History

Void Loot Recovery (VLR)

Established in 2955, the Void Loot Recovery collective is a pragmatic, part-time gathering of hard-working one-ship operators. We know the value of a good find and the satisfaction of honest work. We strictly limit our operations to sanctioned wrecks within UEE space and carve a living from derelict hulls between shifts. Membership is casual – join when you can, walk away when you must. No grand ambitions, just honest scrap, honest pay, and the steady hum of a scrapper in the dead of space.

By the book and by necessity, our operations are fully legalized: we hold a Class C salvage license – specifically for the Drake Vulture as a cost-saving measure – and renew it without fail. We’re filed under some leftover UPE law that’s still on the books, which, through a quirk of statute, places VLR under the technical ownership of one survivor of an equine lineage. Rest assured, every fee is paid, every claim is properly filed, and our papers are beyond question—so you’ll never find the Advocacy knocking on your hull.Please check back soon!

Manifesto

What We’re About

Honest Work

We’re in this to make a living, not headlines. We don’t posture or provoke—we show up, do the job right, and split the haul fair. Wrecks pay better than drama, and we’re here for the steady hum of a working scrapper, not the spotlight.

Reclaim, Reuse, Repeat

Every stripped hull is a win for the loop. Salvaging keeps good metal in circulation, eases the strain on mining ops, and cuts back on waste. It’s not glamorous, but it’s efficient—and it means one less ship drifting dead where someone might run into it.

We Keep Space Clear

Pulling wrecks clears lanes, reduces hazards, and keeps civvies and haulers safer. We may not wear uniforms, but salvage is a service—and one this Collective takes seriously.

Charter

VLR Public Rules of Operation

1. Salvage What’s Sanctioned

VLR members engage strictly in the recovery of wrecks that are legally designated for salvage within UEE-monitored and neutral space. Only derelicts confirmed as abandoned or those covered under an official salvage claim are considered viable. If it’s not cleared, it’s not ours.

2. Vulture or Nothing

VLR operates under a Class C salvage license specifically issued for the use of the Drake Vulture. This license explicitly limits all salvaging to that platform, used either alone or with UEE-approved hand tools (e.g., multitools). No other salvage-capable vessels are permitted under the Collective’s licensing structure. Operating outside these terms voids protection under VLR’s legal umbrella.

3. No Drama, Just Debris

Solo salvagers operating under VLR’s banner observe a strict non-confrontational stance. The Advocacy is never far, and it’s not worth the hassle. If another solo op’s there first, walk away. Our strength lies in numbers — but the code for lone operators is clear: avoid entanglements, avoid escalation.

4. Keep It Casual, Keep It Clean

VLR is a part-time Collective. Join when you can, walk when you must. But while you’re in, uphold the crew’s good name. That means no unnecessary risk, no sloppy conduct, and no dishonour on the org. One bad apple can get Advocacy sniffing around all of us.

5. Paperwork’s Yours

VLR’s legal status – carried over from a pre-Messer-era statute – puts personal responsibility on each member. You are individually accountable for logging your recovered goods, filing claims, and ensuring all recoveries are registered in compliance with UEE commercial salvage law. FLASC maintains compliance only because you do.

6. Open-Hand Cooperation

VLR extends an open hand to all forms of collaboration: trade agreements, delivery services, shared production efforts, data exchanges, temporary military support, or any mutually beneficial arrangement. We welcome any incoming cooperation that respects our neutrality and advances the goals of individual members.

7. Neutral Means Neutral

VLR does not enter into formal alliances. Our charter’s structure — and the peculiar legal standing of our registered ownership — makes long-term affiliation legally complicated. If a group needs our help, we’ll listen; but we don’t wear anyone’s flag but our own.

8. Flare Dump Means Surrender

VLR officially recognizes a full flare dump followed by power-down as a universal sign of surrender. This act signals disengagement and should be honoured as such. Anyone flashing flares and going dark is off the table – no scrap is worth crossing that line.
