Trade NinjasReport
English：Trade Ninjas · Factions
A small faction that owns exactly three things — a bar in the Hub, a bar in Mourn and a bar in the Rebel Base. They double as the guards of each, driving off bandits that wander near the property and dealing with anyone who causes a disturbance inside. Less a gang than a label for shady black-market bars.
The Trade Ninjas are a small faction. Everything they own is a bar: one in The Hub, one in Mourn, one in the Rebel Base.
What they do
They also act as the guards of each of those locations. They will attack any Dust Bandit, Starving Bandit or Bonedog that wanders near their property, along with anybody who causes a disturbance in their bars.
The wiki offers a neat way to read them: rather than a gang, treat them as a faction label for shady black markets — the name marks the kind of place, not an organisation with plans.
World states
The Trade Ninjas do not patrol any zones, because they never spawn as Homeless Spawns.
Nor do they have any holding that world states can take from them. However, once Heft, Heng and Stoat change hands, the bars in those cities become Trade Ninja property as well.
Two details worth keeping
- The Trade Ninjas are the sole occupants of the Rebel Base, yet the FCS lists the Holy Nation Outlaws as the faction that actually owns the settlement.
- One reading has the Trade Ninjas as the "shadowy figures" mentioned in Ludin's Reports — the ones who talked the Holy Nation out of reoccupying The Hub. In gameplay terms, though, the Trade Ninjas are neither hostile to the Holy Nation nor its enemies.
