The Ravagers

The Ravagers are an interstellar group of thieves, smugglers and pirates. They were notable across the galaxy for their crimes.

The Ravagers were led by Yondu Udonta and were affiliated with a member of an unknown race, who was Peter Quill's Father.

In 1988, they abducted Peter Quill to return him to his father but failed to do so.

In 2014, Quill who now goes by the alias of "Star-Lord" went to Morag and stole a Orb that the Ravagers were hired to receive for a third party but Quill double-crossed the other Ravagers and stole the Orb to sell himself.

On Knowhere, the Ravagers eventually found Quill as he turned himself in to them. Quill negotiated a deal with Yondu to hand over the Orb in exchange for help to stop a Kree terrorist called Ronan from using the Orb to destroy Xandar.

On Xandar, numerous M-ships went to fight Ronan the Accuser's forces when Yondu was shot down. Quill and his team known as the Guardians of the Galaxy managed to win the fight against Ronan while many of the Ravagers were preoccupied with Ronan's forces.

Afterwards, Quill pretended to give Yondu the orb but he secretly swapped it with a Troll Doll. The Ravagers later discussed that it was a good thing they did not give Peter Quill to his father as they were ordered.
