“Order when it’s paid for. Chaos when it’s earned.”
The Bare Minimum Bandits operate in the space between law and lawless — a security and outlaw unit forged from grit, discipline, and survival.
History
It started with a broken contract.
A handful of freelance security pilots, left stranded on the edge of Pyro after a corporate deal went bad, decided they’d had enough of taking orders from people who never bled for them. Their ships were scorched, their accounts empty, and their trust burned — but they were still breathing. That was enough.
What came next wasn’t planned. It was survival. They hit back — first at the client who sold them out, then at anyone who thought they could do the same. Word spread fast: a small crew with military precision and outlaw instincts, taking jobs that no one else would touch and living by one rule — get it done, no matter what it takes.
As the credits flowed, so did the recruits. Mercenaries, smugglers, and ex-soldiers — all cut from the same rough cloth — joined under a single name whispered in back channels and comms: Bare Minimum Bandits.
Now, the Bandits operate across the outer systems, offering “security” where the UEE can’t reach and enforcing order when someone’s willing to pay for it. Their reputation is simple: efficient, ruthless, and loyal only to the mission.
They don’t fight for ideals or banners — they fight to survive, to profit, and to remind the ‘verse that even the smallest crew can leave a big mark when they’ve got nothing left to lose.
Manifesto
“Order when it’s paid for. Chaos when it’s earned.”
We are not saviors. We are not soldiers of fortune chasing fame or flags.
We are the ones who get it done — when the credits are real, when the job is dirty, and when the rest turn tail.
The Bare Minimum Bandits were born from betrayal and built on grit. We’ve bled in the dark corners of the ‘verse where contracts die, where laws don’t reach, and where honor means keeping your word — not polishing your badge.
We live by a code forged in wreckage and fire:
Do the job. No excuses, no delays.
Watch each other’s backs. Your crew is your lifeline.
Take what’s owed. No one else will hand it to you.
Leave nothing behind but results.
Order is earned through action, not talk. Loyalty is paid in respect, not ranks.
We fight when we must, protect when we’re paid, and burn everything that tries to cage us.
The galaxy doesn’t care if you live or die — so we make it care.
One mission. One mark. One Bandit at a time.
Bare Minimum Bandits — the line between order and chaos.
Charter
“Order when it’s paid for. Chaos when it’s earned.”
Article I – Purpose
The Bare Minimum Bandits exist to provide precision security, tactical support, and outlaw operations across the ‘verse.
We are professionals of controlled chaos — offering order when contracted and unleashing destruction when provoked. Our purpose is simple: survive, profit, and leave our mark on every system that tries to forget us.
Article II – Code of Conduct
Every Bandit stands by three principles:
Do the Job.
Complete every contract to the letter. Excuses don’t pay. Results do.
Back Your Crew.
Your squad is your lifeline. Loyalty is not optional — it’s survival.
Take What’s Owed.
We don’t steal without reason, and we don’t leave empty-handed. Payment comes one way or another.
Respect the Bandit Name.
What we build together stays solid — no betrayal, no unnecessary drama, no half-measures.
Article III – Structure
The Bandits operate under a flex command structure, built for autonomy and efficiency:
Command Lead: Oversees strategy, contracts, and diplomacy.
Field Officers: Direct tactical operations and recruit new members.
Specialists: Pilots, gunners, engineers, haulers, and infiltrators — the core of the crew.
Recruits: Trial members proving they’ve got the grit to stay.
Promotion comes through action, not words. Titles mean nothing without proof.
Article IV – Operations
The Bandits take on missions that span both security and outlaw sectors: escort work, extractions, convoy defense, raids, recoveries, and high-risk strikes.
We don’t ask if it’s legal — we ask if it’s worth it.
Article V – Loyalty and Survival
The ‘verse doesn’t owe us anything. We survive because we adapt, because we trust our own, and because we never forget who we are.
When everything burns, the Bandits endure — together.
