SENTRE INDUSTRIES / SENTRE

Foundation in Chaos (2947)

SENTRE Industries was founded in 2947, in the chaotic aftermath of the Keller’s Run incident and a period of escalating tensions between legitimate corporations and outlaw groups in Stanton.

Its founder, Cassian Reza, a former logistics executive at a now-defunct ArcCorp subsidiary, saw opportunity in the system’s growing instability. Traditional supply chains were breaking down. Convoys were under constant threat. Government intervention was minimal and often incompetent.

Cassian gathered a cadre of ex-corporate haulers, freelance pilots, and mercenary fixers. Their goal was simple: provide logistics, recovery, and protection services without moral or legal entanglements.
SENTRE Industries was officially registered on ArcCorp as a “Specialized Asset Management and Recovery Corporation” — a bland description hiding a very sharp set of services.

Early Growth: GrimHEX Deals (2948-2949)

In 2948, SENTRE began discreet operations out of GrimHEX and other unofficial ports. While publicly maintaining a clean front through contracts with small corporations and independent mining operations, they privately took on more sensitive work:

• Moving unauthorized cargo through Hurston’s blockades.
• Extracting valuable wrecks from claim-jumped salvage fields.
• Providing “escort” services that sometimes turned into full mercenary engagements.

During this time, SENTRE earned a reputation among both outlaws and legitimate businesses: professional, ruthless, and discreet.

The key to their success was simple: SENTRE kept its word, for as long as you kept paying.

The Stanton Relay Crisis (2950)

The turning point came during the Stanton Relay Crisis of 2950—a series of coordinated attacks by Nine Tails on comms relays across the system.

When traditional corporate security forces hesitated, SENTRE was one of the first private groups to offer protection and rapid response—for a price.
They defended critical relays near Daymar and ArcCorp, boosting their public image, while simultaneously selling comms data access on the black market.

This dual strategy cemented SENTRE’s brand:

• To corporations, they were heroic contractors stepping in when others failed.
• To underworld clients, they were pragmatic partners who never judged their business.

Expansion and Diversification (2951-2954)

Flush with profits, SENTRE expanded into new markets:

• SENTRE Logistics: High-risk freight, including “off-books” contracts.
• SENTRE Industrial: Rapid salvage and discreet resource extraction on moons like Lyria and Wala.
• SENTRE Security: Specialized convoy escorts, facility protection, and “containment operations” against minor insurgencies.
• SENTRE Black: An unpublicized division focusing on cyberespionage, sabotage, and discreet retrieval of sensitive assets.

They also established a secret operational hub — Holdfast Station, hidden among Stanton’s asteroid belts — giving them a base of operations away from prying eyes.

By 2954, SENTRE had contracts or informal arrangements with:

• Independent haulers
• Small mining corps
• Black market syndicates
• And even off-the-books government actors.

Current Status (2955)

As of 2955, SENTRE Industries is a rising power in Stanton — too small to be a threat to megacorps, but too useful to be ignored.

They walk a careful tightrope:

• Partnering with security forces one week, running guns to outlaw colonies the next.
• Delivering humanitarian supplies while smuggling restricted tech in the same shipments.
• SENTRE’s motto, “Opportunity is our only master,” has never been more true.

They remain neutral, pragmatic, and dangerously efficient—quietly reshaping Stanton’s shadow economy one contract at a time.
