Inspired by the steadfast spirit of our namesake, Teddy the Dachshund, we blend disciplined gameplay with a nod to the ancient Roman legions. Our mission is to conquer the stars together, creating a legacy that endures in the vast universe of Star Citizen.

We value loyalty, respect, and the ability to balance fun with seriousness when needed. The Longdog Legion is open to all who share our ideals, regardless of race, gender, nationality, or background.

1.2 Officer Responsibilities

Officers in the Longdog Legion lead by example, embodying the values of loyalty, strength, and unity. They are responsible for mentoring new members, passing on their knowledge, and ensuring that all members adhere to the Legion’s rules and values.

In any public forum, including in-game channels, social media, and our communication platforms, officers are expected to act with respect, courtesy, and integrity. They must also ensure that the Legion’s Charter and rules of conduct are followed, taking corrective action when necessary, including suspension or removal of members who violate these principles.

Officers are also tasked with maintaining an inclusive and respectful environment, ensuring that all members feel welcome and valued. While our interactions can be candid and straightforward, all members are expected to engage with maturity and respect for others.

Respect for others is paramount. Extreme swearing, lewd discussions, and personal attacks are prohibited in our communication channels. Disagreements should be handled privately and respectfully. Members are expected to follow the directions of officers during Legion activities, and any disputes with officers should be escalated to the Imperator for resolution.
