The unseen, the unstoppable. When the credits are high and the risks even higher, we’re the ones they call. Bound to no law, known by no name, we’re the Zero Division of ZP-0. Legends in the making. We’re the ones they whisper about but never see—ghosts in the Zone.
The Origins of ZP-0:
ZP-0, known only in whispers as the Zero Protocol, is a clandestine syndicate deeply woven into the shadowed alleys of UEE-controlled space and the dangerous depths beyond. Formed long before it became a syndicate, ZP-0 started as an elite counterintelligence faction within the United Empire of Earth (UEE), a highly classified “black cell” designed to handle sensitive operations the government could never publicly admit to.
During the early Messer Era, the UEE commissioned covert agents to track down dangerous smugglers, target political threats, and silence rising insurgent movements—missions buried in secrecy and untraceable to the UEE itself. These agents, trained to be shadows in the dark, formed the heart of ZP-0. They answered to no official UEE records, and most citizens never even suspected their existence.
The “Severance” Incident:
In 2792, following the fall of the Messers and the opening of political reforms, many of the classified projects were shuttered, erased from records, or left to fade into obscurity. ZP-0, however, did not disappear so easily. During the Severance Incident—a disastrous internal purge meant to eliminate all traces of past covert agencies—ZP-0 agents chose to go rogue rather than face elimination.
Operating without the UEE’s support, these agents took their skills and resources underground, forming the Zero Protocol. The organization quickly adapted to the lucrative galaxy-wide markets of smuggling and bounty hunting, using their elite training to bypass planetary defenses, forge identities, and evade detection.
The Syndicate Emerges:
Over decades, ZP-0 grew from a small network of ex-operatives into a powerful syndicate of smugglers, bounty hunters, and intelligence brokers. Retaining their dedication to secrecy, ZP-0 established itself as the elite of the underworld—highly selective, operating on a need-to-know basis, and adhering to strict codes of discretion. Members are identified by designations, never names, and outsiders rarely see their faces. Their influence extends from the desolate reaches of the Pyro System to the high-traffic corridors of Stanton, with rumors of their activities in every corner of the Verse.
Current Operations:
Today, ZP-0 operates on the edge of the law and just beyond the UEE’s reach. They specialize in high-risk, high-reward smuggling operations, often handling contraband, black market goods, and information too sensitive for common channels. They are equally feared and respected in bounty hunting circles, known for their surgical precision and ability to track the untraceable.
ZP-0 remains true to its roots: unknown, unseen, unstoppable. For those who wish to find them, a whisper in the right circles might be the only way—but once contacted, ZP-0 leaves no loose ends, either in deals or in enemies.
Here’s a mission statement that establishes Division-0 as an enigmatic, skilled organization in the Star Citizen universe:
Division-0: Intention, Motive, and Vision
In the vast and unforgiving reaches of space, Division-0 exists as a shadow within shadows. We are the operators beyond the edge of law and order, silent and unseen, for whom borders are merely suggestions and secrets are currency. Bound to no government, loyal to no flag, our motives are driven solely by opportunity and precision.
Our intention is simple: maintain dominance in a universe built on complex alliances, fractured factions, and clandestine dealings. From high-risk extractions to transporting goods across hostile sectors, we take on the missions others fear. We navigate gray space to deliver what cannot be traced, and we pursue targets whom none dare track.
For us, the thrill is in the precision, the chase, the silence that follows. We view ourselves as agents of balance—a counterforce in a galaxy driven by extremes. In this galaxy of chaos, Division-0 operates with unyielding discipline and unwavering resolve, committed to the art of mastery in all things covert.
When you seek the invisible, the elite, the unbound, we are the name they whisper: Division-0.
