Years ago, a group of independent commanders came together. We settled in a system in the heart of the Empire where we fought for its independence, for our ideals and lives. But we were outnumbered. Our democratic thinking was a thorn in the eye for the surrounding dictatorships. They attacked our stations, burned our outposts and destroyed our supply lines. Many of us died and we were forced to retreat and split up. Now we have formed up again and founded the ITR Corporation to develop new strategies, research new technologies and fortify our right for existence to make sure, that the legacy of our fallen pilots may live on!
