The True Essence of Freedom

New Players and Veterans Welcome

For those who desire to join the Twelve Suns, we ask you only one question, “why do we sail?”

Individuality is what defines our crew. Our members are encouraged to set their goals, and as an organisation, we assist them to refine their skills, tactics, and strategies to ensure they reach their full potential. In the pursuit of true freedom, our members never fight for the desires and dreams of others, only for what they believe in.

2141 | Origin

The Original Twelve

When the oceans of the world dried up, people said the end of mankind had come. They lamented their fate and closed their eyes to the limitless ocean overhead. A small few gritted their teeth, believing in a bright new future for mankind, and embarked upon this new infinite ocean–Space. People pointed their fingers and laughed, calling them outlaws chasing empty dreams. The year is now 2955, and emerging from the tumultuous millennia, the Twelve Suns continue to chase those dreams that many have forgotten.

2943-2955 | Resurgence

Arrival in Stanton

Amongst the first groups to arrive in the Stanton system in the year 2943, the Twelve Suns have long joined in on the fight against the other minor factions vying for supremacy under the monopolising corporations of Stanton. Engaging in head-to-head combat with members of the Nine Tails gang, the nomadic Dusters, and repelling the invasion from the neighbouring system of Pyro.

Often stationed on the dunes of Daymar, our flagship can be found operating as a recruiting hub for those who can prove their worth. However, our hearts are set on finding home in the Castra system.

A Hive of Scum and Villainy

Stanton was thrown into turmoil in the late months of 2954 when a completely unknown gang, calling themselves the Slicers, enacted a campaign of terror against the citizens of Stanton. Civilians became the target of horrific attacks designed to cripple the system’s economy. The Civilian Defence Force (CDF) issued a call to all who would answer, requesting assistance to eliminate the threat to peace. Everyone, from the largest organisations to solitary individuals, joined the effort to push the invaders out of the system; amongst those who answered the call were the Twelve Suns. With the overwhelming CDF forces crippling the incursion and remnants of the Slicers scattering, the Twelve Suns would heed a call to support the rapid resupply of the Citizens for Prosperity and Frontier Fighters in preparation for a counter-offensive to pacify the gangs of Pyro. In the aftermath of the events, the CDF requested that the UEE reopen civilian travel through the Pyro gateway.

With the turn of the year, travel was granted into the Pyro system, and for the first time in a decade, that infinite ocean just got ever-so bigger.

False Flag

As chaos reigned over the systems of Stanton and Pyro, many factions are locked in a spiral that can only end in bloodshed. With a fire burning underneath our crew, the Twelve Suns began launching large-scale operations into Pyro in the opening months of 2955. Operating a fleet of Polaris corvettes and other smaller vessels, the counter-offensive caught the attention of one of the oldest and most powerful groups in Pyro, the Headhunters. Not long after this three-way war began, the false flag operation by the now terrorist organisation, the Slicers, known to many as the Frontier Fighters, was unveiled for all to see. As many factions reeled from being blindsided by the Frontier Fighters, the Twelve Suns held true and aligned themselves with the Headhunters, immediately beginning to expand their endeavours and hunt down the remnants of those who led the incursion to Stanton, which was now a hotbed of illegal activity due to the turmoil.

After the threat was stamped out, our attention was turned to the gold mine of commodities moving through the jump gate to resupply the Citizen for Prosperity and Headhunter after such intense fighting. Almost overnight, the ranks of the Twelve Suns swelled with like-minded citizens, who until now had been living life in the ‘verse on the fringes, with a desire to take advantage of the unassuming haulers, resupply a war-torn Pyro and be a part of something greater–our era of piracy had begun.

2954 | Alliance

No Crime Goes Unpunished… or Does It?

Operating as a solo outfit most of the time, our group often comes to blows with other organisations throughout Stanton. One notable occasion was above the moon of Daymar orbiting Crusader. Members of the Twelve Suns were returning from a group of successful assassination tasks assigned to them by Vaughn, when a well-organised task force of bounty hunters from the Black Adders PMC engaged their gunship, after an intense fire-fight and the Adders losing three ships, a battered Redeemer limped back to Grimhex for repairs. Not accepting defeat, a further four ships jumped into the combat zone and disabled them. Captured and handed over to the authorities, they were sent to Klescher Rehabilitation Facility on Aberdeen.

Hours into their incarceration, an offer was extended by those very ones who put them away to break them out. Risking imminent death, the crew managed to escape the depths of Klescher’s work mines and reach the evac crew waiting for them. The Adders assisted with the incursion into Security Post Kareah to erase their crimestats. They went about their ways, but not without laying the groundwork for a future alliance.
