[FONT=”Palatino Linotype”]The Black Sun, once the most powerful criminal organization in existence, now a scary story to tell children who won’t eat their vegetables. They made a rise once nearly a decade ago, a rise that went almost totally unnoticed when it made no headway for them as a whole. Ever since the fall of the Galactic Alliance and the subsequent destruction of their main base during the Siege of Coruscant, the Black Sun has been virtually non-existent. The recent increase in criminal activity on Corellia is not to be attributed to the Black Sun, rather, it is from a recent outbreak of violence among a few gangs of thugs.
Because of the voilence, the CDF is requesting temporary Stormtrooper assistance to eliminate these gangs of thugs.

A Broken Organization
[FONT=”Palatino Linotype”]Records from the last known meeting of the Black Sun Vigos, 1015ABY
An angry human male slammed his fist into the table with intense rage. His face was contorted in passionate rage as he screamed at the three other Vigos in the meeting hall.
“Can't you see what is right in front of your kriffing faces?! Vigos are dropping like flies and you shutta sit here and discuss the best way to merge our Empire with the Hutt Cartel? You must be pulling my leg!"
Across the table, a massive, hulking Trandoshan stood and stared, unblinking, down the table at the man who dared defied him. Tapping the table, he remarked.
"Vigo Fer'ate, you misssunderstand. I am not disscusssing thisss with you, I am ordering you asss your Lorda. Recall your vesssels, arm them, and prepare to merge your asssetsss with the Hutt Cartel. The Black Sssun goesss where the money isss, and right now the money isss with the Huttsss. Meeting isss dissmisssed."
As the two other Vigos, two human males by name of Edmund Veidt and Johnathan Ne'fra, exiting the room, Fer'ate strode over to their Trandoshan leader as the alien was still rising. Grasping his arm, Fer'ate threatened.
"This isn't over."
Grasping Fer'ate wrist and forcing him to release his grip, the Trandoshan hissed back.
"Actually, it isss. Join the Cartel with usss, or sssit here and dissappear. The Black Sssun are no more."[/FONT]

Eyewitness report from a clash in the skies over Hollastin, 1015ABY
Eyewitness report from a clash in the skies over Hollastin, 1015ABY
"I was a mess I tell ya, ships everywhere and enough lasers to make it hard to tell what were beam weapons and what were turbolaser cannon bolts. Everyone seemed to be having the same insignia of the Black Sun, lawless scoundrels, but that didn't matter the least. Black Sun firing on Black Sun, and they were losing. I could almost make out who seemed to be firing at who, but it was really difficult regardless.
After about ten minutes of just things blowing up and lots of screams in Huttese over the comms, the smaller group, or what was left of them, turned and jumped out. I'd like to think that the losses were something like in the ups of a capital vessel, some frigates, some corvettes and hundreds of fighters. I saw the smaller group get away with something like four, mebbe five, frigates, a couple corvettes, and a handful of fighters. Though both numbers are probably much higher than that. Heh, maybe this means I can start trading without worrying about the Black Sun anymore. Small as they were, they were still around in the areas I liked to send my people."

Broadcast released on the holonet. 1022ABY
A woman, eyes encircled with dark scars and wearing a mask to cover the lower half of her face, stared into the camera and at the audience watching. A man's head was held in her hand by the hair, recognized by those who knew him and those who knew of him as former Vigo Fer'ate, the last leader of the Black Sun for the last seven years. Fer'ate was a weak, stupid man whom had lost nearly every asset the Black Sun owned over the past seven years of his reign. His face was not a welcome sight, though his head would be.
"My boys, it's time to revive the Black Sun. Time to make this galaxy fear us once again. Time to make them cower on their knees and pray for a swift death at the very sight of our mark. We've cowered away from the galaxy for too long, now it's time we struck back at anyone and everyone whom we please. The Black Sun will be a name feared not just on Nar Shaddaa, but on every world in this galaxy.
This is the motto of the Black Sun. We do what we want, when we want, and there won't be anybody to say otherwise. Get ready my friends, the Black Sun are coming back."
The New Black Sun
"Last investigative Report on the recent Black Sun activity, ISB field agent /REDACTED/. 1022ABY"
"Last investigative Report on the recent Black Sun activity, ISB field agent /REDACTED/. 1022ABY"
"The Black Sun have been weakened considerably over the past few years, a combination of bad leadership, our efforts to reduce criminal activity in the Imperium, and the Hutt Cartel dominating the Black Market. Recently, a leadership change occurred within the Black Sun. An unknown woman broke into the compound where former Vigo Fer'ate had holed up in, killed the mercenaries who interfered, and murdered Fer'ate.
Declaring herself the new leader of the Black Sun, the 'Kurios' as she calls herself, this woman has begun a systematic reclaiming of former, lost Black Sun assets. Based on Nar Shaddaa, the woman primarily deals in terrorism, kidnappings, assassination and racketeering. Her methods of terrorism are entirely random, she seems to strike without rhyme nor reason to her destruction.
On Nar Shaddaa, there are two Black Sun bases of operation. The smaller of the two, the woman attacked alone to eliminate Fer'ate and set herself up as leader. The smaller of the two contains Spacefaring vessels which the woman and those who follow her, a number of forty-six men, have acquired. The larger of the two, located deep within the refugee district, is held by a man by the name of John 'the Mando' Smi. John, a former Mandalorian, as no intention of giving up his hold.
The larger of the two bases contains the bulk of the Black Sun's weapons, armor, and credit stash. I have paid a visit to this base and documented their assets. Their complete armor suits, not counting those owned and worn by their men already, who number sixty-three in total, is twenty-five Vornskr Field Armor suits. They are also in control of 25,000 credits and a large amount of unused Credit Counterfeiting machines. It would seem the following ordinance orders nearly bankrupted them, the ordinance was ordered by the late Far'ate. Far'ate likely commissioned the counterfeiters as well, but without deals with the local banks and casinos to mix his counterfeit money with real currency he's unable to utilize the machines.
Their weapons count is thirteen MDAI REC-74 Spears, six Anakkona Ballistic Assault Rifles, eleven LSG 11 Vulcan Scatter Guns, and a packed crate of what is, supposedly, 15 M88A1 14.7x24 Autos.
I have infiltrated the Black Sun organization and believe they are preparing to move their base of operations, will report again when I have the new location. This is a considerably large amount of ordinance, enough to arm a small, private army. My official stance is that they should be eliminated as soon as possible and as quietly as can be done."

