History:

It's not unheard of for Freelance Trading Organisations to crop up around the houses, small groups of like-minded individuals trying to scrape together a living wage or carve out their own fortune are common place in Sirius. “White Shipping Company” as it came to be known was forged out of this same philosophy by an individual known to most as ‘Felix White’.

Although only a recent addition to the galactic stage of Sirius, White Shipping Company was created to act as an alternative to big corporations for any individual or company seeking business from a non-house entity. The idea was born when Felix White, or as he came to be known, has to carve out a new identity for himself after a large mishap occurred on his home, Planet Crete. Due to certain events that transpired there, White cannot return home and has to make a living elsewhere.

For a time after leaving Crete White integrated himself among the Junkers within the smuggling and black market trade. He devolved into various businesses and affairs, learning a great deal about the system while he worked from within it. He discovered common trades and backdoor deals, risky routes that yield a high profit at great risk; White discovered what happened at Crete that caused him to pushed off world.

White was swindled out of a deal and framed, this was apparently common practice among criminals and degenerate scum that frequented such lowly areas, places where they could find unwitting victims. White realised that the system was flawed, and although it was profitable, he wanted nothing to do with it.

That being said, there were some good souls within the Junkers encountered by White. He found a friend by the name of “Cornelius Kirk” who originated from Bretonia, but has since become more mobile while running contracts under the Junker flag. Kirk told White that he came from a noble family originally, but after ‘family issues’ arose he was disowned and left to the wolves of Sirius.

This is where the concept and idea of WSC came to fruition, Kirk used his remaining connections in Bretonia to ensure a certain establishment on New London was to suddenly undergo rapid liquidation and face bankruptcy. A slimy tactic employed, but it was effective nevertheless. It was this sneaky strategy that ensured the cheap acquirement of some basic transports and property on which to base their operations out of was achievable.

This laid the groundwork for a whole new endeavour, making a new start far away from the confines that previously restricted the pair. The pair got to work, using their knowledge of both legal and illegal trade routes, they were able to move items of almost any kind and would always be ensured a hefty profit for their work. Now they had a chance to carve out their own path, their own future.
