| “ | “To be a pirate is to embrace chaos. You kill or be killed. You live with whatever moral code you choose and if you happen to die by that code then at least you die a true man. If you can’t handle that responsibility then maybe you shouldn’t be here. Go back to your banners and fields and let someone else shoulder the blame when they make the orders.” | ” |

The Osk Company is the name of a band of privateers affiliated with Imperial Center Store. Based out of Eyesore. They make their way through the Galaxy as freelance anythings, willing to undertake everything from high risk escort or assualt missions to mundane delivery missions, so long as the pay is right. They are lead by the somewhat eccentric Snipes, who keeps the small, somewhat insane fleet together.
The Osk Company got it's name when Snipes original small group of sometimes privateers were given the planet of Osk 91 in exchange for services rendered and services to be rendered on the agreement that he be able to provide for protection. As such he sent out a call to privateers across the galaxy, and quickly amassed a small, and somewhat rag-tag, fleet. After that they were dubbed 'The Osk Company', as it sounds more respectable that some of the alternatives.
The group also prefers not to call themselves pirates or privateers but rather "Men of Fortune" or "Enterprising Individuals".
☠The Locker
A run down and half destroyed military base found nestled part way into a mountain on Eyesore. While the base itself is run down it is still much larger than what is needed by the privateers and has started to become something of a small city. Even with the recent increases in the size of the fleet much of the facility is still left unused, as such some enterprising individuals have set up shops in otherwise unused areas, at the time of writing it holds ten bars, three blaster shops, six brothels and a variety of seedy shops selling any bits of precious that might be useful to a pirate. Some of these shops are run by family members of the pirates, others are run by friends or, in rare cases, simply enterprising individuals from off world.
Snipes and the other leaders of the group turn a blind eye to it, as the presence of such things are extremely good for morale, and because of the remoteness of the planet the fleet can go through long periods without setting foot on a civilized world.
While no hanger exists for the various merchant ships coming to peddle thier wares to pirates with cash in their pockets, there is a hanger that houses Corellian Hound, Queen Tetra's Revenge and Coffin Nail. The various enterprising individuals on the planet have made various attempts, most coming up half finished, to create a shelter or primitive starport for the merchant vessels, however Snipes is unwilling to part with the money to fund such a project.
☠History
The Osk Company can trace it's roots all the way back to the CDF, where Visha and most of Corellian Hound's crew (Possibly Snipes aswell, although the exact connection is unknown and possibly coincidence) first served together. They served first on a DP-20 Gunboat before serving of an experimental CR-90 that met a disastrous end during a training exercise. Afterward the crew was spread throughout the fleet, but within months they had all disappeared, Visha going as far as to steal an Assassin Class Corvette.
The ship and crew then joined up with a large pirate organization before it's untimely destruction, along with their ship. The crew was once again cast to the four winds, however a chance encounter between Snipes and Visha caused the crew to reform, this time on board his own salvaged and modified CR-90. Thus the Corellian Hound was born.
However it was not until Snipes was granted rights to the planet of Osk 91 that he sent forth a call to privateers everywhere and the group became "The Osk Company", a band of rag-tag and loosely aligned pirates, brigands, mercenaries, killers, spacers, spicers, smugglers and other miscreants.
The first venture of the group was brought about by an over abundance of willing people and a rather exasperating shortage of vessels; Snipes demanded that all vessels be loaded full of people and then they jumped randomly into hyperspace. Snipes managed to lead them around the galaxy for three weeks before becoming exasperated himself and finally settling on a rather poor looking space station. The bored and violent privateers fell upon it in full force and it wasn't long before all possessions of consequence fell into their hands. However shortly after the privateers with half a mind had taken all the good loot the New Republic fell upon the fledgling fleet and they were forced to flee.
