Got Your Six [GY6] - Organizations - Roberts Space Industries

History

Got Your Six was forged in the fires of the 2947 Vanduul raids on the Orion system. A handful of retired UEE Marines—battle-hardened pilots who had flown together since the Battle of Tiber—watched too many squadmates fall because no one was watching their six. On the shattered deck of the damaged Idris Resolute, they made a pact: in the cold vacuum of the ‘Verse, no friend would ever die alone.
They chose the ancient military call “Got Your Six” as their name and anchored it in something deeper than orders or pay. Their creed became John 15:13: “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” In a galaxy where corporations sell loyalty by the hour and governments trade lives for territory, these men and women swore to live by an older standard.
What began as a tight-knit wing of eight pilots grew into a full-spectrum combat organization. From escorting medical supply runs through Pyro to spearheading relief fleets during the 2952 Orison refugee crisis, Got Your Six earned a reputation for showing up when everyone else jumped away. Their distinctive compass-patch—bullets, stars, and the open Bible verse—became a beacon for independent pilots and small corps who needed reliable backup without strings.
Today, under the leadership of its founding pilots (now grizzled but still flying), Got Your Six operates as a registered UEE-aligned militia with chapters across Stanton, Nyx, and the outer systems. We fly everything from hornets to Polaris fleets, but our mission has never changed: protect the vulnerable, honor the fallen, and always—always—have your six.
In the ‘Verse, friends are family.
And family doesn’t leave anyone behind.

Manifesto

In the black expanse of the ‘Verse, where empires rise and fall on the whims of corporations and lives are bartered for territory, a different light burns.
We are Got Your Six.
We did not form for glory. We did not form for credits. We formed in the fire of the 2947 Vanduul raids on Orion, on the shattered deck of the Idris Resolute, when eight Marines watched too many brothers die because no one was watching their six. That day we made a vow that still echoes through every jump point and every battle we fly: No one fights alone. No one is left behind.
Our creed is not corporate policy. It is not optional.
It is sacred.
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
John 15:13
This is not poetry. This is our operating system. In a galaxy that rewards the fastest trigger and the highest bidder, we choose the harder path — the path of sacrifice, loyalty, and unbreakable brotherhood.
We believe the ‘Verse is worth protecting.
Not just the rich systems. Not just the safe lanes. Every refugee convoy running Pyro, every medical frigate limping through Vanduul space, every lone pilot screaming for help on an open comm — they are why we exist.
We fly for them.
Our Values Are Our Weapons:

Loyalty — We do not abandon our own. Ever.
Sacrifice — We give first, ask later, and never keep score.
Brotherhood — Blood or not, once you wear this patch you are family.
Honor — Our word is iron. Our patch is a promise.
Protection — The weak, the outnumbered, the forgotten will never stand alone while we draw breath.

We are not mercenaries. We do not sell our guns to the highest bidder. We answer the call because it is right — not because it pays. When the sirens wail and the cowards jump away, Got Your Six jumps in.
This is our declaration to the ‘Verse:
If you are tired of flying solo,
If you believe there is still honor left in the black,
If you are willing to watch someone else’s six the same way you want yours watched,
Then stand with us.
We do not promise easy missions.
We promise something rarer:
A family that will die for you before they let you die alone.
We are Got Your Six.
We have your back — today, tomorrow, and into the last jump.
Enlist. Fly with us. Become the shield others can count on.
The ‘Verse is cold.
But together… we burn bright.
Got Your Six
2947 – Forever

Charter

Star Citizen Squadron
Established 2947 • Orion System
Preamble
In the unforgiving void of the ‘Verse, where loyalty is often measured in credits and lives are traded for territory, a bond stronger than steel was forged. Got Your Six was born on the bloodied deck of the Idris Resolute during the 2947 Vanduul raids. A brotherhood of warriors swore an unbreakable oath: no friend would ever fight alone, and no one would be left behind.
We are not a corporation. We are not mercenaries. We are a family of guardians bound by honor, sacrifice, and the ancient creed that defines us.
Article I – Name & Identity
The organization shall be known as Got Your Six (GYS), a registered UEE-aligned militia squadron operating across Stanton, Nyx, Pyro, and the outer systems.
Article II – Mission
To protect the vulnerable, defend the innocent, and ensure that every pilot who flies under our banner knows they have backup—always. We exist to watch each other’s six in combat, in crisis, and in the quiet moments between battles.
Article III – Creed
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
John 15:13
This is not merely a verse. It is our covenant. We live it. We fly by it. We die by it if necessary.
Article IV – Core Values

Loyalty – We stand with our own through fire and vacuum.
Sacrifice – We give without expectation of return.

Honor – Our word is our bond; our patch is our promise.
Protection – The weak, the lost, and the outnumbered will never stand alone while we draw breath.

Article V – Code of Conduct

Never abandon a brother or sister in combat.
Honor the fallen. Never forget their names.
Speak truth. Fly clean. No piracy. No betrayal.
Protect civilians and allies without hesitation.
Treat every pilot with dignity—until they prove they deserve otherwise.

Article VI – Membership
Any pilot of good character who swears the Oath may join. New members must:

Complete basic orientation and a live escort mission with a senior pilot.
Accept the Creed as their personal standard.
Wear the patch with pride and defend its meaning.

Oath of Enlistment
“I swear to watch the six of every member of Got Your Six. I will protect the innocent, honor the fallen, and lay down my life for my brothers and sisters if called to do so. So help me God.”
Article VII – Leadership
Led by the Founding Council (original 2947 survivors) and an elected Command Staff. All major decisions require consensus and adherence to the Creed. Rank is earned through action, not purchased.
Article VIII – Operations
We fly as escorts, rapid-response teams, humanitarian fleets, and strike wings when the need is just. We answer distress calls first and ask for payment last.
Article IX – Legacy
When one of us falls, the patch lives on. Their name is etched in our records, their memory carried into every battle. The squadron continues—stronger, because they taught us what it truly means to have someone’s six.
In the ‘Verse, friends are family.
And family doesn’t leave anyone behind.
Signed and ratified by the Founding Council

This Charter is the living document of our soul. It is not a rulebook.
It is a promise.
