"Some things are worth more than credits. But credits help."

You don't know me. Not really.
But maybe you've flown through the slipstream of ships I've built. Maybe you've traded on stations I've helped retrofit. Maybe you've cursed my name when you saw the prices Guardian Authority slapped on a shield overhaul, only to thank me when it saved your life.

Name's Gym Halpern. I used to command the Celestial City, The Indomitable. Big ships. Big wars.
Now? I build ships for people who've been forgotten by wars.

And I'm reaching out to you—for something different.

The Offer

You show up to a closed-door meet and greet. No names, no guilds, no legacy IDs. Just you. I'll pay you for your time. Cold credits. Just for showing up.

What I'm offering beyond that... well, that's where it gets interesting.

If you've got a ship, I can upgrade it.
If you've got a crew, I can fund it.
If you've got loyalty—but no flag—I can give you a cause that matters.


I'm assembling a network—discreet, profitable, and purposeful.
Nothing official. No uniforms. No speeches.
Just work that makes a difference. Smuggling runs that save lives. Intel drops that break empires. Training that turns pirates into protectors. I'm not asking you to die for me, but if you want to live for something, I have something to offer.

The Deal

You walk away now? No hard feelings. No trail. No heat. In fact, help yourself to as much food as you like before you go.

You stay? You get access to:

• Custom upgrades for your vessel (off-book, top-tier G.A.L. tech)
• Resources and routes for safer runs
• Access to missions that pay in more than just credits
• A backdoor into something bigger

No binding contracts. Just the kind of agreement you don't want to break, because you know the value of it once you see it in action.

You'll know what you need to know. Nothing more. Until you earn it.

The Meeting

Encrypted coordinates will follow if you respond with the following code:
"NAVIGATOR'S CHOICE"

I'm not asking for heroes.
I'm building something for survivors, builders, and bastards who want to sleep better at night—without losing their edge.

You in?
