In the vast expanse of the Spinward Periphery, a clandestine force emerged a few decades ago under the guidance of Cybersun Industries - the Spinward Syndicate, a diverse coalition of groups with a shared determination to challenge Nanotrasen's dominance.

The Grudge

Established a few decades ago by Cybersun Industries, the Spinward Syndicate (often referred to as the Syndicate) is a diverse alliance of various groups united by their shared goal of challenging Nanotrasen's influence in the Spinward Periphery. The Syndicate comprises a patchwork of members, including notorious criminals, skilled mercenaries, respected entrepreneurs, and renowned scientists. Each major faction within the coalition contributes its expertise to the group's operations, with some specializing in firepower and tactical strategies, others excelling in covert operations and intelligence gathering, and some focusing on logistical support such as organizing supplies and weapons.

Life as a senior member of the Syndicate, this loose association of organizations harbouring grudges against Nanotrasen, is undoubtedly filled with constant challenges. Despite their elaborate schemes, sacrifices, and intricate webs of deceit that dominate their daily lives, Nanotrasen appears to thrive in the Spinward Periphery, seemingly impervious to their efforts.

Even when the Syndicate manages to execute their plans successfully, luck often favours Nanotrasen, minimizing the actual damage inflicted. For instance, after meticulously orchestrating an intricate nine-month espionage mission, they triumphantly activated the nuclear self-destruct mechanism on Space Station 6 in 2555. However, their jubilation was short-lived when it was discovered that the station had been infected by a dangerous, rapidly spreading biomass. The self-destruct mechanism successfully obliterated both the station and the threat of biomass. While the loss of Space Station 6 dealt a significant blow to Nanotrasen, the outcome proved less catastrophic than the alternative of the biomass overtaking the entire station and reproducing. Furthermore, most of the Syndicate's attempts to expose Nanotrasen's misconduct in the Spinward Periphery through the publication of incriminating documents have backfired, resulting in as much, if not more, positive publicity for Nanotrasen than negative.
