Affiliation Mercenary
Pirate
Parent Command Independent

The Blades of Death were a failed mercenary unit that turned to piracy.

History[edit]

Founded by a group of disaffected officers of Lyran descent.[1]

Though noted as former mercenaries, the Blades of Death were already considered outlaws when they staged a raid on the Outworlds Alliance world of Risin in 3035 to steal a lostech cache, destroying the mercenary unit Jureck's Jaegers in the process. In their typical fashion, the Blades of Death killed the Jaegers' officers and enslaved the survivors. One slave, Woodrow Ethan Allen, was sold on to new masters in the Marian Hegemony after many years.[2]

In the waning days of the Succession Wars, the Blades of Death raided the world of Hazeldean[3] and Maxwell[4].

As of 27 December 3074 the Duchy of Andurien was rumored to have some sort of deal with the Blades of Death or have issued them a Letter of Marque.[5]

In May of 3077, the Blades of Death struck the world of Inarcs stealing some 324 tons of supplies from the Acrux Incorporated warehouse outside Oak Grove, mostly nonperishable foodstuffs, before fleeing in the face of the Blackstone Highlanders after causing considerable collateral damage. Some reportedly speculated that Duchess Tamari LaRue was somehow linked to the attack, given political wrangling about her Inarcs Archonette.[6] The wording of the report suggests that at least one other planet had been raided by the Blades of Death relatively shortly before.
