The Karsht Hands — Eran “The Foreman”

Hey kitbashers,

This is Eran, known among the Karsht Hands simply as the Foreman.

Before the crew took on mercenary work, he was already leading teams on Karsht — coordinating labour, equipment, and people in an industrial environment where mistakes were costly.
When armed contracts became part of the job, his role didn’t change. Only the tools did.

Karsht is an industrial moon orbiting a far more important primary world.
Its role is simple: extraction, processing, and transport.
Nothing rare, nothing prestigious — just massive volumes of basic materials feeding industries elsewhere.

In recent years, demand across the region has increased.
Distant conflicts, supply disruptions, and expanding war efforts have pushed the need for raw materials higher and higher.
On Karsht, production quotas rose, timelines shortened, and pressure intensified.

The corporations operating the moon never worked in harmony, but under growing demand their rivalries sharpened.
Mining sites, transport routes, and drilling rights became points of contention.
Rather than open warfare, megacorporations relied on deniable force — gangs, hired muscle, and mercenary crews used quietly to weaken competitors and secure advantages.

It was in this environment that the Karsht Hands found their place.
Workers already used to danger, long shifts, and unreliable protection, they adapted quickly.
Under Eran’s direction, the crew proved reliable, mobile, and willing to take contracts others avoided.

As tensions grew, so did the scale of the work.
Larger contracts, riskier assignments, better pay.
Eran didn’t seek authority or expansion, but he recognised opportunity when it presented itself — and took it.

Eran isn’t a commander or a symbol.
He’s a working leader, shaped by pressure and necessity, who kept things moving while the world around him became more volatile.

More to come soon.
