Lightning Brothers

Over the last 50 years, religious churches within the Kobra Sector have been targeted by an incredibly bizarre quasi-Christian cult--the Lightning Brothers. The Lightning Brothers have ravaged many churches inside the sector through a brutal campaign of kidnapping, beatings, blackmail, and, according to some Protestant church leaders, murder. LB is becoming a serious menace as its operatives are spreading across the region quickly and their ultra-secrecy and destruction of evidence has been so thorough that it has been extremely difficult to prove any LB members involvement in these crimes. The Lightning Brothers has thrived in the sector at least in part because of the beneficence of the planet Barwatten, which has allowed their leader "sanctuary' due to supposed {political oppression". From his base on that planet he continues to encourage his followers to attack, disrupt, and coerce religious groups across the sector.
