History
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Let Rome in Tiber melt and the wide arch
of the ranged empire fall! Here is my space.
Kingdoms are clay; our dungy earth alike
feeds beast as man. The nobleness of life
is to do thus; when such a mutual pair
and such a twain can do 't, in which I bind,
on pain of punishment, the world to weet.
We stand up peerless."
-Shakespeare, on the Byzantine Empire.

Legatus de Imperii
** For once, the longest living, and one of the biggest empires to ever write it’s history on mankind’s book, the Byzantines stood strong. Stronger than the Romans.
As all great empires fell once, the Bellator Band (Which would be later known as Byzantium Band) meet it’s demise on 2606, during the second Tevarin war. Althought the mercs had been surviving since their creation in 2529, the on-going contracts with the UEE quickly drained all the manpower the Bellators had, and forced them to contract men as reinforcements, leading to a bankrupt in 2530, on the Tevarin Annexation Process. With no men, and bankrupt, there were no other options for Captain Konstantin and his Strategos Doukas, but to disband the Bellators, in May of 2606.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Sellswords, Freelancers, you name it.
** Not only in war, but the Bellators were one of the best paid mercenaries on Terra, and sprawled to Earth as sellswords, do-it-all’s, cargo runners. Gold and blood flowed through their veins, but the fall of the Bellator Band were no excuse to stop the flow. The mercenaries that survived took on normal lifes of merchants, bodyguards, and some joined UEE. Konstantin took his last breath by 2610, by the age of 97 (It was a lot back then.), and his son kept working as a freelancer, as did his sons, grandsons, and so on. The Palaiologo dinasty was well-known for it’s great aptitute with money. The ability to drive a ship into war however, only came back when Andronikos III had to take on one to fight the Vanduuls as a contract, and on 2919, and by 2920, he had funded the Byzantine Band.

Futurum est Imperii
** The Organization however, would only be oficially created in 2941, when under the command of Konstantin V it would be formally accepted as a true mercenary and corporative group by the UEE. In the start of 2942, for a mutual benefit companionship, the 66th Space Vikings and Byzantium Cooperative LLC. swore to protect eachother in case of outsider attack, in which full compliance was asked if help was needed. Today, 2942, the Byzantium Cooperative LLC., takes in contracts for freelancing and all types of mercenary work. And the Corporative Divortium works hard and toil to make our dreams of an empire come true.

What is exactly the Byzantium Cooperative LLC.?
The Byzantines are a sellsword company, and a corporate business. Money is our king, but we strive to be different than other organizations.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Our rank structure, and what do we do:
Byzantium is a corporate business, and a mercenary division, and we do our best to keep it that way. We created the Thema system, it’s non-existant in the game, and it’s purpose is only to keep us organized, but everyone is free to do as they wish in the organization. Here’s our current ranks:
-Bellator: The sixth rank in-line.
-Akritoi: The fifth rank in-line.
-Pronoiar: The fourth rank in-line.
-Strategos: The third rank in-line
-Katepanoi: The second rank in-line
-Augustus: The first rank in-line
Each member under the current ranks of Bellator, Akritoi, Pronoiar, Strategos, Katepanoi, and Augustus are placed in a thema, and then those themas will be named accordingly, and assigned to each role in the organization (For an example, if you wish to explore, you’ll be moved to a thema where other explorers will help you). Katepanois and ranks above will also take part in the Palaiologan Guard (The imperial bodyguard) and be requested by any member of Byzantium whenever asked.
The roles also follow the same rule of the ranks:
-The Sakellarios: Former branding manager.
-The Strategos Prætor: Former rank manager.
-The Conquisitor: Former master-recruitor.
-Imperator: The founder of the org.
