Whistler Services was founded as Whistler Orbital Services in 2009 when the Toy Box launched into orbit from Germany.
Within one month of operation Danni Koslowski, a former employee of EADS Astrium, aquired the first long term salvage and satellite maintenance contracts with SES Astra, marking the beginning of the actual operation of Whistler Orbital Services.
As Stellvia happened to be 'out of the way' from the primary operation area of the Toy Box it was decided to build a station, named KA Preiswert in Semi-synchronous earth orbit.
Until 2011 Whistler acquired further large maintenance contracts with Eutelsat S.A. and Hughes Communications, and minor salvage contracts and good relations with various national space organisations.
Usually any salvage that is obtained during normal operations is refurbished and sold to various fen and factions, while other salvage is shipped to clients.
While nominally unaligned with Operation Great Justice during the Boskone War the SS Toy Box and other Whistler craft rescued several stranded spacecraft pilots and larger space ships, increasing the standing with most factions. Only a Boskone attack on the Toy Box in the late stages of the war caused Whistler to align with Great Justice.
In early 2012 the Board of Directors decided that it would be a good idea to split the company into two branches, based on different areas of specialization.
So Whistler Deep Space Services was slit of from Whistler Orbital Services, with Whistler Services becoming the Mother company.
In mid 2014 Whistler Containment Services joined the two other branches as Cuno Station on 4183 Cuno came online and began to produce a varied array of Intermodal and other containers.
Whistler Services is mainly aligned with a small Pulper faction, the Rhodanites.
Notable are good relations to various 'Dane corporations and space agencies as well as most of Fenspace.
