In the sprawling expanse of the ‘Verse, the Fang Syndicate rules the shadows. From high-stakes gambling dens to blood-soaked fight pits, their reach extends across the cosmos. Smuggling, extortion, information, and black market deals—these are their trade.
Founder: Zane Savage
Zane, a former member of the Nine Tails gang, found himself betrayed during a high-stakes drug deal. Left for dead, he emerged from the shadows with a burning desire for revenge and a determination to forge his own path. Zane’s journey began with humble street-level operations, including drug trade and hosting underground fighting events. In the pits of the streets he quickly attracted like-minded individuals, forming the core of what would become the Fang Syndicate.
Street-Level Operations
The early days of the Fang Syndicate were marked by gritty street-level activities. Zane’s crew engaged in drug trafficking, using their connections to distribute illicit substances across the galaxy. Their reputation grew as they navigated the dangerous underworld, always one step ahead of law enforcement and rival gangs.
The Fangs.
Zane surrounded himself with a diverse group of individuals—each possessing unique skills and backgrounds. From seasoned fighters to brilliant hackers, the Fang Syndicate became a formidable force. Their loyalty to Zane was unwavering, fueled by shared survival instincts and a desire to thrive in a cutthroat environment.
Diversification: Smuggling, Extortion, and More
As the Fang Syndicate expanded its influence, they diversified their criminal portfolio. Smuggling became a lucrative venture, moving contraband through hidden routes and evading authorities. Extortion rackets targeted the wealthy, ensuring a steady stream of credits. Information brokering allowed them to manipulate power dynamics, pulling strings behind the scenes. And loan sharking? Well, that was just business—albeit with a serrated edge.
The Fang Syndicate Today
In the present day, the Fang Syndicate operates in the darkest corners of the galaxy. Their influence extends beyond mere crime; they manipulate markets, topple governments, and hold secrets that could reshape entire star systems. Zane Savage, now an enigmatic figure, remains at the helm, orchestrating their moves from the shadows.
Origins and Ambitions
The Fang Syndicate emerged from the needs of a fractured society. As the UEE (United Empire of Earth) expanded its reach, so did the void between the haves and the have-nots. The Syndicate’s founders saw opportunity where others saw chaos. Their vision? To seize control of the shadows, to become the unseen hand that filled the illicit needs of the people.

In the bowels of asteroid stations, the Blood Pit hosts brutal gladiatorial combat. Syndicate bosses sponsor fighters, betting fortunes on their survival. The crowd roars as blood spills.
The victors earn cash and make a name for themselves. The losers? Well, if they survive they can get stronger for another chance at the prize and if they don’t, well, they get to visit the void.
Midnight Races: Speed and Betrayal
The Syndicate controls the deadliest racing circuits. Pilots risk their lives for fame, fortune, and the thrill of speed. But behind the scenes, bets are placed, engines sabotaged, and rival racers eliminated.
Winning isn’t just about crossing the finish line—it’s about surviving the Syndicate’s treacherous twists.
Illicit Pleasure: The Poisoned Trade
The Syndicate traffics in drugs— Their distribution channels span the galaxy, from luxury yachts to grimy back alleys.
Addiction fuels their profits, and those who resist find themselves indebted to the serpent-wrapped dagger.
Blackmarket Bazaars: The Silent Auctions
Rare artifacts, stolen prototypes, dark information, and forbidden tech change hands in the Syndicate’s blackmarket bazaars. The highest bidder gains access to power beyond imagination.
But betrayal lurks in every shadow, and deals struck here echo across the stars.
The Serpent-Wrapped Dagger
The Syndicate’s emblem—a curved dagger made from a large fang, wrapped in a red snake-like dragon forming an “S”—symbolizes cunning, adaptability, and lethal precision. Just as the serpent adapts to its environment, so does the Syndicate. Their weapon of choice—the dagger—represents both elegance and brutality. It’s a reminder: they can cut through any obstacle, leaving nothing but scorched trails.
So, citizen of the starts, remember this: When you see that serpent-wrapped dagger, when you hear the whisper of betrayal in the darkness, know that The Fang Syndicate is watching. Their fingers are in everything, and their ambitions stretch beyond the stars themselves.
Who’s asking?
