About the Poku Saeruo Degonjo (Hidden Sun Clan)

Hidden Sun Clan Flag

Origin

Around 750 years ago during the myriad struggles for dominance, a race of felinoids chose to find a place where they could live their lives by their own warrior code. So they packed up all that they owned, and left in their fleet of ships. They gathered resources along their journey with lasted about 50 years. Eventually they chose to settle in the large nebula about 80 light years south of Yamatai. They were lead to it by the super nova that coalesced into the nebula. The inner core of the star remains a dim remnant from which they called their new home the Hidden Sun nebula, and themselves the Hidden Sun Clan.

In their language Hidden Sun Clan is Poku Degonjo Saeruo or Clan of the Hidden Sun.

The name for the dominant species in their language is Qaktoro khΔƒk-tō-rō (sing.) and Qaktoroi khΔƒk-tō-rōē (plur.)

Origin Story

β€œIn the great dark time, there was much turmoil in the void. Worlds burned like the bright suns, and people fell dead where they stood. From this crucible, Kotoz Mui, greatest of the war lords said, If we are to survive as a people we must leave before the great fires consume us. So the word went out among the people. They gathered all of the people who were fit for the great journey. They loaded all that they could carry onto the great void arks. Then when no more could be loaded, they left the orb of their birth. For many years the people traveled through the void. From time to time when supplies grew low they would hunt, and then clan would continue on. It is said that one night while on the ark Prowler; Kotoz Mui beheld the light of a star that appeared from nowhere. He took this as a great portent, and turned his ark and the others towards the light. They came upon a great mist in the void, and many feared to enter. Kotoz chided them and called their warrior status cheap. He did shame them when the Prowler entered the mist and so they followed. Deep within the great mist they did find a dark star, the one that had led them here. Here with the mist of the star to hide them from the others, the clan would build a new home, a place from which they could hunt and prosper.” Clan Story Keeper Vespe

The Code

  • Clan before self.
  • Be fierce in the face of your prey.
  • Prey shall know no mercy.
  • Death before dishonor.

What they are

Hidden Sun Clan are not pirates in the typical sense. They do not attack ships for profit. They hunt ships for their resources and materials, and of course for the thrill of the hunt. Their ships are normally constructed from material and resources gathered on prior hunts. They are consummate salvagers.

Typical Hunt

Normally a pack of Hidden Sun Clan Hunters consists of from 4 to 6 hatakur_a. Normally ships in a given hunt are assigned to a particular family. Several of these carry fighters used to wound the prey. In addition to these ships there is a salvage ship called the hs_l1_harvester. This vessel stays away from the hunters until the prey is subdued. While they wait they are electronically shielded. Once the ship is captured, the hs_l1_harvester comes in. Crew from the ship board the prey and assess the condition of the ship. Then the salvage ship uses an assortment of cutting implements to chop the prey into easy to store sections. When they leave a kill site, they leave nothing behind. Even the crew are gathered for use as either slaves or byproducts.

Free Kill Sites

The Hidden Sun Clan are patient to a fault. They listen into the noises of the void for signs of battle by other groups. When they locate one, they will signal other hunters. They will converge on the battle site and then wait for the combatants to disperse or pick off damaged vessels. Then they selectively gather resources as the clan needs direct.

Security

The Hidden Sun Clan protects the location of the hs_h1_world_station to the death. The safe way through the nebula is known only to the Commander and his second. Capture is not an option either. If their ship loses weapons, they will use the ship itself as a weapon. All of their vessels are equipped with self-destructs, and they will use it rather than be captured.
