Robbers are a profession with a long history and tradition, and almost every civilization has its own origins, and then with the passage of time, under the change of technology, and in the change of the environment, it has gone through the process of rise, decline, revival and so on for various reasons.

When a civilization enters the age of the Great River System, it is often affected by the spacing of habitable areas, speed restrictions, prosperous trade, and the proliferation of certain technologies, etc., which promote the rampant use of the robbers' as the most advanced class in the current world, the 'Galaxy Pirate'.

These pirates are entrenched in hidden and remote areas, and plunder all caravans without distinction of civilization or race;

Or they only plunder caravans from other civilizations when they are armed bandits, so they can avoid the supervision of the technical means given to them by some councils, and still maintain their status as good citizens and good merchants in the civilized world.

Because each civilization entered the galaxy age at a different time, and the pirates derived from them naturally have their own long or short history, and performed a gorgeous and cruel drama in the galaxy, and then lived a life of wine and drunkenness after plundering in rampant or low-key;

There are many examples of the losers and the whitewashers who have come ashore in all civilizations, and there is no shortage of such examples in any civilization;

Needless to mention, the losers are nothing more than being swallowed up by their peers, or falling apart due to business failure, or being pursued and exterminated by various law enforcement agencies, in short, they all disappeared in the long river of history, leaving only a period of historical memory with different interpretations under the eyes of different positions;

Successful whitewashing is just as interesting.

In a strong civilization, they may shed the skin of criminals after completing their primitive accumulation and take on a new look as a legitimate semi-armed and semi-commercial group;

In weak civilizations, in addition to the classic cases of whitewashing in the form of legitimate business groups, there are even examples of directly seizing power and becoming a ruling group, which can be said to be 'white' to the extent that it can induce vomiting.

But in addition to these losers and whitewashers, there are also those gangs that persist or have to carry out their crimes to the end, which are the backbone of today's black and gray world, full-time or part-time shadowy businesses such as robbery, murder, mercenaries, smuggling, drug trafficking, etc.

Among them, the oldest and most resolute can even find records related to them in the pile of old papers when they are traced back hundreds of thousands of years ago, and they have truly achieved the same level of life as civilization;

This part of the gang is often also the maintainer of the dark order today, maintaining the stability of black in various light or dark rules under the breath of light, and extending its tentacles between active and passive to render gray;

Some grays are biased towards light, and some grays are biased towards darkness, but they all have their own generation logic and form of existence, and undertake various tasks that neither pure black nor complete white can do;

For example, the black market where human beings are at this time is a gray area directly carried by the darkness, because of some characteristics, it can only be completely based on the dark world, and at the same time, because of some technical means, it is stably connected to the light;

Its controller, the 'Yin Tyrant Group', also succeeded in maintaining stability in the darkness in the face of a lack of hard power with some characteristics of its own family.

In fact, there are many such black markets in the big river system, each of which has its own hidden bias and way of foothold, and is demanded by all parties in black and white for various reasons of the same or different

The goods eaten by the Galaxy pirates in a large order are often not suitable for selling the stolen goods through their own channels due to time, profit, amount, and energy required;

It's not that it can't be done, but in the case of forcibly ordering unfamiliar goods, whether it is from the perspective of efficiency or the ultimate benefit, it is not a too wise choice;

Even for some sensitive goods, forcing the shipment is not only a waste of the team's time, but also likely to make a few dollars and cause themselves to be ashamed.

Therefore, in the vast majority of the time, while the raiding group is bigger and stronger in its own unique channels, it will also speed up the single-phase shipment speed by giving profits to the rest of the group, and then quickly enter the next round of 'work'.

Because of this, the 'guarantee black market', which has a long history and tradition and is equivalent to the head civilization in the river system, has been maintained intermittently due to this real need, and has continued to grow stronger and bigger after the establishment of the council along with the initial integration process of the river system;

In the beginning, the black markets in various regions were just scattered organizations within civilizations and business circles, and the black markets in the same region would form hostile relations with each other for the purpose of expanding their own customer sources and annexing each other's channels, and attacks and accusations could be said to be endless.

