Varjagers
The Varjagers (瓦良格帮) are an organization of bandits active in the contamination zones of Eastern Europe since 2066.[1] Wearing similar uniforms (gas masks, helmets and heavy protective suits) and well-armed, including assault mechs starting 2070, they specialize in cruel looting raids, but the URNC hasn't taken action against them since they rarely target purified regions.[2] They mostly attack Yellow Zone settlements and convoys,[3] and sometimes the Intercontinental Railway.[4]
Their name is derived from the Varangians, a medieval Viking group, and the names of their units are often derived from Norwegian words or words from other North Germanic languages (in the English translation only).
The Varjagers were originally a multitude of bandit groups who became organized under a single leader, though their structure remains loose.[3] Known leaders include Berserl (deceased), Ravn (deceased)[5] and Lavrentiy.[6] They are prime targets for bounty hunters[7] and are known to both cooperate with and attack Underground Brokers.[8] It seems the only settlements they won't attack are the contamination sects.[9]
In 2074, a notable change took place in the organization of Varjagers: their movements became more coordinated and their looting strategies more complex, like using underground information network to identify profitable targets, sending covert spies to scout out settlements,[10] using prisoners to lure in more preys[11] and making long-term deals with other factions in the contamination zones.[12] These new tactics were developed under the guidance of the Paradeus agent Glasir.[5][13]
