Zero Gravity Recovery Services / ZGRS

Company Manifesto

We’re here to help ourselves, help each other, and help whoever we find who needs it in the verse. We take missions, official or otherwise, as they present themselves and as we see fit.

Help Where Needed

Not all profit is monetary, but we get paid where we can to fuel future endeavours. If we’re in the vicinty, or if not and the price is right, we’ll try to make ourselves available.

Fight Where It Counts

It can be rough out there in the void, and we are not some band of doe-eyed civilians looking for an easy payday. If the mission needs it then we come in swinging.

Purposeful Action

Accidents happen, but we never set out to grief or troll. The universe is harsh enough without senseless cruelty. Every action we take is driven by respect for the journey of others and our own guiding principles.
