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

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?"
