Diplomats from the Old Families of Yawal, Rho Capricorni and Ngbato have been petitioning the central Imperial Council since 3308 for better representation and support in the remote enclave near the Rho Capricorni sphere. Despite raising motions to address incursions, health outbreaks and reduced ecomonic stability, the council have been loathe to commit to any kind of permanent presence or provide resources.

In exasperation at the lack of support from the central council, and with increasing pressure form nearby factions, the Old Families established a joint localised administration and security office on a shoestring budget. The adminstrative center is run by the Liberty Party of Ngbato where tithes are collected and redistributed to various commercialised support agencies.

The comically limited budget for these contracts has resulted in a most unusual roster of pilots. What this rag-tag, odd-ball defence force of ageing and disaffected CMDRs lack in spacefaring capability, they make up for in character and banter as evidenced by their unusual motto:

"For you we put on our special smile!"
