“We secure the assets. We hunt the liabilities. We collect the margin.”
History
The Eclipse Logistics Corporation didn’t rise from a street gang or a simple boardroom. It was born out of the ashes of a disgraced UEE Navy logistics and black-ops wing—the 7th Tactical Fleet Security Element—which was quietly decommissioned following a classified political betrayal in the Barrow System.
Refusing to be cast aside by UEE bureaucracy, the unit’s commanding officers, led by Fleet Commander Vesper Vance, chose to privatize. They stripped the UEE markings from their military-grade logistics ships and gunships, disappeared into the lawless fringes of the Pyro System, and incorporated.
They realized that the line between “security” and “piracy” was entirely a matter of who was paying. They established a dual-layered business model: operating openly in Stanton as a premium, heavily armed corporate transport and mercenary asset, while secretly running a brutal shadow-network in Pyro, Nyx, and deep space. Over the years, ELC grew into an elite powerhouse capable of protecting a trillion-credit cargo haul on Tuesday, and completely liquidating a rival corporate convoy on Thursday.
Manifesto
The Eclipse Logistics Corporation operates on a cold, absolute philosophy: The ‘Verse is an economy of force. Morality is an artificial cost; efficiency is the only true metric. We reject the naive constraints of the UEE Advocacy and the chaotic self-destruction of mindless pirate gangs. We are corporate professionals.
Logistics Protocol (Hauling): We command the high-risk trade lanes. When hired to transport cargo, our line is unbreachable. We utilize armored, heavily escorted convoys to guarantee delivery through warzones, blockades, and solar storms.
Asset Relocation (Piracy): If a corporate entity or rival faction fails to sufficiently protect their inventory in unmonitored space, they have defaulted on their right to own it. We execute zero-footprint, tactical interdictions to claim those assets for our own ledger.
Kinetic Enforcement (Mercenary): Our guns are for hire to the highest bidder—whether that means defending an industrial outpost, breaking a planetary blockade, or serving as a private army in a corporate proxy war.
Variable Liquidation (Bounty Hunting): Human targets are simply high-yield assets waiting to be collected. We hunt down criminals, corporate defectors, and internal liabilities with terrifying, relentless precision.
Interstellar Charter
Article I: The Corporate Chain
Section 1 (The Directive): The Corporation operates as a single cohesive unit. Internal conflict, insubordination, or the unauthorized side-trading of ELC operational intelligence is classified as corporate espionage, punishable by immediate contract termination and fleet-wide execution.
Section 2 (The Omerta): Employees shall never disclose the coordinates of ELC deep-space safehouses, black-market liquidation routes, or active acquisition ops to any UEE authority or rival organization.
Article II: Rules of Engagement (ROE)
Section 1 (The Capture): During piracy operations, the primary goal is the extraction of high-value cargo, not senseless slaughter. Targets that surrender their manifests immediately are disabled and left alive. Targets that resist are eliminated with terminal efficiency.
Section 2 (The Contract): A mercenary or bounty contract accepted by the Corporation is absolute. We do not accept counter-bribes, and we do not break a contract once the retainer is logged. Our reputation for terrifying reliability is our greatest weapon.
Article III: The Ledger (Economy)
To sustain a high-tier fleet, ELC enforces a strict 70/30 Corporate-Operative Split:
30% Corporate Tax: Contributed to the ELC Treasury to fund Capital Ship maintenance (Kraken/Idris operations), specialized ammunition (torpedoes/EMP tech), heavy fuel, and a Corporate Insurance Fund that heavily subsidizes ship replacement costs for employees lost in the line of duty.
70% Direct Payout: Divided equally among the active flight crew, boarding teams, and scouts present during the operation.
