Black Meridian is a freelance and bounty hunting organization in Star Citizen, specializing in high-risk, high-reward missions—ranging from contract enforcement and bounty captures to tactical escort and interdiction. Operate on RSI Polaris, operated by Captain Brody.
Formed in 2950, Black Meridian was born from a cadre of seasoned freelancers and ex-UEE tactical officers who grew disillusioned with bureaucratic constraints. Banding together, they pooled their credits to acquire the formidable RSI Polaris, transforming it into their mobile operations core. With its formidable armament, agile build, onboard hangar, and full support facilities, the Polaris enabled Black Meridian to operate with autonomy—deploying deep into contested systems, setting up forward bases, and striking swiftly before disappearing into the void.
During its early years, Black Meridian built a reputation for executing surgical bounty contracts, high‑value target captures, and precision escort missions that exceeded demand for deniability. Over time, their operations expanded to cover hostage extractions, interdiction of illicit smuggling convoys, and emergency evacuations in war-torn or Vanduul-threatened sectors. Their methodology became the benchmark of tactical efficiency: launch from the Polaris, deploy LAVs or cut-down fighters, complete the mission, then vanish before local security forces can organize a response.
By 2954, Black Meridian was operating in deep fringe systems like pyro where law is sparse and danger runs high. Their Polaris acted not just as warship, but as command ship, medical hub, rearmament dock, and rally point for merc-run freelance crews. Their creed emphasized adaptability: high‑risk missions demanded flexible tactics, and the Polaris provided the infrastructure to switch from torpedo strikes to hangar deployments, or from direct assault to rescue operations—all with a rotating crew of hardened specialists.
Now, Black Meridian operates in UEE Jurisdiction, primarily in the Stanton system, where they are based in microTech’s capitol, New Babbage.
Today, Black Meridian stands as a shadow‑task force: always ahead of the threat curve, always capable of striking where others cannot follow—and disappearing before they can.
Manifesto of Black Meridian
We are the sharp end of lawful force. The quiet professionals called when precision matters most.
Black Meridian is a tactical freelance organization operating within UEE jurisdiction, executing high-risk, high-value missions with efficiency, discipline, and purpose. Built around the formidable RSI Polaris, our operations center is a capital-class corvette engineered for swift deployment, coordinated strikes, and rapid response in volatile environments.
We serve the systems others fear to patrol—operating under contract, but never under compromise. From bounty recovery to asset protection, interdiction, and covert extraction, our teams specialize in surgical missions where failure is not an option and collateral is not acceptable.
Our Polaris is more than a ship. It is a mobile command hub, forward operating base, and deterrent. From its hangar, we launch fighter wings, boarding crews, and recon elements. Inside its corridors, we coordinate multi-role operations across system borders with precision and discretion.
We do not operate outside the law—we operate where the law is thin, and our presence keeps it from breaking.
Our principles:
Professionalism over bravado.
Discipline over chaos.
Loyalty to mission, crew, and code.
We are not mercenaries chasing fame—we are operators upholding order through action. When the UEE needs capable hands without political baggage, when civilians need protection without compromise, when a threat must be neutralized without spectacle—that’s when Black Meridian is called in.
