The Argus Initiative was formed by former Federal Navy Officer, Quintus Valtam Aurelius, with the aim to create an independent faction that will focus on mankind's efforts in exploration, trade, anti-piracy and xeno-defence.

In the year of 3305 during the midst of Federation proxy rule in Valtam, rampant corruption, stagnant economic growth and over capitalization plagued the system. This led to an uproar and rioting against the Federation rule. Quintus seized the opportunity to push The Argus Initiative's ideals and agenda. This quickly gained popularity and saw the rapid rise of influence amongst the people of Valtam. Quintus used this newly found popularity for The Argus Initiative to consolidate power and quickly established a centralized independent navy to ensure that the Initiatives authority was unchallenged.
This fleet is known today as the Argus Defence Fleet.

The people's distrust with common politicians led to the creation of the Argusian Charter where Quintus believed that the military is the only way to ensure political parties are kept in check. The Charter surrenders the executive and constitutional powers to the military as to form a cooperative fused with militarism, where The Argus Defence Fleet possess the power to veto any law, bill or resolution proposed by the Initiative if it is in anyway, counter intuitive to the ideals or benefit of the Argus population.

The Charter also states the initiative as an independent faction, adopting the foreign policy of deliberate ambiguity towards the Federation, Empire and Alliance as a means of maintaining neutrality.

Since assuming control of Valtam, the Initiative oversaw significant economic growth, prosperity and order leading to its influence spreading to nearby systems. This newfound stability has led to economic prosperity in the region.

In a daring and heroic mission, Quintus was killed in action whilst leading the Defence Fleet into combat against a Thargoid Incursion in 3306. His son Marcellus “Maro Reaver” Aurelius assumed control of the Fleet whilst Clementine Kent, Quintus’s second in command took over the Initiative.

Both the Argus Defence Fleet and The Argus Initiative seat of power are based out of Dalton Terminal in Valtam.
