The History of R2B (Run to Business)
Founded in 2950 (2020 Earth time)

1. Humble Beginnings (2950)
Founders: Two longtime friends, [R2G] and [Beidou], launched R2B with nothing more than a Reliant Kore and a pocket full of credits.

Mission: Deliver cargo, make creds, and build a name based on trust, hustle, and zero shortcuts.

Early Struggles: Constant raids from pirates, navigation failures, and barely scraping enough UEC to refuel.

2. Grinding and Growth (2951–2953)
Upgrade Path:

First big upgrade: Cutlass Black with cargo racks.

Community contracts started trickling in.

Expanded into Mercury Star Runner for faster data/cargo runs.

Reputation Built: Known in Stanton as “the guys who always deliver, no matter what.”

3. The Turning Point (2954)
Major Contract: A risky delivery to GrimHEX turned into their most profitable run, giving them the funds to expand rapidly.

Fleet Expansion:

Purchased their first Hull C.

Recruited first wave of haulers, miners, and combat escorts.

Branding: The “Run to Business” name began to carry weight. Simple motto:
“We move. You win.”

4. Formal Organization (2955)
Infrastructure Built:

Registered officially as an org in UEE records.

Created divisions: Cargo, Security, Logistics, Exploration.

Base of Operations: Set up a primary HQ on New Babbage Microtech.

5. Modern Era (2956–Present)
Fleet: Boasts a wide array of haulers (Hull C, Caterpillar, C2 Hercules), plus escort ships and utility craft.

Alliances: Working relationships with mining and salvage orgs; known for fair trades and reliability.

Future Goals:

Establish a trade route monopoly in Pyro post-jump point stabilization.

Launch the R2B Academy to train new haulers.

R2B Today
From two friends and a light freighter to a respected logistics org with a reputation for speed, grit, and trust—R2B is still growing. But they haven’t forgotten the golden rule that started it all:
Never miss a run.
