History
### History of Blades of the Glade
Founded in 2930, Blades of the Glade emerged from the ashes of conflict during the brutal expansion of the UEE. The organization was established by a group of elite operatives and former military strategists disillusioned by the rampant disregard for ecological preservation in warfare. Their aim was to create a private military company that could execute high-stakes missions while upholding a strict code of environmental ethics.
In its early years, Blades of the Glade focused on providing security services to corporations engaged in sensitive operations in hazardous areas, especially those involving resource extraction on pristine planets. Their first major contract was to protect a mining facility on Terra Nova, where they successfully thwarted a rival corporation’s sabotage attempt. The operation was a turning point, garnering attention across the sector and solidifying their reputation as a capable and responsible force.
As their influence grew, the Blades diversified their services, adapting their tactics to include counter-insurgency, intelligence gathering, and extraction missions. Utilizing the latest in stealth technology and guerrilla warfare strategies, they quickly became a preferred choice for clients seeking skilled operatives who could navigate both hostile environments and political landscapes.
In 2942, during the escalating tensions between the UEE and various pirate factions, Blades of the Glade took on a daring mission to rescue a group of diplomats held hostage on a remote outpost. The successful extraction, executed under the cover of darkness, showcased their tactical prowess and solidified their reputation as an elite force. This operation also marked their evolution from a local security firm to a recognized player in the interstellar private military landscape.
By 2950, Blades of the Glade had expanded its reach, establishing branch offices on major planets like Stanton and ArcCorp. They began to offer corporate consultation services on eco-sustainable practices in military operations, earning them respect not only as mercenaries but as advocates for responsible warfare.
Today, Blades of the Glade stands at the forefront of private military operations within Star Citizen, known for their commitment to both operational excellence and environmental stewardship. They continue to engage in high-risk missions across the galaxy, navigating the complex interplay of corporate interests, interstellar politics, and ecological preservation, all while ensuring that their legacy reflects the harmony between warfare and nature.
