Yeah, I know i could probably find this out myself, but my computer is on the fritz and I can't be fucking bothered to grind up the XP needed to make it through on the mobile build, so here we are.
Probably because her daughter’s father is Amara (the final boss in Kara Quest 2) who is a leader in the black void. That and she IS a bounty hunter and some bounty hunters will take any job from anybody no matter how evil they are as long as the money is good. Shade probably doesn’t fall in that category so it’s probably the former.
Because she's pretty seriously close to one of their Dread Captains (who fathered her daughter) and probably because she had no father figure because Tricky Vic fucked off.

To be fair, Vic was all about one-night-stands, less "fucked off" than just oblivious. Couple in his rampant TF addiction plus this being ~18 years before he got his diagnosis, you make conclusions.
From the horse's mouth, BV are less a monolithic, tightly-organised group and more a loose confederation of various different shady (ho ho) interests who have umbrella'd together to further each other's own goals. Shade is affiliated with a bounty hunting arm of BV that's more ruthlessly pragmatic than out-and-out criminal.
