General Info
Faction Name | Blue Suns |
---|
Overview
The group's influence includes slavery, murder, and protection rackets, highlighting their ruthlessness. On the battlefield, they are known for their guerilla tactics, characterized by rapid attacks followed by decisive retreats. Their resilience and adaptability has seen them face off against different factions over the years, which has only increased their fear. Although the Blue Suns favor batarians and humans, they include turians, vorch, and other races.
The Blue Suns' fame peaked when their founder Vido Santiago betrayed his colleague Zaeed and left him for dead on a disastrous mission. This event marked the Sun's descent into debauchery and further cemented their bloody reputation. They followed a chilling ethos in all they did: "nothing personal, just business." Thus, despite their terrible deeds, they still wield great influence and spread fear across the vast expanse of the galaxy.
History
Led by risk-taking visionary Vido Santiago, who ran the organization after betraying Zaeed, the Blue Suns expanded rapidly, recruiting like-minded thugs and mercenaries from all corners of the galaxy. Their growth was rapid and unstoppable, Santiago using whatever resources he needed to win contracts, increase his territory, and silence the competition. Their history is marked by countless rumors of extreme methods used to hold ranks and contain their enemies. They are said to use fear and brutality rather than loyalty to motivate their soldiers. Blue suns are known for their diversity; Humans, Batarians, Turians, and Krogans can be found in their ranks.
But the rise of the Blue Suns has not been without its challenges. Internal conflicts and external threats have led to drastic changes in business over the years. From Zaeed's unrelenting revenge to adapting to the changing political and military landscape after the Reaper invasion, the Blue Suns have been constantly evolving.
Despite all this, the Blue Suns remain one of the most powerful mercenary groups in the galaxy, and their tainted history is a testament to their survival, adaptability, and brute strength. As they face the challenges of the future, their story continues to be written in the blood and strife of the Mass Effect universe.

Geography
Many of the planets they control are rich in resources that are critical to supplying their vast army of mercenaries with advanced equipment. These planets are ruthlessly ruled by the Blue Sun, where exploitation is rampant. The stations they control are also important stops on the interstellar trade routes, allowing them to regulate trade within their territories.
One of the Blue Suns' most infamous hideouts is deep in the Nemean Abyss, an almost uncharted and dangerous area teeming with pirate activity. Their strongholds are fortified and manned by experienced mercenaries, making any rebellion extremely difficult. With a combination of geography and resources under their control, the Blue Suns ensure that they remain the dominant force in the Mass Effect universe.
