Transport
Based out of the frostbitten corridors of New Babbage, the Cold Horizon Collective is a crew of skilled haulers, trained security operators, and clever smugglers united by one principle: get the job done, no matter the route. We don’t chase glory, and we’re not in it for heroics—we believe in PROFIT
History
It started simple — a few independent pilots stuck waiting out a whiteout in New Babbage hangars, talking contracts, close calls, and cargo gone missing. The names didn’t matter. The credits did. But more than that, they all shared a mindset: fly smart, stay off the radar, and always finish the job.
What began as a loose network of freelancers slowly became something more. A collective. A crew. Not a syndicate, not a corp — just like-minded operators who knew the system wasn’t built for people like them. Legal work didn’t always pay enough. Illegal work didn’t always end well. But somewhere in between? That’s where the money—and the freedom—was.
From routine hauls out of ArcCorp’s industrial belts, to running sensitive packages past the prying eyes of the UEE, to providing fire support near Grim Hex, the Cold Horizon Collective made a name for itself: dependable, discreet, and dangerously good at what they do.
We’re not mercenaries, and we’re not pirates. We’re problem solvers with cargo holds. Guardians when needed. Ghosts when not. And we don’t forget who we fly with.
Now, our hangars are fuller, our network wider, and our reputation sharper. But our creed hasn’t changed:
Stay cold. Fly smart. Protect your own
Manifesto
We are not bound by banners.
We do not kneel to corporations or crawl for the UEE.
We are free pilots, fighters, and freethinkers who found strength in unity—
Not in rank, not in titles, but in trust.
We formed in the cold, where the void doesn’t care if you’re honest or clean.
Where cargo goes missing, and comms go silent.
Where help never comes unless you bring it yourself.
That’s where we learned who we are.
We are the Cold Horizon Collective.
We move what others won’t.
We fly lanes others fear.
We protect what matters, no matter where it takes us.
We believe loyalty matters more than legality,
And doing right by your crew means more than following orders.
We aren’t pirates. We aren’t mercs.
We run clean when we can, grey when we have to.
Because out here, survival favors the flexible.
We don’t posture. We don’t preach.
We do the job. We watch each other’s backs.
And when the system turns cold on us—we stay colder.
If you want a banner to wave, look elsewhere.
If you want a crew that rides the edge, flies smart, and holds the line—
You’ve found your horizon.

II. Core Values
1. Loyalty First – The Collective protects its own. No member flies alone when the heat comes down. 2. Discretion Always – We don’t talk about the cargo. We just get it where it needs to go. 3. Professionalism in All Things – Whether you’re flying clean or working in the grey, do it with skill and respect. 4. Mutual Profit – Every run, every op, every contract — we move together, and we earn together. 5. Stay Cold Under Fire – We don’t panic. We don’t betray. We handle it.⸻
III. Operations
We operate primarily out of New Babbage, with frequent trade lanes through ArcCorp and high-risk security contracts near Grim Hex. Our members engage in: • Hauling (legal, sensitive, and classified) • Convoy protection and tactical security • Smuggling and black-market logistics • Asset recovery, salvage, and recon

V. Code of Conduct
• No betrayal. Ever. • No hostility toward fellow members. • No reckless heat without crew approval. • No bragging about sensitive ops in public channels. • No dragging the name through the dirt. You rep us when you fly.⸻
VI. Recruitment Policy
We don’t take everyone. We look for pilots with spine, discretion, and loyalty. You don’t have to be the best shot or the fastest flier — just be someone we’d trust on a silent run or a hot drop.
⸻
VII. Final Words
We don’t care where you came from.
We care where you’re going, who you’re flying with, and whether you can hold the line when things go cold.
Welcome to the Collective.
Fly smart. Stay cold. Watch your six.
