The Second Chance Salvage Corporation is a salvage operation that constantly searches space for valuable loot. It is the premier salvaging operation within the Kikyo Sector. Second Chance Salvage Corporation is most known for its year salvage giveaways. In YE 43, it has started to branch out into other areas related to salvage.

Second Chance was formed by Nepleslians in Yamatai in YE 28 after the independence of the Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia. Its was primarily in the Xyainbor and Mwigflukbajik systems, where the Star Army of Yamatai and the Sfrarabla Mishhuvurthyar Xhrafuklurp (SMX) had massive battles. After acquiring salvage, Second Chance then brought it to a huge junkyard and warehouse complex on the desert planet of Valaad (An Rhy) or across the border to similar but smaller sales sites such as on Yicuqibu (then within the UOC). Yamataian customers could then purchase parts from them.

In YE 29, Second Chance's workers expanded greatly with Nepleslian Reds fleeing to Yamatai after the Kennewes Offensive. The majority of the employees are Reds or Red sympathizers that keep their loyalties largely hidden. While they support the Reds with monthly financial support (laundered through shell companies or just salvage not marked), they remain business first and Reds second.

Due to the way with the NMX, Valaad (An Rhy) was temporarily abandoned in YE 31 when the NMX invaded. Second Chance has long reclaimed their old facility and added salvage from that invasion to it. Due to the planet no longer being officially part of the Yamatai Star Empire, a new corporate agreement was signed with the local government where a sizable portion of new salvage goes to them.

With the Kuvexian War, additional salvage opportunities presented themselves. With the Kuvexian being near peer with the Yamataians, the Reds within the company would be able to pass on technology examples to the Reds without completely violating Yamataian laws. Though the fleet was in desperate need of upgrades to fight off other salvagers trying to score big.

In YE 43, at the end of the Kuvexian War a new processing plant and storage facility was established on Fujiko. It not only allows the supporters of the Reds to more easily give them access to outside technologies, it is also a very convenient location to drop and process salvage gained from Kuvexian wrecks.

With the expansion in services, the company reorganized itself as a corporation.

Currently Second Chance Salvage Corporation is divided into 4 divisions:

The division most individuals think of when they hear Second Chance Salvage. Those within the Salvage Division are tasked with both salvaging vessels on contract (usually the Star Army of Yamatai) and for non-contract salvage within and outside of State territories.

Not all within Second Chance conduct salvage operations. The corporation has a number of ships that provide towage to vessels on contract and to those distress within range. They also provide space ports with tugs.

When someone is in distress in space or a salvage target is not completely lost, the technicians and engineers of the Repair and Maintenance Division are called in.

The Administration Division contains everyone that keeps the corporation running and legal.
