests, with the Combine enforcing strict economic rules that the Syndicate actively undermines.‍
• The Eclipse Cartel – A chaotic criminal organization with no discipline, whose reckless actions often interfere with the Syndicate’s carefully crafted balance of power.

The Drusari Syndicate is not a government, a corporation, or an empire—it is a criminal empire woven into the fabric of galactic society. Its influence reaches every black market, every hidden deal, and every illicit trade network across the known systems.

‍

Unlike traditional crime organizations, the Syndicate does not rely on brute force alone. It is patient, calculating, and deeply embedded in the shadows, ensuring that its interests remain protected through corruption, financial leverage, and high-level manipulation.

‍

The Drusari claim no territory, yet entire planets operate under their rule through black-market trade dependencies and financial entanglements. Governments, corporations, and even rival factions all rely on the Syndicate in some capacity—whether for illicit goods, untraceable assassinations, or discreet financial dealings.

‍

There is only one rule in the Syndicate: Betrayal is paid in blood.

‍

The Drusari Syndicate is a shadow empire, thriving in the spaces where law and morality fail. It does not seek control through war or politics—it controls through secrets, fear, and absolute necessity.

‍

Even the most powerful rulers in the galaxy whisper in fear of the Syndicate, because the truth is simple:

‍

If you have power, the Syndicate already knows your secrets.
