History
History of Stanton Trinity Trading Services (STTS)
Early Origins (Pre-UEE Expansion Era)
Stanton Trinity Trading Services traces its origins to the earliest age of interstellar exploration. Founded as Trinity Expeditionary & Transit, the company began as a modest coalition of independent haulers, survey pilots, and financial backers who pooled resources to support frontier expeditions. Their mission was simple: move people, move cargo, and move progress forward.
Operating during a time when jump routes were poorly mapped and safety was a luxury, Trinity built a reputation for reliability in the face of the unknown. Their three-pillar structure—transport, finance, and protection—emerged naturally from necessity, giving rise to the “Trinity” identity still maintained today.
Corporate Transformation (26th–29th Century)
As humanity expanded, so did Trinity. The organisation evolved from a frontier support group into a full-service corporate provider, incorporating advanced logistics, risk-tolerant financing, and private security services.
Though publicly reputable, internal records and later investigations suggest that even during this era, Trinity occasionally operated in legal “grey zones”—issuing undocumented transport contracts, offering unregulated investment protection, and performing quiet escort missions for clients who preferred anonymity.
Their neutral, client-first policy—any job, any system, as long as no innocents are harmed—became a foundational rule still echoed within STTS today.
Acquisition by Sentinel Capital (2987)
In 2987, the rising influence of megacorporations drew the attention of Sentinel Capital, a powerful investment group known for acquiring undervalued strategic assets across the ‘verse. Seeing potential in Trinity’s infrastructure and corporate flexibility, Sentinel purchased the organisation outright and rebranded it as:
Stanton Trinity Trading Services (STTS)
Sentinel appointed rising executive Anthony Kodak as CEO & Chairman. Under Kodak’s leadership, STTS underwent extensive modernization—fleet expansion, improved financial modelling, widespread contracts with UEE-aligned corporations, and a polished public relations overhaul.
To the public, STTS became a trusted, highly visible conglomerate.
To its private clients, it became something far more valuable:
a deniable instrument of influence, leverage, and quiet power.
The Helios Relay Incident (2998)
One of the few controversies ever publicly linked to STTS—though heavily redacted in UEE records—is the Helios Relay Incident of 2998.
The event involved a failed data-transfer operation near the Helios system, where a privately owned deep-space communication relay suffered a catastrophic systems overload. Official reports blamed “improper maintenance” by the relay’s operators.
Unofficial accounts tell a different story. Whisper networks in political and corporate circles suggest:
STTS vessels were seen in the area hours before the failure
A covert financial protection contract was allegedly in effect
The relay’s destruction coincided with a hostile corporate takeover attempt
Evidence logs were wiped clean in a pattern consistent with professional data extraction teams
Nothing was proven. No charges were filed. Sentinel Capital aggressively dismissed all allegations as “speculative fiction,” and the matter quietly evaporated from headlines after a series of strategic settlements.
Internally, however, the incident is rumored to have marked STTS’s true ascent into the shadow-economy—discreetly enabling the operations of elite clients while maintaining strict deniability.
STTS Today
Under Anthony Kodak’s direction, STTS has evolved into one of the most multifaceted and quietly influential corporations in the Stanton system. Publicly, it is a symbol of stability and efficiency, providing transport, financial services, and security operations trusted across the Empire.
Privately, STTS continues its longstanding tradition of moral pragmatism:
loyal to the client, bound by its code, and indifferent to politics—except when politics pay.
Manifesto
STTS Manifesto
“Three Divisions. One Purpose. A Future Shaped by Capability.”
From the dawn of humanity’s first steps into the stars, our founders understood a simple truth: progress belongs to those who are willing to carry it. Born in the age of frontier exploration, the early Trinity built its identity on resilience, trust, and the unspoken duty to move the Empire forward when others could not. Those principles remain the foundation of Stanton Trinity Trading Services today.
Under the guidance of CEO and Chairman Anthony Kodak, STTS stands as a central pillar of stability within the modern verse. Our operations—transport, finance, and security—form the threefold architecture of capability through which we serve governments, corporations, and citizens alike. To the public, we represent dependable service, clear purpose, and professional commitment. Internally, we understand that influence is not granted; it is earned through consistency, discretion, and the willingness to do what others will not.
Our clients trust us because we ask for nothing but clarity of intent. They rely on us because we deliver results without seeking the spotlight. Whether moving essential cargo across the frontier, safeguarding financial futures, or providing protection in uncertain regions, STTS operates with precision born of generations of experience. In every division, our people uphold a standard that transcends contracts and credits: the belief that responsibility extends beyond regulation, and that loyalty—when given—is absolute.
We welcome those who join us—employees, partners, and recruits—into a lineage that stretches back to the earliest jump points. You step into an organisation that values initiative, discipline, and the courage to act where hesitation risks failure. You join a company that navigates the delicate space between public obligation and private necessity, honoring our legacy while shaping tomorrow’s opportunities.
STTS does not seek conflict, yet we prepare for it. We do not chase influence, yet it follows us. We do not proclaim ideals, yet we hold to a quiet code: protect what must be protected, deliver what must be delivered, and pursue opportunity with clarity and purpose. Those who understand this principle will find limitless potential within our halls.
As we continue to expand across the verse, our mission endures:
to move what others cannot, to safeguard what others value most, and to operate—always—with the discretion that has defined us since our founding.
Stanton Trinity Trading Services stands ready for the next frontier.
And for those who walk with us, the path forward has never been brighter.

Ratified Under CEO & Chairman Anthony Kodak
1. Purpose of the Charter
This Charter defines the internal operational rules, conduct expectations, and strategic doctrines governing all personnel, divisions, contractors, and affiliates of Stanton Trinity Trading Services.

CEO & Chairman Anthony Kodak holds supreme decision-making authority over all divisions.

Evidence trails must be eliminated when discretion is stipulated.

8. Legacy & Expectation
As inheritors of the original Trinity’s values—courage, precision, resilience—STTS personnel are expected to act with the professionalism of a private military organisation and the discretion of a strategic advisory firm. Every action contributes to STTS’s standing, influence, and future.
This charter binds all who operate beneath the Trinity banner.
We serve with discipline, deliver with certainty, and move the verse forward—quietly, decisively, and without hesitation.
