Manifesto

Ennead Union, also known more fancifully as the Union of the Nine Pillars of the Cosmos, is perhaps the most unique among the groups associated with the Cloud 9 organization, all nested within Cloud 9, Inc.

Ennead’s origin dates back to around the time of the inception of Cloud 9 and Cloud 9 Games. Although it went by a different name at the time and, perhaps this is the more evident part, its existence was not announced to the world, concepts for the group had taken initial shape.

Ennead Union is an org-of-orgs, is the parent organization in the Ennead Union Network, and has an external counterpart that functions in a more general sense outside of Star Citizen as a group-of-groups.

As an organization, Ennead aligns with Imperial Sports Federation, and makes the most out of the competitive denizens of the ‘verse by serving as neutral grounds where different organizations can meet and arrange activities and events.

The aforementioned Cloud 9 aspect of Ennead pretty much starts and ends with the founder. The C9 orgs will participate, however, along with other invited orgs, and all of the groups will leave their names at the door and form new groups within Ennead. Similarly, none of the Cloud 9 organizations or any other entities under Cloud 9, Inc., or any other organizations or groups, will have any direct leadership in Ennead. For that matter, even the leadership in Ennead Union will not technically be leadership. At least, not in the traditional sense.

At Ennead Union, we are a united nations for organizations and external gaming groups. All relevant aspects of Star Citizen apply. All online games apply. Being that this is the organization within Ennead, Inc., the main focus here will be on activities in the ‘verse. All participating groups that follow the rules are welcome. This is not the place to recruit, promote, or discuss other organizations or groups. It is a place to discuss games with our teams, with our teams consisting of multiple groups combined.

The premise: each group that participates may select 1 member to serve as an Ambassador. Ambassadors then coordinate with one another to plan multi-org and multi-group online meetups, after which teams are created. A historic and simple naming scheme is used for teams, colors. Red Team, Blue Team, and so on. Teams join their respective channels, using a chat server provided by Ennead Union, and then proceed to participate in Co-Op, PvE, PvP, and various other types of activities.

Instead of the traditional leadership roles, Ennead has a role called Custodian, which will be granted to individuals from different groups, never more than one from the same. Our Custodians help out with things in general.

More information will be provided at a later date, including the use of Egyptian Enneadic themes as naming conventions for intermingled org-agnostic groups, and details about three activity branches: Cooperative Branch, Competitive Branch, and Chaos Branch.

Although this organization’s activities in the ‘verse are on hold until we make progress with a few components of the Cloud 9 groups (C9, N9, CN, C9G), this group may begin to brainstorm ideas at some point in the time leading up to its activation.
