The Syndicate

History
The Powell Syndicate was a sprawling criminal organization that first began making a name for itself during the early days of the Human-Covenant War. Headed by the ambitious Thomas Powell, it appeared on Sigma Octanus IV and used the chaos of the Human-Covenant War to expand its influence to other planets as well. Through a combination of petty crime, drug trafficking, racketeering, extortion, blackmail, and murder, the syndicate ruthlessly did away with any competing criminal organizations and managed to make itself useful to many planetary governors in order to avoid excessive attention from the UNSC. By the end of the Human-Covenant War, the Powell Syndicate had footholds on nearly every remaining planet in the Inner Colonies and used the subsequent period of reconstruction to continue its aggressive expansion.
