- Unit Name:
- Haxion Brood Raiders
- Affiliation:
- Classification:
- Infantry
- Description:
- The Haxion Brood Raiders are a criminal gang of humanoid cyborgs that operate out of the Outer Rim and within Hutt Space. There overall appearance can be described as mish mash as each individual person has their own set of equipment; picked up from those that they killed or stole from military depos. The only defining feature that can be recognized as coming from the gang is their symbol decorated on their helmets which can be seen down below. They have a credit attitude, meaning that they will work for whomever if they throw some credits there way, even willing to take on Sith and Jedi for the right price. They are ruthless in their approach, killing anything that stands in their way even their employer if a job goes sour.

- Combat Function:
- The Haxion Brood Raiders can be considered middle of the rung when it comes to combat, which is why they mostly focus on intimidation tactics against undefended settlements in the Outer Rim. Though if pressed can provide a decent enough challenge to Jedi and Sith using their large unit size and access to top of the line market weaponry. When it comes to combat tactics they are more willing to engage a target if they are within tight corridors, such as alleyways and street combat, mostly avoiding battle in open terrain which can put them at a disadvantage. In terms of habits they are mostly scavengers picking up equipment from their fallen opponents to put them to good use, while also having a love of credits which makes them perfect for those with deep pockets. They can interact well with a larger army, although mostly keep to themselves.
- Force Abilities (Force User Units Only):
- No Force Abilities in Unit
Strengths:
- Numerous in Skill |
- The Haxion Brood Raiders come from a wide range of backgrounds and skill levels, despite being given basic training by Hutt Cartel Taskmasters, ranging from barely holding a gun correctly to sharpshooters from top military academies. This gives them an advantage over opponents because they aren't quite sure whether they are dealing with a professional military unit or merely some underworld thugs sent to harass them on their travels.
- Deadly In Numbers |
- The Haxion Brood Raiders true strength comes from their large unit size, while one or two of their numbers can rarely be considered a challenge to a Sith or Jedi on the field. Grouped up together they can overwhelm even a seasoned opponent with shear numbers instead of relying on individual skills.
- Cybernetics |
- The Haxion Brood Raiders are a gang comprised of cyborgs and cybernetic individuals which does have its advantages in intimidation tactics and bullying defenseless individuals. Despite this they are vulnerable to any form of EMP/Ion Weaponry as the electric currents can shut down their vital combat systems making them more easy to take out.
- Lore of Credits |
- Like any within the Criminal Underworld; Loyalty is only achieved by the size of one's pockets and the expectation that their employer will pay up when the debts come due. The Haxion Brood Raiders are not above switching sides if the opponents pockets are deeper making them questionable protection for Criminal Syndicates. Despite this they are weary of betraying the Hutt Cartel.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Haxion Brood Raiders were established by members of Haxion Brood Syndicate in 9 ABY on the orders of Sorc Tormo during their expansion into the Outer Rim Territories. Originally comprised of debtors and prisoners who were turned into cyborgs against their will by the Syndicate, they would be sent on dangerous missions in order to clear their debt which resulted in high casualties amongst their numbers but those that survived gained valuable experience in the ways of the Criminal Underworld. They would later open up their ranks to a wide variety of cybernetic individuals fleeing from the Galactic Empire which at the time was engaged in the Galactic Civil War with the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
The Raiders would slowly become their own organization within the Haxion Brood Syndicate after gaining more than enough individuals within their ranks, deciding to forge their own pathway in the underworld by becoming a mercenary unit. Although they would not be let go so easily by Sorc Tormo who demanded they remain loyal to him as as the Crime Lord of Haxion Brood. A small skirmish ensued with the raiders taking some losses and inflicting losses to the Syndicate until finally being allowed to exit with the promise that they would assist the Syndicate in their further expansion efforts. They would then work for various criminal organizations based in the Outer Rim and the Core Worlds until finally accepting a long term contract by the Hutt Cartel to provide them with protection detail and as enforcers within their Space.
This agreement with the Cartel would last for quite some time, until the destruction of Hutt Space by the Bryn'adul Empire during the Chaos Timeline as they sought to exterminate everything in their path. The Raiders would defend the Capital of Nal Hutta along with the Silver Jedi Concord but were forced to flee once it became apparent that their employer would no longer be able to cover their dues. Taking up various odd jobs around the criminal underworld until the formation of the Hutt Space Consortium.
Serving in the same role as general enforcers and thugs to control the various worlds, until that syndicate fell as well and was reorganized into the Black Sun. The Raiders were unhappy with the change and left seeking to become bodyguards to planetary governments and raiding convoys heading into Galactic Alliance Space.
Entering 900 ABY, The Haxion Brood Raiders would reestablish themselves with the remaining Hutt Cartel.
