Tekkadan / TKIFB

Tekkadan — Iron Flower Brigade began as two stubborn salvagers with little more than a Vulture, a grim sense of humor, and a talent for finding value where others only saw wrecks. What started as a string of late-night reclamations and opportunistic hauls turned into a working doctrine: take the big curves, maximize yield, and move full loads. Over time that doctrine attracted partners, a reputation, and eventually the Reclaimer we call Barbatos — the ship that turned a duo into a unit.

Early years

The founders built the crew on efficiency and discipline rather than numbers. They perfected the “camp-and-print” salvage loop, kept strict sell/repair cadence, and treated each run like a contract: precise, repeatable, and low drama. Word of reliable pay and clean ops brought in a small, steady stream of pilots and haulers who preferred to work smart, not just grind.
Growth and diversification

With steady profits came capability. Tekkadan reinvested in tools and ships, adding mining rigs and haulers to complement salvage runs. The Iron Flower Brigade name crystallized as the group adopted a dual identity: equal parts scavenger and legitimate resource operator. Barbatos anchored the fleet’s salvage work while Vultures and contract haulers handled solo ops and short-haul logistics.
Doctrine and culture

TKIFB operates by a few simple rules: clear comms, full-load mentality, and no griefing. We favor discipline over drama — tactical planning, assigned roles, and predictable cadences keep operations efficient and safe. The Brigade values redundancy (ammo and repair runs are scheduled; spares are stowed), and we train for quick extraction: suppress with remotes, finish with manned guns, and always keep an exit vector.
Notable operations

Salvage: repeated success clearing large‑curve reclamation sites, turning otherwise marginal wrecks into profitable hauls through tight lane discipline and conveyor management.

Mining: targeted vein runs using compact rigs and focused QD hops — lean, repeatable, and low-footprint.

Logistics: establishing reliable sell and resupply rhythms for a two‑person core that scales smoothly when we bring in vetted haulers.

Today

Tekkadan — Iron Flower Brigade is a small, disciplined unit that blends salvage, mining, and cargo work into a single, reliable operation. We keep to a regular schedule of runs, emphasize voice ops during sorties, and recruit people who value efficiency and teamwork. Barbatos remains central to our identity — a weathered hammer that earns its keep — while our pilots and haulers extend the Brigade’s reach.

Looking forward

We aim to grow deliberately: more vetted pilots, dedicated haulers, and a handful of specialists (mining leads, salvage operators, and gunner trainees). TKIFB isn’t about rapid expansion; it’s about building a dependable network that runs clean, sells smart, and leaves nothing valuable behind.

If you want to join or run with us: expect clear callouts, scheduled ops, and a focus on getting the job done. We’re not flashy — we’re efficient, stubborn, and effective. Welcome to the Iron Flower Brigade.
