The Ecliptic Mercenaries are a military contracting organization once held in high regard for its services in the Settled Systems.
History
In its prime, Ecliptic engaged in contracts from both the United Colonies and the Freestar Collective, typically providing peacekeeping services in remote areas of the Settled Systems. These areas were challenging for the two prominent factions to deploy their military forces directly.
However, in a surprising turn of events, Ecliptic forsook its esteemed reputation. The reasons remain elusive, but this shift in conduct caused them to fall out of favor with the entire Settled Systems. Even the Crimson Fleet, a prominent entity, asserted that Ecliptic had breached specific pirate laws.
Recent Activities
As of 2330, Ecliptic mercenaries have garnered a reputation for their flexibility in accepting contracts, provided the price is right. They are often criticized and labeled as mere assassins for hire. However, it's widely whispered that both the United Colonies and the Freestar Collective continue to employ Ecliptic for clandestine operations.
