THE MALLEON
Ninefinger's Privateers
LIKE FISH IN WATER
The Malleon come from the waterworld of Mor. Nominally an Empire, the true power emanates from the Malleon Bankhouses, mega-corporations constantly vying for control of the Legislative Exchange. From their colony on the storm-drenched world of Carannon, the Malleon rely on privateers to do their bidding in the Conflux and to relieve the war-ravaged Malleon Navy.
Steal Smart
Playing the Malleon privateers in Antematter is about looking ahead and setting up the next big score. Whether it’s extending your reach to snatch resources out from under opposing players, or fattening the pot to press an advantage, Captain Ninefingers and his crew watch and wait for the perfect opportunity to make the most money with the least amount of effort.
Play The Angles
When you’re playing as the Malleon, you like to keep your options open. When your opponents want to bet hard, your crew can slow their roll. When it’s your turn to grab the wheel, your crew can help you outmaneuver your opponents and win a little extra once you’re done taking them for a ride.
SMUGGLE IN STYLE
On the board, the only law you respect is efficiency. Your Roc moves double-time when there’s a planet to loot, and your Raven can snatch two plunders for the price of one. Your crew isn’t the quickest or the best-armed, but your crew has the know-how and connections to make your smuggling run like clockwork.

The art of the con is something that comes naturally to many enterprising young Malleon sailors.
But the Hustler, so unassuming and yet so sly, might be the most dangerous to your wallet. Don’t let his naive face fool you, his cold heart is firmly fixated on taking you for everything you’ve got.
Your Hustlers reduce an opponent’s bet by up to four antes, effectively talking them out of raising. Use them to keep yourself in the hand; maybe the next card up will be the one you’ve been waiting for.
The Malleon philosophy of “Coin and Code” is held in the same regard by its criminal underworld as it is by the captains of industry.
None exemplify this better than the Racketeers. Keeper of books, master of debt, no coin or cargo passes into the crew’s hands without her knowledge and permission. Try to scrub your name from her ledger, and you may have to start writing with your other hand.
Use your Racketeers on the board for a quick loot and recruit using your Raven. She’ll get you your money and new crewmembers in no time so you can keep making money elsewhere.
