History
Bane Transport Industries (BTI): Riding the Trade Winds Since 2891
Born in the aftermath of economic collapse and political unrest, Bane Transport Industries was founded in 2891 on the rugged outskirts of Terra by a group of former UEEN pilots, freelance haulers, and one stubborn logistics expert with a dream. With nothing more than a beat-up Crusader C1 Spirit, they took their first contract: a high-risk med-supply run to a quarantined outpost in the Oberon system.
It wasn’t glamorous. It wasn’t safe. But it paid — and it built something rare: trust.
BTI quickly earned a reputation for going where no one else would. When other companies turned down jobs in volatile systems or demanded convoy escorts, BTI pilots ran solo — bold, fast, and reliable. By 2910, the company had expanded its fleet, favoring the Starlancer MAX for its unmatched cargo flexibility and rugged endurance.
Wherever there was a stranded miner, a colony on the edge, or a critical cargo left undelivered, BTI answered the call. Their iconic ships — sleek, functional, always battle-scarred — became a symbol of grit and defiance. From the smog-choked ports of Grim Hex to the icy landing zones of Euterpe, BTI’s blue-and-black livery came to represent more than freight. It meant someone gave a damn.
BTI pilots were known as misfits: ex-Marines, disillusioned traders, former smugglers trying to go straight. But they all swore the same oath:
“Cargo secure. Engines hot. No matter the system, we deliver.”
Now, in 2955, with growing instability across Stanton and threats like XenoThreat tightening their grip on trade lanes, BTI has stepped into the spotlight. They’ve upgraded their fleet, fortified their routes, and even begun partnering with local militias to safeguard vital cargo corridors.
The mega-corps want to buy them out. Pirates want them gone. But Bane Transport Industries isn’t interested in playing politics.
They’re too busy flying.
Bane Transport Industries (BTI): We Don’t Just Cross the Stars. We Own the Route.
Manifesto
BANE TRANSPORT INDUSTRIES: THE MANIFESTO
We are not a corporation.
We are not beholden to shareholders, bureaucrats, or distant suits who’ve never set foot on a flight deck.
We are not fair-weather traders who scatter at the first sensor ping.
We are Bane Transport Industries.
We deliver where others run.
We fly when others fail.
We endure what others fear.
⸻
We Were Built in the Black
We started with one ship — a battered C1 Spirit with a half-burned nav system and a full tank of ambition.
We didn’t wait for permits or praise. We moved what had to be moved, when it had to be moved.
And when the big corps laughed at us, we out-flew them.
Now we run Starlancer MAXes across systems the UEE barely maps.
We cross jump points blind.
We land in hostile zones.
We get the cargo through.
⸻
We Do Not Abandon
Not cargo.
Not clients.
Not crew.
Out there, it’s easy to feel alone.
To think no one’s coming.
But when you see our livery — blue on black, scarred but flying — you know: someone showed up.
We believe in second chances.
We believe in the frontier.
We believe the edge of space is worth saving — one crate, one outpost, one honest contract at a time.
⸻
Profit Is Not Purpose
We don’t undercut. We don’t cheat.
Our credits are earned, not squeezed from desperation.
BTI doesn’t ask for loyalty — we earn it.
If you want fast riches, look elsewhere.
If you want legacy, integrity, and a shot at something real — you’ve found your port.
⸻
The Oath of BTI
“Engines hot. Manifest locked. Route clear or not — we fly.”
From Stanton to Leir, from Pyro to Nul,
We are the lifeline in the dark.
We are the route when no one else shows.
We are Bane Transport Industries.
And we.
Do.
Not.
Stop.
