YKE Technologies (YTEC) is an Independent Research Corporation that specializes in Human-Thargoid relations. The organization's primary goal is to bring an end to the Second Thargoid War through peaceful means. YKE Personnel primitively communicate with the Thargoids through a variety of non-hostile exchanges, including routine Meta Alloy deliveries. A majority within the organization believe that it is possible to negotiate a treaty or cease fire, which would inevitably save more lives and end the ongoing conflict.

The organization was founded in early May 3308 by CMDR Dylan D and CMDR Fenrisúlfr. Initially, YKE Technologies aimed to provide support and assistance to novice pilots. At this point in time, YTEC policy was essentially non-existent, which led to several logistical failures throughout the initial Incorporation stage. On May 18th, 3308, the YKE Network was established, which led to rapid growth for the organization. The Board of Directors was initially formed by the founders of the organization, with each director being assigned to the original four sectors: Trade, Defense, Expedition, or Mining. As more commanders applied to work in these sectors, logistical integrity was re-established.

On July 12h, 3308, YKE Technologies was finally able to incorporate in HIP 69738. Notably, the Pilot's Federation mysteriously denied YTEC requests to incorporate within the Mech system. Little is know as to why the applications for entry were denied, as the system itself appeared to meet all known requirements.

Members of this organization are representatives of a Corporate Entity and are seen as such in the eyes of the law. Representatives must strictly abide by both Corporate & YKE Network Policy. Coordination is vital to both the physical & informational integrity of YKE Technologies.

YKE Technologies operates a total of three fleet carriers, ranging in classes:

  • [V4W-L9N] YKE Albatross, owned by CMDR Dylan D

  • Multiple Diamondback Scouts bearing the 'SVI' identification code were spotted in the Uncenii system. This nomenclature is used by the secret enforcement wing of Azimuth Biotech, Black Flight. Its chief duties involve monitoring for Thargoid activity, and preventing the public from discovering any Thargoid-related sites and technology by any means necessary. Pilot reports indicate that the encounter took place within a Convoy Dispersal Pattern signal source; Threat Level 4. Fortunately for YKE Tech, footage of the encounter was captured and returned to Coppel Base.[3]
