Twelve Blades International [TWELVE12B] - Organizations

History

History of Twelve Blades International

Twelve Blades International (TBI) was founded in the turbulent aftermath of the Messer era, a time when the stars offered both opportunity and danger. The UEE’s efforts to stabilize the Empire left gaps in infrastructure, security, and exploration, especially in the fringes of settled space. A small band of freelancers, each skilled in different fields and united by a desire for independence, recognized the need for a unified organization to fill these gaps—and so, TBI was born.

Starting with a few outdated ships and a modest base on a backwater moon, TBI’s early days were marked by challenging contracts and fierce competition. The Industrial Division focused on resource gathering and trade, building capital through the dangerous salvage fields of Pyro and untapped resources around Stanton’s asteroid belts. Meanwhile, the Security Division gained a reputation by defending settlements and trade routes from Vanduul raids and outlaw incursions. Every mission completed, every challenge overcome, laid the foundation for TBI’s growing influence.

As word spread of TBI’s reliable and multi-faceted operations, more skilled operatives and specialists joined. This growth brought the formation of the Privateer Division, handling high-risk, off-the-record jobs in the shadows of Stanton’s stations, while the Science & Exploration Division began charting new, dangerous jump points and unclaimed territories in Nyx and beyond. TBI also established its Citizens Division to build a thriving community for new players and veterans alike, fostering camaraderie and onboarding members with care and dedication.

TBI’s presence expanded quickly, earning a reputation as a dependable ally to the UEE and a respected competitor to other organizations. However, it is still a young entity, building toward ambitious goals to become a dominant force in the Verse. With a resilient community, loyal members, and a clear path forward, Twelve Blades International is poised to create a legacy written across the stars—one contract, one division, one blade at a time.

The Future of TBI

As Twelve Blades International continues to expand, it faces both opportunities and challenges across uncharted space. TBI’s leaders work tirelessly to strengthen each division, investing in advanced technologies, expanding fleets, and securing vital alliances. Though still on the rise, TBI’s vision remains unwavering: to be the go-to organization in the Verse, offering unparalleled expertise, camaraderie, and strength to all who carry the Twelve Blades banner.
