Vogel's Vandals was a pirate band of unspecified size and composition operating in Federated Suns territory.[1]

History[edit]

Vogel's Vandals was based on Macomb and led by remorseless leader Victor Vogel. Following a wave of Black Inferno attacks in 3015 that left numerous farm worlds undefended, the Vandals saw an opportunity to raid and regularly terrorize a vulnerable agricultural complex on Keytesville, stealing everything they could get their hands on and destroying everything else. Vogel was obsessed with the planet for some unknown reason, even though the rest of his group hated being there.[1]

Clinging to what little they had left and pooling their funds, the Coalition of Farmers hired a mercenary outfit to push back against the Vandals until their forces were depleted, forcing them to return to their home base to repair and regroup. The farmers picked up the location listening in on radio chatter, and fearing the Vandals' return for revenge later, they extended their contract with the mercenaries to include assassinating Victor Vogel. Afterward, the remaining Vandals chose to flee the region, leaving the farmers free to work their fields in peace.[1]
