Blood on the Leaves
Shortly after first appearing out of nowhere, the Blood Irons soon became well known among the people of the galaxy for their merciless assassinations and horrific executions. However, most people only saw them as a minor threat and felt safe, as long as they resided on prosperous planets with high tech security systems. That only changed when the Blood Irons carried out an assassination on Kent Gerrit, a wealthy businessman, residing on the garden world Niwa. The planet of Niwa served as a luxurious retreat for anyone in the galaxy, who had made a fortune and wanted to enjoy the finer things in life, amidst nature, never worrying about work ever again. Gerrit in particular had made his fortune selling weapons of war to both sides entangled in the conflict that had wiped the Blood Iron’s home planet from existence. While knowing the group would eventually come for him, he still considered himself safe on the garden world and refused to be transferred to a nearby military garrison, a favor offered by one of his former customers. This false sense of safety prove fatal when the Blood Irons intruded his domicile. A massacre ensued, in which most of Gerrit’s security personell fell to the blades of the assassins. Strategically taking out the security first and leaving their actual target to wait in despair, the blood irons left Gerrit to be the last one killed. Rumor has it that he died cowardly, begging for mercy, as the Blood Irons crude justice was served. It is said that the leaves of the garden world have been stained with his blood ever since.

Here's my entry for round 3 of the #scififactioncontest by InfernoLug and Figbarfcentral. While I couldn't include my vehicle, The Blade, because of its size, I tried my best at keeping the faction well represented in the color scheme.
