History

History of the Event Horizon Armada

The Event Horizon Armada (EHA) is a notorious paramilitary organization operating on the fringes of UEE (United Empire of Earth) space. Renowned for its deadly efficiency and enigmatic leadership, the Armada walks the razor’s edge between lawful private military operations and outright piracy. Here is a detailed account of its origins and rise to infamy in the Star Citizen universe.

Founding and Early Years (2865-2870)

The EHA traces its roots to the chaos following the Vanduul incursions of the mid-29th century. It was founded in 2865 by a disillusioned UEE Navy officer, Commander Tobias Wren, after witnessing the government’s inability to protect frontier colonies. Wren, along with a cadre of loyal veterans, formed the EHA to provide protection to these vulnerable settlements.
Initially, the Armada operated as a legitimate private military company (PMC), recruiting skilled pilots, engineers, and tacticians. Their motto, “Beyond the Horizon, Strength Prevails,” reflected their mission to extend security to the lawless reaches of the galaxy.

The Decimus Incident (2870)

The turning point for the EHA came in 2870 during the Decimus Incident, where they were hired to protect a mining colony from pirate attacks. After a heated standoff, Wren ordered a controversial preemptive strike on a suspected pirate hideout. While the operation succeeded, collateral damage included the destruction of a civilian outpost. Public outcry and legal challenges led to Wren being branded a rogue by the UEE, forcing the organization to go underground.

Rise as a Paramilitary Power (2875-2900)

As an outlaw entity, the EHA embraced its new identity. Recruiting mercenaries, smugglers, and disenfranchised frontier citizens, the Armada evolved into a self-sustaining paramilitary force. Their fleet grew, incorporating salvaged ships, state-of-the-art stolen tech, and captured Vanduul weaponry. During this period, the EHA gained a reputation for its bold tactics and shadowy operations: Smuggling Routes: They established covert trade networks, funneling contraband and rare resources between fringe systems. Vanduul Ambushes: The Armada specialized in hit-and-run attacks on Vanduul raiding parties, earning them grudging respect from frontier settlers. Black-Ops Contracts: Wealthy corporations and desperate planetary governments secretly hired them for high-risk operations deemed too controversial for the UEE.

The Eclipse Protocol (2901-2920)

In 2901, a mysterious figure known only as “The Harbinger” assumed leadership of the Armada. Under their guidance, the EHA unveiled the Eclipse Protocol, a doctrine emphasizing asymmetrical warfare, stealth operations, and cutting-edge cyberwarfare.
Notable operations during this era include:
The Siege of Nyx: In 2907, the EHA staged a blockade of a major jump point in the Nyx system, holding it hostage for three weeks to force the release of political prisoners.
Operation Phantom Wraith: A 2915 strike on a heavily fortified pirate armada in Cathcart. Using advanced cloaking technology, the EHA dismantled the pirate fleet, cementing their dominance in the region.

Modern Day (2940-Present)

Today, the Event Horizon Armada operates as a shadowy power in the Stanton and Pyro systems. While they claim to fight for frontier justice, their actions suggest a blend of profit-driven motives and ideological fervor. Rumors persist of ties to underground advocacy groups, Vanduul tech dealers, and even rogue elements within the UEE.
Key elements of their modern operations include:
Fleet Composition: The EHA fields a mix of high-performance military vessels and retrofitted civilian ships, often augmented with experimental tech.
Recruitment: They attract skilled individuals with promises of wealth, camaraderie, and the chance to live free from UEE oversight.
Philosophy: The Armada portrays itself as a bastion of liberty in a universe dominated by corrupt megacorporations and an inept government.

Organizational Structure

Fleet Commander: The enigmatic “Harbinger” remains a figure of myth and mystery, rarely appearing in public but dictating strategy through a network of trusted lieutenants.
Fleet Divisions: The Armada is divided into autonomous fleets, each led by a Commander, responsible for maintaining discipline and executing operations.

