Many survivors of the empire of thinkers and philosophers crushed in Feythabolis by the Angel Cartel found themselves operating within the cartel or enslaved to it after the war. The 'Feythabolis Few' and their descendents may be torn between the desire to bring down the cartel and the desire to make lives for themselves, but all are part of a tight network. Some are pilots, some are home-makers, some are in the higher levels of the organization, and some shine shoes with open ears. What they salvaged of their traditions and culture is important to them, as is their history. That and a hatred, passed down at mothers knee, of the Angel Cartel.
Harad's Shield are a military splinter faction from the Imperial Navy all members of which, having fled the field of battle, can never return home. Originally forming around the fleet commanded by Harad Kador, who personally led a valiant rear guard effort to allow his forces to retreat from a devastating heretic ambush, Harad's Shield seek out their fellows and fight the enemies of the Empire. In time their existence has become a poorly kept secret that remains one due only to a tradition that for centuries has had every official report made regarding the group classified with no one quite sure why. Though the reports are gone the rumours remain and those who come home to their families and empire saved from defeat by an unknown armada of Amarrian design often offer up a prayer in the hope that someday Harad and his followers will find redemption.
The colony on the world dubbed Lufuris was colonized by Caldari and Gallentean settlers who went missing in action shortly before the war. When conflict broke out priorities shifted, the search was called off and, thanks to the disruption and change in government, never restarted. The spirit of co-operation between the stranded colonists led to team oriented and eventually corporate structure overseen by a democratically elected government. Having lost little in the way of knowledge and skills in recent times the people of Lufuris became able to travel the stars once more. Sadly the world they left behind is gone and they find their homeland divided and at war with itself.
Only Nefik wanted them. The lost people, those who played and lost and those who just got played. The lowest rung of Caldari society, the unemployed, the disgraced, and the deficient thought they had nothing left until Nefik. Nefik went by many names and offered many things but for most, in time, it was something they thought they'd lost forever: the pride of doing valued work. Somewhere between the back-alleys of Toril and the slums of New Sorat Nefiks following had become an army. This wouldn't be quite so troubling to those who have begun piecing things together if it weren't for the fact that Toril and New Sorat aren't in the same region of space.
