History

History of the Space Cowboys

The Space Cowboys started where most great stories do—at the edge of chaos…..and this universe. Back when the Stanton system was teetering between opportunity and lawlessness, a group of independent bounty hunters realized they could accomplish more together than apart. It wasn’t about forming just another org with flashy promises and empty slogans. It was about creating a crew that worked like a well-oiled machine—where loyalty ran deep, skills sharpened each other, and every member could count on the rest.

The Ranch, as it came to be known, wasn’t built overnight. Its founders earned their reputation the hard way: taking the jobs no one else would touch, outsmarting bigger crews, and keeping their word in a business where trust is rare. Over time, word spread. Pilots and mercenaries with talent and grit started showing up, not to play politics or chase clout, but to be part of something real.

The Space Cowboys didn’t grow by recruiting en masse—they grew by reputation. Every contract completed cleanly, every target brought in, and every crew member who got home in one piece added to their legacy. The org developed a creed: better the herd, move in peace, and only strike when provoked. It wasn’t just words; it was the backbone of their success.

From their humble beginnings running bounties and small merc ops, the Space Cowboys expanded their operations. Salvage runs, high-risk escorts, tactical extractions—they proved they could handle any challenge while maintaining their tight-knit, no-drama culture. The Ranch became more than a metaphor; it was a community where everyone had a role, and every role mattered.

Today, the Space Cowboys remain a force in the ‘verse, respected for their skill, professionalism, and unshakable unity. They ride the stars with a purpose, carving out their own destiny while staying true to their roots.

For the Space Cowboys, it’s not just about the next contract—it’s about the legacy they’re building together. This is the way of the Ranch.

Manifesto

Space Cowboys Manifesto: Forge Your Legacy in the Stars

The void doesn’t care who you are—but we do. We’re the Space Cowboys, a tight-knit crew of bounty hunters and mercenaries who know that survival isn’t just about skill; it’s about the people watching your six. Out here, lone wolves burn out fast, but together, we carve our names into the galaxy.

We’re not here for glory or empty bravado. We’re here for the craft, the creds, and the connection. When you ride with the Space Cowboys, you’re rolling with people who’ve got your back, no matter what.

Our Principles

Crew First
We’re only as strong as the trust we have in each other. Every member of the Space Cowboys matters. We leave no one behind, and we don’t waste energy on drama. If you’re in, you’re family.

Skill + Respect
Out here, we’re all sharpening each other’s edges. Share what you know, learn what you don’t. There’s no room for arrogance or ego—we’re building each other up, not tearing each other down.

Do the Job, Get Paid
We don’t overcomplicate. The mission is the mission: track the target, secure the package, complete the contract. No excuses, no unnecessary risks—just professional execution.

No Room for Toxicity
The ‘verse is brutal enough without bringing toxicity into the mix. Space Cowboys don’t waste time on petty rivalries or pointless arguments. If you thrive on tearing people down, this isn’t your crew.

Forge Your Legacy
We don’t need fame, but we do leave an impression. The Space Cowboys are more than a banner—it’s a reputation. Every job we take reflects on all of us, and we work like it matters because it does.

What We’re Building

We’re not just another org. The Space Cowboys are about creating something that lasts. Whether it’s a small op or a massive contract, we operate with the mindset that every success strengthens the crew. Collaboration isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of everything we do.

We want people who don’t just want to take contracts—they want to be part of something bigger. People who value loyalty, precision, and a code that means something.

Why Join Us?

The Crew: A non-toxic, highly skilled team that always has your back. No infighting, no nonsense—just solid people working together.

The Mission: Whether it’s solo bounty runs or team-based merc work, we get the job done and make sure everyone gets their due.

The Legacy: You’re not just another name on a roster. You’re part of a group that stands out in the ‘verse.

We’re not looking for just anyone. If you want to be a part of something real—something that values loyalty, skill, and a clear-cut code of honor—then saddle up.

We’re the Space Cowboys. Ride with us, and forge your legacy in the stars.
