The New Network Of Archon Delaine

For a year now the Kumo Crew have been associated with the crime lord of the Pegasi sector. It is well known that this group of criminals supply their special flavour of contraband and 'law enforcement' to any systems that resist Archon. What has also become increasingly clear are the number of other factions now willing to side with Delaine.

As efforts to undercut and repel the advancement of his illegal maneuverings have been rebuffed a surge in the number of corrupt governors, factions and leaders has been noted. Criminals that once watched from the sidelines to see the result of the intense Pirate war feel emboldened and are beginning to form an intricate web of protection and service around the notorious ruler. While legitimate trade routes still exist there has been a boom in the number of reported black markets throughout the last 12 months and many now deem these the 'safer' way to make money.

The growth of this network makes it more challenging for the bounty hunters and investigators of the empire to locate the elusive self styled king and bring him to justice. Never the less, many still vow to do so. The frontier has never been more perilous or rewarding for those who will brave it.

Archon Launches Blitz on Gliese 828.4

The citizens of Gliese 828.4 discovered that rumors of Delaine's demise were apparently exaggerated. The crime lord focussed unprecedented power on the system, defeating thousands of security forces and stamping his authority on future proceedings.

Many had anticipated an easier defense due to the quiet of previous weeks but Archon's commanders brought everything from Anacondas to Eagles as they blitzed their opponents. Millions of credits had been offered to commanders who defeated large numbers of the Gliese security forces and the result has been a flurry of ranks and titles handed out to Delaine's followers. One commander described the combat scene as a "turkey shoot."

Newly produced Kumo narcotics have once more found their way into multiple systems beyond their current frontier and citizens have been left wondering if they will be next.

The True Evil's Of Piracy

Is Piracy the new norm? "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." So say the ancient philosophers, and perhaps it's true. In this day and age it's difficult to tell. One man's evil is another man's good.

Enter Archon. For a galactic year he has terrorized the Pegasi sector. At first he was considered a mere upstart needing to be put down. Then he became a thorn in the side of the Empire. Before long the now well documented actions in Cuchua brought about the Pegasi War which at one stage involved all four of the most powerful factions within the Imperium. His name became synonymous with evil.

What now? If good men did do something and the result was nothing then where then does humanity turn? Has the Kumo Crew become immoveable and what does this mean for galactic peace? These are the questions many of the galaxies movers and shakers now ponder.
