SM / SMGROUP

### The SM Group Manifesto
Unyielding Power. Relentless Profit. Unmatched Exploration.

—-

We, the SM Group, are the undisputed force driving the future of the galaxy. Born in the industrial heart of Loreville, our ambitions were forged in the crucible of a world built on raw power and unwavering determination. We are the architects of galactic commerce, the masters of trade, and the pioneers of untapped frontiers.

Our mission is crystal clear: We will dominate the stars through unparalleled profit and fearless exploration, expanding our empire with single-minded resolve.

### 1. Relentless Pursuit of Profit

Profit is everything. It fuels our drive, powers our expansion, and secures our place as the supreme economic force in the galaxy. At SM Group, we do not simply aim for success—we seize it with ruthless precision. Every transaction, every deal, every venture is a stepping stone to greater wealth. Our vast network of trade routes, space stations, and mining operations is a carefully constructed empire, designed to extract value from every corner of the universe.

We are strategic, we are efficient, and we are relentless. Whether it’s exploiting the mineral-rich moons of Stanton, establishing profitable operations in distant systems, or building the most efficient transport infrastructure in existence, we are always thinking of the next move. No opportunity is too small, no market too distant. Profit is the lifeblood of the SM Group, and we are its greatest champions.

We have no fear of competition—**we are the competition**. We will crush inefficiency and drive our rivals into the dust with our superior logistics, unrivaled market intelligence, and aggressive expansion tactics. Profit will always be the measure of our success, and we will stop at nothing to ensure it flows freely through our veins.

### 2. Fearless Exploration

While others fear the unknown, we embrace it with open arms. The stars are ours to claim, and no frontier is too distant or dangerous for us to conquer. Exploration is not a mere ambition for us—it is a relentless obsession. We are the trailblazers, the first to chart new systems, the first to mine untapped resources, the first to establish our dominance where others hesitate.

The galaxy is a vast, untamed wilderness of opportunity, and we will stake our claim across every star, every planet, every moon. Our exploration fleets push farther and farther, mapping unknown systems, uncovering hidden resources, and establishing trade routes where no one has dared to venture. No system is too remote. No anomaly is too enigmatic. We do not shy away from the challenges the galaxy presents—we thrive on them.

Where others see risks, we see boundless rewards. We are the first to set foot on new worlds, the first to exploit their riches, and the first to integrate them into our economic empire. Fear is for the weak. We operate without hesitation, securing new markets and resources faster than any competitor.

### 3. Unmatched Innovation

The galaxy will not wait for us to catch up. At SM Group, we lead the way through innovation. We are not just building infrastructure; we are creating the very systems that will shape the future of galactic commerce. From cutting-edge transport technologies to hyper-efficient resource extraction, we are continuously pushing the envelope to ensure that our operations are always ahead of the curve.

Efficiency is our weapon. Speed is our advantage. We invest in the best, the brightest, and the boldest technologies that give us a distinct edge over our competitors. Our proprietary systems—**SM Quantum Gateways**, HyperFleet transporters, and AI-driven logistics**—are designed to ensure that we can move goods faster, cheaper, and more efficiently than anyone else in the galaxy. We do not wait for the future to arrive; we **create it.

Our commitment to technological superiority drives every aspect of our operation. The next big thing is already in development, and we will use it to expand our reach and ensure our dominance. From automating entire mining operations to revolutionizing space travel, we will outpace, outlast, and outperform anyone who dares challenge us.

### 4. Unyielding Expansion

We will expand relentlessly**—no system, no planet, no resource will escape our grasp. We are not here to settle for what is easy. We are here to **expand at all costs, seizing new territories, new colonies, and new trade routes to ensure that we are the undisputed power across the stars.

From our home in Loreville, we have already established a presence in the farthest reaches of the Stanton system and beyond. But we won’t stop there. The Oort Expanse, the Pyro system, and the Vanduul frontier are all ripe for the taking. Our corporate ships will sail through unexplored space, leaving our mark on every system we touch. We are not waiting for opportunity—we are creating it. Every inch of the galaxy will eventually be within our reach.

### 5. The SM Group—An Empire of Trust and Power

The foundation of our empire is built not just on resources or technology, but on the trust we build with our partners and allies. The galaxy is vast, but the SM Group moves as one, connected through a network of partnerships, collaborations, and trade agreements that are forged with one thing in mind—**shared prosperity**.

But make no mistake—**loyalty to the SM Group is non-negotiable**. We are not afraid to dominate, we are not afraid to lead, and we are not afraid to shape the future according to our vision. Partners are valuable—until they are no longer useful. We invest in relationships, but always with a view to maximizing our power, and those who cross us will learn the price of failure.

### 6. Legacy of Unstoppable Power

The SM Group is not here to play small. We are here to leave a mark that will echo across the stars for centuries to come. From Loreville to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, we will be remembered as the unassailable titan of trade and exploration.

We will never stop. Our vision is infinite, our determination unbreakable. Every move we make, every empire we build, every resource we extract, every market we dominate is a step toward an unyielding future. We will continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible, and we will lead this galaxy into a future where the SM Group stands as the undisputed ruler of the stars.

The stars are ours to take. The galaxy is our empire.
The SM Group: Relentless. Unstoppable. Unparalleled.
Profit. Exploration. Innovation.
These are the forces that drive us. The future is ours for the taking, and nothing will stand in our way.
