The Story
A long time ago, soon after the first revolt was defeated by the corporation.
A group that managed to escape the massacre began raiding Omni outposts.
They became known only as the Shadows because No one knew anything
about them.They only attacked at night, and never left any witnesses. They
attacked without warning.They were brutal and without mercy. And then they
would disappear just as mysteriously As they arrived. For years the attacks
went on, disrupting all of the corporations activities.The Shadows became
Omni's worst nightmare. They also became the most hunted outlaws On Ruba Ka.
The largest Bounty ever posted was placed on their heads.
One day, a man showed up at Omni 1. Driven by greed, or anger, no one knows.
He was immediately transported off planet. But what he left behind was the end
of the Shadows. What he left was a list, a list of the names of all the members
of the Shadows. Omni security went to work. Hunting down and killing every one
on that list, as well as their families, and anyone associated with them.
The corporation wanted to make an example of them. A few did manage to escape
into the northern desert. To no mans land as it was called because no one could
survive there. It was thought that they had all died, and none of them were ever
heard from again.
The legends of the Shadows became ghost stories, fairy tales told at night.
These stories also came to be used to keep children under control.
"You better do what you're told or the Shadows will come for you"
the parents would tell their children.
In time, even the legends were forgotten.
