Executive Order 000: The Founding (33030712)
From the opening ceremony of the Red Star Line at Crook Hub, Toolfa System,Thank you, ladies and gentlemen for gathering here today to celebrate this event which shall bear fruit for our future. My name is Alucard, President of the Red Star Line. Yes, I know what you must be wondering, “Why is his name Dracula spelled backwards?” Well, honestly I don’t know as you see my mother pereshed in a cruise line accident in 3288, the Communing Star Accident. However, my name has never prevented me from achieving my goals. And, today is a goal that I only wish my father could have lived to see come to fruition.
It is my great pleasure to announce the opening of the Red Star Line. This line shall bring peace and prosperity to any planet that desires our services.
Service, that is our primary function. This function is our foundation. This foundation shall have our house built upon it. And, in this house, we shall have a family. A Red Star family. What is now just a handful of commanders, who have braved the expanses of space many times before, shall soon grow into numbers as numerous as the sands of a desert.
Hm, Galnet has been updating us on information of these aliens, the Thargoids, and the threat they pose. However, do not fear, for the Red Star Line’s Paramilitary Combat Unit or PCU will be there to protect any man, woman, or child who calls upon it.
We may only have 12 ships now, represented by the 12 stars on the left of our banner. But, soon, every civilian in the known populated areas of space will be able to look from a planet, dock, spaceport, and outpost and see our fiery Red Star Liners. They will feel sense of peace, prosperity, and protection.
Wherever the metaphorical Red Star flag flies, these values will be in quick succession. Starting here at Crook Hub in the illustrious Toolfa System where our headquarters will be located.
Thank you, again, ladies and gentlemen. I now propose a toast to the Red Star Line’s Vice President, Mr. David, who will be in charge of economics and the newly opened Red Star Bank. He is my right hand, he can do anything I can provided I give him permission.
To the Vice President!
I now propose a toast to the Red Star Line’s Chief of Staff, Commander Sovereign. As Chief of Staff he is charged with providing us with the most recent intelligence regarding the Thargoids and possible new trade routes. If you need the Red Star Line or you wish to conduct business, you may contact him.
To the Chief of Staff!
I now propose a toast to the commanding officers of the Red Star Line’s Paramilitary Combat Unit, Commanders Anderson and Chernobyl. They are tasked with providing combat aid and support not only to Red Star Liners, but also to any civilized world or civilian vessel that needs it.
To the protection of others!
I now would like to propose a toast to the first purpose built vessel of the Red Star Line, the RSS Vanderland. May she set a path for other Red Star Liners to follow.
To the Vanderland!
I now propose a toast to our commanders who will spear head this great line into deep space. May there travels and ventures benefit the Red Star Line and all of humanity.
To the commanders of the Red Star Line!
Yet again, man that’s starting to get old, thank you ladies and gentlemen for gathering here today to celebrate this monumental occasion. Now, let’s cut the cake and christen the Vanderland and enjoy the wine and champagne as well.
