Welcome to the local charter. Interested in becoming a prospect? You came to the right place. Talk to our sergeant-at-arms to see about joining up.
The origins of the Bedouin known as the Flotilla Company can be traced back to the early days of humanity’s expansion into the stars. The original founders of the clans were a group of pioneers who left UEE space in search of new opportunities and adventure.
As they journeyed through the vastness of space, the group encountered many challenges and hardships. They faced hostile aliens, treacherous asteroid fields, and the constant threat of pirate attacks and UEE interference. But through their determination and courage, the clans united.
Over time, the Starfarers developed a unique way of life that blended aspects of farming, trading, and warrior culture. They became adept at growing crops in the harsh conditions of pyro and learned to trade with other groups they encountered on their travels.
But perhaps most importantly, the Bedouin came to value honor above all else. They believed that the kins’ true worth lay not in the number of battles they won, but in how they conducted themselves in the face of adversity. To the Bedouin, honor meant keeping one’s word, treating others respectfully, and always fighting for what was right.
As the Bedouins continued to travel the stars, their reputation grew. Other groups began to seek them out for their unique goods and services, and many came to admire the Starfarers for their values and way of life.
Today, the Bedouin and their Kin is a respected and feared group in their sector of space.
We, the members of the Flotilla Company, declare this manifesto to govern our conduct and actions as warriors, farmers, and traders in the vastness of space.
