Together in the Dark, Stronger in the Light.
We are the Eventide Cooperative—settlers, haulers, medics, explorers, and dreamers. We choose solidarity over solitude, and cooperation over competition.
History
Eventide Cooperative was founded in 2954 by a small group of idealists who had grown disillusioned with the cutthroat economics of Stanton’s core corporations. They gathered in the drifting shadows of Crusader’s atmosphere and its scattered moons, hoping to build something different—a collective where survival and prosperity were shared, not fought over.
Life on the edge of Crusader was never easy. The early Eventide members were haulers, miners, and medics with more hope than resources, scraping out a living amidst corporate monopolies and pirate raids. What bound them together was a vision: that independence did not have to mean isolation, and that mutual aid could be as powerful as any contract penned by a megacorp.
The first official gatherings of Eventide took place in makeshift outposts on Yela, where members pooled supplies and offered one another safe harbor from storms both literal and political. It was during these nights—when the glow of Stanton’s giant gas world filled the sky—that the name Eventide was chosen. For the founders, twilight symbolized resilience: the promise of light even when shadows grew long.
Over the next decade, the Cooperative expanded its reach beyond Yela and Cellin, establishing trusted trade runs and escort wings that made it a quiet but reliable presence in the system. Eventide became known for answering distress beacons others ignored, bringing food and med supplies to outposts off the corporate grid, and ensuring that lone prospectors or settlers had a community to call upon.
Today, though still modest in size compared to Stanton’s sprawling conglomerates, the Eventide Cooperative is recognized as a haven for independent pilots who want more than profit. Its members continue to honor the principles of its founders: solidarity, self-reliance, and the belief that even in the darkest skies, there is always the promise of dawn.
Eventide Cooperative was founded by BeepBoopSpace (“IHateBeingScared” on Twitch) – Eventide frequently plays together on his Twitch streams. If you want to see Eventide Cooperative in action, tune in to the stream on Sundays from 12:00-4:00pm Central!

Manifesto
Founded 2954, Stanton System
We are the *Eventide Cooperative*—settlers, haulers, medics, explorers, and dreamers. We chose solidarity over solitude, and cooperation over competition.
We believe in mutual aid: no distress call ignored, no member left behind.
We believe in honest work: every mined rock, every trade run, every healing hand builds a future worth sharing.
We believe in freedom with responsibility: the right to chart our own course, bound by the duty to protect one another.
Twilight is our symbol: not an ending, but a beginning—*the promise of dawn*.
If you seek only credits, look elsewhere. If you seek* community, trust, and purpose*, you will find a home with us.
We are Eventide.
Together, we endure.
Together, we rise.
