DESCRIPTION
Nadir represents everything its namesake and homebase stands for. Namely sex, drugs, and rock’n’r— just joking. That’d be murder, drugs, and slavery. At a glance, Nadir is reminiscent of any old criminal organization, but a thorough look quickly reveals the differences.

First, it’s impossible to define any kingpin leading the syndicate. A couple names float around, of course, associated with Nadir in reputation, but never with any hard evidence. To all but a chosen few, the station appears the same as it always was, except it’s stronger, faster, and better.

Second, the syndicate seems to employ few people of their own. By and large, they field the muscle, smugglers, and thieves of the Great Clans under their influence. (That is to say, all the Clans.) This makes it extremely difficult for potential attackers or spies to infiltrate their ranks, because, well, there are no ranks to infiltrate and no people to target.

Third, and perhaps the strangest, is their unusual business model. Where most cartels and gangs vie for turf in vicious wars, Nadir allows most anyone to live and work in their sphere. There is the profit tax, of course. And the protection fees. And the warehouse and real estate rent. And the casinos, and bookies, and hookers, and blow. Nothing good in life comes for free.

This kind of approach has cut the amount of internal strife and border disputes by a whopping three quarters, stabilizing much of the black market economy in the Unknown regions. With open trade routes and a welcoming policy, Nadir has earned more investors and associates in a few years than most operations ever do in their whole existence.

RATIONALE
When the Equalizers arrived on Point Nadir, the shadowport was a frantic melting pot of criminal scum and… other criminal scum. Hailing from a background of organization and discipline, they dove in the deep end right away. Over the course of a few months, the pair killed, cajoled, or bought out the major players of the fragile ecosystem, leaping to the top of the food-chain with practiced efficiency.

In the following months, this new leadership – unknown by the public – wrangled the economy, tamed dissent, and began a rapid expansion into the underbelly of the galaxy.
