Blackstar Salvage Corp. [TSC2023] - Organizations

History

The origins of Blackstar Salvage Corp are as murky as the deep space it roams. What began as a small crew of misfit explorers and outcasts has evolved into a formidable force, operating in the shadows of the galaxy’s most dangerous territories.

Founded decades ago by a group of veteran spacers who had seen too many battles and too little reward, Blackstar was born out of necessity. The founders were ex-military, miners, and smugglers—people with nowhere to go and nothing to lose. They banded together after one fateful mission in a distant system went catastrophically wrong. Stranded and left for dead among the wreckage of their ships, they scavenged parts, patched together what they could, and against all odds, managed to limp back to civilization. This was the first taste of survival through salvage, and they quickly realized the galaxy was filled with opportunities for those willing to take them.

In the early days, Blackstar operated as a loose collective, drifting through the outer reaches of known space, taking whatever jobs they could find. They worked the fringes, slipping in and out of systems unnoticed, picking over the bones of forgotten skirmishes and derelict ships. What others saw as junk, Blackstar saw as survival. Slowly, their reputation grew, as did their crew, attracting like-minded individuals who weren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.

As the crew expanded, so did their ambitions. No longer content to just scrape by, Blackstar Salvage Corp. began pushing into more dangerous, more profitable territory. They became experts at navigating hostile environments, working in zones too risky for traditional salvage operations. Rumors of Blackstar’s daring and resourcefulness spread, but so did their notoriety. While they rarely engaged in direct combat, they were known to “liberate” valuable resources from battlefields and even the occasional unguarded convoy.

Over time, Blackstar evolved from a ragtag group of survivalists into an organized, well-equipped force. They acquired advanced reclamation technology, expanded their fleet, and built a network of contacts throughout the galaxy’s underworld. They remain fiercely independent, operating outside the laws of any system, but they’ve become a key player in the shadows—always one step ahead of the authorities and anyone else looking to claim what Blackstar has marked as theirs.

Today, Blackstar Salvage Corp. stands as a symbol of survival and resilience. From the darkest corners of the ‘verse, they continue their relentless pursuit of fortune, driven by the belief that in the end, only those who can adapt and scavenge from the wreckage will endure.

Manifesto

In the vast, cold emptiness of space, nothing is given. We are not born into wealth, nor do we inherit power. We carve our own path, with no masters and no laws but our own. We are Blackstar Salvage Corp, and we exist beyond the reach of empires and the grasp of the corporate elite. We survive by our wits, our courage, and the will to take what we need from the wreckage of this galaxy.

We believe in freedom—the kind earned through sweat, grit, and raw determination. The systems of the galaxy may be vast, but their reach is not infinite. Beyond their borders, in the forgotten places where others fear to tread, we find our purpose. We are not scavengers. We are opportunists, turning chaos into profit, stripping the dead weight of conflict and misfortune to fuel our own journey through the stars.

We do not kneel. We do not submit. We forge our own destiny from the scraps and bones of battles fought by those who think themselves greater than us. Their wars, their conflicts—these are opportunities for those with the courage to seize them.

We value survival above all else. The galaxy is unforgiving, and so are we. In the silence of the void, no one will save you. We rely on each other, bound by a shared understanding: the only way to stay alive in this galaxy is to be smarter, faster, and more ruthless than those who would take what is ours.

We reclaim. We repurpose. We rebuild. Where others see waste, we see potential. A broken ship is a puzzle, a ruined station a treasure trove waiting to be unlocked. We take what is lost and forgotten, and from it, we build our future.

We reject the control of any government, corporation, or military. We answer to no one. The borders they draw, the laws they write—none of it matters beyond the farthest reaches. Out here, we are free to live by our own code. Loyalty is earned, not given. Trust is built through action, not words. Those who stand with us are family, bound not by blood but by the shared understanding that together, we are stronger than the systems that seek to control us.

To those who would brand us outlaws: we wear the name with pride. In a galaxy of order and oppression, it is the rebels, the survivors, the free souls who will inherit the stars.

We are Blackstar Salvage Corp. We do what must be done. We take what we need. We will not be stopped.