However, with the prosperity of trade, with the union of law enforcers from all sides, they gradually realized the essence of being weak, and realized that the light can chew itself up, so they took the black market as the center, with many independent raiding groups as the multi-headed tentacles linking all parties, supplemented by the 'gray area' formed by black law enforcers, black politicians, black researchers, black businessmen and other active or passive people who participated in the darkness, and jointly pulled a shadow alliance that was enough to cover the entire large river system and even have some dealings with the outer river system;

Then, with the passage of time, this alliance gradually went through the crooked path from birth to development, and sought maturity in continuous self-renewal;

Today, many black, white and gray interest groups linked by the different aspects of life under this big net have directly or indirectly complex relationships with each other in the role of various means of light and dark, knowing or not knowingly.

There are even many purges in the name of justice, which in fact are distorted into means of excluding dissent, and the actions themselves become part of this invisible network;

As a result, gray has gradually become a phenomenon that is deeply embedded in society, and it is no longer a simple black that can be directly eliminated by violent means.

There are murders born of chicken and dog fragments, and there are also confrontations and firefights born of interests, and the resulting insults, looting, and fires are also endless;

But it is also here, in the face of the need to unite, that everyone can unite with each other under the impetus of the same hatred of the enemy, the greed for profit, and the inability of a single family to eat, etc., under the protection of the dark and broad rules of consensus and the restriction of regional black market rules, and under the guarantee exercised by powerful forces through bloody and terrorist means, and then either to fight together against encirclement and suppression for various purposes, or to cobble together into temporary gangs to do a big job.

After such a long period of time, even in this complex bond of confrontation and mutual assistance, a certain identity based on a common idea has been created and maintained, thus further deepening the alliance nature of the dark world, so that they can often form a much more orderly order within their own gang and among many gangs than the civilized forces, and even seem to be a serious organization that conforms to the laws of the light world at first glance.

Order is undoubtedly the key to becoming bigger and stronger, and it is also the kind of master key that can be used in both light and darkness, which makes the black market stronger and bigger, and also benefits the large and small raiding groups on the periphery;

For example, the convenience and extensiveness of the black market in the process of selling stolen goods have greatly lowered the threshold for interstellar pirate employment, making it a relatively fragile but quite lucrative profession;

Therefore, every year, a large number of good citizens who are not satisfied with the status quo and realize that it is almost impossible for the rule-abiding to rise to the status quo devote themselves to the darkness one after another with the intention of doing a vote and leaving.

Among them, there are also many people who die before they are born, and there are also many people who give up the light directly, and there are also a lot of them;

Of course, there are people who do what they say

It is true that after earning a start-up capital, they returned to the light without hesitation, and then either subdued in their own civilization or fled back to the darkness;

There are also those who use some paid services to circumvent the surveillance, and later try to complete the peaceful rise in the rules of light, but in this case, the majority of those who return to the dark after failure also make up the majority, and they often fall into it completely and have no heart to break free

In the future, if they can escape the novice period of quick death and survive and grow, they will usually become the craziest type of criminals in the shadows, often with extremely strong malice towards the mother civilization and the mother family.

But at present, this hostel parasitized by Nesta is just a very ordinary galaxy pirate, it has neither a magnificent experience, nor a deep belief in the heart, nor an expectation of the future, and the biggest fantasy in his heart is only to become a team leader and reasonably take away the income of the team members;

And it never imagined what would happen to it today.

~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a single-race squad, with a total of more than 30 armored intelligent beings with the same six limbs and long brains, but the criminal organization in which the team is located is not a group composed of a single race, but a very diverse and large-scale and prestigious group;

Not long ago, this team combined with the rest of the team to loot a caravan, and harvested a batch of high-value goods with a loss that seemed not small, but in fact was worth it, so this trip was not only a routine solution after the blood, but also shouldered the purpose of selling stolen goods, and wanted to use the channels and relatively safe and stable trading environment here to win the most abundant time, the fullest profits, and the most convenient loss to fill for themselves.

