History
Brief
VIGIL’S history started in the Pyro system, as a small group of belters who wanted to make the space around them safer for their fellows around Terminus’ ring system.
VIGIL’S history is close to the roots of those they care about the most: the fellow people that VIGIL must rely on in order to continue operations. These are the miners, the salvagers, and the haulers and couriers that make day-to-day life in the verse possible.
As a small startup, we want to make a positive impact in the verse. Our game is not for just ourselves, but also to lend a helping hand when needed to those who may very well not even know us.
Be kind to the stranger.
FAQ
- What kind of org is this even?
We are newbie-friendly organization that while labelled as casual, still enjoys organized operations. We engage in a variety of activities ranging from mining and salvaging and even to piracy when we want to engage in more competitive gameplay loops. In other words, we kinda do whatever, while having a culture of helping our members to do what they want to do in the game.
- Timezone?
We play during EST [UTC-5]
- Do you only help others?
Of course not! We help ourselves and our org members too! We want to foster an environment suitable for a variety of activities! We aim to have weekly events (except during patch burnouts) and also want to help foster our own community!
- Is this a stream org?
While I (the org lead) will be streaming at times and I will be centering the org on my stream discord (with its own dedicated space), there is no obligation to watch me.
- Is piracy allowed?
As it stands now, piracy is in a bad state where there is usually little return and the majority of the frustration is left on the person hauling their goods. Piracy is fine while playing with us, especially when we just want to goof around. But do note that it may be better to just make a friend at the end of the day than ruin someones play session for what might amount to scraps. The gameplay loop is high risk—but only to people’s time.
- Are you LGBTQ+ friendly?
Absolutely. We respect everyone in our org and want to offer an inclusive environment for everyone to exist in. At VIGIL, everyone is an EQUAL.
- Uniforms?
Except when roleplaying in organized events, no!

Manifesto
The Verse is a dangerous place. Sometimes, things go wrong no matter what and you need some folks to lend a helping hand.
Whether you’re a miner, a salvager, bounty hunter, PMC, or anything in between — VIGIL aims to be your staging ground, your lifeline, and your outlet for making new friends.
What we do
VIGIL is a PMC where community and comradery is at the forefront of our mission. We want to help not just our own interests, but the people we meet along the way as well.
- WE HELP THE STRANGER
- Secure operations above dangerous POI, abandoned mining sites, and unsecured facilities.
- Facilitate public POI at hathor and similar POI.
- Deepspace/Known space escort and security. If we’re in a system and you mean no harm, we will protect you.
- OM point security
- Pirate eradication
- Operations: mining, salvaging, points of interest. We aim to be an active and busy community.
- (Sometimes) piracy. For when we want to goof around and PVP.
- Other games: because star citizen is not all we want to be. We want to be a greater community.
What we need
VIGIL needs a variety of individuals with various talents and access to gameplay loops.
- Fighter pilots are prized to us, and make a huge bulk of our PMC force. The more air presence we can have, the more we can make the verse a safer place.
- Capitol class ship owners are extremely prized. A capitol ship means we can have presence, which means we can start our operations to begin with.
- Marines—boots on the ground—to go into dangerous places and secure them, and otherwise acquire objects of interest. Sometimes, protections may require ground forces as well.
- Miners. No short of miners to help grow our inventory of materials and fuel our coffers.
- Salvagers. For when crafting comes, we will need raw materials.
- Merchants. To help manage storefront operations across different networks across the verse.
- Datarunners. In other words, scouts to find valuable ore veins, ship wrecks, and more.
- Medics. The best of the best, and most kind souls—you will go where danger calls, be it for org members or distress calls. We need you. And you will get your fix with us. (I know, medical gameplay is scuffed right now. We’ll make it work.)
- Anything else you think you can offer, we will take. Tell us about your personal talents in your application!
What we Offer
- We offer an opportunity for you to make ludicrous amounts of money. We have knowledge of how the market works and what people want and through our operations, you will be given a pretty penny of whatever loot we sell on markets.
- We offer a space for you to blossom as a player and engage in various gameplay loops. Need missions done but lack the firepower? Want to grind up that rep? We’ll help you get that shit done.
- A community where you can make friends not just for star citizen, but other games as well. I want us not just to be an org, but a gathering place of like minded, kindhearted individuals.
- An environment where you can learn the game as a newbie. Afraid to go to Pyro? Hell, afraid to take off from your hangar for the first time? We will get you flying, (even if it takes a few 1000m/s crashes into Seraphim Station to get it right)!
Rank Structure
Ranks pretty much serve no purpose other than to indicate who is responsible for administrative tasks, etc.

The base game. That’s it. And a working microphone to boot!
