Blood Irons

The Blood Irons were a mysterious group which originated on the planet Kastrian. Years ago, the Kastrians had been entangled in an interplanetary war between their two neighboring planets. Inevitably many of the battles of the warring factions were fought on Kastrian, which was located right between the two other planets. Most of the planet was destroyed in the process, the Kastrian people slaughtered, their cities destroyed and their belongings looted. For a decade the universe forgot about the Kastrians, believing them to have been wiped from the face of the galaxy. It was only when the leaders of the nations formerly at war were assassinated in an inexplicably gruesome manor, that the galaxy saw what had become of the remains of Kastian. The surviving Kastians, most of whom had been children during the war, had banded together for vengeance, declaring they were the Blood Irons, the blades forged from the blood of their ancestors in the flames of war.

 

After the assassinations, the Blood Irons continued exacting vengeance on the ones who wronged them. They were equipped with their signature iron blades, but also utilized heavier weapons such as quad blasters. Their victims never saw their faces, though, since they hid unter clay masks and helmets, resembling the culture and the ancestors they had lost forever.
