Red Hand
Vengeful Red marauders on Mars who purge the Gamma clans as collaborators with the fallen Golds.
Story so far
The Red Hand are Red marauders running mad in the South of Mars, waging a campaign of terror against the Gamma clans—including Lyria's—whom they brand pets and collaborators of the Golds who once favored them. They raid helpless assimilation camps, kidnapping sons, killing fathers, and savaging the rest, claiming to bring justice to their own Color. Their raids are daily news on the HC, and their menace has forced the Solar Republic's relief ships to arrive only under heavy military escort, dropping supplies in parachute crates rather than landing—turning liberation's promise sour and leaving the freed Reds of the camps caught between old oppressors and new avengers.
Role
A ground-level insurgent threat on Mars; the terror hanging over the Gamma refugee camps and a sign of the Republic's fraying order.