Because throughout the entire process before and after the operation, the necessary goods such as intelligence, transportation and weapons and equipment, material supplies, and corresponding shelter are directly or indirectly derived from the large gang to which they belong, for example, when purchasing the cannon fodder needed in this operation, their background identity allows them to enjoy a certain discount;

Therefore, at least 50% of the proceeds of this loot must be distributed to the big gang behind it, and the remaining half is the part that can be distributed by itself.

Perhaps because the penislator was about to be one less reasonable and legitimate, the faces covered with primitive stacked keratin nails and with a cowhide-like texture of the interlayer of skin were now carrying the expression of hideousness and expectation that seemed to them.

'Pedal Pedal Tread'

Still savoring the previous beautiful long head gradually approached, and then pushed the door open directly without much warning, but when he was about to dig a virtual but real hole in the mimic environment of the yellow sand in the room to rest comfortably, the goal was to point at himself with more than 100 shaped laser guns

"What are you going to do!?"

The hissing sound carrying the information was unusually rapid, and the armor on the upper and lower bodies of the body fit more tightly against each other, and at the same time, the limbs of the upper body quickly drew their guns forward, and the lower feet of the lower body catapulted backwards to escape the room;

Obviously, although his vigilance has been lowered a lot due to the special characteristics of this place, the instinctive reaction developed in the life of licking blood from the knife edge was quickly picked up, so that the long head almost immediately made a response that he didn't know whether it was effective or not.

At the same time, he also felt that the status quo was ridiculous.

Because at this time, the only culpability that can be remembered seems to be the use of amoeba to molest the current leaders of the race, but they are all already traitorous to the clan? He had never shown mercy when he plundered his own civilization, and how could he be punished for such a reason now?

Besides, it is impossible for the lootering group and the black market to endorse such a fratricidal justification

Thinking like this, he had arrived outside the door in a very short time, and in the process, there were high-speed hissing noises coming from his mouthparts, and he even explained the obscenity with the intention of just in case, saying that he had no idea of betraying the team because of his beauty, and even if the leader of civilization came to seduce him, it would be impossible.

But the reason for this is obviously not this, the reason why the team members are pointing guns at it at this moment is that the thinking fluctuations of a certain guy are too arrogant, and the anomaly has been caught by their headquarters monitors who are hundreds of thousands of light years away;

In the subsequent screening, the target was identified as being parasitized by an unknown type of organism.

The host was shot directly by his teammates, and more than 100 high-energy rays fired from the portable laser gun penetrated the stratum corneum and exploded its body, spraying the green flesh and liquid in its body on the wall behind it

Less than a few breaths later, three more multi-legged automatons from the base suddenly rushed into the carapace room, their electronic eyes flashing blue, scanning the stolen goods squad in the room after canceling the scene mimic;

But only as soon as they put away their weapons and raised their upper limbs to show that they were not hostile, the automatons withdrew their gaze and focused on the disgusting shards that covered the walls.

Immediately, waves that seemed to be used for detection were emitted from their respective bodies, and countless blue, red, or even some invisible fluctuations quickly swept through the fragments and debris, and in a very short time, the 'anomalous target' was accurately and efficiently identified from them.

Unlike the green minced flesh, and the rest of the real and false substances present in this room, a cell residue that should not have existed here immediately caught the attention of the mechanical monster's inherent program, and only after stepping forward to retrieve it did he send a generic message to the waiting team in an electronic voice,

"Declare the use of force, mark it as an internal fight, please take the initiative to hand over the fine has been received;"

"If you pollute the indoor environment, please take the initiative to pay the fine. Received; ”

"It was found that the intruder with the team, the place where the invasion took place was the base, the exemption rules were activated, we have paid the corresponding compensation, please check, you will enjoy a 0.1% discount on this transaction, and once again apologize, the follow-up investigation will be our sole responsibility and give a factual report."

"Understood, get out~"

"Yes."
