Talon is a corporate militia specializing in secure transport, escort operations, and contracted colonial defense services.
Originally formed from the remnants of the UEE Navy’s 18th “Talon” Pursuit Group, the organization now functions independently—operating on the fringes, far from the spotlight of Imperial politics.
After being framed for the destruction of a diplomatic convoy, the surviving soldiers escaped imprisonment in a high-security asteroid, and vanished into the Fora underground. Reborn as a private military force, Talon continues to do what it was designed to do: protect people moving through dangerous space—no matter the odds.
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire Talon.
Supreme authority. Sets mission, vision, and final say on all red and black ink contracts.
A senior advisory body offering strategic insight, operational guidance, and fleet doctrine review.

2. Will you really pay for my ship and upgrades?
The answer most certainly is Yes!! Once the persistent universe is live we at Talon intend to aid in the equipping and maintenance fees for all our members to a certain standard, the downside to this is we take a higher percentage of your mission rewards than other organisations will, however we will make up for this by paying all of our members a salary as well as providing various other benefits.
3. You mention a paycheck, how does this work?
Put bluntly bureaucracy. The command group takes Talon’s profits for the week and divides it into ‘shares’ each rank is valued at a certain number of shares and each person in the fleet gets paid according to the number of shares that they are worth. Since this gives equal pay to two people regardless of their contribution that week we also have the bonus system. A portion of the profit that was taken by the command group earlier is then divided into bonus shares, these are earned through activity participation, completion of training goals and various competitions that we hold among others. This means that people who actively participate end up with more pay than those who do not.
4. These benefits, I bet there is a whole load of reasons I can’t claim them, how do they work?
Our health and death benefits aren’t all that complex, how this works is that a portion of each week’s income is earmarked for the benefits pile. If you get injured or killed you can, should you wish, obtain a portion of this cash to help defer medical expenses funeral costs, etc. You don’t even need to have been on duty at the time of your injury, though more money is available to those who were injured on duty.
