History

Founding Record – The Crusaders of Steel.

Founded by 2955-12-27 by Bohemunde
The Crusaders ofSteel was formed during a period of growing instability and fragmentation within the Stanton system.
As independent crews and organizations increasingly prioritized profit or individual gain, a clear gap emerged for a disciplined, reliable force focused on logistics, transport, and coordinated operations.

The organization was founded by a small group of experienced personnel who believed that effectiveness in the field begins with structure, preparation, and trust. Rather than pursuing ideology, prestige, or mass recruitment, the Crusaders of Steel was built around practical coordination and clear command principles.

From its earliest operations, the Crusaders of Steel focused on building a cohesive force capable of conducting logistics, transport, and coordinated combat operations. Logistical strength is regarded as the foundation of sustained military action, while trained personnel and organized units form the core of its operational capability.
Discipline during missions is expected and enforced; outside of operations, the organization maintains a respectful, grounded, and non-dramatic culture.

The Crusaders of Steel remains an active and evolving force. Its identity is not defined by past victories or grand claims, but by the operations it conducts, the cohesion of its members, and the doctrine it continues to refine.
Its history is still being written.

Charter

The Crusaders of Steel
This charter defines the structure, doctrine, and operational principles of the Crusaders of Steel.
Its provisions are applied progressively as the Order grows in capability, infrastructure, and operational reach.

Core Foundation — Industrial Doctrine
The strength of the Crusaders of Steel lies in industrial stability.
Our infrastructure serves as:
- The backbone of sustained operations
- A logistical foundation for defense and deployment
- A platform for long-term growth and alliance support
*Industry enables endurance.
Organization enables protection.*

Operational Doctrine — Organized Response
The Order does not seek conflict.
However, we maintain the capability to defend!

Fleet Operational Responsibility
Within the Crusaders of Steel, the rank of Captain carries defined operational responsibility within a designated command domain.
A Captain must demonstrate the capability to lead and deploy assets in organized operations, whether in troop transport, logistics coordination, or combat support roles.
For structured troop deployment, the Starlancer TAC currently serves as the designated doctrinal standard due to its integrated transport and combat capability.
- Deployment Captain: Commands troop transport operations (Starlancer TAC)
- Logistics Captain: Oversees military material transport and supply coordination
- Strike Captain: Commands fighter wings or combat support units
