Starwolf

“Victory is within our jaws today. The Great Wolf walks with us this day, and those who fall shall walk with him for all eternity.”

~ Viktor Abanath, Great Sergeant, Third Claw, Hepta Ourubis Pack

Background

The Starwolf tribe evolved from humble origins. But adversity bred strength, and the Starwolf eventually exploded into the tribal wars and carved out a large holding with predatory swiftness.

The Starwolf follow a shamanistic religion, with "The Great Wolf" as their tribal totem. Warriors who fall in battle are said to "walk with the Great Wolf." Starwolf holdings spread across vast regions of space, and Starwolf warriors are the first to explore new worlds and follow jumpgates into the unknown. This great dispersal makes massing large armies difficult, and so the Starwolf favor fluid, guerrilla-style tactics and mobility.

Starwolf organize themselves into Packs named for their world of residence. Packs are broken down into Claws, and then into Squads.

On the Children of the Phoenix

"The Phoenix want everyone to suck up to them, but they'll never make us bow our heads. Never. We choose our own way."

On the Blood Eagle

"They favor slow and heavy fighting, which makes them our meat. Don't let them capture you, though."

On the Diamond Sword

"Too much thinking, not enough fighting. The quickest way through a knot is a sharp knife."

On the Empire

"Feh! Crabs. Crack their war machines, and it's all soft flesh inside."

On lesser tribes

"If they cross us, we cut them out of the herd."

On Immortals

"Make the sign of the Wolf when you mention Harabec. Not that I believe that scrof about Immortals, but you never really know, ayia?"
