The Raiders
Drifties
"Burn it down. Take what's left."
Philosophy
Take what you can. Rules are chains. The strong survive.
Culture
The Drift has no central authority. Packs of Drifties roam the western sectors, raiding resource nodes and stripping territory before moving on. Loyalty is temporary. Alliances last only as long as they're useful. It's chaos — but in chaos, the ruthless thrive.

Relationship with Remnants
It depends on the pack. Some Drifties hunt humans for sport — target practice that screams. Others recruit the toughest Remnants as scouts, trackers, and bait. A human who survives in The Drift earns respect. They're called "Pack Rats" — small, fast, and surprisingly vicious.
How They Talk
"Walls? Walls just mean they've got something worth taking. Hit it tonight."
