Minuteman Starlines / MINUTE

//Transmission: A Founding – Minuteman Starlines\\

​

Founded in the standard UEE year 2948 by the now current President Alymere.

Minuteman Group began operations to supply the verse with reliable, secure, and affordable means of transportation, from UEE territories all the way to Banu space, and further. Something many transports refuse to do, due in large part to language barriers and the treacherous travel of jump gates, especially in alien systems. Though travel between these systems would ultimately prove profitable for the historically themed transportation company, it was inevitably doomed to face adversity.

​

With the rise of piracy in adjacent systems, and in between UEE and Banu space, it did not surprise anyone that Minuteman Group would look to it’s defense. To this end, the company would form the beginnings of it’s now famous security force. This security force would be modestly armed and would perform as onboard security guards. However, the company would also supply each Intersolar craft with a fighter escort, though this would prove ineffective.

​

For a time Minuteman Group would experience a period of peace and prosperity in the verse, with their ships being left alone. Yet this would change as both pirates and vanduul would once again begin raiding their ships, it was at this point they had to act. Minuteman Group in response to these conflicts would reorganize their security division into S.A.R.O, otherwise known as Specialty And Reconnaissance Operations. 

​

This would militarize the Minuteman security forces, reforging them akin to their namesake, a force at a minute’s notice. Each security officer would be issued standardized weapons and armor, as well as requisitioned ships for enforcement. The company would also go so far as to procure Corvettes and Capital class ships to enforce their will, as well as establishing a recon sub-component to discover new transport lanes; Minuteman Group would not be caught unprepared again.

​

To this day, Minuteman Group has not only provided safe travel for all aboard their craft, but has also made it a mission to secure the verse from all threats, local and xeno. Shouting their company motto:

​

“Through our roots we find inspiration, through our service we find purpose, through our endeavors we find success”
