History

The creation of the Orison Cloudbreakers is rooted in the explosive growth and subsequent security challenges faced by Crusader Industries following the successful launch of its flagship Star Lifter line.

The Genesis of a Problem
In the early decades of the company’s dominance in large-scale transport, Crusader Industries began experiencing an escalating problem: the volume and value of their cargo made them a prime target for organized piracy and opportunistic raiders operating near the fringes of protected space. While the company had robust internal security, their dedicated security forces often lacked the agility and independent authority to respond to deep-space incidents and secure far-flung resource operations quickly. Existing protocols were reactive, not proactive.

The Appointment of J. Frixie
In response, the Crusader board authorized the formation of a highly specialized, autonomous operational unit. They needed a leader with both an extensive background in deep-space security and a high-level understanding of corporate logistics. That leader was J. Frixie, a former military intelligence officer with a reputation for unconventional problem-solving and an unwavering commitment to mission success. Frixie was given a mandate to create a small, elite force capable of operating independently for extended periods and delivering results where conventional security failed.

The Founding and First Mission
Frixie personally selected a small cadre of pilots, mechanics, and security specialists, outfitting them with custom-modified Crusader ships like the Mercury Star Runner and heavily armed Hercules Starlifter variants. He dubbed the unit the “Cloudbreakers,” a name that evoked the pioneering spirit of Orison and the group’s mission to decisively solve problems that seemed insurmountable—to “break through the clouds” of uncertainty and threat.

Their inaugural operation, designated ‘Project Overcast,’ involved the rapid retrieval of three massive haulers hijacked en route to Crusader’s distant supply depot. Frixie’s Cloudbreakers executed a complex, multi-point intercept maneuver that neutralized the threat, secured the cargo, and minimized damage to the assets, all without firing a single lethal shot—a clear display of their professional, results-oriented methodology. The success of this mission immediately established the Cloudbreakers as the essential, cutting-edge support arm of Crusader Industries, cementing J. Frixie’s position as their revered first leader.

Manifesto

The Orison Cloudbreakers Manifesto
We are the Orison Cloudbreakers. We are not mere guards or logistics personnel; we are the operational certainty of Crusader Industries. Born from necessity and forged in the crucible of deep-space threats, our existence is the uncompromising guarantee that the wheels of commerce turn, the lights of Orison stay on, and the assets of our parent company remain secure.

Our Intention: The Guarantee of Integrity
Our primary intention is absolute and unwavering: to ensure the uninterrupted operational integrity of Crusader Industries. This means guaranteeing the safe, timely, and secure transport of all Crusader assets, personnel, and data. We are the proactive solution to every potential problem, operating with a decisive efficiency that turns risk into resolution. We aim not just to react to threats, but to identify and dismantle them before they materialize, providing the stable foundation upon which Crusader’s galactic enterprise stands.

Our Motives: Duty, Precision, and Supremacy
Duty to the Brand: Our first motive is loyalty to the Crusader name. We are the shield against chaos, protecting the legacy of quality and reliability that the company represents. We view every successful contract as a fortification of the brand’s supremacy in the transport sector.

Motive of Precision: We are driven by the pursuit of operational perfection. We utilize the finest Crusader technology not merely for show, but to achieve a level of tactical and logistical precision unmatched in the galaxy. Our success is measured not by force applied, but by the clean execution of the objective.

Motive of Supremacy: We are motivated by maintaining Crusader Industries’ competitive edge. Where competitors might stall or falter due to risk, the Cloudbreakers ensure Crusader continues its relentless expansion. We are the difference-maker, the unseen variable that keeps Crusader ahead of the curve.

Our Views: Decisiveness and Professionalism
View on Threat: Threats are not obstacles; they are targets to be neutralized with calculated force and minimal collateral impact. We maintain a non-lethal preference in resolution, but will escalate decisively when required to protect assets and personnel.

View on Protocol: Protocol is the foundation of our success. We are not freelancers; we are an elite military-grade corporate subsidiary. Every action is governed by strict, results-driven SOPs, demanding rigorous adherence from every member.

View on the Cloudbreakers: We are the elite. Our membership is a privilege earned through unparalleled skill and unwavering dedication. We are the calm center in the storm of the verse, and every member is expected to embody the highest standards of professionalism, self-reliance, and decisive action. We are the silent assurance that the job will be done.

Charter

Orison Cloudbreakers: Charter of Conduct and Operations
I. Mission Mandate
1. Primary Directive: All Cloudbreaker actions must prioritize the operational integrity, asset security, and reputational defense of Crusader Industries above all other considerations.
2. Contractual Certainty: Every mission is a non-negotiable commitment. Cloudbreakers must ensure the decisive and complete achievement of all assigned contract objectives, regardless of emerging complexity.

II. Operational Rules of Engagement (ROE)
3. Autonomy and Command: Cloudbreakers operate under decentralized command structures led by the Mission Commander (MC) or designated field leader. Field decisions are final. Communications discipline is paramount; report only critical status changes and mission completion.
4. Force Application: The use of force must be calculated and proportional to the immediate threat against Crusader assets or personnel. Priority is always given to asset retrieval and neutralization over irreversible damage to adversaries. Lethal force is authorized only when necessary to preserve life or prevent catastrophic loss of critical assets.
5. Non-Lethal Preference: Whenever feasible, utilize advanced non-lethal and disabling technologies (e.g., electronic countermeasures, EMP, hull stabilizers) to secure targets and minimize collateral damage.
6. No Casualties: Personnel must take all reasonable measures to avoid Cloudbreaker casualties. No asset is worth the loss of an operator.

III. Standards of Conduct and Integrity
7. Professionalism: Cloudbreakers represent the elite standard of Crusader Industries. All interactions with external entities (other corporations, independent pilots, planetary security) must maintain an attitude of measured confidence and unwavering professionalism. Taunts, excessive aggression, or unprofessional communication are strictly prohibited.
8. Operational Secrecy: All mission parameters, deployment details, and operational methodology are classified. Discussion of active or completed contracts with unauthorized personnel is grounds for immediate termination and permanent blacklisting.
9. Equipment Stewardship: Cloudbreaker gear—ships, weapons, armor, and communication tools—are the property of Crusader Industries and must be maintained in peak operational readiness at all times. Any degradation in equipment readiness must be reported immediately.
10. Zero Tolerance for Unauthorized Gain: Exploitation of mission knowledge for personal profit, including salvaging, trading of retrieved non-designated assets, or participation in unauthorized markets, is strictly forbidden and subject to the fullest extent of corporate punitive action.
11. Accountability: Every member is accountable for their actions. Post-mission reports must be ruthlessly accurate, detailing successes, failures, and procedural breaches without fabrication or omission.

IV. The Frixie Principle (Legacy of the First Leader)
12. Problem Solving: Approach every scenario with the assumption that a solution exists. When conventional tactics fail, you are mandated to use unconventional, precise, and surgical methods to achieve the objective, ensuring the resolution is swift and final.
