**TY's Gang** (also known as the **Young Crime Syndicate**) is an antagonistic faction in the 8th chapter of the "Raider: Last Blood" series.

They're a small group of highly skilled mercenaries that were hired to protect the rackets and Young himself.

## History

The Syndicate was formed in May 2056 and with some connections, they managed to take over lost territories and form their criminal empire, much stronger and more efficient, and covered their rackets up very successfully with the use of refrigerated trucks, 18-wheelers, and an arena. To hide their illegal businesses and keep their reputation safe, Young used the money to sponsor various sports teams and finance various businesses, schools, car washes, and apartment complexes to earn public trust and stay under the radar.

Even though they tried to expand in Johnstontown, Georgia with some help of some mercenaries, The Syndicate had complete control in New Devereux, Louisiana, where Terrence lived, and ran his game show, Gladiator of Reality, as a cover-up to rob anyone to keep profits. They dealt in chop shops, illegal gambling, number racketeering, money laundering, and later gunrunning, organ trading, and drug trafficking.

## Background

The Syndicate is shown to be extremely loyal to Young and while some members are shown to be bloodthirsty and eager to fight, a majority of them are willing to commit crimes for the money. It's revealed that most of the gang are former gang members that Terrence has known since his childhood while a significant portion of them are former Tier One operators and SWAT operators, allowing him to use the gang as a two-fold strategy to fool the public by using the lower ranking members as a decoy.

There are 3 ranks of the Syndicate:

* **Standard**: The first rank. They're shown wearing sports clothing and street clothes (jeans, tank tops, and leather jackets) and they lack combat training and experience. They're mainly in poorer districts, protecting the fronts.
* **Bodyguard**: The second rank. They're shown wearing dark gray suits and dark shades and they're characterized by their codenames and experience. They're mainly in wealthy districts, protecting the fronts and serving as Terrence's public security.
* **Elite**: The final rank. They're shown wearing tan combat uniforms with scalable armor, ProTec helmets, and gloves and their military training made them more dangerous. They're mainly in heavily guarded areas, protecting their boss and providing a backup unit.
