Welcome back to another Mynock Faction Breakdown.  This week we discuss Scum and Villainy, which unfortunately has come under hard times as of late.  However, there is hope for the faction, as the most recent Hyperspace update has brought Guri back into the fold.  Perhaps you can win a half ton of golden feathers and win a hyperspace trial with Scum.
