Timeline and Achievements
2569–2603 | Formation and Messer-era contracts
Apogee Holdings is incorporated on Terra after the First Tevarin War ends. Initial business is “frontier haulage” between Sol, Terra, and Perry-adjacent lanes, taking advantage of Messer-era expansion contracts and lax oversight.
2603–2610 | Tevarin remnant routes
During the Second Tevarin War, Apogee wins several sealed “materials transfer” subcontracts billed as humanitarian logistics. Internally this builds the company’s first deniable courier network and teaches anti-interdiction routing through conflict zones.
2681–2715 | Vanduul emergence and the Orion lesson
After the Vanduul’s first known attack wipes Dell Township on Armitage in Orion (2681), Apogee pivots into hardened convoy planning and salvage brokerage. Quietly, the firm begins paying bounties to independent hunters for raider intel, a habit that later folds into formal Guild relationships.
2710s–2780s | Cold War efficiencies along the Perry Line
With UEE–Xi’an tensions freezing eight border systems into a militarized buffer, Apogee markets “compliance-first” freight staging and transshipment audits. Off the books, the same hubs become perfect for compartmentalized hand-offs.
2792–2795 | Reform years and the cleanup
The fall of the Messers and the Garron II revelations force a corporate scrub. Apogee re-registers subsidiaries under new boards, rolls out a Code of Client Diligence, and brands its recovery teams as “bonded security.” Publicly, the firm touts ecological compliance under the newly ratified Fair Chance Act.
2793 | Perry Line Pact
Peace with the Xi’an opens legal trade across former buffer systems. Apogee spins up “first-to-file” corridor services and silently retires several legacy shell carriers that had thrived on the gray margins of the Cold War.
2851–2900 | The Stanton opportunity
With Stanton discovered in 2851 and parcelled to major megacorps, Apogee becomes an early third-party mover for component flows into Hurston, ArcCorp, Crusader, and microTech. Official brochures call it “corporate park logistics.” Internally, Stanton becomes a perfect mask for moving sensitive cargo among four very different compliance regimes.

2872+ | Synthworld lifeline contracts
When Project Archangel is announced in Chronos, Apogee wins low-profile backhaul and scrap-stream contracts that keep ships cycling through the under-watched outer lanes of the empire. The project’s endless appetite for material provides excellent cover for moving other things.
2903–2943 | Grim HEX era and the rise of Ninetails
As Grim HEX degenerates into an outlaw hub and Ninetails consolidate in Stanton, Apogee’s “escort brokerage” quietly turns into bounty tasking and information buys. The public narrative stays spotless: “We sub-contract licensed security when routes are threatened.”
2943–2955 | Present posture
Ninetails blockades and Crusader Security tensions create recurring disruptions around Crusader and Yela. Apogee launches a Risk-Managed Transit program that pairs “bonded couriers” with certified Guild hunters and Advocacy-friendly paperwork. The org’s poster routes are the legal ones. The profitable routes run in the shadows of those lanes.
Public Milestones:
“Gold Carrier” safety rating for multi-system HAZMAT and controlled-goods logistics through Stanton’s four corporate jurisdictions.
Bonded Bounty Interface rolled out as a “cargo recovery” service that hires Guild-certified contractors to reclaim stolen freight and interdict persistent threats.
Perry Corridor Compliance Suite marketed to Xi’an-facing exporters as a post-2793 documentation and routing package.
Chronos Backhaul Program citing ten years of “materials circularity” supporting Archangel Station logistics.
The Quiet Ledger (for roleplay hooks)
Shell carriers and flags seeded during the Messer era still exist under legacy registrars. They surface when a job needs clean separation from Apogee’s mainline assets.
Advocacy relationships maintained at arm’s length. Officially procurement. Unofficially early notice on warrants and interdictions along target corridors.
Guild retainers kept current. “Cargo recovery” tickets become deniable bounty work on pirates, debtors, and problem subcontractors.
Stanton masking is constant. Every sensitive move is paired with a visible, boring one between the big four planets and their moons.
