The Pagans

By Zane Miller as part of The BKH48 Universe

All sinners need their saints. It didn’t take long for missionaries to show up to minister to the growing crowd of profiteers. But, as the story goes, rather than bringing faith to the faithless, the ministers were themselves converted.

Now what’s left of that organization calls themselves Pagans in a twisted homage to the faith they sold out.

Pagans are arguably the most powerful faction on the station. Their transition to a life of crime was aided by the bones they stripped to create it. A strong proclivity towards hierarchy. An easy inclination towards loyalty and blind faith. They are based out of the remains of the missionary ship but have since extended so far and so deep into both the physical and mental infrastructure of the station that the only way to describe the direction you go to get to their turf is to say “head Parish-side until you get to Parish.”

Taking “opiate of the masses” to a more literal level – Pagans control most of the drug trade on The Wreck. With a few other notable exceptions (to be detailed in forthcoming reports), Pagans are one of the rare factions that have a pretty sizeable influence outside the pirate “paradise.” Their near unassailable position on the station has allowed them to use it as a major shipping hub for illicit consumables they push throughout the galaxy. As the colonies have ascended, so have Pagans, riding the wake the idle rich always create in the drug trade.
