Starfall Consortium / STFACO

Born from the frustration of corporate greed and government oversight, Starfall Consortium emerged as a refuge for those who sought true independence in the ‘verse. Its founders—veteran pilots, battle-hardened mercenaries, and seasoned traders—had grown weary of the endless restrictions imposed by megacorporations and the ever-tightening grip of the UEE. They had spent years as cogs in someone else’s machine, fighting wars that weren’t theirs, running cargo for factions that only saw them as disposable assets, and hunting bounties dictated by bureaucratic interests rather than justice.

Determined to carve out their own fate, they formed a loose network of freelancers, taking jobs on their terms—bounties, trade runs, extractions, and high-risk mercenary contracts. In those early days, the Consortium was little more than a name shared among like-minded individuals who refused to be tied down. They operated in the shadows, building alliances with smugglers, information brokers, and other freelancers who saw the value in autonomy. But freedom came at a price. The crew faced betrayal from double-dealing clients, ambushes from rival factions, and the constant threat of being hunted by those who saw them as competition.

Yet, despite the hardships, Starfall endured. Through sheer grit and an unshakable code—honor the deal, earn your keep, and fly free—they built a reputation that couldn’t be ignored. Skilled pilots and operators, tired of rigid military command structures and corporate exploitation, took notice. The Consortium became more than a network; it became a brotherhood of independent professionals who valued loyalty, skill, and the ability to survive in the harshest corners of space.

Over time, their operations expanded. No longer just a band of freelancers, Starfall took on increasingly lucrative and dangerous jobs—security contracts in lawless systems, smuggling runs under the nose of the Advocacy, black-market extractions deep in hostile territory. They learned to navigate the fine line between legality and survival, never swearing allegiance to any faction, yet earning the respect (and sometimes the fear) of those who dealt with them.

Now, Starfall Consortium is a known name in the ‘verse, a force that thrives on opportunity and the bonds of a crew that watches each other’s backs. They hold no territory, owe no fealty, and answer to no one but themselves.

The ‘verse is ruthless, but so are they.

No borders. No limits. Just freedom.
