The Ring

### Reach

Great amount of system wide reach, with potential goals of expansion in an effort to further its grasp on the rest of the galaxy.

## Biography

The Ring is an illegal underground fighting ring located in the Hades Nexus cluster in the more discrete regions of the Milky Way, while it is held planet side (though underground) on Gei Hinnom in the Sheol System.

Their goal in choosing such a remote and rural area was to remain as inconspicuous as possible whilst simultaneously flying under the Law’s ever present radar. They are extremely secretive, and absolutely forbid the sharing or distributing of its information outside of those who are already directly involved with the organization, or on highly trafficked and monitored networks. Failure to do so would result in heavy penalties from The Ring, mainly death. *(First rule of fight club: don’t talk about fight club!).*

Founded in the year 2153 by a Krogan by the name of Wrok Prayaxe, he started it as an attempt to imitate the ancient human practicing of “The Colosseum” that he had become inspired by. Though Wrok was soon killed after the organizations start up (2156) and was overtaken by a Turian successor by the name of Salan Laecus.

The Ring started out small, but gradually grew in grandiose size, power, and influence as more and more clients of all backgrounds and varieties willingly participated in an attempt for riches and glory. Thousands of individuals from all across the galaxy now partake in the services that The Ring provides, while the plentiful seats of the Arena are usually filled to the brim with those looking for a good show. Millions of credits are gained, dealt, and lost here.

The Ring caters to all types of people, whether they be criminals, vagrants, wealthy businessmen who seek an additional source of income, or common folk who want to earn a name for themselves.

Slavery is a common practice held in the grimy pits of The Ring, as well as the inhumane keeping of wild beasts used in some of the games that the pits host. The slaves are mainly used as fodder for the games, thrown into the pits if only just to add to the blood and gore that's spilt for the sole purpose of entertainment. And if they are not chosen for that particular gruesome chore, they are used as maintenance to The Ring, or personal caretakers to those wealthy enough to purchase them.

Because of such horrid mistreatment, there have been rumors of an upcoming revolt led by the slaves against the entirety of the operation, but such an accusation has been mostly ignored and dismissed.

Death, torture, and heinous acts run amuck in The Ring, and anybody participating would be lucky to survive. It is a high risk, high reward operation, and should one become prestigious enough to gain the title of champion or above, a myriad of wealth and respectability from the underworld flows their way.

Though The Rings main attraction is the fighting pits it hosts, it is not the only service it provides. On the outskirts of the arena lies other interconnected webs of various buildings and services. Such as: an extensive casino, a lavish nightclub, a secretive brothel, and a hotel for those who wish to make a vacation out of the destination. Many do.

With the recent assassination of its Turian leader, The Ring is now currently held under no solid leadership, causing the organization to be tossed into heavy turmoil and confusion. Many crooked and powerful individuals are now vying and fighting for the title of Potentate and seek the strength that comes with its darkened throne.

The Ring is a lawless place of anarchy, deceit, and corruption, even more so without a leader and sense of direction, and anybody with any sense of moral upstanding and decorum would do well to steer clear from here.
