Nobody built the 'Verse for the timid. The profitable systems (the ones with real ore, real salvage, real opportunity) don't sit inside the bubble of UEE protection and corporate insurance frameworks. They sit out past the boundary. Past Pyro's jump point. In the blind spots between what the law covers and what it ignores.
We work those spaces.
Containment Loss is an independent industrial operation for operators who understand that if you want something in the 'Verse, you gotta go out and take it.
Containment Loss was formed by operators who'd spent too long working for others: hauling cargo on routes owned by megacorp subsidiaries, selling refined ore at prices fixed by commodities exchanges that never once asked our opinion, flying Drake ships past RSI showrooms we'd never afford and never wanted.
We chose the fringe. Not because the core systems failed us (though they did), but because the fringe is where the work is real. Where a good crew, a solid ship, and the willingness to operate without a safety net translates into credits, autonomy, and survival.
We are Drake people, by temperament if not always by fleet. We believe in ships that work over ships that impress. We believe in crews over hierarchies. We believe the 'Verse belongs to those willing to go where it's dangerous.
Mining
Quantanium runs in Pyro, standard ore in Nyx and contested asteroid fields. We don't avoid the hot rocks. We've learned to work fast.
Salvage
Hull stripping, wreck recovery, component reclamation. There's a lot of history floating dead in the fringe systems. We give it a second life, mostly in our own holds.
Cargo Hauling
Supply chain work in systems the major freight companies won't contract in. Someone has to keep the outposts stocked. We charge accordingly.
Security
We protect our own convoys first. Occasionally available to protect others', at rates that reflect the actual risk involved.
Drake Interplanetary built its first factory on Borea because the economically embattled systems of Magnus offered something the UEE's homeworlds couldn't: room to operate without someone looking over your shoulder. We understood that. The fringe systems (Nyx, Pyro, contested space) are economically embattled by design.
We take that as an opportunity, not a complaint.
Nyx's Delamar is technically an asteroid, technically unlisted, technically outside normal jurisdiction. It is also home to a thriving economy, real infrastructure, and people who've decided that self-determination is worth more than the UEE's insurance umbrella. We agree. We work there. We call it home.
We're not looking for the most experienced pilots. We're looking for the right ones.
If you've run the numbers on a legitimate hauling contract and felt the quiet insult of a margin that assumes your life is cheap, you understand us. If you've sat in a Drake cockpit watching an Aegis formation pass overhead and felt something (not envy, something colder), you understand us.
We operate in dangerous systems because the return justifies it. We take care of our own because out here, there's no one else to do it.
File on RSI
Apply through the org page. It's the only channel we keep, and it's the only one you'll need.
We read it
Every application gets looked at by a person. We're small enough that there's no queue and nothing automated.
We fly later
We're not running scheduled ops yet. The 'Verse isn't built out enough to warrant it. Get on the roster now and you're crew when we spin up.
