The Underworld

The Underworld

The Underworld is an unoffical name for one of the criminal gangs on Refuge under the leadership of the human crimelord Drastig. Though not the largest or oldest gang on there, the Underworld is gaining membership and territory rapidly due to Drastig's organisational skills and the fact that the gang have access to state of the art body enhancement and performance and strength enhancing steroids, used by almost all of the members. They inhavit Sector Five of Refuge where they have a large drug laboratory and cybernetic facility to enhance their members and create substances to sell to outside customers.

They have recently come to the attention of Clan Naga Sadow and the Dlarit Corporation due to attempts to sell drugs to their military both on Tarthos and other military installations. Though simply giving many a good feeling the substances have had serious and sometimes fatal sideeffects to others.

Members

Drastig

Drastig is the leader of the Underworld, coming to Refuge five years ago with a few loyal followers he has established himself as a powerful force. He is tall, powerfully built, and like his followers he has heavy hidden enhancements making him strong, quick and resilient. He has big ambitions and forsees a day when he will rule all of the facility, by either buying up or forcing out rivals. He has lightly scarred features, a bald head he shaves and a short dark beard.

Morax

Morax is a trandoshan and Drastig's second in command. Like his boss he is tall, powerful and heavyily augmented. He is fiercely loyal to Drastig, devious but has no current ambitions of betrayal, happy with his piece of an ever growing pie. After Drastig he is the most feared person in Sector Five and is responsible for combat training. He is a former combatant and champion of Refuge's Arena but has recently retired undefeated. He speaks good galactic basic with an occasional reptilian lisp.

Sidrac

Sidrac is a quarren scientist working for Drastig, who runs the cybernetic and narcotics laboratories in Sector Five. He originally studied genetics, cybernetics and chemistry at a universary on Corruscant before doing research work for several large corporations. He eventually fell out with his employers and met Drastig. He now works for him and tests his techniques on willing volunteers from the gang, unfortunate prisoners, and most frequently himself. His own enhancements are first rate and despite his appearance he is a fearsome fighter.

Javain

Javain is a human bounty hunter, famous throughout Refuge and many criminal systems, for his skill, ruthlessness and ability. He came to work for Drastig after a failed assassination attempt paid for by another of Refuge's crimelords. After taking a beating from Drastig personally he was persuaded to join and has never regretted it, going out into the disputed territory of the other sectors leaving discreetly hidden bodies or object lessons in his wake. The enhancements Sidrac has done to him has greatly improved his prowess and he is feared whereever he walks. He has long blonde hair in ponytail under a wide brimmed hat and wears a long black cloak, concealing his many weapons.

Shareth

Shareth is the youngest of Drastig's followers, a twilek woman in her early twenties. She was an orphan who came to Refuge with her merchant father, and after his unfortunate death she became a pickpocket in the neutral Sector one. She was found by Morax after trying to pick his pocket and recruited. Now older and enhanced, she is resourceful but also cruel and callow and enjoys enforcing Drastig's will on the inhabitants of Sector Five. She is often accompanied by the older Tremas to keep her stable. She is addicted to Sidrac's designed steroids and uses them reguarly, making her a strong and competent fighter but also unstable.

Kahudrak

Kahudrak the Zabrak is the newest recruit to Drastig's gang. A few years older than Shareth, he is currently the champion of the Sector One arena following Morax's retirement. He is arrogant, enjoys expensive drink and food and the company of adoring females of many species. He is a favourite of the crowd and a respected figure in the arena, though recently he had taken to fighting droids and beasts due to the lack of willing opponents. He came to work for Drastig following a heavy loss betting on swoop racing, and though the crimelord leaves him free to fight for a share of the winnings, he is still called to his boss's side when needed.

Tremas

Tremas is the oldest of Drastig's followers, being his original lieutenant before Morax's recruitment, something he resents but quietly accepts. He is tall and strong, but also quiet and reserved, taking care of some of much of the day to day work for Drastig making sure everyone is fed, maintainance gets done and the narcotics go out on time. He is good in a fight and calm, and when pushed he can strike back with fierce efficiency.

Assets

The Underworld has come to rule Sector Five of Refuge, including their own enclave in the centre of it, several bars and a casino, and the combined cybernetic and narcotics laboratories. They also own shares in other business's and a percentage of all money entering and leaving the sector go into their coffers.
