History
The year was 818 AS when the fleet of Omicroners, following in the path of the Zoner Trading Consortium colony ships which had gone before, departed from Omicron 74. They made for dim and distant stars in order to seek out new space which they could call home, far from the dangerous and war torn Sirius sector. Faced with mounting threats, both new and old, they took the difficult decision to leave with their families and seek their fortune elsewhere.
But not all embarked upon the great voyage. Some decided to stay in Sirius, and since their numbers were few they left their home of Omicron-74 in order to seek a new place for themselves and their families. Sensitive research and information was taken aboard their ships, being careful to leave nothing dangerous behind. The scarce few capital class vessels they possessed were formed into a core fleet to house themselves during their travels. The group grew as they were joined by zoners of all sorts, for all sorts of reasons, from across Sirius, and they took to calling themselves Phoenix.
Soon after the core fleet gathered they departed into the edge worlds but the word is that Phoenix built a secret outpost which functions as a temporary berth for the core fleet vessels, and as a place for delicate and dangerous scientific research. The outpost’s location is secret, known only by Phoenix members. With so many emerging threats around Sirius it was decided that keeping their activities secret would be key for their continued survival.
14 February 822.
Major part of the Phoenix fleet, led by Christian Burton, left the borders of Sirius sector. Shortly after this, all contact with them was lost. Those who stayed in Sirius did not know anything about the fate of their brethren. Remains of the fleet dispersed over all Sirius; someone became traders in Omegas, others explored the remote corners of Sirius. Maintaining rare contact with each other, they went down stream.
At dawn of 823 A.S., Admiral Theodor Frobisher got to the daring business of rebuilding the Phoenix. After a little while the admiral, thanks to his acquaintances and contacts across the sector, could get in touch with some of the former Phoenixes. A part of them were discouraged by impudence of admiral declaring his desire to restore the Phoenix, albeit with a number of reforms, but others fully supported him. Thus, a meeting was appointed on Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta.
Goals
Primary: • Find a safe and independent place for ourselves and our families to settle. Secondary: • Protect humanity against the nomad threat. The Order have been a stalwart ally against the nomads for many years, we will support them as best we can. • Promote the zoners way of life in Sirius. A mobile society is a free society. Therefore we shall offer low-cost space transportation for zoners, and those who wish to visit zoner settlements. We shall maintain our harmonious relationship with the Gas Miner’s Guild, ensuring a steady supply of H-Fuel for zoner vessels. • Embark on scientific research and exploration for the betterment of zoner peoples and all mankind. Bring life to virgin places as yet unknown. • Endeavour to help those less fortunate then ourselves, whether they be zoners around Sirius, or like-minded individuals in desperate need of help and freedom.
Core Fleet
The core fleet acts as our mobile head quarters and home, with our members living on board the vessels along with their families. Following the exodus of our friends and cousins to the far reaches of deep space, we currently have possession of only a few large capital class vessels. Each full member is trusted with the command of one capital vessel, should they wish it. The fleet keeps away from house space and overly populated regions, usually remaining in the Sigma, Omicron and Omega systems.
Code of Conduct
• We tend to stay away from politics. Any diplomacy, whether business or otherwise, should be kept quiet. Any trade or other dealings with so-called unlawfuls must remain hidden to so-called lawfuls and to others. • Members are encouraged to participate in group projects and to propose their own projects, and all such proposals will be discussed by the members and the leader. • Violence against humans is to be used only in self defence or to defend other zoners and our close allies. Nomads, however, should be driven off or destroyed. • Our relations with people we meet in space or through the neural-net must be always be cordial and polite to everyone. We endeavour to bring laughter to awkward situations. Humour is mandatory.
The structure of Phoenix is fairly simple, yet can be confusing to outsiders. All members are equal. Although Theodor Frobisher is leading Phoenix, important decisions are made together, with input welcome from all members.
If someone wishes to join our number, they are free to contact us in space. We’ll fly with them, talk with them about their hopes and dreams, their past, their life goals, the weather and other such things. If they seem like a nice enough sort, we’ll likely invite them to join us. New members are commonly known as apprentices, and will spend some time learning the ropes and getting to know everyone. When the leader deems them ready, they shall be initiated as a full member during a special ceremony, followed by a party with a free buffet, drinks and cake.
