History
The origins of Valera are shrouded in whispers and conflicting accounts, as befitting a Syndicate that thrives in the void where clarity and truth fade. Some say it began as a loose coalition of renegade traders and pirates, desperate souls who banded together to survive the unforgiving black. Others insist Valera was conceived as a deliberate act of rebellion, a counterbalance to the oppressive grasp of Stanton’s megacorporations and the hollow morality of the UEE. The truth, as always, lies somewhere in the shadows.
In its infancy, Valera was not a name but a murmur—an unspoken pact shared among outcasts, explorers, and opportunists. Its founders, known only by their cryptic titles, envisioned a haven for those disillusioned by the rigid dichotomies of lawful and unlawful. To survive, Valera carved its name into the underbelly of Stanton’s most vital trade routes, operating in secrecy to smuggle goods, scout uncharted routes, and strike deals in the corners of the ‘verse others feared to tread.
Over the decades, Valera evolved from a refuge into a force to be reckoned with. Its reach extended beyond Stanton, weaving an intricate web of loyalists, informants, and clandestine operatives scattered across the systems. Its fleets, both shadowed and formidable, became tools of silent domination, securing resources and undermining rival factions without a single shot fired—or, if necessary, with the deafening roar of well-placed ordnance.
Though its true leaders remain veiled, their vision is clear: Valera exists not to play by the rules of the galaxy, but to rewrite them. Now, its name is spoken with both reverence and fear—a ghostly specter of power, unseen yet omnipresent, commanding influence through cunning and adaptability.

Manifesto
Valera is not bound by the constraints of conventional power or the morality of empires. We are not conquerors seeking glory nor merchants peddling wares for fleeting profit. We are the unseen architects of influence, shaping the ‘verse through calculated precision and unwavering ambition.
Our mission is simple yet profound: to thrive in the spaces others overlook. Whether through piracy, exploration, smuggling, or trade, we find opportunity where others see chaos. Valera’s strength lies in its versatility—its ability to adapt and dominate in any situation. From the depths of lawless sectors to the heart of civilized space, we infiltrate, trade, and control.
We do not seek to rule through brute force or empty spectacle. Our power is subtle, like the tides that shape the shore. With each deal struck, each route secured, each rival eliminated, Valera tightens its grasp on the stars. To outsiders, we are whispers and shadows; to our members, we are a brotherhood united by loyalty, precision, and purpose.
To join Valera is to embrace the truth that freedom is won, not given. It is to cast aside the illusions of law and chaos and see the ‘verse as it truly is: a canvas of infinite potential, waiting for those bold enough to seize it. We are more than a Syndicate—we are a movement, a force of nature, a living enigma. And in our wake, the ‘verse bends to our will.
Charter
Valera is a paradox: an organization of shadows that operates with razor-sharp clarity. It is a Syndicate where loyalty reigns supreme, yet individuality is celebrated; where ambition fuels success, yet recklessness is condemned. To be part of Valera is to walk a fine line between freedom and discipline, chaos and order.
The culture of Valera is rooted in three core principles: discretion, adaptability, and precision. Our members, from the lowest Wanderers to the enigmatic Eclipses, understand that power thrives in silence. A Valera operative is not a blunt instrument but a scalpel—cutting swiftly and cleanly, leaving no trace. Whether smuggling contraband, scouting uncharted systems, or dismantling rival factions, every action serves the greater vision of the Syndicate.
We pride ourselves on our adaptability. In Valera, roles are not rigid but fluid, allowing members to explore their potential and contribute where they excel. One day, a Cipher may infiltrate an enemy stronghold; the next, they may oversee the delicate engineering of a fleet-wide upgrade. This fluidity is our strength, enabling us to outmaneuver more rigid factions and exploit every opportunity the ‘verse provides.
Yet for all its mystery, Valera is not a faceless entity. We are a brotherhood forged in shared danger and ambition. Trust is our currency, and betrayal is our only sin. Members rise through the ranks not through empty ambition but by proving their worth—earning the trust of their peers and the respect of their leaders.
To our allies, we are a trusted hand in the dark. To our enemies, we are an unstoppable force cloaked in mystery. And to our members, we are family. In Valera, you are more than a name or a rank—you are part of a legacy that spans the stars. Together, we are the unseen, the architects of fate, the silent rulers of the ‘verse. Together, we are Valera.
