Sandmen
The Sandmen are the well organized criminal organization and pirate fleet operating from Serenity's Reach under the command of the Pirate Queen.
They became known as the Sandmen because they deal heavily in the spicer drug known as Quicksand, a highly addictive substance whose natural components was discovered on Serenity.
History
Curiously enough the Sandmen did not start out called such - they were "The Queen's Men," but once they discovered the spicer drug Quicksand and incorporated it heavily into their criminal schemes, they were called Sandmen by the public (as something of an insult). The Sandmen took the insult to heart and increased their training in non-lethal arts, and it's seen as something of an artform and badge of honor to render an opponent incapacitated without damaging them - or their valuables.
Territories
The Sandmen freely reside throughout Serenity's Reach. Rarely seen in less than team/crew sized groups, they enjoy a form of diplomatic immunity allowing them to act with relative impunity.
They make strikes into the Annular Necrocracy, and use Out Yonder as a gateway to the Perinshaw cluster, a realm of veritable "space whales."
