ORIGIN OF THE FORGE- The Helios Reclamation & Export syndicate was born in the twilight of a dying era. After the fall of the MCRN, The void was left scattered with wreckage of once great fleets and the shattered pride of humanity’s red sons and daughters. From the ruins we will rise.
Our Board of Directors will unveil our official corporaHelios Reclamation — Post-MCRN Timeline
2949 — The MCRN Withdrawal
• Mars Colonial Navy shutters Helios operations after political fractures and funding cuts. • MCRN-appointed managers abandon the Helios Rift region, leaving the Reclaimer fleet stranded with unpaid crews and half-salvaged wrecks. • Senior salvagers and engineers rally under Gareth Desmond, a former field captain, to keep the ships operational.2950 — The Formation of the Directorate
• Desmond and his long-time second, Charlie Brazel, form a provisional command council — later known as the Helios Directorate. • The Directorate establishes Helios Reclamation as an independent salvage and recovery organization. • Charter written aboard the MCRN Reclaimer “Dauntless”, rechristened HRS Helios Prime.2951–2953 — The Survival Years
• Constant skirmishes over salvage rights. Crews go unpaid; operations funded by barter and recovery of derelict systems. • Engineer Haru Kaji designs modular salvage bays, allowing old Reclaimers to refit for mixed contracts (salvage/mining/rescue). • Charlie Brazel commands the first defensive fleet action during the Goss Rift Incident, saving two Reclaimers from pirate seizure.2954 — The Charter Ratification
• Director Mara Voss finalizes the Helios Commercial Charter, granting Helios Reclamation full neutral status across multiple systems. • Helios Credits, a salvage-backed internal currency, introduced to stabilize the economy. • Desmond and Brazel open recruitment to veterans, miners, and ex-mercenaries — laying the foundation of the modern Helios rank structure.2956 — The Covenant Treaty
• After years of conflict, Helios brokers the Covenant Treaty, gaining recognition of its salvage rights in three colonial systems. • Commodore Ilya Ren joins as Fleet Tactician, training new captains and formalizing convoy defense tactics. • The HRS Helios Prime becomes the flagship of a new Reclaimer Task Group.2958–2960 — Rebuilding the Legacy
• Desmond and Brazel oversee expansion into arbitration, escort, and reclamation contracts. • Worker councils and profit-share systems are implemented — morale and loyalty rise across the fleet. • Helios Reclamation emerges as a respected neutral power — no longer a remnant of MCRN, but a sovereign brotherhood of salvagers.2961 — Present Day
• Commander Gareth Desmond — Fleet Commander and Founder. • XO Charlie Brazel — Executive Officer, Head of Operations and Logistics. • Helios Reclamation now fields a growing fleet led by Reclaimer-class ships and civilian auxiliaries. • Motto reinstated:“Through Wreckage, We Rise.”
The Helios Reclamation Manifesto
“Through Wreckage, We Rise.”
We are Helios Reclamation — born of discipline, tempered by ruin, and driven by purpose.
Once we served under banners not our own; now we serve under the creed we built together.
We are salvagers, traders, and defenders.
We work in the dust of forgotten wars, the bones of ships that once flew proud.
Where others see debris, we see potential — where others see danger, we see duty.
Though our contracts are commercial, our code remains martial.
We stand to order. We work to standard. We fight with honor.
Our word is our bond; our ledger is our truth.
We do not steal.
We do not abandon.
We do not break faith with crew or client.
Each wreck we reclaim is a promise — that loss can become life again, that ruin can fund rebirth.
We are the quiet hands that pull the past from the dark and set it right once more.
Our leadership is earned, not given.
Commander Gareth Desmond leads not by title, but by the scars of work done and battles won.
XO Charlie Brazel stands as the measure of loyalty and resolve — the first to act, the last to leave.
We honor the structure that forged us, yet reject the politics that betrayed us.
We are the sons and daughters of both Mars and the void — disciplined, adaptive, unbreakable.
To those who stand beside us: you are crew.
To those who wrong us: you are debris.
To the stars themselves: we will reclaim you when you fall.