Special Units:

Voidwalkers: Elite pilots and scouts adept at stealth and hit-and-run tactics.
Morozov Battalion: Ground combat units specializing in planetary incursions, base defense, and boarding operations.
Nexus Logistics Corps: Logistics personal, Engineers, Miners/Salvagers and tech specialists focused on resource gathering, ship maintenance logistics and engineering technology.
Shadow Vortex: Intelligence and cyberwarfare experts tasked with reconnaissance, sabotage, and securing critical data.

Legacy and Outlook

The Event Horizon Armada is a symbol of the chaos and opportunity that define life on the frontier. To some, they are freedom fighters challenging an oppressive regime. To others, they are little more than ruthless opportunists cloaked in idealism. What remains undeniable is their influence, as the EHA continues to shape the fate of the galaxy from the shadows, always seeking the next horizon.

“To the stars and beyond the horizon—there lies our destiny.”

Manifesto

Event Horizon Armada Manifesto

Preamble

We are the Event Horizon Armada. We are not bound by the crumbling bureaucracy of the United Empire of Earth, nor shackled by the laws of petty megacorporations. We are forged in the crucible of chaos, where survival is won through strength, cunning, and unity.
The galaxy is a vast, untamed frontier, and at its edges lie the forgotten, the oppressed, and the abandoned. It is here, in the void, that we stand as a bastion of power and defiance. We are not mercenaries, nor are we pirates—we are something more. We are the architects of a new order, one where sovereignty belongs to those bold enough to claim it.

Core Principles

Strength Above All

The void does not forgive weakness. In the Event Horizon Armada, we rise together, bound by the principle that strength—of body, mind, and will—secures survival. Through strength, we protect our own and crush those who threaten our freedom.

Sovereignty Beyond the Fringe The UEE abandoned the frontier, leaving its citizens to fend for themselves. We reject their hollow authority. We forge our own laws in the void, guided by justice untainted by corruption. We answer to no one but ourselves.

Unity in Purpose

The Armada is a family. We come from diverse origins—disillusioned Navy officers, frontier colonists, runaway miners, and opportunists alike—but we stand united under a singular banner. Betrayal is met with swift retribution, loyalty with enduring rewards.

Innovation and Adaptation The galaxy is ever-changing, and only those who evolve will endure. We embrace technological ingenuity, from reverse-engineered alien tech to experimental weapons, using every tool to outwit and outgun our adversaries.

Liberty Through Force Freedom is not given; it is seized. The Armada exists to carve a path for those who refuse to kneel to corporate greed or imperial oppression. Through calculated violence, we reclaim what has been stolen from the many and take what we need to thrive.

Mission Statement

We are the guardians of the forgotten and the enforcers of the inevitable. Where the UEE falters, we step in. Where pirates sow chaos, we bring precision. Where corporations exploit, we take back control.
Our mission is threefold:
To protect the disenfranchised frontier systems.
To challenge the stagnation of the UEE and its proxies.
To build a fleet and society that thrives beyond the reach of tyranny.

Code of Conduct

Respect the Chain of Command: Discipline keeps us alive. Orders are not questioned in battle.
Loyalty is Non-Negotiable: Betrayal of the Armada is betrayal of family.
Honor the Contract: When we take on a mission, we see it through—whether it’s for profit, vengeance, or principle.
No Cowards Among Us: Fear has no place here. Stand and fight, or be cast into the void.
We Do Not Prey on the Weak: While we take what is necessary, we do not target those who cannot defend themselves unless provoked.

Vision for the Future

The Event Horizon Armada is not just a paramilitary force—it is a movement. A new dawn is rising on the horizon, and we are the vanguard. We will outlast empires, outgun the predators of the void, and carve a home in the stars for those who dare to dream.
Together, we will reshape the galaxy. One jump point at a time.

*“To the stars and beyond the horizon—there lies our destiny.”
