History
Astral Zenith Exaction Guild began as a respectable mining outfit with a simple dream: extract rocks, file reports, and not get shot. Unfortunately, the universe disagreed. After their third “unexpected cargo redistribution event,” AZEG made a small policy adjustment — if someone touched their ore, they became the ore.
The turning point came during what corporate records now refer to as a “hostile audit engagement.” A rival crew attempted to seize a claim. AZEG responded with enthusiastic feedback and discovered two things: salvage pays better than lawsuits, and lasers solve most disputes. The Enforcement Wing was formed shortly after, mostly because someone had to invoice the wreckage.
In the aftermath, AZEG leadership convened its first official board meeting inside the still-cooling wreckage of the opposing vessel. Minutes were recorded. Mostly because someone insisted we needed “documentation for tax purposes.” It was there the Guild formalized its new operational philosophy: proactive deterrence through overwhelming enthusiasm.
Recruitment standards evolved accordingly. Prospective members were required to demonstrate basic mining competency, advanced situational awareness, and a healthy disregard for conventional conflict resolution. Performance reviews became straightforward — if you returned with ore, you were commended. If you returned with additional ships, you were promoted.
As operations expanded, AZEG refined its internal vocabulary. “Ambush” became “market correction.” “Boarding action” became “hands-on asset verification.” “Running away” became “strategic repositioning for future revenue opportunities.” Clarity is important in any professional environment.
Today, the Guild maintains a simple doctrine: secure the claim, secure the salvage, secure the narrative. We prefer stability. We simply define stability as “no one else shooting at us anymore.”

Manifesto
The universe is not fair.
It is poorly supervised.
Astral Zenith Exaction Guild exists to correct this administrative oversight.
We believe value should not remain unattended. If resources are floating in space without proper security, we consider that an invitation to improve ownership clarity. If hostility presents itself, we consider that a networking opportunity.
We reject chaos.
We reject inefficiency.
We reject the idea that “dibs” is a legal framework.
Mining funds our independence.
Conflict funds our expansion.
We do not seek violence.
We simply prepare for it so thoroughly that it often arrives.
Where oversight fades, we operate.
Where resistance forms, we reorganize it.
The void does not care who is right.
Only who is left.
We plan to be left.
Charter
Astral Zenith Exaction Guild is built on structure, restraint, and the quiet understanding that most problems in space can be solved with either patience or calibrated laser output.
We prefer patience.
We simply budget for the lasers.
At our core, we are industrialists. We understand supply chains, mineral density, optimal routes, and the precise moment a peaceful operation becomes an educational experience for everyone involved. We are not adrenaline junkies. We are professionals who happen to enjoy the sound of shields collapsing when properly justified.
AZEG culture values composure above all. Calm comms. Clear roles. No shouting unless it improves morale. We do not panic. We assess, reposition, and apply solutions. If those solutions happen to be explosive, that is a technical detail.
We are self-sufficient by design. Mining funds our fleet. Fleet presence secures our mining. The system is beautifully circular, like orbital mechanics or recurring hostility. We do not rely on luck. We rely on preparation, redundancy, and the comforting knowledge that most people underestimate miners.
Internally, we are pragmatic. Ego is discouraged. Competence is rewarded. Overconfidence is corrected — sometimes gently, sometimes at velocity. Every member is expected to contribute: extract efficiently, communicate clearly, and never assume the other ship is friendly just because it says it is.
We do not posture in chat.
We do not monologue in combat.
We do not chase chaos for its own sake.
We operate with intention. If we escalate, it is because escalation made financial sense.
There is humor here, but it is dry and usually delivered after the debris field settles. We are aware of what we do. We simply frame it in terminology that would make a compliance officer sweat lightly.
We are disciplined enough to mine in silence for hours.
We are decisive enough to end a fight in minutes.
We do not seek notoriety. We seek leverage.
Astral Zenith Exaction Guild is not reckless.
We are prepared.
And occasionally, the universe mistakes preparation for aggression.
We try not to correct that misunderstanding.
Code of Conduct
1. Be Competent.
Know your role. Fly your ship. Hit your marks. If you don’t know what you’re doing, ask before the hull breaches.
2. Calm Comms or No Comms.
Panic is contagious. So is professionalism. Choose wisely.
3. Secure the Claim.
If we arrived first, it’s ours.
If we didn’t arrive first, reassess the situation until it becomes ours.
4. No Ego Operations.
We do not engage to impress. We engage to win. If your decision can’t be explained without the phrase “watch this,” reconsider.
5. Mining Funds Everything. Respect It.
Industrial operations are not “downtime.” They are the reason the guns exist. Protect the backbone.
6. Clean Engagements.
We do not grief. We do not posture. We do not waste time.
We resolve situations efficiently and move on.
7. Internal Loyalty Is Absolute.
Disagreements happen. Public fragmentation does not.
If there’s a problem, bring it inward — not into global chat.
8. Debrief. Improve. Repeat.
Every loss is tuition. Every win is proof of process. Learn from both.
9. Leave No Liability Unaddressed.
If it shot at us, it has volunteered for correction.
10. Profit Is Mandatory. Survival Is Encouraged.
Self-explanatory.
