The Families

The Families are the ultimate traders in the Four Systems - the people who own the Jump Drives. Some of them use their Jump Drives for trading, some for exploration. Some Families use their Jump Drive to prey on others.

The Racers
The original owners of the Valkyrie, before the Furies. Their status is now unknown.

The Orchids
The original owners of the Majestic, before the combined organisation of the Silverbolts and Furies. The Orchids were captained by Mitz Shari. They (and the Majestic itself) were shot down by the Tarn as a protective measure against Jump Cancer (in "Cancer.")
