History
The Blackline Industrial Manifesto: History and Creed
Origin of the Line
Blackline Industrial (BLI) was forged not in the luxury of polished star systems, but in the raw, unforgiving vacuum of the frontier. Established by a consortium of hardened pilots and experienced logistics specialists, the organization was founded on one core principle: Absolute Reliability.
In the early days, while others chased luxury contracts in secure territories, BLI specialized in the routes considered too dangerous, the salvage too volatile, and the planetary resource extraction deemed too difficult. This focus on the harshest contracts—the ‘black lines’ on a navigation chart that most ships avoided—gave the organization its name. It meant dedication, rugged efficiency, and a commitment to delivery, no matter the cost or danger.
Growth and Specialization
Our growth was fueled by trust and success where others failed. BLI quickly expanded beyond simple haulage, integrating robust divisions for heavy asset salvage, complex material fabrication, and tactical security escorts.
The Fabricators and Riggers of Blackline became legendary for their ability to repair and maintain equipment far from safe ports, transforming hazardous environments into viable operational zones. Every Cadet, Rigger, and Jumpship Captain that joins us learns the BLI standard: *If it’s worth doing, it’s worth over-engineering.

The Nexus Today
Today, Blackline Industrial stands as a highly respected force in the industrial sector of the ‘Verse. Under the direction of our Nexus Prime, we operate a vast network of assets, managing everything from large-scale mining operations and deep-space salvage recoveries to secure transport of critical, high-value payloads.
We are not merely a company; we are a disciplined industrial brotherhood defined by capability. We seek those who share our commitment to efficiency, integrity, and the enduring spirit of the frontier. When a job is critical, dangerous, and requires unquestionable competence, the galaxy calls Blackline.
Manifesto
Blackline Industrial: The Nexus Protocol
We are Blackline Industrial (BLI). We are not merely merchants or haulers; we are the foundation of the frontier economy. Our name is the guarantee of efficiency, and our creed is built upon the singular truth of the ‘Verse: Competence is the only currency that matters.
Our Intentions: To Define the Industrial Standard
Blackline Industrial exists to seize control of the industrial supply chain wherever others show weakness. Our intention is simple and unwavering:
Dominate the Line: We will execute contracts others deem too volatile, too distant, or too complex. We specialize in the “black lines”—the harshest, most critical routes—and our success rate will be absolute.
Forge Reliability: We are the solution to chaos. When a client requires assets secured, materials fabricated, or payloads delivered without compromise, they call us. Our operational standards, enforced by every Rigger and Fabricator, ensure redundancy and success.
Expand the Grid: We will systematically extend our presence into new sectors. Every new mining claim, every successful salvage operation, and every secure transport expands the influence and stability of the Blackline network.
Our Motives: The Pursuit of Unrivaled Capability
We are motivated by the relentless pursuit of industrial perfection and tactical superiority. We do not chase fleeting profit; we chase the authority that comes with being undeniably the best.
The Apex of Skill: We value technical skill, discipline, and operational execution above all else. Every member, from the newest Hold Initiate to the most seasoned Jumpship Captain, is driven by the desire to master their trade.
Strategic Control: We recognize that control of resources is control of power. Our motive is to command the flow of critical goods and services, securing the long-term prosperity and independence of BLI.
Thriving in the Void: We reject the soft ports and easy routes. Our motive is to prove that discipline and over-engineering allow us to thrive in the harsh environments where other organizations collapse.
Our View: The Industrial Creed
Our philosophy is a rejection of mediocrity. We maintain a strict, professional view of our role in the galaxy.
No Place for Sentiment: Personal feelings and internal conflicts are inefficient and unacceptable distractions. Our focus is entirely on the objective, the asset, and the mission success.
The Chain of Command: We operate under a defined hierarchy, culminating in the Nexus Prime. Clarity of command ensures rapid decision-making under duress, protecting the entire operation.
Zero Tolerance for Failure: We do not tolerate negligence, theft, or deliberate incompetence. The galaxy is unforgiving, and so is our organization. We demand a commitment to the BLI Standard in every maneuver, every weld, and every transaction.
We are Blackline Industrial. We are the backbone. We are the line.
Charter
Blackline Industrial Charter: The Public Creed
The following tenets define every member of Blackline Industrial (BLI). They are not merely suggestions, but the iron standards upon which our reputation—and the success of our contracts—is built. Adherence to this Charter is mandatory for all Ranks, from Hold Initiate to Nexus Prime.
I. Absolute Reliability: Holding the Line
Our name is synonymous with success in the most demanding conditions. Every commitment made, whether to a client or a fellow member, is non-negotiable.
Punctuality: Missions, escorts, and supply runs must be executed on schedule. Delays are only acceptable under conditions of critical system failure or tactical necessity.
Mission Focus: All actions must serve the primary objective. Personal rivalries, unnecessary risks, or distraction will not compromise the contract. We operate with focused efficiency.
Discipline: Orders from a higher Rank (Jumpship Captain and above) during operations are to be followed immediately and without question. Debate follows success, not precedes it.
II. Integrity and Asset Security: Protecting the Payload
The sanctity of client assets and BLI resources is paramount. Trust is the most valuable commodity we transport.
No Internal Theft: Any attempt to sabotage, steal, or misappropriate Blackline Industrial assets, technology, or resources will result in immediate and permanent severance from the organization.
Client Confidentiality: Details regarding contracts, routes, and client identities are classified. They are never to be shared with external parties.
Honest Reporting: All operational reports, inventory checks, and damage assessments must be factually accurate. Dishonesty undermines the trust essential to the industrial chain.
*III. Competence and Growth: The Industrial Standard
*
Blackline Industrial only employs the competent. We maintain our edge through continuous professional development.
Maintain Readiness: All members must ensure their designated ship, gear, and specialized skills are maintained at peak operational capacity. Riggers and Fabricators must enforce this standard.
Knowledge Transfer: Higher Ranks are obligated to mentor and instruct lower Ranks, ensuring that Cadets and Riggers develop into reliable Payload Specialists.
The BLI Standard: When performing repairs, extraction, or fabrication, we adhere to the standard of “over-engineering”—doing the job better than required to ensure maximum redundancy and durability.
Consequence: The Void
Failure to adhere to the Blackline Industrial Charter, particularly clauses regarding asset integrity and mission reliability, will lead to swift demotion, asset restriction, or immediate removal from the organization. Our commitment to competence leaves no room for repeated failure or negligence.
