Pick and Shield was founded in early 2943 by Jason Pixley, an ex-Navy pilot who wanted to apply his combat skills to something more productive than defending the borders of UEE space against the Vanduul. He decided, not out of vengeance but reason, that he’d be best suited to fighting pirates. He gathered a handful of like-minded people, and thus, Pick and Shield was born.
Mission Statement: To protect the property and lives of those making an honest living in the less tasteful parts of the galaxy by actively opposing piracy and providing escort services at just above cost.
Pick and Shield is a barely-for-profit paramilitary organization that fights belligerence against innocents and their property. Our mining operation’s sole purpose is to fund our charitable efforts. All we want is for the galaxy to be a better place. As such, our targets are almost always pirates, and we often accept bounties against them. Though we are happy to have allies, we do not ally ourselves with groups that have direct ties to piracy. We try to avoid conflicts of interest.
Pick and Shield operates primarily in otherwise lawless space. We go about business in four ways:
Though it is most certainly our MO to combat piracy, we have no intention of policing the areas in which we operate. We’re not bringers of law; we’re guardians. We have no quarrel with drug runners and other such occupations looked down upon within UEE space.
Also, though a few members of Pick and Shield run the Spectrum radio show Comm Chatter, it is not in any official way associated with this Organization. That is something done on the side.
