History Manifesto Charter

History

Trade & Traverse started the way a lot of good things in Star Citizen do—out of necessity and a random act of kindness.

nocturnalraven was running cargo when a pirate decided to make them their target. Forced to land on a nearby moon to save both ship and cargo, they thought they’d made it out. Then the pirate found them, torpedoed the ship on the ground, and left them stranded, hurt, and very much screwed. A distress beacon went up, not expecting much. XiXGoldeyXiX was the one who actually showed up.

That rescue turned into a solid friendship, regular play sessions, and eventually the realization that they wanted their own space in the verse. Not a rigid hierarchy or a hardcore roleplay guild, but a community where players could trade, haul cargo, mine, fight, and explore without the drama—just genuine mutual support and a laidback approach to whatever the verse throws at us.

Trade & Traverse brings together traders, haulers, miners, explorers, and pilots of every experience level. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or just starting your journey in the verse, you’ll find a home here. From cargo runs to mining operations to deep space exploration—we’ve got something for everyone looking to make their mark among the stars against all odds!

Manifesto

Trade & Traverse was built on players helping players. We believe in having each other’s backs, being decent human beings and decent crewmates, and keeping things relaxed, collaborative, and drama-free so everyone can actually enjoy the game instead of navigating org politics or tolerating toxic nonsense.

What We Stand For:

  • Mutual Support : We have each other's backs. Whether you're stranded on a moon or learning a new loop, you're not alone.
  • Respect & Decency : Basic human courtesy isn't optional. Treat people well or find another org.
  • Relaxed, Drama-Free Environment : No rigid hierarchies, no mandatory attendance, no elitist gatekeeping. Just a chill place to play the game your way.
  • Zero Tolerance for Toxicity : Stirring up drama, antagonizing members, or acting like an insufferable ass will get you shown the door. We're here to enjoy the verse, not babysit egos.
  • Learning & Teaching : Failure is part of the process. Teaching is valued and celebrated. Star Citizen is intimidating—we're here to help you figure it out without judgment.
  • Everyone Deserves a Shot : New player or veteran, casual or hardcore, if you're willing to be respectful and contribute positively, you belong here.

If you’re looking for a home where you can be yourself, learn at your own pace, and contribute without the drama—you’re in the right place.

Charter

Leadership

Trade & Traverse is managed by a team of five moderators who handle org operations and maintain community standards:

  • nocturnalraven
  • CrossCrow
  • Koningnz
  • ArchSilver
  • VEF

Decisions are made collectively by the mod team. Community polls may be held when appropriate for larger decisions. Any moderator action taken with personal motives or abuse of authority will be investigated and resolved by the remaining team.

Membership

Applications are open to all players. Discord membership is mandatory—we don’t use Spectrum for org communications.

There are no activity requirements. As long as you’re a real person and not a toxic moron or a bot, you’re welcome here. Play at your own pace.

Rules & Conduct

  • Respect is non-negotiable.
    Basic human manners, etiquette, and courtesy apply at all times.
  • No griefing. Piracy is fair game.
    Griefing other players is not. Just because the game allows it doesn't mean we accept it here.
  • Don’t be a dick.
    Whether you're representing the org in-game or chatting in Discord, common sense and decency are expected.
  • Zero tolerance for toxicity.
    Drama-stirring, harassment, antagonizing members, or generally acting like an insufferable ass will result in removal.

Removal & Bans

Moderator decisions regarding kicks and bans are final. Grounds for removal include but are not limited to:

  • Toxic behaviour or harassment
  • Griefing other members or players
  • Violating basic conduct standards
  • Being a general nuisance to the community
