The Graveyard Syndicate (Factbook/Orbat)

== History: ==
Estimated to have been formed around 1980 (Imperial Standard Calendar), The Graveyard Syndicate is a group of organizations that come together for their common interest: Profit. Their leader: "Doxa", a Chestian acts as the figurehead, negotiator, and speaker for the organization. The deal to be apart of the Graveyard Syndicate is simple; A company, party, or organization pledges loyalty to Doxa, under the return of them being given a steady stream of contracts, jobs, and clients. The Syndicate allows for a safety net incase there is ever a falling out, along with streamlined negotiating. The give is all groups will act in the immediate defense of one another, will never act against or attack one another, and will never act out against any nation/party to avoid a war like the Stahlpakt-Ir'klaan conflict. 
Although some smaller instances have occurred, the Graveyard Syndicate has relative success under Doxa. In the aftermath of the capture of the Ir'klaan, and the fall of the Virkul home fleet, the Syndicate quickly filled the vacuum left by them and has established a more amicable relationship with peer nations and the Stahlpakt.

Currently he is trying to arrange permenant settlement spots with Doxa and The Architect within The Graveyard Belt, knowing the Virkuul Homefleet's way of life is unsustainable. His force makes up psionics and nonpsionic warriors, utilizing old metals scavenged to create super strong armor. However there is a catch, few races are strong enough to wear the armor, meaning others must wear more conventional pieces. A signature piece of the war band is the void blades, which Saren Kath outfits his most experience melee experts with.

In return, Chillwater allows the establishment of the NORTHCOM Graveyard Syndicate, and allow contracts to be struck between them.
