Eyttyrmin Pirates Reborn as Night Fangs Swoop Gang
By Vessa Ordell, Senior Correspondent
Outer Rim, Y26 D169 – The Eyttyrmin Pirates have rebranded, emerging as the Night Fangs Swoop Gang, a name that signals a harder, more ruthless identity. This isn’t just a change in name—it’s a declaration of intent.
Led by President Krodo Rask, the gang has evolved beyond deep-space piracy, embracing the raw, untamed culture of outlaw swoop riders. “We aren’t just drifting in the void anymore,” Rask said. “We’re taking the fight to the streets, the routes, and wherever power is up for grabs. We don’t beg. We don’t bargain. We take.”
The Brotherhood Rides Strong
The gang’s hierarchy reflects its sharpened focus on discipline and dominance. Vice President Palgrave Dampier, formerly the Pirates’ Quartermaster, ensures the crew stays well-armed, well-supplied, and ready to strike at a moment’s notice. Road Captain K`ala Zaktu, once the crew’s Machinist, now commands the gang’s enforcement—making sure loyalty is absolute and consequences are severe.
“Our reputation isn’t changing,” Dampier stated. “We’ve always taken what we wanted, whether in space or on the ground. The difference now? We’re faster, more focused, and we hit harder.”
Zaktu was even more direct. “Respect isn’t given. It’s earned—or taken. If you don’t ride with us, you stay out of our way.”
Pirates, Raiders, and Outlaws
Though the gang has moved away from fleet engagements, piracy remains at its core. Hijackings, smuggling, and high-risk raids will continue as mainstays, but the Night Fangs are expanding their reach. Their swoops aren’t just tools of speed—they’re weapons, used for fast, calculated strikes on convoys, high-value targets, and any operation that puts credits in their pockets.
Authorities remain on high alert, expecting a surge in organized attacks. Intelligence reports indicate that the Night Fangs have already begun staking claims in key smuggling lanes and swoop territories. Settlements have been warned: the gang does not arrive quietly, and they do not leave empty-handed.
What began as a pirate crew has now become something more—a nomadic force built on loyalty, strength, and the unbreakable code of the outlaw rider. The Night Fangs don’t just exist in the underworld. They own their piece of it.
