The Jupiter Guild is a Zoner affiliated group of mercenaries and traders who have chosen to stay independent from every other cooperation and mercenary outfit. Over the years it has grown to become a large and powerful player on the mercenary market and in the transport sector.

History

The Jupiter Guild was created by a group of ex officers of the Liberty Navy prior to the nomad war. They started a small time mercenary outfit that operated in Kusari and the Border Worlds. With second hand ships and small time jobs they grew slowly, but ever so steadily.

The real growth came when the Wildcards Mercenary outfit joined the Jupiter Guild. The numbers almost doubled and they grew more rapidly, getting an increasing number of high paying jobs. The Free Trade Federation, a small time escorting outfit subsidized by Interspace Commerce, joined the group and as such they had access to high paying escort jobs.

This growth did not go un-noticed to some independent traders and as such an arrangement was quickly made for them to use the tag as long as they supported the Guild financially.

Shortly before the war between Bretonia and the Kusari house erupted the Guild moved its headquarters from Roppongi base in Tokyo orbit to Planet Gran Canaria in Omega-49. This strategic move ensured the neutrality and the security of Guild operations throughout Sirius.

Soon after, the Guild was contacted by the Zoner Council to assist them in the defence of Freeport 11 against nomad assaults. Being successful in this operation, they signed a long term contract to assist in the defence of all Zoner bases throughout Sirius against any hostile actions from anyone, anything and or faction/group.

The terms of this contract were: Assist any and all Zoner ID'ed vessel in distress Protect and serve all Zoner bases that come under attack and or have a high possibility of attack. Police the no hostilities zone around Zoner bases in times of conflicts to ensure the neutrality of the Zoners.

In return the Guild received: Full operating and basing right on all Zoner bases throughout Sirius as well as the right to call the Guild a true Zoner guild.

Members

The members of the Jupiter Guild come from all walks of life and all kinds of backgrounds. Still many Ex-Navy members join the ranks from all 4 major houses. As the Headquarters on Planet Gran Canaria a lot of Ex-Zoner patrol pilots have joined the ranks in search for action but the Guild also has a small minority of operatives straight from the Border Worlds.

Since newer recruits come from all over Sirius, some prefer to keep their IFF transponders as reminders of previous occupations. Though some members keep them, it is preferred that a Zoner transponder be installed. Due to this, many pilots have been spotted with Interspace tags for instance. The result of such diversity, having many come from seperate houses, is an un-enforced transponder policy; the only requirement being that it is indeed a lawful transponder to avoid confusion and open conflict with authorities. (//Where transponder refers to TAG not ID)

Science Division

The Jupiterguild sponsors a small crack team of scientists, of whom are tasked with designing new technology for the Guild. One of their latest breakthroughs(if not the only) was the Artificial Intelligence module for the heavy support units(gunboats). Currently 3 of these units fly under the Jupiter Guild flag. The Science Division is currently in the process of designing a superior bomber, and is expected to be completed in the near future.
