Fortuna Rebels was one of the major pirate factions in the Conglomerate. Being the most powerful ideologically driven pirate faction in space, and the longest lasting, Fortuna met its brutal end in 2254 against Iron Corporation.

History
Fortuna was founded by anarchists on Earth in 2220. Under the leadership of Rosa Harmon, Fortuna staged multiple terrorist attacks across the world, and was labelled a terrorist organization by the old UN in 2223. It operated in the shadows for years.

With the discovery of the Conglomerate, Fortuna took control of several stolen cargo vessels and sneaked into the colonization fleets in disguise as traders. Upon reaching the Conglomerate, they settled in the unclaimed sector of Solace and began raiding ships in the Gatopea-Beta Pindola trade route.

The original base of operations was dismantled by SOM forces during the establishment of the Machine Realm, while Fortuna took refuge in the New Conglomerate. Things went well for Fortuna during the following years, until the formation of Steel Collective, whose forces persecuted the raiders until they were forced to abandon the system once again.

In the Wildlands, Fortuna managed to build its base in the fringes of Proxima Dendila. After a very successful attack against their new nemesis, Planet Company, Fortuna got a hold of a shipment of Refinery parts that were sold to the former Enclave diplomat, Decrux in exchange for assistance in taking out Planet's stronghold.

Decrux sold the location of Fortuna's base to Iron Corporation, which immediately destroyed it, putting an end to Fortuna Rebels.

Economy
Fortuna was a raiding and smuggling faction, who gained wealth by attacking merchant convoys, mining operations and dealing lucrative drugs.

Functions
Fortuna intented to establish an anarchist "nation". Among others, the main beliefs of Fortuna were centered around the idea that freedom is essential to any civilization, and that any attempt to organize a society under a state is inherently contradictory to a free society. As such, Fortuna despises both governments and corporations for their extent of power over people.
