In Astris Victoria Iacet — Victory Lies in the Stars. The 5th EXPG is a joint expeditionary force built around what makes Star Citizen worth playing — carrier ops, combined arms, and real doctrine. Founding members wanted. Come build something genuine.



History

The 5th Expeditionary Group was stood up in 2955 as a composite joint force under the United Empire of Earth, tasked with expeditionary operations requiring coordination across space, ground, and aviation domains.

What began as a concept — the idea that Star Citizen’s most compelling gameplay lies in coordinated military operations done properly — became a full organizational build. Doctrine was written. Standards were developed across every branch and specialization. Training pipelines were designed from entry-level recruit through warrant officer and leadership tracks. A chain of command was established with defined billets and clear authority.

The commissioning of the Warspite, an Idris-P class carrier with Type K upgrade kit, marked the unit’s transition from planning to operational capability — a flagship around which carrier aviation, fleet operations, and expeditionary assault could be built.

The 5th EXPG is now in its founding recruitment phase, seeking the personnel who will crew its ships, fill its billets, and bring the doctrine to life. The structure exists. The mission is clear. What’s needed now are the people.

Manifesto

We believe the best gameplay in Star Citizen comes from doing complex things well, together.

The 5th Expeditionary Group exists because military simulation — done right — creates experiences no casual group can match. The satisfaction of a clean carrier recovery after a contested operation. The confidence that comes from trained crews who know their roles. The weight of a rank that was actually earned through demonstrated competence, not just time served.

But structure without enjoyment is just work. We build systems that are deep enough to be meaningful and clear enough to be accessible. Our standards exist to enable coordination, not to create bureaucracy. Our chain of command exists so that operations run smoothly, not so that someone can pull rank. Training exists so that every member feels competent and confident, not overwhelmed.

We hold ourselves to a high standard — of conduct, of preparation, of how we treat each other. Toxicity, ego, and gatekeeping have no place here. What we value is reliability, willingness to learn, and genuine investment in the collective effort.

If you want to be part of something that takes the game seriously while never forgetting it’s meant to be enjoyed — you’re in the right place.
