History

The Foundation

In 2020, YTRY Studio™ was an American company founded by internet personalities VelvetWolf and PhyreChris as a means of publishing Internet Entertainment Media such as Animations, Internet Web-Series, Music, Merchandise and more.

The name “YTRY” is a spark of controversy among its followers, while public speculation of it being an acronym remained to be seen, it was revealed that it was initially incorporated into the brand mainly due in part to it being associated as a historical use between the founders recreational and creative works prior to the Companies initiation.

It was at this time the famous “Star Eyed Skull” design became the companies Figurehead. The “Star” in the eye was an idea derived from the famous “spark in the eye” which would refer to a certain enthusiasm or excitement for something. In this case the founders constant enthusiasm for Creative works and entertainment publishing’s. The skull representing itself as a merit that “Ones work will outlast its creators.”

The Reformation

In 2520, with technological advancements and more star systems being discovered, YTRY Studio comprising of talented minds would reform into the YTRY Founders Collective with the core focus of becoming a powerful organization of innovative talented individuals.

In 2546, with the UPE’s reform into the UEE by Ivar Messer, the YTRY Founders Collective would be forced underground, as its operations would be seen as a threat against the prying eyes of this newly found Corrupt Power.

For over two centuries, the YTRY Founders Collective would form into a skilled underground PMC and Advanced Black Market trading group. Offering covert mercenary work, Innovative Inhouse Technologies, High Value Data, and Advanced Contraband. This would form the Collective into an Underground Empire and act as a haven for those targeted by the Empire’s corrupt rule.

The Fall

In 2789, The UEE under the appointment of Linton Messer XI, would discover the main operations of the YTRY Founders Collective, and would swiftly dismantle all core operations and confiscate advanced YTRY technology. Anyone associated with the collective were excuted on sight. Within that year, the YTRY Founders Collectives Population and Forces were Fatally dispatched by 98%. Nearly destroying the collective as a whole, yet, it didn’t stop there.

The Vanguard Order

In 2791, two years after the subsequent dismantling of the Collective, the remaining members would form a new front as part of the grander revolution against Linton Messer and the Messer Dynasty as a whole. This front would come to be known as The Vanguard Order. The Order would take on the Figurehead of a Sword and Shield, representing themselves as Protectors and the forefront of any offensive, the “Star Eyed Skull” would be added to pay homage to the fallen Collective with three underlying Stars representing the Three Founders, and Wolves flanking the blade as a means of courage, adaptability, and loyalty. Finally, the wings to signify the Collectives resurrection and ascension from the ashes.

In 2792, the Revolution against Linton Messer would be a success and Democracy would be restored. The UEE would remain, but would be led down a far more prosperous direction. With Erin Toi taking seat as the first freely elected Imperator, The Vanguard Order would be graduated into a Legal Organization under the UEE. It would contractually serve the Empire from this point forward through Freelance work and Priority Orders.

The Present

Today, the Vanguard Order remains as an Open Enrollment Organization for anyone who wants a hand in Skilled Glory. If initiatives show promise and can commit to the call of duty, they may find themselves promoted to the Vanguard, an honor like no other. While the Order is only but a small fraction of what its predecessor used to be, it is nonetheless an Organization worthy of partaking in.

Manifesto

Join our Discord

In 2792, after the reform to a Democratic Structure under Imperator Erin Toi, the Vanguard Order was reorganized to serve as a Special Private Military Contract Group for the UEE.

Unlike the UEEM², the Vanguard Order was given free reign to take on Freelancer work through any range of CDF contract work. The Vanguard Order will always expect its forces to act as the spearhead during Urgent Priority Missions concerning the UEE as a whole. This means taking point in infiltration operations, invasions, deescalating terrorist attacks, collecting valuable data for the UEE, and going above and beyond the call of duty. Those who show the strength and courage to take on these tasks will find themselves atop the chain of command in no time.

The Vanguard Order leaves its doors open to anyone who feels they have what it takes to be apart of this Special Unit. In some cases, citizens may be approached by our Seekers

The Vanguard Order follows a unique ranking system. Climbing through these ranks will be possible based on the evaluations of every members skill and performance, and will be judged by our respective Founders and Directors.
