Contraxia had an extremely comprehensive surveillance system. Nearly every corner of the city was monitored, and the recordings were not used for law enforcement, but for gathering intelligence.
Setting aside how much data ten years could accumulate, Howard's Jarvis was clearly a level above Tony's, whether in processing speed or anything else. As expected, the old hand was still the better one.
Even so, quite a few Marauders had appeared in New London, yet neither Jarvis nor Su Ming could identify Starhawk or Yondu in the footage.
"Interesting. Starhawk was someone of some standing among the Marauders. Did no one invite him here to have some fun?"
The Marauders were essentially space mercenaries, sometimes moonlighting as pirates. It varied from group to group; their alliance was extremely loose.
They usually operated by spaceship, scattered across different corners of the universe. One ship could be considered a mercenary company. It was a unique ecology of the vast cosmos—whether aliens or humans, everyone liked banding together for warmth while fighting among themselves.
But when facing a powerful enemy, the Marauders would unite as well, like the pirate alliances of old Earth, forming a force capable of using guerrilla warfare to contend with a cosmic Empire.
Stakar Ogord and his stepsister-wife, Aleta Ogord, became Starhawk only after merging. They were effectively the spokespeople of the Arcturian Hawk God. Among the many Marauders, Su Ming found only Starhawk's crew somewhat worthy of notice, since they were Chosen Ones.
