The Dreadfleet refers to the combined forces of multiple loosely aligned pirate groups banding together under the ruthless Dreadlord Vex Totem. The dreadfleets each sail the ink of the Vandal Subsector under the various pirate lords of the Dreadfleet.

Their capital is the lawless pirate-controlled system of Journeys End where the only safety guaranteed is for those with the quickest draw or with a silver tongue and a generous wallet.

The dreadfleet, while only recently being called such, has been around for centuries but has never been so aligned as it has now. The lawless corner of the Vandal Subsector has always held tens if not hundreds of raider, pirate, and bandit groups all seeking to control the space in the subsector leading into both Hadals Chasm and also through the Summer Gate into the Tahlulah Subsector.

These groups more recently however have been brought to heel by the most powerful and notorious captain among them; The dreadlord Vex Totem, A ruthless and cunning captain with the greatest leadership skills and deepest charisma ever found among the backstabbing masses of the dreadfleets.

Vex, with his mighty Dreadfleet forced all the other notorious and powerful captains to parlay at the renegade moon of Lv-212 to sue for terms and peace after crippling many of them. And then seized control of what would become the Dreadfleet Territories when many of the first and second mates of these captains slaughtered their leaders under Vex's orders and were elevated into the new dreadlords under him.

The Dreadfleet was broken up among these captains with Vex holding the largest and most powerful ships to keep them under h

The Dreadfleet consists of tens of millions of men, women, and everything inbetween. While the Dreadfleets themselves are only the defacto military force, the territories themselves contain the majority of themselves spread across stations, and the moons of Journies End where most work as labor to support the Dreadfleets.

These people are by no means slaves, however. As by either circumstance, a desire for power by joining the fleets, being born there, or the most common denominator of captured ships having their crews unloaded in the dreadfleet territories by the new pirate owners of their ships.

The majority population of the Dreadfleet are humans, but a large minority consists of many races living, working, or stranded in their territories.

The Dreadfleet is a mertirocracy; Meaning that its leaders and government are neither voted nor selected but are an ever-changing roulette of those who have seized power through often underhanded means such as betrayal, blackmail, coercion, or mutiny.

The highest position of power are the Dreadlords who, while all holding the same rank all differ to Dreadlord Vex Totem as the First among equals.
