KOBATAMA era Founded by Doedi Gambiro on October 28, 1993, initially known as
Satria Muda, they began play in the
KOBATAMA in 1996 and advanced to the final four, but lost to
Aspac Jakarta and only got the fourth place after losing to
Bima Sakti Nikko Steel Malang. They got "the best newcomers" tribute award in 1996. In 1997, Satria Muda endorsed by
The Coca-Cola Company's
AdeS mineral waters, and the team identity was changed to
AdeS Satria Muda. The loss of the 1996 final four sparked the "Indonesian basketball el-clasico" between Satria Muda and Aspac Jakarta, especially in the grand finals since 2002. According to Dwui "Iboy" Eriano, they never won in the 1998 season. But, in 1999, when
Erick Thohir's
PT Abdi Bangsa Tbk began as the team's major sponsor, and changed the team's identity to
Mahaka Satria Muda, they recovered and defeated 2-times (1997–1998) champion
Panasia Indosyntec Bandung in the final four and dethroned the
Surakarta's
Bhinneka Sritex in the grand finals.
IBL era Satria Muda then made the jump to the
Indonesian Basketball League upon its foundation in 2003. A year later,
Bank Rakyat Indonesia, through its BritAma savings account, became the team's major sponsor, and the team identity became
Satria Muda BritAma. In 2015,
Pertamina became the team's major sponsor, and the team name became
Satria Muda Pertamina. It has won ten domestic titles (1999, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010–11, 2011–12, 2014–15, and 2018) and has also won the
SEABA Champions Cup in 2008 by dethroning

Asean pro basketball league, the
ASEAN Basketball League (ABL), which began play on 11 October 2009, but remained in the
Indonesian Basketball League. In the
ABL, it allows them to add two foreign reinforcements and up to three players from Asean countries. They finished third overall in the regular season standings and became the runners-up in the inaugural season of the ABL, losing to the Philippine Patriots 0–3 in the championship. For the 2010–11 season, Satria Muda fielded two teams, for the ABL and the domestic
NBL Indonesia respectively. The team competing in the NBL was composed of the 2009–10 ABL team, while the new ABL team was a mixture of new local players, Filipino imports, and American imports. ==Honours==
