Red Radiants

The most notorious pirate group of sector NH-54. Named after the red color the Zin star gets during a "Burn" cycle, they have increased their illegal activities during the last year. Their emblem is a dark skull in front of a red radiant circle that symbolizes the Zin star. They are accused for many freighter hijacks and attacks on defenseless mining operations and stations.

The Red Radiants's organization structure is unknown but witnesses state that they have seen ships with different signs and emblems cooperating with the Red Radiants on the attacks. SU officials suppose that the Red Radiants pirate group has managed to unite or assimilate smaller criminal organizations of the system.

The NH Emporium local board has complained numerous times to SUN officials in order to increase patrols on the asteroid fields and participate in escort missions for valuable cargo. SUN responded that their resources are limited at the moment and that they are waiting reinforcements. The NHE turned to Orion Star Service for help with the piracy problem, an act that was not welcomed by the Sol Union Space Trade Council. The NHE has also published bounties for any brave (or fool) spacehand that can capture, kill or destroy a pirate attack ship.
