In 844 Nangt Parban's starport of Naz Reiol was destroyed by Alekhine naval forces, forcing a relocation to Phyllis' Surrender(NE Middle Beyond).
In 863, however an enterprising captain named Tres Iolilk discovered and established relations with the non-human Sred'Ni. Iolilk was able to make TB the sole shipping contractor with the Sred'N1 Heptad and their colonies. With this new alliance TB changed its named to Webrunners, with a corporate logo of a silver starship on a golden web on a dark blue circle. Enriched, Webrunners moved their headquarters to Serenity on Araniopa(Araniopa subsector).
In 903-907, Webrunners gained revenge on the Alekhine Syndicate by a massive smash and grab campaign against AS shipping. Also rebellions were financed and support with arms, resulting in the successful revolt of El Uqsor. In 908, Webrunner dilpomacy brought the Mal'Gnar into open war with the Alekhine Syndicate. The Mal'Gnar decimated the AS fleet at Hel in 909. With the conquest by the Mal'Gnar of Hel(909) and Shequonor(910), the Alekhine Syndicate faded away.
In 934, Webrunners received letters of marque from the Zydarian Codominium, an arrangement profitable to both parties..
In 927, after an undeclared war of three decades, Webrunners signed a treay of alliance with the other great league of corsairs, Dark Goddesses. This alliances includes mutual defense, use of bases, and exchange of data.
Webrunners includes members of all races except the Sred'Ni. A high percentage of crews, however come from Die Weltbund(15%), either as refugees, outlaws, or political offenders.
Current subsectors of operations for Webrunners are Zydar, Middle Beyond,I-Glathriel, I'Sred'Ni, NE Middle Beyond, & Araniopa.
There is mutual hostility between Webrunners andBeaufort Lines over Beaufort vessels lost in the Zydar subsector.
Die Weltbund Navy has standing orders to fire upon Webrunners vessels when indentified since 923.
Other than Voringest on Araniopa, Webrunners do not run or own any starports. They prefer to place as many Operations Centers as possible throughout thr Beyond's subsectors. What bases they do have are leased from planetary or national governments.
Unlike Dark Goddesses, Webrunners make it a policy to invest in stock in various shipyards throughout the Beyond. They do share the benefits accrued through these investments with Dark Goddesses.
Webrunner personnel when not disguising themselves effect a chocolate brown vest & beret, both adorned with the Webrunner logo.

Non-humanoid personnel usually wear the company badge.
