The Zone Warriors were never meant to exist. They weren’t commissioned, recruited, or even fully agreed upon by the people who formed them. Their origin was born not from ideology or command—but from collision. A collision of chaos, rebellion, and survival instincts forged into a crew that would become one of the most unpredictable forces in the outer galaxy. The spark that lit the flame began on the edge of known space in a region called the Fracture Zone—a stretch of unstable systems ravaged by spatial anomalies, political neglect, and interstellar piracy. The region was known for its lawlessness, black market baronies, and scattered ruins of long-dead empires. It was also where the Dominion quietly conducted its most unethical operations. Into this madness flew two survivors of the system's neglect: Drake Vance and Tacko Rinn
LATEST PODCAST EPISODE
Drake Vance – The Rogue Architect
A silver-tongued smuggler with a past soaked in betrayal, Drake stole the freighter now known as the Black Mongoose at just seventeen and vanished into the stars. Cynical, clever, and rarely without a plan (or a flask), Drake had burned bridges across three star systems before he stumbled upon a greater purpose. In time, he became the reluctant leader of the Zone Warriors—the chaos that shaped their cause.
Brakka Nine – The Groundbreaker
A former bounty hunter stripped of his license after blowing up an entire shuttle bay to kill a single target, Brakka was a walking battering ram of muscle and fury. His love of blunt-force solutions and deadpan sarcasm made him both terrifying and strangely endearing. He became the team’s heavy hitter and moral compass in the oddest sense.
Tacko Rinn – The Velocity Addict
An ex-naval pilot known for disobeying direct orders and surviving against impossible odds, Tacko was discharged and marked as “unfit for structured command.” He met Drake mid-flight—during a running battle with Dominion enforcers. The two saved each other, fought a small war side by side, and shared enough trouble afterward to form a bond that would never break
Rugg Delthane – The Data Phantom
Raised by black-market data traders, Rugg learned to slice firewalls before he could read. Cynical, sarcastic, and slightly neurotic, he had hacked Dominion satellites for fun and once crashed a galactic communications network on a dare. His brilliance made him indispensable. His twitchiness made him unbearable—but only to enemies.
Detta Marr – The Bomb Whisperer
Born on a war-ravaged moon and obsessed with “emotional explosives,” Detta could weaponize anything. Her creations were loud, poetic, and often sent with handwritten notes. She joined the crew after they rescued her from a Dominion prison where she had been scheduled for execution for building a bomb shaped like a haiku.
Keera Thorne – The Firefly Queen
A former galactic race pilot banned from every legal circuit after destroying an entire track with a gravity trick, Keera was fearless behind the controls of any ship. Her obsession with speed bordered on religious. She would later become the primary pilot of the Black Mongoose, performing aerial feats no simulation could replicate
Ivo Varn – The Echo Twin
Mysterious twins of unknown origin with an uncanny synchronicity in battle. Their coordination was so perfect it felt unnatural—some claimed psychic links, others said bio-synchronization implants. What mattered was their ability to eliminate threats in unison, complete each other’s sentences, and win every bet they placed on each other’s kills.
