  The Salvager's Union ''“Them scrappers are all nuts..out there diggin through wrecks with nothing but a space suit and a the void to keep them company. Then they come back here, strolling around with there fancy lights and leather, beeping and whats in all over..”''-Kennard, spaceport supervisor

Homeworld: Trinket ( Asteroid belt, Tartarus System )

Planets: none

Structure
The universe is filled with debris from countless accidents, detritus strewn across forgotten battlefields, remants of lost empires littering lost systems. A few enterprising individuals make a living finding and unearthing the lost tech left behind, searching for anything that might be of value.

Tales circulate from star-port to bar, from ship to ship, telling of the space who found a treasure that made them rich beyond their wildest dreams. Though most spaces take these rumors about as seriously as space dust, there is a bit of truth to them. This is how the Salvager's Union was born.

When Ernest Thornton began to excavate an asteroid belt in the otherwise empty Tartarus system, he stumbled upon things undreamed. He had found the remains of a lost civilization, their planet reduced to rubble from some unknown disaster. Ernest began to bring back unknown tech, little by little excavating the asteroids, building upon his success. Soon he had a base camp set up, then a mining corporation, then an entire station. Before long they had bored and dug their way through enough rock to form a city in its own right, no longer just a mining port, but a thriving tech market, sprawling through the belt itself. Trinket was born and with it the Salvager's Union.

Salvagers are an esoteric bunch, banded loosely together under the common obsessions of exploring for tech and tinkering with it endlessly. They travel endlessly seeking out husk and ruins,pulling apart left overs in deep space or forgotten planets. They usually drag it back to Trinket, selling and trading with the flood of buyers. Trinket itself is a bustling trade port, spanning through the asteroid belt its located in. Salvies decorate themselves with what they cant sell, adorning themselves in flashy neon and LEDs, showing off the choicest bits so everyone can see what they've found.

Why Join The Salvager's Union?
Many species become Salvies for the opportunity of riches, fame, riches, prestige, and oh did we mention riches? Tech is always in high demand, and on planets with little to no readily available technology a Salvie can make a fortune selling what he's found.

The chance of exploring the universe also draws many species into the folds of the Union. Explorers, adventurers, scientists, and xenohistorians often join the Union for no other reason than the opportunity to discover the countless wonders the universe has to offer.
