Aurora Legion Of Nautical Exploration / ALONE

The Aurora Legion Of Nautical Exploration was formed In the year 2546 shortly after the Atrocity of Jata during the transition of the United Planets of Earth into the United Empire of Earth. With the Government focused on securing the gains at the end of the first Tevarian war and the liquidation of the Tribunal many citizens were left to fend for themselves. Four friends Donald Hoss, Mathias McKinney, Rory O’Connell, and Giuseppe Di’russo all Freelance Stellar Surveyors pledged to each other: If any one of them was in need, the other three would drop everything and come to aid of the one. This pledge was put to the test when Donald “the Don” Hoss was attacked when returning from a stellar survey mission. Don having been a very skilled pilot was able to evade the pirates until backup arrived. Word got around that for thirty minutes Donald Hoss taunted his pursuers saying “You think you can take me because I am alone, you should turn back now.”, “You are pathetic and I am alone.”, “You are running out of time, and I am alone.” Don later admitted he didn’t know he was broadcasting in the clear and was terrified. He thought he was going to die alone and his friends would not come to his aid, history proved this would not be the case.
Don made many friends and would promise to them what his friends promised to him:
Anyone who is a member of ALONE will never have to worry about being alone.
Giuseppe, Don, Mathias, and Rory created the wolfs head logo with ALONE emblazoned along the parameter brand and any pilot wearing the patch or displaying it’s Digital Id with their transponder would only have to broadcast that aid was needed and every member would respond in force.
To the Empire the Organization was registered as the Aurora Legion Of Nautical Exploration, this was done to avoid government taxes and to be eligible for a registered distress channel normally only given to government agencies such as the ICC Stellar Surveyors. Once the Empire caught wind the nature of what the Aurora Legion Of Nautical Exploration’s registered channel was used for, it was quickly reallocated to the ICC.
While no longer an officially registered organization with the Empire, rumors and whispers of the wolfs head ALONE Logo keep resurfacing through out the centuries. The descendants of the founding members and those that it has helped have kept the Organization alive.
We are ALONE!
