Express Courier Services

Express Courier Services is a league of independent couriers that deliver goods across all colonial space. Reliable, honest and completely legal, E.C.S. couriers are the premier choice for fast mail and smaller, precious goods delivery. For a premium fee, E.C.S. agents also double up as information runners, carrying sensitive and encrypted data from world to world and colony to colony. E.C.S. couriers will also dabble in rescue jobs, and provide Fuel Rat crews that specialize in refueling or repairing stranded ships across the Stream. Both maintain their HQ at Embassy Ark.
These daring couriers aren't just space delivery professionals. They're also the fastest speed racers and adrenaline junkies in the sector. Every delivery is a new chance to set a new time, to find a new stellar shortcut, to minimize docking procedures. Bigger orders are split between contractors, at which point the job becomes a genuine race to who can deliver their part the fastest. The focus on speed and nimbleness has saved more deliveries than it has put in jeopardy.
Every cycle, E.C.S. aspirants must undertake a series of three trials : a rally between far-flung stations in dangerous hyperspace conditions, a sublight race around Embassy HQ, and a planetary race in the wide canyons of the The Proving station. The rewards are the fame that comes with being a successful courier and racer - as well as a sizable cut on every job.
The current record holder for running the Canyon Course in the bowels of the Proving is Amalien Liri at 5:30.223
