Algernon Vandals

The Algernon Vandals were a group of pirates that resided in the Porphyrious Nebula. They were formed by Gipso Algernon an exile of from the Vela system. Their main hunting territory was around the Central systems where they picked off supply frigates, medical corvettes and the occasional scouting patrol.

History
The founding member, Gipso Algernon, was a government official who was exiled with the twenty others in his Segment after attempting to massacre a small village when the government refused to heed his warnings of their treacherous plans.

Gipso and his men managed to take control of the cruiser exiling them to the outermost planet and fled to the Porphyrious Nebula. Here they used the cruiser as a station and survived by turning to pirating. Over time their numbers grew as wandering souls from various systems crossed their paths seeking refuge from bounty hunters and suchlike. As a result Gipso became the governor of a small criminal outpost.
