Grey Hoods can be found many large metropoles, space ports within Union Space and outside Union Space.

A large community of Grey Hoods(Antemortems) were discovered in the Underground sewers of Sin 4. There is a known community of Grey Hoods on Pluribus. Officially they only congregate and worship death with chants and candles. Pretty much doing things other religions do too. They are closely watched by Union Police for the illegal practices this cult is known.

Antemortems worship death. Their practice to revive the dead with illegal cell animation, illegal cloning, or implanting, transplanting brains and corps animators is highly illegal.

They use genetic altered beings as their enforcers (Night Rippers)

Former Members of the Neo Vamp societies can often be found withion their ranks.

Bellebee research believes that less than 5000 Citizens are members.

The estimated 600,000 Grey Hoods that live within the Union are mostly Residents and Non Cits.

Outside Union space, they are an influential society, they are the Arch enemies of the Church of Darkness.

Their leader is the Necro King.

The Narth and the Saresii consider them dangerous as they practice something called Necromage-Psionics.

Rumors exist that the Necro King, a being of great power had both the great opportunity to actually meet the personification of Death and the great misfortune that this god like entity was less than pleased.

As of 5050 no Grey Hoods have been seen and the Bellebee researcher reported no cult activites within the Union form that year forward.

there are indications that there are still active cells outside Union space.
