Hacker's Guild

There have been hundreds of thieve's guilds in the past, and they never lasted more than 5 years, and that's in the case of the luckier instances. The problem with thieves is that they are only beneficial to themselves, so everyone with property has a vested interest in putting them down. Hackers, on the other hand, are more akin to mercenaries: they work for whoever pays them the most, and are thus still around because you never know when you could use the services of one who can reprogram an entire space station in the span of a day.
The Hacker's Guild is a collection of the best hackers in the entire system, and they have no delusions about their capabilities. The spend their off-hours tinkering with machinery or programming new A.I., often drifting between projects at whim and helping whoever's caught their eye at the time. It is a generally friendly atmosphere between guild-mates, as they are all united by a shared interest in tech and a unified disgust for oppression.
When a job comes in for the hackers, it is usually organize by level of difficulty and posted on the guild's job board, where anyone with a similar level may attempt to take the job for a large percentage of the reward. It is possible, however, to ask for a specific hacker, provided you know that hacker's online usertag. It should be noted that there are some jobs that the guild will not take, which are usually jobs that involve exploiting the masses for profit or aiding a tyrant's regime.
While the hackers are largely amoral, they do have some standards.They are not completely anti-authoritarian, but they have an intense dislike for needless restrictions and exploitation of the lower classes. While they have been known to scam money out of others in the past, they always make sure the target can actually afford it first. It should also be noted that they have a particular disdain for those who flaunt their position, money, and power and use it to make others miserable. No hacker in the guild hates this practice more than their leader, Nobody.
No one is sure who Nobody is, for they keep their identity a complete secret. All that is known is that Nobody is the leader of the Hacker's Guild, possibly the only one who can unify them. Their leadership style varies, but the most common tactic is leading through inspiration and encouraging others to act on their own, rather than by exploiting position. It is believed they chose the name Nobody because of the idea that hackers are all rebels and "nobody can control a hacker." There is another theory that it is meant to aid in intimidation, as described below, in Nobody's speech to famous trillionaire Edward Stevens, who was known to abuse the underclasses and exploit his companies workers.
The following was broadcast over every news channel and electronic billboard on Earth, shortly after Stevens boasted that he was "untouchable" by anyone, even the hacker's guild, because he had the best security money could buy.

"Attention, people of the world. This is an important message for one Edward Stevens. We have heard your claims that you are untouchable by us. You have even dared us to attack you, and if we did, you would 'find us and root us out one by one.' Consider this our response, Mr. Stevens. We have dealt with your type before. You think you are above everyone around you. You fancy yourself a tenth Elderon, and you honestly believe that nobody can defeat you.
Let me tell you something Mr. Stevens, I'm about to prove you excruciatingly right. Because while you may have money and fame and influence in the real world, we are the masters of the digital realm. Where we reside, position and power mean nothing, all the trappings and armor of reality are stripped away, and all that's left is what you're truly made of. So come at us with your expensive equipment you don't know how to use, and your influence that we don't give two Troll droppings about. And we will hit you with but a fraction of what we are capable of, and in the end, what we do digitally, will have real consequences.
In other words, we accept your challenge. You have exactly 24 hours to apologize, or you will regret ever issuing that dare.

— Nobody, leader of the Hacker's Guild

To earn the position of Nobody, any hacker may challenge them to a hacker's duel, where they try to infiltrate Nobody's defenses in a mock cyberattack. If they are able to defeat Nobody, they earn this position, along with the most powerful computer in the guild, and Nobody's black cloak and voice-altering mask. This initiation process is similar to how one can join the guild in general: their policy is "If you can find us, you can join us." This is easier said than done, as they keep themselves well-hidden, and move their base from year to year.

Structure

The Hacker's Guild runs in a state of organized chaos, each guild member doing their own thing, and forming and disbanding teams for jobs at a whim. While they are united under Nobody, most of their "commands" are general orders. When under attack, however, the hackers band together and operate like a trained military under Nobody's command.

Public Agenda

The Hacker's Guild will take almost any job offered to them as long as the pay is good, such as hacking information from certain groups, disrupting space fleets, or disabling security. However, they do have limits, and will not directly go after struggling individuals, or help a corporation exploit the masses. They have also made it very clear that such blatant exploitation is a good way to attract their ire, and they are a very vindictive bunch.

Assets

The Hackers have a constantly-improving arsenal of computers, robots, and almost any kind of technology one can imagine, and a few most people can't. Most hackers have the skills to take down a bank in a half-hour, and it is a common belief that if they all worked together, they could easily rule a planet, maybe even the entire system. Some believe that they already do, they just haven't gotten around to telling anyone about it yet.

"Meddle not in the affairs of hackers, for we are very skilled and quick to anger. And not particularly subtle."
