Smuggling
The stars belong to those bold enough to take them. We are APES—hunters, raiders, and survivors of the void. We bow to no empire, answer to no corporation, and carve our own path through the jungle of the ‘verse. Where others see borders, we see opportunity. Where others fear the dark, we thrive in
History
History of APES
The origins of APES are lost in the shadows of the void, whispered in dark corners and encrypted transmissions. Some say it began as a rogue cell of ex-UEE Marines who refused to fight for a dying empire. Others claim it was a brotherhood of outcasts, smugglers, and pirates who found strength in unity. Whatever the truth, one fact remains: APES were born in the lawless fringes, forged by fire, and tempered by the will to survive.
The Fall of the First Troop
The first known APES emerged in Pyro, a system where survival is its own kind of currency. A small but vicious band of raiders, they built a reputation striking against corporate convoys and hoarding syndicates. They thrived on chaos, but chaos breeds enemies. A coalition of bounty hunters and mercenaries, backed by bloated megacorps, set their sights on APES. The first troop fought hard, but one by one, their hideouts were burned, their leaders hunted. By the time the smoke cleared, APES were presumed extinct.
Rebirth in the Void
But you cannot kill what lurks in the jungle. Survivors scattered, biding their time, learning, adapting. They rebuilt in the shadows, recruiting those who had nothing left to lose and everything to gain. No longer just a band of raiders, APES became something greater: an organization, a force, a legend.
APES returned to the ‘verse stronger, faster, more ruthless. No longer content with petty raids, they expanded their operations—smuggling, enforcement, black-market dealings, and high-stakes piracy. They struck in Stanton, disappeared into Pyro, and left their mark wherever wealth and weakness met. Corporations whispered their name in fear, while frontier drifters raised their glasses in quiet admiration.
The War on Chains
With power came enemies. The UEE declared APES a priority threat, bounty hunters swarmed like flies, and rival gangs tried to claim their territory. But APES do not kneel, do not beg, do not break. Instead, they turned the hunt on their hunters. They learned to strike from the canopy—hitting supply lines, sabotaging infrastructure, vanishing before the alarms could sound.
The war against the old world—the bloated merchants, the rusting empire, the weak who clung to their illusions of safety—was far from over. But APES had already won. Their legend was carved into the void, their strength undeniable.
The Future of the Jungle
APES are not just raiders or smugglers. They are a movement, a force of nature. They do not build cages, they do not plant flags. They take, they thrive, and they vanish. The jungle does not belong to the weak. It belongs to those strong enough to seize it.
And APES are just getting started.
APES TOGETHER STRONG.
Manifesto
APES TOGETHER STRONG.
Who We Are
We are APES—renegades, hunters, and jungle-born raiders of the void. We do not kneel to empires, we do not beg from fat-fingered merchants. The stars are our canopy, Pyro our nest, and Stanton our hunting ground. We swing through the black, fists clenched, teeth bared, taking what we want because the strong must eat.
We do not build cages. We do not plant flags. We take and we thrive. The corporations grow bloated in their hollow trees, hoarding wealth while the weak scurry below. But the jungle is not for the weak. The jungle has no walls. The jungle belongs to those with the strength to seize it. We are those who take.
The Law of the Jungle
We thrive where others wither. The void is wild, but we are wilder. We raid, smuggle, hunt, and vanish. When opportunity swings past, we grab it with both hands. Where there is weakness, we strike. The ‘verse is our jungle, and we move through it like shadow and thunder.
APES TOGETHER STRONG – A lone hunter is dangerous. A troop of hunters is unstoppable.
RULES OF THE JUNGLE – The stars are wild. Only those who climb highest, swing fastest, and strike hardest survive. The weak follow rules. The strong make their own.
PROFIT WITH PURPOSE – We take what is ours, but we do not waste. Every credit, every haul, every hunt feeds the troop.
NO CAGES, NO CHAINS – No empire, no corp, no leash. We are wild, we are free.
STRIKE FROM THE CANOPY – The best attack is one they never see coming. By the time they hear the rustling, we are already gone.
We are the whisper in the leaves. We are the growl in the dark. We are APES. And we are just getting started.
APES TOGETHER STRONG.
Charter
By the will and might of the APES,
We set forth to claim what is ours, to operate beyond the grasp of the UEE, and to build an independent force that answers only to itself.
APES is forged in the fire of ambition, thriving in the lawless reaches where the strong endure and the weak are forgotten. We are smugglers, hunters, and expansionists, united under a single purpose: power through action, wealth through risk, and survival through dominance.
The APES recognize no law but our own, no authority beyond our ranks. We deal in shadows, strike without warning, and leave our mark wherever we roam. We take what others will not, hunt what others cannot, and build what others dare not.
To this end, APES security forces and enforcers are bound to protect our interests, ensure the strength of our organization, and serve as the first and final word in any dispute.

The UEE – A dying alpha too blind to see the jungle growing around them. Their laws are old, their walls are crumbling. We swing through their ruins.
Our Future
The ‘verse changes, but the jungle remains. We swing, we strike, we take, and we vanish. Our legend echoes in the trees, our enemies tremble at the rustle in the canopy. From underground dens to high-stakes raids, we carve our path through the void.
