History
The shadows of war hide more than enemies — they bury the truth.
We never release our bite, even if the blood chocks us.
SC Rivals was founded in 2948 by a former UEE black ops squad leader known only by his callsign: Ryval. A veteran of classified military operations during one of the most volatile stretches of the Messer regime’s long shadow, Ryval was tasked with deep infiltration, sabotage, and assassination behind enemy lines — operations so sensitive, even their existence was denied.
But when the war began winding down, those who knew too much became liabilities.
Ryval’s unit was marked for elimination under Directive C-47, an internal order designed to quietly “retire” operatives who had outlived their usefulness. What was briefed as a routine extraction was in fact a staged execution. UEE gunships opened fire without warning, heavy ordnance reducing the safehouse to rubble while infantry advanced to finish the survivors at close range. Most of the squad was slaughtered in minutes, their blood running through the shattered floor and pooling beneath the flames. Ryval barely escaped death, wounded and hunted, carrying nothing but the memory of his fallen comrades and the certainty that loyalty to the UEE was a death sentence.
Betrayed, and enraged, Ryval vanished into the underbelly of the Stanton system. From the lawless halls of Grim HEX, he began recruiting survivors, mercenaries, and disillusioned former agents — all with a score to settle.
Thus, SC Rivals was born:
A brotherhood bound not by patriotism, but by betrayal.
Loyal only to each other.
Deadly to anyone else.
⸻
Culture & Values
SC Rivals operates under a single code: “Loyalty earned. Loyalty kept.”
They trust no one — not corporations, not governments, not even the UEE.
But within the org, loyalty is absolute.
Members are recruited for skill, not status. Many are ghosts: disavowed operatives, spies, defectors, and war criminals. All are given a chance to strike back — at those who used them, erased them, or tried to kill them.
⸻
Operations
• Infiltration & Espionage – Inserting operatives into enemy factions, governments, or corps to extract intelligence or sabotage from within.
• Black Market Arms – Smuggling and supplying high-end military-grade weaponry to outlaws, insurgents, and even governments willing to pay.
• Assassinations – High-value targets: political, corporate, or military.
• Covert Raids – Tactical strikes on military convoys, secure facilities, and data vaults.
• UEE Secrets – The organization’s long-term mission is to uncover (and weaponize) buried UEE black files — especially those linked to Directive C-47 and similar purges.
⸻
Enemies
The United Empire of Earth (UEE) is SC Rivals’ most hated enemy.
Ryval and his inner circle believe the UEE is a corrupt empire built on the blood of those it disposes of when convenient. They have dedicated their lives to exposing its secrets — and tearing down its lies.
Other enemies include:
• Corporate Security Forces (Hurston, MicroTech, Crusader)
• UEE Advocacy
• Competing criminal syndicates who view SC Rivals as a threat to the balance of power.
⸻
Vision
SC Rivals doesn’t just want revenge.
They want to rewrite the narrative — to make sure no one forgets what the UEE did in the shadows.
They’re building a network. Gathering intelligence. Arming rebels.
One secret at a time.
They don’t fear the dark.
They are the dark.
SC Rivals’ Manifesto
We were soldiers once. Tools of an empire that erased us when we outlived our usefulness. They buried our names, slaughtered our squads, and called it order.
But we survived. And survival is enough.
We are not patriots. We are not loyalists. We are Rivals. Bound not by flags or oaths, but by betrayal — and by the blood of those who fell beside us.
Our code is simple: loyalty earned, loyalty kept.
Trust inside the brotherhood is absolute. Trust outside it does not exist.
We take what they hide. We weaponize what they fear. We strike where they are weakest and disappear before they understand the cost. Their convoys, their secrets, their leaders — all are targets.
We do not seek recognition. We do not seek empire.
We seek to make them remember what they tried to forget.
The Empire made us ghosts.
Now we haunt them.
SC Rivals Charter
Article I: Foundation
SC Rivals was forged from betrayal. Born in the aftermath of Directive C-47, the brotherhood exists to unite those discarded, disavowed, or erased by the Empire and its corporations. We are not patriots. We are not loyalists. We are Rivals.
Article II: Code of Loyalty
1. Loyalty earned, loyalty kept.
Trust within the Rivals is absolute. To betray the brotherhood is to forfeit life.
2. No loyalty beyond the Pack.
Governments, corporations, and syndicates hold no claim over us. Only the Pack endures.
Article III: Membership
• Entry into SC Rivals is earned through trial. Survival proves worth. Failure ends in death.
• Rank is not given but taken through action, discipline, and resilience.
• Members exist as equals under the blood oath; only Ryval and his chosen lieutenants guide the Pack.
Article IV: Conduct
• Secrecy is survival. Identities, missions, and information stay within the Pack.
• Strength is unity. No Rival is abandoned in the field without cause.
• Betrayal is final. Punishment is public, and serves as reminder.
Article V: Operations
• Strike with precision, vanish without trace.
• Take their weapons, take their secrets, take their lives when necessary.
• Every operation must weaken the Empire and strengthen the Pack.
Article VI: Vision
SC Rivals exists to bleed the Empire dry, not to build thrones or claim crowns. The brotherhood will dismantle the lies of the UEE, weaponize its buried truths, and ensure the forgotten are remembered.
We are not shadows in service of the Empire.
We are the dark that hunts it.
