Faction history

How THUG's ten crews divide the city

Ten crews, five districts, two crews to a district — and almost never the kind of rivalry you'd expect. Here's who runs what, and why they haven't wiped each other out.

Iron Docks: Blackline & Breakwater

Don Rune Kade's Blackline controls the harbor's logistics — what comes in, what goes out, and what quietly disappears along the way. Tor Vale's Breakwater runs the vehicle side: stolen cars, laundered plates, parts. Read their stories on the Blackline and Breakwater pages.

Old Quarter: The Ledger & Blank House

Noir Sorel's The Ledger trades in information and introductions. Elias Venn's Blank House protects what's valuable — buildings, secrets, reputations. Together they cover both halves of what keeps a secret safe. More on the The Ledger and Blank House pages.

Neon Mile: Velvet Circuit & Backchannel

Kira Nox's Velvet Circuit owns the physical nightlife, loud and public. Jax Morrow's Backchannel works underneath it, patient and unseen. Their rivalry looks fierce from outside and functions more like a partnership up close. Read more on the Velvet Circuit and Backchannel pages.

Diamond District: The Table & New Crown

Mira Arden's The Table controls every security contract in the district — and with it, who gets in. Cassian Korda's New Crown moves money through structures nobody outside the crew can fully trace. More on the The Table and New Crown pages.

North Blocks: Northline & Grey Eight

Dax Mercer's Northline builds power through neighborhood protection and loyalty earned the slow way. Sera Voss's Grey Eight runs a surveillance network built almost entirely from kids too young to be suspected of anything. Their stories live on the Northline and Grey Eight pages.

A pattern worth noticing

Every district splits the same way: one crew holding ground directly, one working through information or access instead. That balance isn't an accident — it's what keeps a district profitable enough to be worth fighting over, and unstable enough to leave room for someone new.
