You will find no other wretched hive of scum and villainy anywhere else in the galaxy. But the food is pretty nice.

- Zarbanian Quartermaster Ottan Van Hurstmen

The Free State of Tortosa is a large collection of worlds under the ownership of former Zarbanian Fleet Commander Gotfried von Talon, who, after his years of service, grew bored with his lot in life, and used lead his fleet to revolt against the Empire, and conquered much of the Red Veil region, creating what he christened the "Free State of Tortosa", where all would be free to gather their ships, crew and heavy liquor supplies, and seek out riches and treasure for themselves. Gotfried runs the decadent state as something of a head of state, but the various Pirate houses, factions and fleets all are free to do as they wish, as long as they follow the loose code of effects he has transcribed, and which every member signs their name upon entering the Free State.

Since that time, numerous Rogue Zarbanian State Troopers, Mendel Warriors, Exiled Volver and Cordac Knights, Loron and Skordi Mercenaries, and countless others have flocked to the banner of the Free State, using their fleets to do as they wish, so long as the treasures and loot are theirs in the end.

Notes[]

  • Originally, this faction was known as the Empire of Claws, and was meant to be a radical, far-right terrorist group of Zarbanians. Overtime, ZF wanted slightly less serious, heavy topics in his fiction, and decided to turn them into a more light-hearted, Space Pirate-themed faction.