Manifesto
Apogee Manifesto
Filed publicly with the UEE Trade and Logistics Authority, Terra, 2955.
“Apogee is not a place. It’s the point furthest from control.”
— Unattributed internal memo, circa 2831
I. Our Creed
We were founded in the void between legality and necessity.
Where trade lanes end, and empires grow thin, we endure.
Apogee exists to move what must be moved — cargo, people, secrets, justice — across the black, without apology.
We are not smugglers. We are facilitators of motion.
We are not bounty hunters. We are collectors of debt in all its forms.
We are not criminals. We are the lubrication in a universe that grinds itself to dust on bureaucracy.
II. The Veil of Legitimacy
Every manifest we file is accurate. Every contract we sign is real.
Every transaction is wrapped in the paperwork of civilization —
and beneath that layer, the truth hums in jump-space:
profit is cleaner than law.
Apogee’s strength has always been plausible deniability.
Our fleets fly under legitimate transponders.
Our pilots are registered freelancers.
Our operations are “off-world logistics.”
And yet, every crate moved, every mark taken, every ghost recovered tells the real story.
III. The Code
No interference. No betrayal. No loose tongues.
We operate on three simple laws:
Deliver the contract — whatever it takes.
Protect your crew — the ship is your lifeline, the crew your kin.
Never bring heat home — our sanctuaries remain unburned because we keep them clean.
Everything else is negotiable.
IV. The Black Dividend
Empires fall. Corporations collapse.
But freight, data, and blood debts always need moving.
The universe rewards those who carry what others fear to touch.
We call it The Black Dividend — the yield earned from risk and silence.
Our ledgers are not measured in credits, but in leverage.
A favor owed. A secret held. A rival erased.
These are the currencies that built Apogee, and the ones that will keep it alive long after the next system burns.
V. The Future Horizon
As of 2955, Apogee Holdings stands as one of the oldest privately held logistics entities still operating under its founding charter.
Our fleet spans from the lawless stretches of Pyro to the neon corridors of ArcCorp.
Our contractors move freely through Xi’an and Banu space.
And our influence — subtle, precise, and unseen — runs deeper than any advocacy record can trace.
The future will not be won by those who ask permission.
It will be carved by those who take the jump before the beacon lights.
We are Apogee.
We go where control ends.
Charter
Apogee Holdings: Code of Conduct
Filed under UEE Trade Compliance Act §44-C, amended 2949.
“Professionalism is our cover; excellence is our weapon.”
1. Uphold the Charter
Every member represents Apogee Holdings in the public eye. Conduct yourself with integrity, discretion, and competence. Our contracts depend on the trust we project — both to clients and to those who would rather not ask questions.
2. Respect the Chain
Command exists to maintain clarity in chaos. Orders flow downward, trust flows upward. Debate is welcome — disobedience is not. In the void, hesitation costs more than credits.
3. Protect the Crew
Your crew is your family. Whether in transit, on contract, or docked, their safety and loyalty come before all. We fly as individuals, but survive as one fleet.
4. Keep the Ledger Clean
All transactions, deliveries, and bounties must be recorded through approved channels. Accuracy keeps us compliant. Silence keeps us safe. Omission, not deceit, is the art of survival.
5. Discretion Above All
Do not discuss company operations, clients, or partners outside authorized circles. What happens under Apogee’s banner stays in the dark between stars. Our strength lies in anonymity.
6. No Unprovoked Hostility
We are professionals, not pirates. Engagement is authorized only when necessary to defend life, cargo, or Apogee interests. Efficiency and restraint define us — chaos does not.
7. Leave No Trace
When an operation concludes, ensure nothing remains that can be traced to Apogee Holdings. This includes data logs, comms traffic, and unnecessary witnesses. We leave success — not evidence.
8. Rise to the Apogee
Every member strives for mastery — of ship, skill, and self. We do not recruit the reckless; we forge the capable. Remember: reputation is as valuable as cargo, and just as fragile.
Organization Motto
“Fly True. Speak Little. Deliver Always.”
