The Hand of Cards Mercenary Group is composed of seven highly-armed ships and their single home base, the Invisible Hand. This group, if not on a mercenary contract, are bounty hunters. They have about 7000 combat-experienced men ready to go to wherever they're needed. The Hand of Cards not only exceed in ground combat, but also in arial combat dispite low ship numbers, mainly because somehow the Mercenaries got their hands on both Freelancer, Helixian, and Ancient's technologies.
