The Scrapper's Fleet

The Scrapper's Fleet was a nomadic community of space vessels, most of them freighters. Having developed its own language and customs, the Scrapper's Fleet was often regarded with immense distrust by planetary governments due to their transient nature. Veírhun was born and raised on the Fleet.

Life on the Scrapper's Fleet
The Fleet was often regarded with distrust, with many a rumor about theft and other unsavory behavior following them wherever they went. These rumors contributed to many closed doors and armed escorts out of certain solar systems, which contributed to a life that was full of struggles and lacking in luxuries. Nevertheless, the Scrapper's Fleet had a community tight enough to weather any storm, and in fact grew at a steady rate. Ship captains, both legitimate and illicit, found themselves without a home or livelihood due to ever-changing galactic powers. They found themselves attracted to the apolitical community of the Scrapper's fleet and quickly adopted their customs, much like the cultural absorption that Mandalorians were known for.

The Fleet's culture was similarly utilitarian to the Mandalorians (having absorbed many in its time), and combat had its place. When members of the Fleet found themselves in prolonged disagreement, they would engage in a duel. Most often these were carried out with bare hands, though weapons could be requested in the case of greater slights. Hierarchy was likewise determined by these duels. If someone wished to replace a being in a position of power, they had that right once every standard year. The winner of the subsequent duel would take the title in question. These customs arose from years of trouble with pirates, mercenary groups, and independent security forces who either deemed the Fleet a threat or an easy target. Those who thought the latter were often quickly corrected.
