Based on the nature and severity of the offense, a weregild is assigned - a fine and compensatory payment. While structured as a fine, bounty hunters can contract to receive a bounty for enforcing payment. The Vilcy - an organised bounty hunter group - have the money, hardware, and ex-military expertise at their disposal to be successful in the industry of bounty collection in the rings. Their influence in the field is so dominant that most people seeking to make a career of bounty hunting subcontract under the Vilcy for their license. -In-Game Description
The Vilcy are a collective of bounty hunters that profit off of the wrongdoers in the rings, especially with the Ganymedeans. The Vilcy operate both as individuals and in groups, and with their nature, encounters with them almost always are followed by a Ganymedean vessel. In some cases, they also have access to equipment significantly more powerful than usually offered to miners.
Loadouts
Vilcy use a modification to the standardized K37 loadout for it's fleet to maintain a sense of professionalism. These loadouts generally follow a similar pattern, but may differ based on the job of the vessel.
