History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The strangest story in Imperial or Regency corporate history. In the aftermath of the First Solomani Rim War, SolSec discovered that the Verge Connector was poorly defended by the Third Imperium against outside intrusion or espionage. Using a number of front companies, a spy operation codenamed "Crosshairs" was established in nearby Hlakhoi sector under the cover of the Aslan Hierate.

For security reasons, the only connection between these "cutouts" was a network of Transstar subsidiary companies operating legitimately within the border region between the Hierate and the Solomani Confederation. Crosshairs was successful enough at penetrating Imperial security that the operation was expanded into a major courier and espionage network running through the Hierate, jumping the Rift, and terminating among the minor client states of the Trojan Reach and Beyond Sectors. An information and assistance channel was even opened up between SolSec and the Zhodani, though that never panned out the way the two groups had hoped.

The breakout of the Imperial Civil War caused a feverish increase in operations for Crosshairs. Its "backdoor" into the Federation of Ilelish gave it a front row seat into the main battlefront of the war, and its agents were only too happy to launch provocative strikes against both Lucan and Dulinor. As the war dragged out, contact was made with the growing opposition in some parts of the Federation to Dulinor's increasingly authoritarian rule; evidence exists that a sizable amount of support for the Verge Secession came from Crosshairs. But by that time serious rifts had developed within the Solomani leadership, and the position of Solomani companies within the Hierate was being compromised by the dragging out of the Civil War. Several SolSec operatives turned freelance, or came into contact with interested Imperial factions, as a means of their own survival.

Around 1121 a number of operatives stationed among the Human client states BTC were induced into defecting to the Domain of Deneb, and they brought their spycraft and diplomatic experience with them. Several Crosshair operatives helped to negotiate the safe passage of the Arrival Vengeance mission through the Aslan Hierate, and their success encouraged other critical SolSec operatives to seek out employment or safe haven within the DoD. By 1128, DoD intelligence had parasitized the entire courier network with double agents under the auspices of Operation Unicorn. This network became critical during the early months of the Collapse, permitting an uninterrupted diplomatic and information contact with the Aslan Colonies, and in the evacuation of vital Imperial personnel and materials via the Verge Connector. The network even evacuated a number of Solomani, Daibeian and Ilelishi naval personnel from Magyar and Dark Nebula sectors.

The shortage of starships that ensued within the Regency created a new utility for the former Crosshair personnel. The courier network was institutionalized as a public company, using the Transstar name, and was immediately put to work in helping coordinate the Abandonment, and effectively managing starship distribution during that difficult period. When the Abandonment ended, the company was semi-privatized and subsidized, and became a universal service company intended to maintain starship distribution and reliable freight service until enough starships could be built to restore profitable private service. It has been noted that Transstar Deneb has supplanted Imperiallines Deneb as the Regency's primary support and courier service, as it larger freighter hulls are easily convertable into auxiliary warships and support transports for Quarantine service.

Transstar Deneb is headquartered from Mora, but maintains offices at most Regency A and B class starports. The company maintains a general freight and passenger office, a courier and express cargo service in conjunction with the X-Web, and a "public service" office that works with the Regency military and intelligence services. The company retains strong ties to the security services, and most of its higher executives and nearly all of its crews are ex-military. About twenty percent of its fleet is in the RQS or Naval Auxiliary. In recent years the company has slowly abandoned the universal service decree of its original charter, and has begun positioning itself for expansion into the Wilds pending approval from the Regency Senate.
