| HISTORY |
A group of far traders from Jinx/Five Sisters (Spinward Marches) eastablished a concern
called Traders Beyond on Nangat Parban(Mal'Gnar Radiant)to exploit the trading
opportunities in the Beyond. In 40 years they established routes though the Mal'Gnar
Radiant, Die Weltbund, and NE Middle Beyond sectors. Running afoul of the Alekhine
Syndicate (Alekhine, Shequonor, Hel, Macchu Picchu in Die Weltbund subsector, plus El
Uqsor in the Mal'Gnar Radiant), the traders found themselves shifting to smuggling and
out right piracy to survive.
In 844 Nangt Parban's starport of Naz Reiol was destroyed by Alekhine naval forces,
forcing a relocation to Phyllis' Surrender(NE Middle Beyond).
In 863, however an enterprising captain named Tres Iolilk discovered and established
relations with the non-human Sred'Ni. Iolilk was able to make TB the sole shipping
contractor with the Sred'N1 Heptad and their colonies. With this new alliance TB
changed its named to Webrunners, with a corporate logo of a silver starship on a golden
web on a dark blue circle. Enriched, Webrunners moved their headquarters to Serenity on
Araniopa(Araniopa subsector). Webrunners also provides transportation(plus training &
support) from the Heptad for the human populations of planets conquered by the Sred*Ni.
This is beneficial to both sides as it gets rid of the Heptad's unwanted Z*Sred*Ni &
provides human colonists for underdeveloped planets plus recruits for Webrunners. These
colonist ships have come under increasing attack by criminal elements with connections to
Tuablin, LTD.
In 903-907, Webrunners gained revenge on the Alekhine Syndicate by a massive smash and
grab campaign against AS shipping. Also rebellions were financed and support with arms,
resulting in the successful revolt of El Uqsor. In 908, Webrunner dilpomacy brought the
Mal'Gnar into open war with the Alekhine Syndicate. The Mal'Gnar decimated the AS
fleet at Hel in 909. With the conquest by the Mal'Gnar of Hel(909) and Shequonor(910),
the Alekhine Syndicate faded away.
In 934, Webrunners received letters of marque from the Zydarian Codominium, an
arrangement profitable to both parties..
In 927, after an undeclared war of three decades, Webrunners signed a treay of alliance
with the other great league of corsairs, Dark Goddesses. This alliances includes mutual
defense, use of bases, and exchange of data.
Webrunners includes members of all races except the Sred'Ni. A high percentage of crews,
however come from Die Weltbund(15%), either as refugees, outlaws, or political offenders.
A relatively new source of recruits comes the human worlds conquered by the Sred*Ni
whose human populations have been evacuated from the Heptad beginning in 1048.
Current subsectors of operations for Webrunners are Zydar, Middle Beyond,I-Glathriel,
I'Sred'Ni, NE Middle Beyond, & Araniopa. The Trojan Reaches has opened up as an
important operational area, with Webrunners supporting the Gorian pirates & other
regional forces against encroaching Aslan clan forces.
Webrunners maintain a clandestine x-boat route called the Silk Road. running from the
Five Sisters subsector in the Spinward marches, down the trailing Beyond, the rimward
Foreven connecting with Dark Goddesses in the Mapepire cluster. A former branch run by
DG & Webrunners used to run from Delta to Middle Beyond was disrupted by the activities
of Tuablin. .
There is mutual hostility between Webrunners and Beaufort Lines over Beaufort vessels
lost in the Zydar subsector.
Die Weltbund Navy has standing orders to fire upon Webrunners vessels when indentified
since 923.

| ORGANIZATION |
Webrunners' is very much like a normal trading company. It's organization is a
syndicate made of stockholding captains, officials, crew & non-Webrunner stockholders.
The syndicate is run by a board of 24 directors elected during the annual stockholder
meeting on Araniopa. These directors in turn elect the Chairman, the Comptroller, and
the Chief Director of Operations.
Other than Voringest on Araniopa, Webrunners do not run or own any starports. They
prefer to place as many Operations Centers as possible throughout thr Beyond's
subsectors. What bases they do have are leased from planetary or national governments.
Unlike Dark Goddesses, Webrunners make it a policy to invest in stock in various
shipyards throughout the Beyond. They do share the benefits accrued through these
investments with Dark Goddesses.
Webrunner personnel when not disguising themselves effect a chocolate brown vest &
beret, both adorned with the Webrunner logo. Officers' vest will be trimmed in cobalt
blue, while DO's will have a maroon trim their vest. Other than that, Webrunner
personnel pretty wear what they want. Non-humanoid personnel usually wear the
company badge.

| BASES |
Webrunners bases are purely piractical in nature. Their main defense, deception,
usually with each base pretending to be a naval base of the host government.
Webrunner personnel (shipboard & ground) will dress as units of the local navy and will
be versed in the local dialect or language. In the I'Sred'Ni Heptad Webrunners
personnel pose as foreign mercs or military advisors.

Though the organization, history, and npcs for Webrunners were created for my game,
Webrunners, their alliances with Dark Goddesses, the Zydarians, & the Sred Ni come from
Paranoid Press' the Beyond booklet. It's an excellent supplement, and if you lay your hands on
it it's worth buying. - A Note of caution: the Law Level & Government Types are switched
