Ming [CEHM] - Organizations - Roberts Space Industries

History

In the shadows of the UEE’s bustling systems, where trade lanes blur and borders fade, the name Ming is spoken with both respect and caution.

Founded in 2945, Ming began as a small, tightly-knit syndicate of independent pilots and traders from the fringe systems of Pyro and Nyx. Disillusioned by the corruption of mega-corps and the chaos of pirate factions, these early members believed in a new code—honor among the shadows. Under the leadership of a cunning and visionary figure known only as “The Jade Regent”, Ming grew from a back-alley smuggling ring into a powerful organization with influence in both legitimate and underground circles.

Ming’s operations span across the Stanton, Pyro, and Nyx systems, ranging from high-value cargo transport and information brokering to military-grade escort services and strategic asset recovery. Whether it’s securing rare Xi’an tech or negotiating ceasefires between outlaw groups, Ming does what others can’t—or won’t.

Despite operating in the grey, Ming enforces a strict internal code: Discipline. Loyalty. Precision. Betrayal is met with silence… and disappearance.

Ming isn’t just a name. It’s a presence. A banner flown by those who seek more than chaos or credits—they seek power with purpose.

Manifesto

“Honor Among Shadows”
We are Ming.
We do not kneel to kings. We do not beg from corps.
We carve our own path across the stars—with precision, with discipline, with unity.

Born in the chaos of forgotten systems, Ming is not just an organization.
We are a code. A culture. A movement.

We are the ones who move unseen, speak only when needed, and act when others falter.
We deal in shadow, but we do not cower in it.
We trade, we fight, we reclaim—always with purpose, never without cause.

Where empires grow corrupt and syndicates rot from greed, we endure.
Because we are bound not by credits, but by honor.
Not by rank, but by loyalty.

We protect our own.
We strike only when the moment is right.
And when we strike, we do not miss.

To fly under the banner of Ming is to choose legacy over luck.
To uphold the code when no one is watching.
To remember: the shadows are ours—not to hide in, but to rule from.
