The Orbital Elite

The Orbital Elite is a formidable security defense force known throughout the Federation Spaceway for its honor, precision, and innovation. Funded by the Tagnara Guild's financial institution, the Telos Vault, the organization uses cutting-edge, military-grade technology to provide security and stability. Comprised of species from diverse backgrounds, the Orbital Elite balances strength with compassion and discipline with creativity, embodying a commitment to protecting those in need.

Established in 353HL by the Tagnara Twins, the Orbital Elite originated from a successful united fleet operation that dismantled the Golthmane Outpost. Funded through the Telos Vault, the initiative was created to be the premier defense force in the Federation Spaceway. Operating from a network of orbital security station outposts, they offered protection to planets against threats such as natural disasters, pirate incursions, and invasions in exchange for payment to the Telos Vault.

In 3277HL, the organization underwent a significant transformation under the leadership of Archon Rosha Tagnara, who took control of the Tagnara Guild following her father’s passing. Rosha, a visionary who disapproved of her father's oppressive methods, restructured the Orbital Elite from general peacekeepers into a dedicated security arm serving clients of the Telos Vault. During this rebranding, the Ark Destroyer Vynix was repurposed to become the Orbitarium Eliticus, the new centralized command center for the organization.

The Orbital Elite does not maintain a dedicated standing military in the manner of many other galactic powers. Instead, its primary instruments for defense, exploration, and diplomacy are its Orbital Elite Stations. As the Telos Vault's designated defense arm, the Orbital Elite is responsible for protecting member planets, patrolling system borders, and responding to threats. While the Orbital Elite Stations are heavily armed and their crews are trained for combat, their deployment is governed by strict rules of engagement intended to de-escalate conflict.

The Orbital Elite's organizational structure is hierarchical, designed for efficient operation across vast interstellar distances. The Advisory Board of Directors of the Telos Vault holds ultimate authority, authorizing funds for operations and approving major long-term financial directives. The organization's command center is the Orbitarium Eliticus, which serves as the nerve center for the entire network. Rather than a single headquarters, the Orbital Elite operates through its vast network of strategically positioned Orbital Outpost Stations. Leadership is structured as follows:

• Orbital Elite Chancellor: The highest-ranking member of the Orbital Elite, who reports directly to the Advisory Board of Directors.

• Orbital Elite Admirals: Oversee all fleet movements, mission assignments, and strategic deployment.

• Orbital Elite Marshals: Gather and analyze information on other powers and potential threats.

• Orbital Elite Officers: Manage internal security, vessel-based security detachments, and coordinate planetary defense forces.

• Orbital Elite Agents: Design, build, and maintain all starships, starbases, and related technology.

Recruitment and training are conducted through the Orbital Elite Foundational Training Course. This program was expanded under Archon Rosha Tagnara to include specialized divisions focusing on security, intelligence, and rapid deployment, ensuring recruits are prepared for a wide range of threats. The Orbital Elite is more than a military force; it is a symbol of honor, discipline, and unity. At its core, the Orbital Elite's function is an extension of its philosophy that stability is secured through properly funded defense.
