History
“Born in war. Built to save.”
The roots of Astral Rescue Command, or ARCOM, can be traced back to 2945, during the catastrophic Vanduul attack on Vega II. The Battle of Vega was one of the bloodiest conflicts in recent UEE history. As the Vanduul tore through local defenses, leaving devastation in their wake, a small group of UEE Navy medics and Marine pilots defied retreat orders to carry out unauthorized recovery missions deep behind enemy lines.
Over the course of three brutal days, these rogue operators pulled dozens of wounded soldiers and civilians from active combat zones. With minimal gear, no air support, and dwindling supplies, they earned the nickname “the Black Tags”—a grim nod to the increasing number of dog tags they carried home. Their actions didn’t just save lives—they redefined what battlefield medicine could be. The seed of ARCOM was planted in that fire.
Disillusioned by bureaucracy and the high cost of hesitation, many of the Black Tags left the military after Vega. But they didn’t leave the mission behind. In 2946, they formed Astral Rescue Command—a militarized, rapid-response medical force designed to answer calls others couldn’t… or wouldn’t.
From that point forward, ARCOM’s purpose was clear: get in fast, stabilize the wounded, and get them out—no matter the cost. They became known for executing complex extractions under fire, bunker breakouts, and deep-space recoveries in places like Stanton, Pyro, Nyx, and beyond.
Unlike civilian medical orgs, ARCOM is fully combat-trained and combat-equipped. Its members are proficient in ship-to-ship combat, ground assaults, zero-G recoveries, and live-fire triage—all while providing overwatch and support to allied medical teams. They don’t just fly into danger—they fight through it.
Today, ARCOM is one of the most respected independent rescue forces in the UEE’s outer systems. Their reputation is built not just on precision and professionalism, but on a single unbreakable promise:
“When the stars call for help, we answer.”
Manifesto
“Into the fire. Out with the fallen.”
We are Astral Rescue Command.
We are not a militia.
We are not medics hiding behind others.
We are both the shield and the scalpel—
Combat-tested. Field-hardened. Purpose-driven.
In the heart of chaos, when systems fail and hope flickers out,
we answer the call.
We fly into gunfire, not away from it.
We breach bunkers, not for conquest—but for extraction.
We do not wait for the smoke to clear—
because lives don’t wait.
We are trained in every discipline.
We fight in every domain.
We treat every life as if it were our own.
Whether ally, stranger, or outlaw—
we do not ask who you are. We ask where you are.
We are not motivated by glory, rank, or reward.
We operate in shadows, between factions, across borders.
We are the ones who show up when no one else will.
The last hope. The last flight.
The last line between death and survival.
Our gear is heavy.
Our hearts are steady.
Our mission is simple:
Get in. Stabilize. Extract. Repeat.
If you are looking for the easy path, turn back.
If you think rescue is clean, you’ve never seen real blood.
If you want to be the reason someone makes it home—
Welcome to ARCOM.
“When the stars call for help, we answer.”
