Welcome to Ironbound Security Collective
the only security group that offers FIREPOWER, loyalty,
and an 87% survival rate.
(We’re working on it.)



History

Ironbound Security Collective was formed in 2897 in the Ferron System, also known as “that place everyone leaves as fast as possible.”
Factories shut down, crime exploded, and the local authorities entered a new strategic doctrine called “not my problem.”

So a mismatched group of ex-miners, laid-off factory guards, bar brawlers, and people who owed too many credits to disappear legally decided to form their own security group.

Their first meeting turned into their first firefight.
Their second meeting turned into their first contract.
Their third meeting turned into an explosion no one ever took responsibility for.

Thus, Ironbound Security Collective was born.
Not out of noble purpose…
but because we’ve got nothing left to lose, and really need money.

Manifesto

We are the hammer in the shadows, the polite suggestion that “maybe don’t do that” actually means you will regret that.
Chaos thinks it’s clever. We think it’s adorable… right before we punch it in the face. Repeatedly.

We protect the innocent, annoy the guilty, and occasionally give unsolicited life advice with extreme prejudice. Chains are fashion statements for our enemies, and subtlety is for people who like staying alive.

We do not apologize. We do not negotiate. We may smirk while your bad decisions explode spectacularly around you.
We are Ironbound: terrifyingly competent, suspiciously cheerful about it, and probably plotting something mildly illegal—but fun.

Ironbound Security Collective
Because subtlety is overrated.

Charter

Core Beliefs

Survival is Negotiable, Humor is Mandatory
  • If you make it out alive, tell the story. If not, we’ll embellish it anyway. Either way, someone dies laughing.
Chaos is a Tool, Not a Bug
  • Confuse the enemy. Confuse your allies. Confusion is a perfectly valid frontier strategy.
Explosions are Encouraged, Applause Optional
  • If it moves, shoot it. If it doesn’t, shoot it anyway. If it’s still there, call it “strategic scenery.” Bonus points for dramatic flair.
Duct Tape Solves Almost Everything
  • Hull breaches, cargo crates, morale crises… don’t ask about relationships.
Morale is Optional, Sarcasm is Required
  • Deadpan commentary is encouraged during firefights. Bonus points for groan-worthy puns and inappropriate timing.
If It’s Not On Fire, You’re Doing It Wrong
  • A fully functional mission is suspicious. True Ironbound success usually involves flames, smoke, or at least someone yelling “I told you so.”
We Rescue, We Protect… and Occasionally Add Flair
  • Explosions, dramatic entrances, and questionable improvisation included at no extra cost. Side effects may include minor property damage and heroism.
Documentation is Optional, Storytelling is Mandatory
  • If someone asks for a report, make it funny. Accuracy is secondary to style, flair, and sarcastic footnotes.
Always Leave Something Weird Behind
  • If a pirate survives your encounter, make sure they tell a story about you that is slightly exaggerated and slightly terrifying.
Every Day is a Training Exercise… Sort Of
  • Training may include: navigating derelict ships, surviving minor explosions, improvising defenses with duct tape, and resisting the urge to shoot unhelpful bystanders.
