Shiss raiders

Shiss Raiders

are a type of pirate. Private combatant found mainly in along the fringe space between Union and Shiss, but can also be found in Free space and of course along the Shiss Nul border.

The Shiss Government officially condemns the actions of private members of their society and claims not to be responsible for the actions of “criminals” and individuals they can not control. However such individualism is very unlikely in such a rigid caste society. Almost everyone is convinced that Shiss raiders act under the full consent (and support) of the Shiss Government.

Shiss Raiders are well equipped and unlike real pirates primarily not concerned with loot but with interrupting trade lanes, inflicting damage and carrying out Intel missions for the Shiss government.



However since the Shiss Government disavows their existence and deny any involvement Shiss raiders ., when caught by Union Fleet assets are not treated as POW s but as pirates and face fast and swift punishment.

Due to the fact that the border colonies are well protected by now, Shiss raiders turn more desperate and try to strike deeper into Union territory and are more active in Free Space as of late.
