Sicarius is a shadow organization that has existed since the 2200s. It is an organization that is dedicated to the principles of strength. Formed by a human named Mida Shayzier, it has been in the middle of many organizations and incidents in known history.

General History

Formed in 2221, Mida Shayzier believed that a great evil would soon descend on the galaxy and that all species must be ready for it. Regarded as a religious teacher with dangerous beliefs, he spent most of his time outside of the Federation. Shayzier beliefs that the weak had to be purged finally came to a conclusion with the slaughter of a small colony of Orgilum IV on the outskirts of known territory.

Shayzier was arrested and executed by Klingon officials (who had thought that it would be a great gift to the Federation) which forced the society to move underground.

Modern Sicarius

Though all but the highest officials in many governments and intelligence agencies, believe the Sicarius died with Shayzier, they continued to thrive, utilizing the resources of many criminal organizations' illegal ventures to finance their mission. It is believed that even the rogue section 31, before its downfall, had something to do with the shadow organization. Very few know of their existence as they prefer to use intermediaries for purchases and operations.

It is believed that not all members of the organization are religious and hold on to the beliefs of the original founder. It is estimated that most who make it into their ranks are there for the prestige or the monetary gain that could come from it. Most members have been handpicked from the ranks of other criminal and governmental organizations.

Though no longer considering its ideals religious, Sicarius believes that Shayzier knew of some coming threat and that the galaxy needs it for its survival.

Beliefs and Tenets

Since the founding was based upon the idea of strength to face an unknown enemy, Sicarius has begun to carry out many different operations to try to "strengthen" the galaxy for the mythical doomsday. From Shayzier's work, there are three tenets that they follow.

• The whole must be strong, no matter the costs.
• Unity of the the body is more important than the self.
• Weakness, in all forms, must be purged.

Organizational Setup

it is believed that Sicarius is setup in a compartmental system where only the leader of a segment knows the identity of other segments. They are broken up in to three branches: the sciences, policies, and defenses. They are ruled over by a small council known as "The Will of Sicarius" or "The Will" for short. The identities and members of these are unknown.

• Policies refers to all members who work in a political, social, or economic role. They usually are responsible for shaping world view and policy down the line that The Will expects them to.

• Defenses refers to those responsible for defense of the body. It is believed that they have a few dedicated vessels that act as defense, but the majority of this area's membership are agents and mercenaries.

• Sciences refers to those responsible for all scientific programs that can either improve or remove strength and weakness respectively. It is believed that they are responsible for a few plagues and genetic programs on the black market.
