History
In 800 A.S, the Order openly destroyed the RNC-Donau without mercy. This was the mere beginning of the well known Nomad War. Weeks after the attack, high class members of Interspace Commerce began to put away money for the possibility of an anti terrorist foundation that would protect their assets. The bank in which the money was put away in was known as Ouroboros and those who contributed to the bank were known as Serpentis Investors, these people’s identities were covered by clever aliases that usually shifted suspicion to other investors or unwanted members of Interspace. After a few months of investing, 12 people had actively contributed to Ouroboros and they had invested enough to fund an anti terrorist group. However, this group never made an appearance as at the end of the Nomad War, the original investor had skillfully charged all other 11 investors with suspicion of assisting the Order financially.
In 803 AS a new underground organization secretly revealed itself as Ouroboros. This organization specialized in Omicron recon and transportation. However, all those who enquired about Ouroboros were taken away without warning. With the only other 11 people who could guess what would happen to them in jail or dead, Ouroboros was free to do as they pleased for a long time.
People enquiring about Ouroboros were usually harvested and their organs trafficked to Corsair and Outcast assets in the Omicrons. 30% of organs were used for black market medical research such as reanimation experiments, physical enhancements and mental expansion experiments.
In 807, these experiments attracted the attention of Order Agents in Liberty. Missing people were usually covered by bribes to the LPI, but the Order couldn’t be shaken by a few million credits. After a large scale investigation The Order revealed that there were another 11 members to take the place of the jailed 11. These people were rich investors from all around Sirius. One investor was reported to even be a Zoner.
This caused the kicking of 7 members of Ouroboros, leaving the organization with 5 highly classified members. These members fled to the borderworlds of the Sigmas, Taus, Omegas and Omicrons. They regrouped in Omicron Delta after the Leader of the Ouroboros decided to expand their goals into the Omicrons, specifically so their unlawful research could continue.
It was at this time that the BHG Core began their expansion into the Omicrons, which got the interest of the Ouroboros. The 5 decided to reopen investments to refill their numbers. They barely managed 8 people, the Omicrons certainly didn’t like to lend out their cash. The once fast income of money from investor and organ trafficking had decreased significantly. Not to mention that the Order had begun to suspect them again. Ouroboros had to hit the Order where it hurt, Nomad Technology.
Ouroboros began to expand their research into xeno-archaeology, by hiring broke mercenaries, Corsairs, Outcasts and even Zoners to do their dirty work on minimal wage. The idea was simple, get the lowlife to gather the nomad remains and have Ouroboros resell them to the Core and private contractors. Ouroboros also hired people to continue their human harvesting regime.
The BHG Core began to weaken at this stage, with financial support disappearing fast. Ouroboros received the same issue with cheap slave labourers escaping or dying out. They had to expand onto the Guild and soon.
Finally, in 820 A.S after years of backstreet deals, black market scandals and avoiding the Order, Ouroboros was able to buy out the BHG Core and rebrand it as a Private Military Corporation that would obey to their every demand. This could only be done by severing the financial link between the Core and the Guild, however.
In recent times, Ouroboros has allowed for the Core to continue their usual activities, so long as it is done for Ouroboros. The Core has received a great amount of funds and ships from Ouroboros, which has been profitable for both parties as captured hostiles are used for Ouroboros Black Marketing and Nomad Technology is liberated and researched by the Core and Ouroboros, which brings them closer to taking down the Order, making the Core a recognizable force in the Omicrons and the liberation of Edge Worlds, so that they can penultimately fulfil Ouroboros's goals.
