//BEGIN MESSAGE//

TODAY MARKS THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF OUR ORGANIZATION’S FOUNDING. I AM PROUD TO CALL YOU MY BROTHERS IN ARMS. WE HAVE FOUGHT DAILY TO BRING TO HEEL THOSE WHO HOUND LEGITIMATE BUSINESS CONCERNS ACROSS THE VERSE. BY THE LATEST COUNT WE ARE THE GUARDIANS AT THE DOOR FOR 9 SYSTEMS, COMPRISING SOME 21 SECTORS OF SECURE SPACE AND PROTECT THE INTERESTS OF 137 CORPORATIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS. NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS DID I EXPECT SUCH TREMENDOUS GROWTH. GROWTH BUILT BY YOUR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION TO OUR MISSION.

ILIUM STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS WAS FOUNDED BECAUSE WE KNEW WE COULD BE BETTER, QUICKER, BOLDER THAN THE COMPETITION. HONED IN THE CRUCIBLE OF THE FIRST VANDUUL CONTACT WAR OUR PILOTS WERE THE BEST. THAT LEGACY LIVES ON TODAY, FROM OUR LESS WELL KNOWN OPERATIONS IN THE FRONTIERS OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE ORION CLUSTER WHERE THE CEE-BEAMS OF OUR AENEAS WING BROUGHT PEACE TO THE PEGASUS COLONY, TO OUR CLOCK PUNCHERS WHO PROTECT THE CONVOYS OF GRAIN THAT FEED MOTHER EARTH WE HAVE BECOME THE INDISPENSABLE SHIELD THAT CIVILIZATION NOW LIVES BEHIND. REMEMBER WHY WE FIGHT TO BRING ORDER AND JUSTICE TO THE VERSE. REMEMBER WHY WE ARE THE FIRST TO BE CALLED INTO ACTION. REMEMBER THAT WE CARRY ON THE LEGACY OF THE IMPREGNABLE WALLS OF TROY.

AS ALWAYS, KEEP ONE EYE OPEN YOU WATCHERS OF THE DEEP BLACK NIGHT.

Timeline

  • 2781.12.02 – Ilium Strategic Services founded by ex-cadre of elite UEE pilots, logistics, and planning support staff following the first Vanduul war. The new organization is led by Commodore Leland ‘Hazard’ Perry, a decorated veteran of the war.
  • 2781.12.25 – ILIUM secures its first government contract from the Psy-ops division of the UEE. The unit’s initial Operator class loses 15% of its personnel throughout the fulfillment of the contract. Blackmail of high ranking UEE officers is rumored to have established ILIUM as the goto force for internal action by the UEE.
  • 2783.04.01 – Commodore Leland ‘Hazard’ Perry suffers the first of many April fool’s jokes in a combined operation by his command staff and the marketing & sales group. The Commodore was successfully convinced that the UEE had finally agreed to lease a Badger Class Destroyer to Ilium. Upon inking the deal the staff released a live badger into the Commodore’s office destroying it thoroughly.
  • 2795.07.23 – ILIUM strike teams pacify the restive Nexus sector at the behest of local governing official. The headquarters of Ilium is moved to the important transit hub allowing for increased logistical flexibility by the organization.
  • 2801.12.04 – Commodore Leland ‘Hazard’ Perry dies while competing in the Gorgon’s Cup. While participants are limited to training fire munitions only, Commodore Perry’s opponent’s ship was carrying live ammunition. This event has been regarded as one of the most high profile cases of officially unsolved corporate espionage actions.
  • 2801.12.05 – Ilium Strategic Services is sold to Ghosts of the Revolution Enterprises by the families of the original founders who all had long since perished. New management is brought in as ILIUM’s profits soared with access to new lucrative corporate accounts.

