The latest Glimpse Inside at the official Earth & Beyond site talks about The Red Dragons, pirates in the universe of Earth & Beyond. Snippet serverd here:
The Red Dragons have existed as a criminal organization since the time of Earth's Boxer Rebellion, but have recently become increasingly dangerous. They are still based in the Hong Kong district of Pacific Rim City, but their influence is felt throughout the galaxy. It is believed that the mysterious figure known as "Shou Tzu," who seized control of the Red Dragons after a recent insurrection, is responsible for the organization's recent expansion.
Red Dragons congregate in smaller clans, or "tongs," and are fiercely loyal to each other and their membership. Individual tongs occupy their own areas, and while they won't attack other tongs, you will rarely see a Red Dragon infringing on another tong's area. The organization is believed to be made up of three great tongs. These are the Heung Leung, based in Sol System; the Liu Leung, based in Beta Hydri, and the Bai Leung, in Tau Ceti. |
