	After the Pod Wars, peace fell over the Starlight Sector and the syndicate faded from memory. Stellar Vanguard Solutions began to receive fewer and fewer contracts, and the need for mercenaries all but vanished. Many groups requiring long-term protective personnel moved to directly hiring veterans of foreign wars, instead of renewing existing contracts. In response, SVS attempted to branch out, extending its services to include scientists, medical personnel, engineers, and in a last ditch effort: janitors. With such a renewed focus on civilian affairs however, the added scope and complexity proved to be too much, forcing the company into greater and greater debt. Once again, it looked bleak, with a divide forming within SVS, those that had wished to remain with NanoTrasen, and those who were strictly opposed.

	In ~~2165~~, following successful military careers a number of NanoTrasen senior military officials were offered a payout for their retirements. Along with this effort to downsize expenditures, NanoTrasen outright fired several senior staff who refused to take the buyout, effectively cutting their budget in half. Many of these individuals were veterans of the ~~old Kidan~~ War, and had made lifelong friends - and enemies within the corporation. Many, unable to return to civilian life, and with lifespans shortened due to extensive cloning, found themselves with the desire to once again make war. Through unofficial channels, and backwater deals, they would go on to found the newly named "Stellar Vanguard Solutions". This new company specialized primarily in training, offering, and deploying troops for mercenaries in the sector. Initially, SVS was massively successful, due to the ~~ongoing cold war~~, and ~~fears~~ of ~~future~~ conflict ~~which~~ burned in the collective public consciousness ~~following~~ the ~~recent Kidan War~~.		In 2408, following successful military careers a number of NanoTrasen senior military officials were offered a payout for their retirements. Along with this effort to downsize expenditures, NanoTrasen outright fired several senior staff who refused to take the buyout, effectively cutting their budget in half. Many of these individuals were veterans of the Intergalactic Clown-Mime War, and had made lifelong friends - and enemies within the corporation. Many, unable to return to civilian life, and with lifespans shortened due to extensive cloning, found themselves with the desire to once again make war. Through unofficial channels, and backwater deals, they would go on to found the newly named "Stellar Vanguard Solutions". This new company specialized primarily in training, offering, and deploying troops for mercenaries in the sector. Initially, SVS was massively successful, due to the coincidentally well timed Cygni Rebellion, and continued attacks from Gorlex Marauders on civilian ships. Fear of conflict burned in the collective public consciousness tensions from political turmoil mounted, and the USSP rose to power.

	It's impossible to say exactly why, but shortly afterwards, NanoTrasen saw a rather large exodus of employees. Through murky details and backwater channels, it has been uncovered however that many of these individuals left due in part to old loyalties outside of NanoTrasen. Further speculation shows many leaving to ~~form new startups~~, such as ~~Gorlex~~ and Cybersun. Other sources claim that better working conditions and higher pay drove the exodus, but either way, resentment was forming inside of NanoTrasen. Soon, NanoTrasen began to see an increasing number of accidents, and the dramatic loss of station productivity due to poor worker morale and spiraling corruption. This culminated in the "Cargonia Pineapple Incident" which took the lives of many crewmembers. It was during this time that NanoTrasen decided to focus on its resources on equipment, scientific research, and a robust military program. Part of this decision included rigorous selection processes, more akin to military training than workplace recruitment. In time, many stations were abandoned, with no personnel to take care of them.

=== The Beginning ===
In 2165, following successful military careers a number of disgruntled NanoTresan senior military officials retired. These departures were due in part to their dissatisfaction of NanoTresan's treatment of their employees, and actions taken during the Kidan War. Unable to return to civilian life, and with little life remaining from their previous lack of work-life balance, these individuals collectively founded a start-up named Stellar Vanguard Solutions. This new company specialized primarily in training and handling mercenary contracts, and was initially massively successful due fears of future conflict which burned in the collective public consciousness following the recent Kidan War.

During this time NanoTresan saw a rather large exodus of employees. These individuals left due in part to their loyalty to previous trainers and leaders, as well as hopes for better (and safer) working environments. Shortly afterwards NanoTresan began to see an increasing number of accidents, and even worse, loss of station productivity due to poor worker morale and spiraling corruption. This culminated in the Cargonia Pineapple Incident. It was during this time that NanoTresan decided to focus on its equipment, scientific research, and robust military. The decision to outsource station personnel was made.

Meanwhile, as peace fell over the Starlight Sector, Stellar Vanguard began to receive fewer and fewer contracts. The need for mercenaries plummeted, and groups requiring long-term protective personnel moved to directly hiring veterans, instead of renewing contracts. In response Stellar Vanguard tried to branch out and extended its services to include scientists, medical personnel, engineers, and in a last ditch effort: janitors.
