If you want to know how the organization will be run and operated please read our manifesto, meanwhile, let me tell you a bit about how the “Red Eyed Rabbits” came to be.
Back in 2516 the UNE Congress approval of the plan to centralize Eastern System operations pushed mankind to set a new base of operations out of the newly discovered 342A.03M planet, by Chief Surveyor Wei-Yin Song and his team (baptized has Terra due to all the similarities to Earth), setting the production and transport of equipment and personnel to unprecedented values.
Taking advantage of this was a new breed of pilots, eager to explore new systems and build a reputation in the new frontiers. The demand for qualified pilots was high but the budgets and the schedules were tight. The nonstop demand was spread to all types of roles and trades, no tasks were too big or too small, for most pilots all that mattered was to become reliable and indispensable in this new world of opportunities.
Every job was demanding and the earnings were not great, so if you wanted a glimpse at better contracts you had to work even harder and on tighter schedules. No need to say that not that many pilots were up to it. While those who delivered on schedule were known has “Jackrabbits”, those who fulfilled the big contracts were known as “Red Eyed Rabbits”, the sleep deprivation and the countless hours looking at flight screens turned their eyes red of fatigue.
Whit the exponential exploration of the galaxy, although the first contact whit the Banu back in 2438 had turned to be a peaceful one, what was about to happen was, at some point, inevitable. The tension whit the Xi’an, after the accidental discovery of their homeworld back in 2530, and the discovery of a combat driven race, the Tevarian, would lead to an unavoidable war in 2541.
Whit mankind forced into an undesirable war, most pilots were forced to join the UEE fleet to ensure the survival of our species. Many souls were lost, but for those who survived all the acquired experience would become for some a way of living, has they pursued in security or law enforcement roles, while for others, just some bad memories they would rather try and forget has they returned to their former ways of life.
For the next few decades a few more undesired wars would come, the 2nd Tevarian war in 2610 and the Vanduul raids starting in 2681.
The organization starts to take shape after these troubled times (around 2789), mankind was experiencing a sustained growth, the demand for experienced pilots became higher than ever due to the reconstruction efforts and the continuous expansion to new star systems, and so, a small group of pilots, taking advantage of all their joint experience in the most diverse roles, would join together and honor those values that had bond them together, founding the “Red Eyed Rabbits”, in honor of those whose reputation had become synonymous to commitment, reliability and professionalism.
The present-day, however, resembles little to our former glory, the economic collapse around the synthplanets drove most of our member families to ruin… but there is still hope, hope that the values that founded this organization may echo across the verse and hail our brothers.
