The Void Haulers Union / TVHU

We are the The Void Haulers Union. Born from the fire of forgotten stars and the debris of abandoned vessels, we stand as the lifeblood of the galaxy’s hidden potential. Where others see ruins, we see opportunity. Where others fear the unknown, we chart our course.

We are salvagers.
We reclaim what has been lost to time and conflict. Every derelict ship, forgotten cargo, or wreckage drifting in the abyss holds value, and we will uncover it. We believe nothing is beyond repair, nothing beyond redemption. Our hands bring life back to the bones of space’s forgotten titans.

We are transporters.
We carry the future in our holds. Essential supplies, rare materials, and critical cargo—these are the veins through which the galaxy flows. From the most inhospitable reaches to the edge of civilization, we ensure that no system is left isolated, no colony abandoned to the void. Our journeys may be long, but the cargo we carry defines survival.

We are pioneers.
To salvage and transport is to brave the unknown. We venture where few dare, into the uncharted debris fields, the forgotten sectors, and the dangerous fringes of space. Our work not only sustains economies but pushes the boundaries of exploration. In every shattered hull, we find stories of the past—and from these, we build the future.

We are a brotherhood.
United by purpose, we are more than individuals. Every pilot, engineer, mechanic, and crew member is bound by a shared goal—to turn wreckage into wealth and bring order to the chaos of space. We support one another, fight for one another, and rise together. In the vastness of the cosmos, we are each other’s anchor.

We reject waste.
In the sprawling emptiness of space, we reject the idea that anything is disposable. From the smallest cog to the largest vessel, everything holds value. It is our duty to reclaim, recycle, and repurpose. The galaxy may be vast, but its resources are finite. We are its caretakers.

We fear nothing.
Space is perilous, and danger is our constant companion. But we do not fear the risks we take, for we understand that fortune favors the bold. Our courage is not recklessness but a calculated strength, honed by experience and necessity. In the darkest corners of space, we thrive.

We are the future.
As long as ships break down, wars are fought, and the unknown remains unexplored, there will be a need for us. The guild will endure, for we are the engine that powers the galaxy’s progress, and we will continue to reclaim, rebuild, and transport—until the stars themselves fade.
