Asylum Mercenaries United / AMU

The AMU Mercenary Manifesto

I. We Roam, Therefore We Are (Armed)

We were born with wanderlust and weapon licenses. If there’s a moon to chart, a wreck to loot, or a shady figure to interrogate over whiskey and plasma fire, we’ll be there. Probably early. Probably with backup.

II. Contracts are Sacred.

If we take a job, we finish the job. Unless the client’s a total scumbag or forgets to pay—then all bets are off and their cargo might mysteriously end up “salvaged.” AMU doesn’t forget. Our ships may be stealthy, but our invoices are not.

III. Diplomacy First. Bullets Second. Grenades for Dramatic Effect.

We always try diplomacy. We’re smooth talkers—until words fail. Then, we introduce them to our good friends: Ballistic Benny and Laser Lisa. They don’t say much, but they get the point across—usually through shields.

IV. Exploration Means Going Where No Sane Person Would

We dive into the black, map the unmapped, and poke at ancient alien artifacts with sticks we probably shouldn’t have picked up. Curiosity killed the cat—but satisfaction brought it back (with loot).

V. Every Ship’s a Home, Every Bar’s a Base

Whether it’s a Carrack, Cutlass, or something cobbled together with duct tape and hope, we call it home. And if there’s a bar, we call it “HQ.” Bonus points if they don’t water down the Radegast.

VI. Zero Tolerance for Betrayal. Mild Tolerance for Shenanigans.

You cross us? You ghost in the black. You prank us? Expect your helmet filled with confetti on the next drop. We’re mercs, not monsters.

VII. Respect the Crew, Mock the Captains

We look out for each other, no questions asked. Except the captain. The captain’s fair game for jokes, duct tape traps, and pretending their orders are “suggestions.” (We still follow them… eventually.)

VIII. Salvage Isn’t Stealing if They’re Not Using It

If it’s abandoned, it’s available. If it’s “questionably” guarded, we call that “light resistance.” We didn’t make the rules—we just profit from the loopholes.

IX. Fly Casual, Think Tactical

We may joke, drink, and argue about whether “quantum travel” is just a fancy word for loading screens, but when it’s go-time, AMU rolls tight and hits hard. Plan smart. Strike fast. Loot faster.

X. The Verse is Vast—So Are Our Ambitions

We’re not just guns for hire. We’re pathfinders, rogue scholars, treasure hunters, and cosmic comedians. The verse is our playground. Our battlefield. Our story. And we write it in contrails and chaos.

Signed, Sealed, and Armed to the Teeth,

AMU Mercenary Charter

For Credits, Glory, and the Occasional Space Burrito

Preamble

We, the assembled misfits, marauders, explorers, and professionals of the Allied Mercenaries United (AMU), establish this Charter to outline our structure, purpose, and shared code of conduct. We may be wild, but we aren’t disorganized. Not that disorganized.

Article I: Purpose

To provide skilled, reliable, and delightfully unpredictable mercenary services across the known—and unknown—universe. Our objectives include, but are not limited to:

Contract fulfillment (preferably for profit)

Exploration of uncharted systems
Tactical support, bounty hunting, and rescue ops
Loot acquisition (legal or “technically abandoned”)
Drinking responsibly at irresponsible bars

Article II: Membership

Section A – Joining Membership is open to any capable soul who can shoot straight, fly crooked, or drink a Radegast without flinching. Probationary period: one mission and one bar fight (optional but encouraged).

Section B – Ranks
Founder – Commanders of chaos, decision-makers, and occasional targets of crew-wide pranks.
Admiral – Battle tested Star Citizen Veterans,. Leaders and Strategists. Trusted Advisors to the Founders
General – Trusted battle hardened mercs with the scars and stories to prove it and specialist skillsets.
Veteran – The workhorses. Blasters, hackers, medics, and pilots.
Regular – The rookie come good, reliable and has your back.
Rookie – Fresh meat. We mean that affectionately.

Section C – Rights & Duties All members have the right to:

Equal split of loot (unless otherwise agreed or lost in a bet)
Voice in major crew decisions
Mock the captain (within reason)

All members are expected to:

Uphold contracts (see Manifesto, Article II)
Respect the crew (even the weird ones)
Maintain operational readiness (clean your gear, charge your shields)

Article III: Command Structure

The chain of command is respected in the field. In the bar? Not so much.
Fleet Leader – Oversees all AMU operations. Rarely seen. Possibly mythical.
Mission Leads – Appointed per op. You follow their orders or end up floating.
Specialists – Crew with unique talents. If they say “don’t touch that,” don’t touch that.

Article IV: Code of Conduct

Betrayal is punishable by creative exile.
PvP is only for training or settling disputes. Or boredom. But with consent.
No leaving crew behind—unless they owe you money. Then it’s negotiable.
Shenanigans encouraged, sabotage forbidden.

Article V: Amendments & Voting

Any merc can propose changes. Voting occurs quarterly, or whenever enough people yell loudly in chat. Majority rules—unless the bartender says otherwise.

Final Note

We are not a government. We are not pirates (usually). We are not a cult (yet).
We are the AMU. We roam, we earn, we explore—and we do it together, in glorious, organized mayhem.
