HONCHO is a crew of thieves, salvagers, and shadow operators. We don’t take jobs—we take ships. If it’s not locked down, it’s ours. If it is, we’ll crack it open. Profit first, stealth always. Lock your bay— the rats are here. Be eating you soon…
We weren’t born in boardrooms or academies—we were born in back alleys, salvage yards, prison blocks, and burned-out hangars. HONCHO didn’t start as an organization. It started as a problem. A series of mysterious ship thefts. Cargo gone missing from hardened manifests. Comms blackouts followed by missing patrols. The rats were moving, and nobody knew where or how.
But one day, someone did what no one had: they tracked us, joined us, and helped us lift an Aegis Redeemer out of a fortified hangar on Daymar without a shot fired. Since then, we’ve grown. Not by broadcasting, but by spreading like shadow and rust. HONCHO became more than a name—it became a signal. If you hear the skitter in the dark, it’s already too late. Lock your bay. Lock your bunk. The rats are home.
We’re not here to play saviors. We’re not chasing glory. We chase profit, opportunity, and leverage. Every station’s got blind spots, every convoy gets tired, and every ship’s got a door that wants to be opened.
HONCHO operates under the rule of risk: the risk must be worth the haul. That means we don’t die for scraps. We don’t hit soft targets just for noise. We plan, we probe, and when the time is right—we strike with precision. You won’t even know we were there… unless we want you to.
We don’t grief. We take. We don’t random murder. We extract. This is a business. A violent one, but a business all the same.
1. Profit First.
We operate to gain—no senseless slaughter, no pointless losses. If the job doesn’t feed the house, we don’t take it.
2. Internal Code.
We don’t steal from family. No betrayals, no infighting. Disputes are settled in-house or in the dark.
3. Target Smart.
No attacking the same soft target twice unless they recover fully or retaliate. We’re predators, not parasites.
4. No Mess Without Gain.
Murder and destruction only when it serves the operation. We’re here to take what’s valuable, not waste effort on bloodlust.
5. Stay Sharp, Stay Quiet.
Operational secrecy is law. No broadcasting our movements, allies, or scores.