Rank Structure:
-Kurios is the sole head of the Black Sun.
-Vigos are the Leaders in charge of sections of the Black Sun, can create contracts for Polmistis and Stratios. They have free access to the Assassination Contract board for the accepting and handing out of assassination contracts. Some Vigos are put directly in control of important areas of the faction.
-Stratios are mercenaries contracted by the Black Sun, can accept contracts and bounty hunter assignments at their leisure and take assassination contracts if they are given to them by a Vigo.
-Polmistis are 'on call' mercenaries available for contracts from the Black Sun, can take contracts at their leisure.
Specializations are divided into three categories.
They are, 'Assassin,' 'Terrorist,' and 'Thief.' Assassins are those who are specialized in Diplomacy, both those political and those performed with the other man staring down the barrel of a blaster rifle. Terrorists are those who excess at the Black Sun's more core values, being mass destruction and extreme loss of life. Thieves are those well versed in racketeering and outright robbery.
Specializations do not limit characters, thieves and terrorists can take assassination contracts just as assassins can. Specializations are there so that the casual passerby can see what each character excels at more than all other aspects.
Assets:
One refitted for Gozanti Cruiser, 41.8 meters long. Three refitted Ixiyen-class attack craft
Three refitted Kihraxz light fighters
Five refitted Rihkxyrk Assault Fighters
On the Gozanti Cruiser, there has been outfitted a bar for relaxation and intoxication as well as a catch where half of their weapons are armor are stored.
On Teth is the Black Sun's main base of operations, currently. The bunker there is modest and guarded at all times. The Bunker is housed underneath a warehouse where Can-cell are slaughtered for what little meat they have on them and sold cheaply just outside. The bunker is located roughly 25 meters below and is made up of many durasteel catacombs. While newcomers are easily lost, it is by no means some impenetrable maze. The bunker contains a bar, a storage area, a meeting room, a dining room, living quarters for two hundred men, though not even half are occupied, and many, many hallways. The other half of their weapons and armor is stored there.
Their fighters are housed independently by individuals in spaceports on Nar Shaddaa, Teth, Nal Hutta, and Hollastin. Each Black Sun member is given a comm unit, not immune to jamming or signal interception. However, the comm system is used as a casual channel of chat between the Black Sun, where it is taboo to mention the Black Sun and their activity. Giving the impression that the comm sharing is simply a group of smugglers sharing stories.
Specific stories, are used as 'calls to arms' and 'meetings summons.' For calls to arms, the story used is the story of how one man, a trashman, went from rags to riches by following three uncannily intelligent steps to greatness. For meetings summons, the story used is about a supposed Vigo in the former Black Sun who didn't support the Hutts and lost his head for it.
Expansion occurs solely through contracts. If a Vigo or the Kurios(myself) wishes to expand the faction in any way, big or small, they must write up a contract or a series of multiple contracts in order to accomplish their goal. Taking over a district on Nar Shaddaa doesn't happen in a day, you'd need a contract to get the weapons, a contract to get the men, a contract to get some heavy equipment(I.E. heavy fighters/bombers) and, finally, the contract for the takeover. Each one would require a Hutt NPCer as well as Nar Shaddaa is Hutt territory.
All weapons, armor, and ships are either tech profiles written up in this site and freely available to mercenaries, civilians, and everyone else, or is a piece of technology from Wookiepedia.
