Corvi Vindicta was born out of the tragedy of the fall of Virgil. They are dedicated to enacting vengeance on the Vanduul for the victims of their murderous rampage. They have taken their name in honor of the legendary 214th “Black Crows” squadron.
History
Virgil was an accident. In 2412 Alaine Viktus discovered the jump point to the system that would be known as Virgil completely by chance. Scientists identified Virgil I as the most outstanding candidate for terraforming ever discovered due to geographic characteristics and the strongest concentrations of desirable soil nutrients known to exist anywhere. Within ten years, the most rapid development project yet, Virgil I was terraformed, and a thriving human colony was quickly established and became the poster planet for terraforming and colonization.
In 2736 The Vanduul had devastated the Tiber system and Virgil had become the front line in a growing conflict that saw loss after loss for humanity. In 2737 the Vanduul arrived in force and steamrolled the UEE Naval presence in short order. The only redeeming aspect of this loss was the heroic action of the 214th squadron, known as The Black Crows. The Crows would launch multiple sorties into hostile space to escort civilian transport ships through the Vanduul fleet to safety, sacrificing many men and women to do so.
Many transports made their way to the Vega system to find refuge and safety among the growing military presence there while many more refugees would settle down and find new homes in new systems to build new lives. Some would only think of vengeance. In 2740 a group of Virgil’s survivors banded together to form the core of what would become known as the Corvi Vindicta or Vengeance of the Crows. Taking their name in honor of the legendary Black Crows who sacrificed so many of their own to save the people of Virgil. They swore to honor the 214th’s sacrifice and ensure it was not made in vain. Since their pact, they have been bringing survivors of Vanduul raids into their fold, providing safety in numbers and establishing themselves as a self-sufficient para-military group who are fiercely loyal to each other and won’t shy from a fight in defense of their comrades.
When not on rescue and recovery operations in the aftermath of Vanduul raids they are often gathering materials and salvage to support their own operations and outposts while stockpiling arms, munitions, and supplies for their inevitable confrontations with the Vanduul. They openly share intelligence with the UEE Navy and have performed reconnaissance for them in areas of space the UEE Navy did not want to show an official presence. Recently, they have moved into the Stanton system, taking advantage of the loose mining and salvage regulations, and undertaking a recruitment drive, looking for those who wish to strike back against the Vanduul.