Manifesto

//RECIPIENTS: ALL//
//BEGIN MESSAGE//

FOR SOME THE WAR ENDS WHEN THEY TURN IN THEIR DOG TAGS. FOR US, THE BATTLE FOR CIVILIZATION BEGINS ANEW THE MOMENT THE STYLUS COMES OFF OUR CONTRACTS. PIRATES, SMUGGLERS, CORRUPT MILITARY CONTRACTORS HAVE ALL EATEN AWAY AT THE WALLS OF SOCIETY. WE THE TORCH-BEARERS OF THE ANCIENT CITY-STATE OF TROY WILL CARRY ON THEIR PROUD TRADITION LIVING ON THE EDGE OF THE CIVILIZED WORLD. AND IN THE PROCESS LIKE THAT GREAT CITY WE SHALL BECOME RICH AS TRADE FLOWS THROUGH OUR WATCHFUL GAZE. THE UEE IS OUR HOME, AND WE SHALL PROTECT IT FROM WITHIN AS THE NAVY PROTECTS IT FROM EXTERNAL THREATS. ONWARDS TO VICTORY, RICHES AND, GLORY!

//SIGNED: CDRE LELAND PERRY, FOUNDER//

//ADDENDUM LINDA, MARK THIS DRIVEL FOR REDACTION. THIS PATRIOTIC CRAP HAS NO PLACE IN TODAY’S ILIUM. ALSO WHERE THE HELL ARE THOSE EXPENSE REPORTS? -E.L.//

ALL RIGHT YOU MEN. THE UEE UNIFORMED CODE OF JUSTICE WORKED FOR US WHEN WE WERE IN, AND IT’LL DAMN WELL WORK FOR US NOW. THAT MEANS NO SHOOTING CIVILIANS UNLESS THEY’RE CLEARLY FLAGGED AS PIRATES OR LAW-BREAKERS OR ARE ATTACKING THE CLIENT. WE CANNOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DO ANYTHING THAT WILL PREVENT US FROM GETTING THOSE LUCRATIVE GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS WE ALL KEEP HEARING ABOUT.

NOW I KNOW FOR MOST OF YOU THIS IS JUST A PART-TIME GIG. SOMETHING TO KEEP THE BLOOD MOVING AS YOU MOVE TOWARDS SENESCENCE. FINE; BUT IF YOU ACCEPT A CONTRACT YOU’D BEST DO YOUR DAMNEDEST TO FINISH IT OR YOU’RE OUT. NO SECOND CHANCES. I DON’T HAVE TIME TO FIELD CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS WHEN I’M FIGHTING OFF SOME SNOT-NOSED PUNK IN A CUTLASS. SO DO YOUR JOB AND GET PAID AND WE’LL ALL LEAVE THIS BUSINESS IN A FEW YEARS RICH AND HAPPY!

//NOTE— AS THE WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF GHOSTS OF THE REVOLUTION ENTERPRISES, ILIUM STRATEGIC SERVICES CODE OF GENERAL CONDUCT FALLS UNDER THE PILLARS OF THAT ORGANIZATION SUMMARIZED BELOW//

PILLARS
  • Pillar 0: Real Life Comes First – We hope this is self explanatory.
  • Pillar 1: Forums – Large-scale operations are communicated via the forums, participation is encouraged and promotion to officer ranks is contingent on said participation.
  • Pillar 2: Voice Communication – We utilize TeampSpeak3 for voice communications due to the large size of the group. You must install TeamSpeak3 to become a member at launch. Speaking is not required, but we would like for people to listen in. Leaders must have a mic.
  • Pillar 3: Respect and Sportsmanship – We do not hack, cheat or exploit, nor tolerate those who do. If you think something might be an exploit or hack, don’t use it, talk to an officer. If your idea of fun is trolling, tea bagging and offensive remarks you will find yourself in trouble. We have removed members for being jerks. Respect the Chain of Command. If you have a problem with something an officer is asking you to do, try to resolve it privately. Openly questioning officers undermines their authority. If there is a persistent problem, take it to another officer. Abide by game specific rules.
  • Pillar 4: Participation – When the game goes live there may be scheduled weekly events centered upon gameplay. We are a team and expect our members to act like they’re part of that team. We’re here to kick-ass together, so lets do just that!
