In the time after the Union and the Commonwealth formed a peace treaty, the No-Colonisation Area (NCA) has been overrun by thieves, pirates, mercenaries, slave traders, and human traffickers. Former Iron Marshall of the Union’s Military, Aleksey Drachma, proposed and founded a new joint effort: the Space Ranger Program (SRP). They would recruit talented pilots, both veterans as well as trainees, uniting together to keep the NCA a peaceful place for traders and travellers. Named after the weapon requiring two hands to wield (representing the collaboration of the Union and the Commonwealth), Halberd-001 became their first headquarters, supporting both training and operations.
