History

The Gang's history .... is being written as we speak.

The Ship

The gang's ship is the Silviut Corp Vibre-Class Cruiser Voodoo Heart. It's painted a vibrant shade of magenta and has an orange bird-shaped form on the topside. While the Voodoo Heart is very much the central base of operations for the gang, most gang members also have their own private vessels which are either berthed on board the Heart or on the gang's hideout.

The Hideout

The group's hideout is located in orbit around Nar Shaddaa, and based on one of the old city structures that broke free of the planet.

For a short time this structure was turned into a kind of small recreational orbital spacestation by some enterprising merchants, but soon after the merchants fell into disfavor with the Hutt Kajidics and ended up bankrupted. After they left the place fell into such a state of disrepair that various parts fell off and it had to be evacuated. For centuries no one regarded it as anything but space junk until a member of an adventurous group of pirates - the Black Bloods - was temporarily using it as camouflage to hide in while being chased by a rival gang, and realised its potential. Soon after, the Gang took over the piece of rock and steel girders and "enhanced" the remaining core by stringing up chains of old spacecrafts to it.

The gang's various technicians and slicers worked hard to make it operational - the end result is a complex system of slave engines on the old spacecrafts being controled by one centralised master computer somewhere in the core complex, where droids are constantly monitoring and adjusting the orbit of the entire structure.

To ensure randomness and make it difficult to recognise as anything other than the ball of scrap it has been known as for centuries, the engines were left spaced unevenly apart (although some would say they were just imprecisely configured) which results in a very kooky tilt and rotation pattern. This also acts as a natural defense system for only a skilled pilot could manage to moor his ship at one of the outlying "scrapyard" docks.

But inspite of its odd structure, crazy approach system and "unknown" location, it's become a sort of space campsite to various fringe types, who nowadays get to stay at the structure for a small fee and enjoy the meager comforts of its cantina/store run by the gang's Hutt majordomo, Blarga. The gang's members use the station in much of the same way - without needing to pay any fee, of course; the gang also keep a few of the old spacecraft off-limits to the public, and it's there that they do their planning and socialising.

The Voodoo Heart never docks there, however - for security reasons alone. A bright magenta ship of its size would be a bit too much of a give-away. Instead, the ship is usually hidden somewhere on an inhabitable small moon within the system which the group is also using as the location for hiding their loot.
