Blacksand City
BlackSand city is the capital of the planet of Theev. This city was established by Three Pirate Lords who sought to keep their way of life, but needed to protect it as well. The idea was to create a secret planet where those privileged pirates willing to follow a strict code of conduct would have a safe haven to be able to operate safely. To the public eye Blacksand city is a High Tec city where major corporations come to conduct business and get entertained at the Casinos and theaters in the Gold Rose Borough. In reality Blacksand city is the nothing more then a den of thieves protected by very strict pirate code that the founding pirate lords established on how business was to be conducted. The pirates that call Blacksand city, or Theev it self, will live by this code, or suffer the swift justice that was established by the founding fathers. The city has two levels with the upper city being built on cavasses on the mountains of Theev. The glamorous upper city is what the public eye sees including the prying eyes of the Third Imperium. The lower city was build in the cavasses themselves of the those same mountains and is ran like the legendary island of Nassau. The lower city is protected as much as the upper city and anyone who goes to the lower city that does not have the proper colors are never seen again. All items that have been pirated by the pirates are taken to the lower city where they are laundered and fenced to be legally sold in the open market. Not every pirate known through out the OTU knows the location of Theev. There are many rumors as to where the legendary planet is located like District 268 subsector in the Spinward Marches Sector.

History
Blacksand city was established in the year 01 of the Third Imperium. The pirates were being hunted down by the upstart Third Imperium and need a location where they could operate. Theev was once part of the Sindal empire. The founding Pirate Lords were looking for a place where they could operate from the preying eyes of the 3I. One of the founding Pirate lord by the name of Rutherford Hayhurst landed on this planet running from the Imperial Navy. The red sand dust storms that happen quite frequently messed with the sensors and electronics of the Imperial Navy. The place where Hayhurst had landed was protected from the storms. Getting together with two other powerful pirate captains Westcott Middleton and Denton Springfield the three started the construction of the two cities. The Three pirate lords laid the foundation for how the upper and lower cities are ran.
