Galactic Hounds

Foundation: 12th April 2245

Leader: Kevin Smith

Power: Strong

Wealth: 1-2 million credits

Predecessor: Fortuna Rebels

Galactic Hounds is the current dominant raiding faction in Wild Space.

History
The Galactic Hounds were founded by fleeing Fortuna Rebels members who took refuge in the Wildlands. These men and women, under the control of (in)famous raider Kevin "Lizard" Smith, were still pirates at heart, but wished to trade the ideological foundation of Fortuna for a completely profit only organization. The group began recruiting and attacking poorly defended convoys and quickly became a powerful pirate faction.

Economy
The Galactic Hounds military outposts are hidden deep in the fringes of the Wildlands' sectors. Several bounty hunters and Iron Corporation attempt to track them, but only a few are ever found and destroyed. It is suspected that the Hounds communications are some of the most sophisticated among pirates.

Due to Enclave fleet operations, USC's patrols and Templar Corporation's dedicated warriors, the Galactic Hounds do not leave the Wildlands.

Functions
The Galactic Hounds engage in active raiding and plundering. They sometimes participate in smuggling, though insignificantly.
