Description
The Alternative Elimination Commission was one of the smaller teams that seemingly produced a disruptive influence within the SR-A league in 2129, with an unusual fighter craft built for destructive purposes.

Formerly they were a quality evaluation center known as America's Evaluation Center within the US, checking any products soon to be released to ensure that they will not be faulty when put on store shelves. This suddenly changed during the 2080 Civil War where the CEO of the AEC was overthrown by a group of rebels blindly fighting corporations.

After the war, the one who succeeded the former CEO was Jones Richard in 2086, who had been looking at the early AG craze and SR-A League. Though he found the business to be profitable, some of the teams participating didn't seem to be of high quality to him.

They started 10 years earlier as a sponsor for various teams, willing to grant a bonus if they eliminated ships with a unique look than their team standard livery for unknown reasons. Triton Customizations, who helped made these possible, being their top priority. It’s often rumored that the AEC was able to hijack ships from the teams they’ve sponsored to destroy custom ships during an event.

With little success with their antics, Jones resorted to hiring former engineers and staff from 50Star and Xavier to create the Pluto, a craft able to eliminate most ships with relative ease. Though it barely passed the qualifications, their firepower was unmatched. When they debuted in 2159, they had pilots that focused on eliminating unique ships on the promise of wealth, not even reaching the top 10 in the leaderboard. They even went as far as staying behind to be lapped or flying backwards to eliminate pilots in the lead.
The more well-established teams showed their disdain for the new AEC, some changing their strategies to defend against them. Dreamtecht flew nearby the more vulnerable ships, Varas kept close with Xavier, 50Star and Ochari drastically improved their racing lines, and Crypto introduced deployable flares to mislead the AEC's weapons.

Simpleton had other ideas. Forming a partnership with Triton Customizations, they created a special edition of their F-72 model, gleaming in its special purple paint. Jones Richard, furious about the news, sent his own armed employees to raid and takeover Simpleton's manufacturing facilities.

This takeover however was not going to last long, as an official investigation into the AEC’s repeated offenses began following this raid, and the corporation had been revealed to have severe financial irregularities in their accounts. The AEC was immediately disbanded for its inability to pay its debts, and their staff given a 10-year prison sentence for threatening and approving violence and denial of freedom of speech. The mechanics were fined the costs of destroyed craft, which ran sky high. Jones Richard somehow disappeared before police could find him. It is likely that he took his own life to avoid punishment.

The signature craft disappeared from the factories, likely smuggled out before it was scrapped, but recently a young pilot emerged to have taken the craft in after the team she flew with filed for bankruptcy being eliminated countless times by the AEC. While she tends to space out, her performance on abandoned tracks proved to be very well. However, she does not wish to partake in the SR-A league with her own Pluto.

This team was the result of the events that unfolded in the BNG Discord. The ship's design is like that of a stealth bomber.

I like all the effort into making this craft both look nice but have an interesting backstory as well, very nice.
