Where I'm from there's a race that kept tryin' to expand their empire. They're the Kree. Took on the Xandarian Empire for a while. Nearly wiped out some races. A lotta Ravagers are Kree defectors, former citizens interned for dissentin', former slaves like me.

[Now, some are assholes, sure, but the Ravagers are kind of a simple roving home for the lost and disenfranchised that have to start with nothing. The greatest tragedy of the loyalist portion of his crew dying.]

They've been forced into some treaties lately. Some of the old guard warriors ain't happy with it and sided with some uh... real special leaders, I'll call 'em that.
