History

SYT Transport LLC was a freelance transport group founded by Sheng-ji Yang and Kael Ta`em in Year 7, Day 273. Success brought an ever-increasing administrative burden in running the company, so in Year 9, Day 248, the faction SYT Transport was created. SYT operates throughout the galaxy. SYT’s goal is to provide the affordable transportation of PCs, NPCs, ships, vehicles, droids, supplies and raw materials to factions and individuals to all points of the galaxy with no questions asked. To this end, SYT maintains a policy of neutrality in galactic political and military affairs.

Before the actual creation in year 9 SYT had another chance of becoming a faction. Akheton Vehicle Corporation was heavily expanding and needed a group to transport their vehicles to the public. Jenos Idanian, CEO of Akheton at that time, entered extensive negotiations with Sheng-ji and Kael but ultimately a deal could not be made. This was due to the fact that SYT's leadership wanted to give everybody in the group an equal voice. Although a take-over by Akheton would mean better pay and security for SYT members, it would also mean a name-change from SYT to ATS (Akheton Transport Services). Most voted against it as a testament to the utter stubbornness and independance of the freelance pilot, for better or for worse.

Upon Yangs untimely demise in Year 10 CEO Kael withdrew from public view, leaving SYT under effective leadership of Harnil Mantell and T`arn Fetherim but bad luck was to follow the young organisation. T`arn was murdered by a notorious pirate in that same year. Harnil died a year later when his flagship, the Bayonet Light Cruiser 'Gilded Horn', got caught in the gravity well of an Elrood star because of a navigational error.

Working behind the screens Kael set out a new course for the company and found new leaders. A Cerean named Algol Starrunner, Devaronian Nordin Mantell (Harnil's son) and a young woman named Darlene Bazinga are now leading operations on a day to day basis, supported by a group of loyal pilots.

Future

As small as SYT still is, the faction intends to become one of the most important players in transportation galaxy-wide. To this end SYT is building multiple income facilities to help finance day to day operation costs as well as being a haven for SYT personell. Also the construction and managing of Starports for corporations and governments throughout the galaxy will be a good way to gain foothold in one of the toughest trades around.
