The Ninja are a totally sweet faction that struck at the BrikVerse from the shadows in BR 1,999, bringing with them a deadly array of exotic weaponry for which they would soon become famed. They came in ceaseless numbers, fading from view here and striking with precision and style there. No one could keep track of them and they slid through the underworld of the BrikVerse as if they were made of shadowstuff themselves. Few enemies were stalwart enough to stand in the face of Ninja osssumness. Only the Pirates have made a steady habit of it, each side locked in an eternal struggle to determine once and for all who is cooler.

No target is too great, too powerful, or too removed for the Ninja to find a way to slip a blade into some vital part of him. Equal opportunity killers, the Ninja do not discriminate against targets. No one is beneath or above their notice, as long as the price is right. While they may sound mercenary, Ninja hold themselves to a higher form of honor only they can truly comprehend. Some call them hypocrites and some endeavor to emulate them but the gist is this: never cross a ninja and you won't have to worry about that ninja crossing you.
When Ninja are not engaged in wanton murder or the dealmaking for such a thing, they love their little games of intrigue. Whether against outsiders or each other, only the feeling of the kill accomplished well tops getting one over on someone else. To this end, many Ninja train their minds as well as their bodies and are well known for their most excellent practical jokes.
