Black Daggers

Origin of the Name

On the planet Turthis III a synthetic composite material was created that is incredibly strong and when fashioned into a knife they are razor sharp. This material is darkest black in color with a dull, flat look and able to maintain their sharpness with very little maintenance. Most importantly the material does not register as any form of metallic substance making them very hard to detect on planets with lower technology.

History

The Black Daggers was originally a branch of the Orion Syndicate that was created in 2289 approximately. According to Federation intelligence records a Turah Bah was employed by the syndicate as an assassin and enforcer. He was very successful and this added to his ruthlessness and cunning allowed him to advance through the ranks rather quickly. Somehow he ended up in a position to be part of a major expansion by the syndicate. One that was moving into a section of space occupied by the Federation but sandwiched between elements of the Romulan and Klingon empires.

They operate primarily in the Trinity Sector and sometimes in the Acamar Sector. They are lead by an Orion called Lord Han'drin. He has built his secret headquarters somewhere within the vast asteroid fields of the Gamma Taboa system.

In 2387 when the Hobus star went supernova and destroyed both Romulus and Remus, the heart and capitol of the Romulan Star Empire they were in an excellent position to take full advantage of the resulting confusion and turmoil. The multi-factional civil war that spread across most of the empire made this a risky period but by the time that peace of a sorts was eventually achieved they had infiltrated many worlds.

Federation Intelligence believes that they now have the strongest criminal presence within both the resulting Romulan Republic, the remains of the Romulan Star Empire and many of the smaller factions that survived.

Some of his more important people are Ruchard, his right hand man and his son Crossbones Han'drin who operates out of the city of Mith on the planet Cart'hen III.
