The video details the rise of the Ninetails gang in the Stanton system, known for their violent origins and criminal activities, including the brutal killing of 28 Terror police officers in 2938. Based in Grim Hex, their influence has grown significantly, leading to concerns about their operations, which range from abductions to blockades, and their ability to evade law enforcement despite a brief lull in activity.
The video discusses the rise of a notorious gang known as the Ninetails, which emerged in the Stanton system after a brutal attack in 2938 that left 28 Terror police officers dead. The only casualty found at the scene was an assailant wearing gear marked with a snake intertwined with the number nine, a symbol that later identified the gang. Despite their violent beginnings, little is publicly known about the Ninetails, making their rapid ascent in the criminal underworld particularly concerning to organized crime experts.
The Ninetails have established their headquarters in Grim Hex, a derelict space station once used for Imperial housing. This station serves as a hub for their operations, and while Crusader Industries, the station’s owner, acknowledges the gang’s presence, they refuse to take action against them without support from other governing bodies. The gang’s influence has grown significantly, prompting calls for a coordinated response to piracy in the Stanton system.
Despite their criminal activities being primarily driven by financial gain, the motivations behind some of the Ninetails’ operations remain enigmatic. Experts have described them as “credit-craving professional anarchists,” specializing in violent attacks that often defy conventional criminal logic. Their first major act of violence involved the rescue of notorious crime lord Albert “Sinkhole” Holden, who was later found dead under mysterious circumstances, raising questions about the gang’s true intentions.
The Ninetails’ notoriety grew as they became linked to numerous incidents across multiple systems, including abductions, murders, and robberies. However, in early 2942, their activities suddenly ceased, leading law enforcement to speculate about internal strife within the gang. This lull was short-lived, as reports of renewed activity surfaced in 2943, indicating that the Ninetails had solidified their control over Grim Hex, where they ruthlessly eliminated opposition and established a thriving black market.
The gang’s recent actions, including a blockade of a rest stop that disrupted commerce in the area, demonstrate their growing power and influence. With growing concerns over their operations, even the CEO of Crusader Industries was called to testify about the company’s security failures. The Ninetails’ transition from a covert strike team to a formidable force in the Stanton system highlights their dangerous capabilities and the ongoing challenge they pose to law enforcement and organized crime experts alike.
