All Things Vargr

[Condottiere]

I think they are speed freaks and adrenaline junkies.

Pragmatism would force that over a certain speed, probably two hundred klix per hour.

Vargr: Military Organization

Q. Leader of a band of starship or spacecraft equipped Vargr, is called a Komondor, rather than a (war) chief.

R. Usually, the super pack is termed The Brethren, with the Komondor more first amongst equals, especially with corsair bands.

S. Komondors can also be appointed by a recognized higher authority.

T. The requirement to brief The Brethren, tends to lead to lapses of operational security, but ensures that they are all on the same page.

U. Rational is to limit backstabbing, since it's easier to deal with frontstabbing.

Vargr: Military Organization

1. Speaking of cursairs, the most famous was Attila the Hund.

2. Or, is, since it's never been verified that has died.

3. Attila the Hund was responsible for the last great Vargr invasion of the Imperium.

4. He had gathered untold hordes of cursairs, and personally led them over the borders of the Imperium.

5. At first, he only demanded tribute from the local Imperium officials.

6. When that wasn't forthcoming, his cursair hordes ran over border planets, and were headed towards the centre of the Imperium.

7. During a victory feast, or an orgy, something ruptured.

8. Leaderless, the cursair hordes retreated back to Vargr space.

9. His name still remains feared in the coreward regions of the Imperium.
