From the Ashes of Despair, An Alliance of Hope:
The Faceless Hunter Alliance is born
Carlac's Sun - a source of life, death and the catalyst of personal transformation and military restructuring
Following the brutal Battle of Carlac, a mutiny within the ranks of Pitch Black Hunting Consortium splintered that powerful military establishment into Pitch Black Loyalists and the terrorist, opportunist group calling itself the Black Hand. This was sparked by the perceived power vacuum created by the false rumors of the death of Pitch Black's Leader, General Logan Shivers when his command ship was disabled in the battle against Darkness and it drifted into the corona of Carlac's Sun. Although badly injured and in fact transformed, Logan did not succumb in that inferno and instead rose to become an even more powerful form as his own sensitivity to The Force, the effects of his contact with Darkness in the Battle of Carlac and the radiation of Carlac's Sun all converged in his inner core. Through the expert work of his top scientific engineer, this new amalgamation of power and flesh was then surrounded by a cybernetically enhanced armored frame and his transformation was complete. Vowing revenge against the mutinous Black Hand, the General set out with his most loyal companions, the Bone Collectors and hunted down each and every would-be leader of the Black Hand and brought them to a slow and painful justice. The damage had been done, however, and Pitch Black would never be the same. Huge swaths of territory, ships, vehicles and space stations once held by that Consortium were lost to other entities who took advantage of Pitch Black's weakened position or were destroyed in the ensuing Civil War within its own ranks.
Even victorious, the Pitch Black Hunting Consortium could not continue as it once had. A change was needed. The introduction of the Bone Collectors had helped to restore peace and structure as well as an element of security, however prosperity was still proving to be elusive as too many of Pitch Black's once expansive holdings were lost.
After lengthy meetings amongst the leadership of the two Factions, it was decided that the only way forward was to forge them together into one, new, solid Alliance. Following the example from the Alliance of Mercenary Consortiums itself and its own violent history and creation from the ashes of Civil War, this new Alliance will come together to operate within one command structure and will be open to and encompassing of all races and species, not merely focusing on a reptilian only power base as Pitch Black had previously done.
The current leadership structure has been decided upon and a new name agreed upon without hesitation.
The Faceless Hunter Alliance is born...
FHA's command structure will be as follows:
Guardian of the Faceless Hunter Alliance – Logan Shivers
Grandmaster – Tersen Serat
Master Hunter – Argon Hagui
Master Ranger – Cora Woodle
Master Protector – Voba Weyfel
The FHA will provide a strong military component to AMC as it will fill the void left following the collapse of Pitch Black Hunting Consortium. Some consideration was given previously to having the Bone Collectors themselves fill that void, but with their previous work in the underworld of the slaver trade, it was decided that keeping such a name and its history may be detrimental to AMC in its broad scale diplomacy for those who do not know the true work that the Bone Collectors engaged in as they covertly worked at eradicating slavery wherever possible in the Galaxy. As Pitch Black was a founding member of AMC, that Alliance Charter will be rolled over into its restructuring and will now be maintained in AMC under the new banner of FHA.
In his first public statement since the announcement of this new Alliance, General Logan Shivers, now also hailed as the Guardian of the FHA, had this to say:
“The Faceless Hunter Alliance will bring back the strength and vitality of Pitch Black and meld it with the ferocity, intelligence and loyalty of the Bone Collectors. It may require time to fully form, but a solid foundation is already in place to allow for that growth. Further expansion may also require collaboration with other experienced AMC members, something which will be welcomed if an approach is made.”
With that surprising last remark, the General has potentially opened up the once secretive doors of his higher command structure to interested and qualified parties, should any emerge.
The Triumvirate Council has welcomed this move by their notorious General and has released this statement:
"While we mourn the events which have brought us to this point, as the Civil War within Pitch Black caused much loss of life and hardship, we welcome the merger and restructuring of Pitch Black's Loyalists and the Bone Collectors into the newly formed Faceless Hunter Alliance. AMC as a whole is stronger with this Alliance and we look forward to working with the new members of the former Bone Collectors within our command structure. Through struggle and sacrifice, strength and perseverance are gained and lasting bonds are forged. May we reap the benefits of those bonds now and forever! Fealty with Love, Bravery with Honor, Treachery with Vengeance!"
