Sandbox:Outer Eyes

The Outer Eyes are a criminal syndicate with influence across much of the Spur. With a history spanning several decades, it worked undiscovered by many of the major powers of the Spur for much of its existence, controlling the lucrative Purple Market – the illicit trade of Phoron – which gave it incredible wealth.

By the Lemurian Sea where their centre of operations, the Boneyard, they acted unobserved by many of the powers of the Spur, accumulating wealth and directing the expansion of many of the frontier colonies in the ICSR, where subtle political influences saw their power expand. Beyond the Lemurian Sea and the ICSR, they acted much more covertly, where blackmail, bribery and even assassination of people in power saw their network established all the way from the Sea to the fringes of the ASSN.

The manner in which they recruited agents across the Spur has been likened to the cult – where potential agents were targeted for exploitation based on fringe belief and societal rejection. The Eyes would use their obscure philosophy, the Tenets, to draw these agents in which often led to zealous recruits willing to die for the Eyes.

Although the existence was uncovered in 2467 and it suffered internal strife and outside threats during 2468, leading to the destruction of their base, the Boneyard, in the Lemurian Sea, it continues to operate in a reduced capacity. It is theorized that many smuggling rings and criminal enterprises operated by the Eyes still remain uncovered.
