Founded in 2954, Forge & Fleet emerged during a time of economic recovery and industrial growth in the Stanton system. Originally a small group of independent engineers, crafters, and pilots, the collective was born out of the need for collaboration in an ever-expanding universe. With the advent of massive corporate influence in Stanton, the founders sought to carve out a niche for independent operators who valued creativity, craftsmanship, and community over corporate greed.
Inspired by the pioneers of the Messer Era who built thriving, hidden communities in remote systems, Forge & Fleet grew into a collective of artisans, shipbuilders, and explorers. Each member brought their unique skills to the table—whether refining raw materials, customising ships, or designing infrastructure for distant outposts.
Forge symbolized the organization’s dedication to creation—whether constructing new vessels or fabricating custom components. Meanwhile, Fleet represented their unyielding spirit of exploration, ensuring the ships they built weren’t just for sale but for venturing into the unknown.
By 2955, Forge & Fleet expanded its operations into multiple systems, earning a reputation for being both reliable and welcoming. Their inclusive ethos attracted individuals from all walks of life: traders, miners, engineers, and even freelance security teams. The group’s community-first mentality and respect for craftsmanship made them a respected name among smaller frontier settlements, while also earning contracts from larger corporations that valued their expertise.
Today, Forge & Fleet remains a beacon for those seeking to craft their own path in the universe, offering a space where ingenuity and friendship thrive amid the stars.
At Forge & Fleet, our purpose is clear: to build, explore, and thrive together.
