History:

What is currently known as Les Salopards can be dated to the year 500AGS with the creation of Narbonne Base. One of the first inhabitants of the base, Auguste Laurent, soon made a name for himself as a pirate. After a daring robbery of a large EFL convoy, Laurent’s ship was christened Le Salopard. A cult following soon modeled themselves after Laurent, but the man himself continuing to fly solo. In 512AGS, Laurent tried robbing a shipment of high value cargo on its way to Dauphine. Unknown to him, the Royal Police had set a trap. Even Laurent’s reputation wasn’t enough to save him from the strike wing, and Le Salopard was destroyed. To honor Laurent and his achievements, Laurent’s followers named themselves Les Salopards.

After 150 years, the memory of Laurent disappeared, but the group did not. Les Salopards remained relatively small, not a large enough force to gain the eye of anybody. However, in 686, Les Salopards absorbed another small band of pirates based out of Narbonne. This continued until 736AGS until Les Salopards had grown enough to name themselves in charge of the station. However, the group had expanded their view to more than just Languedoc and Dauphine, and needed a more centralized base of operation. Les Salopards moved their headquarters to Besacon Freeport in the Dauphine system. However, after the abandonment of the station they returned to their original home.

The current leader of Les Salopards is Chantal Proulx. Chantal came into power with Les Salopards from one of the former Patrons, Antoine Proulx; Chantal’s father. Chantal was named as Antoine’s heir, so when he was killed by a Police patrol, Chantal was named as the new Patron.

Following the end of the war in Bretonia, Les Salopards adopted a "wait and see" policy. Those in charge of Les Salopards wanted to see the Council's policies when trying to take over the government. With what to the Brigands felt like a return to the status quo, Chantal changed her own policies for Les Salopards, looking to expand into Sirius after being betrayed by their Gallic ally.

Les Salopards have grown and waned over the years. The nature of their business always brings instability. Currently, Les Salopards focus on both smuggling Nox for the Corse and pirating anything in sight. They stay loyal to their Gallic allies, though the recent change of course sets outside interests in their sights.
