The Nova Blades was a gang of pirates that were based on the planet Rishi in the decades before the Galactic War. Originally a loose conglomerate of pirate crews that shared resources, the Blades eventually joined together and began to collaborate tactically, extensively preying on New Eden's major hyperroutes to the point where many corporations established a line item known as the "Blade Tax" to account for the expected losses due to the Blades' attacks.
