Obsidian Death

The Obsidian Death is a criminal organization that first appeared in Not Applicable and are the main antagonists of Tech 10: Rebooted's second season.

History
Though most of the Obsidian Death's operations take place undercover, they are known to the galaxy at large to be involved with illegal mining and extortion rings.

At one point, they invaded a crystal planet for its resources, but after brutally killing many of the normally peaceful local species in their operations, the inhabitants of the planet rose up and fought back. What exactly went down has been largely covered up, but it is known that the Obsidian Death saw most of its significant strike force destroyed.

At present, they've grown back to their former large numbers, but are a good amount warier of what planets they go after. As of recently, they've sent several seemingly unrelated operations to Earth, which have been stopped for the most part by the efforts of Tech and his team.

Structure
The Obsidian Death is structured more like a military group than an ordinary gang, with specialized subdivisions for various operations.

The hierarchy is represented by a series of stripes on the uniform's chestplate, with each subdivision having its own stripe style and color. The High Commander of each field does not wear any stripes, but instead wears a stylized, four-pointed star. There can only be one High Commander for each subdivision at a time.
 * No stripes indicates a new or inexperienced recruit. These members are generally used as cannon fodder in the Obsidian Death's strike force.
 * One stripe indicates the lowest-ranked members of one of the Obsidian Death's subdivisions. This rank is only achieved after displaying proficiency in a particular field and being assigned to the accompanying subdivision.
 * Two stripes indicate an advanced member of a subdivision. This rank is assigned to those who display skill sufficiently beyond that of even an experienced One-Stripe.
 * Three stripes indicate a First Commander of a subdivision. Contrary to the name, there are actually three First Commanders at a time, though no more can be promoted at once. First Commanders are extremely proficient in their fields, and can generally work with the skill of an entire team of Two-Stripes.

The highest ranked member of the Obsidian Death is the founder, officially known as the Chief Commander. It is currently unknown what the symbol of his uniform is, as he makes it a point to never be seen.
