DEEP Fleet Inc. / DEEPFLEET

The corporation’s history begins long before its formal formation in 2944. DEEP Fleet’s pioneers were submariners during global conflicts, hundreds of years ago, before the human race left Earth. A special task force was organized to transport valuable persons and cargo aboard small, maneuverable submarines. This force was known as Deep Fleet and was specifically charged with the honorable task of transferring national leaders secretly beneath the depths of Earth’s oceans. Possible enemy engagements beneath the waters required that these men be an elite group, capable of piloting their craft with the utmost degree of expertise.

What is known about these early days is somewhat limited. We do know that for over a century Deep Fleet remained hidden and obscure, but as humans began to drift away from their home planet the need for underwater security became obsolete and the last generation of Deep Fleet officers sought new horizons for their organization. Their services were offered to their national government as a means of secure space travel, this idea however was dismissed. At the time colonization of other worlds by humans was still relatively young and the need for security was not recognized as a requirement for galactic transport. As a result Deep Fleet was disbanded as a combative organization.

An uncertain period of time past before Deep Fleet resurfaced as a private militant group. Decendents of original Deep Fleet officers ran an almost rouge military company, thirsty for bounty from black market trade. UEE Police quickly ended Deep Fleet’s rain of piracy along the outer fringes. However their legacy of secure trade and aggressive protection of valuables remained engrained in the minds of their most loyal, if not a bit criminal, clients. From this dark background these ambiguous syndicates began training pilots to transport goods and important persons in the best way they had seen Deep Fleet perform. These men & women, mostly freelance pilots, eventually formed a partnership under the direction of Robert “Segue” Mayne and Gavin “Gattaca” Forge. The expertise of their secure transport spread throughout the galaxy and business for these star pilots rapidly grew. In early 2944 Mayne & Forge decided to make the partnership among these pilots an official corporation and signed the following charter with the UEE Senates Council:

Dynamic Extragalactic Enterprise Partnership Fleet Inc. (DEEP Fleet)
