History

Non RP Section

——- What is the point of this organization? ——

We are going to basically try to provide members with the ability to do anything in the game that the game will allow you to do. Organization’s are just like a clan and are a way to work with other players to provide a more robust experience in the game. We will try to provide the foundation of organization by assigning the right people to the right jobs. You want to lead a division… hot damn give it a go! This game is about what you want to do, and we will support you with what resources this corporation has available at the time under a cool name and logo.

Like you we are gamers that want to enjoy the game. The idea behind Blackthorn is to kinda be the Raytheon ( the do it all ) and Blackwater ( a real world PMC ) of Star Citizen. We want to have a reason to have our hands in anything and everything and have the right people to do it.

Role Play?

Ya you can or you can just enjoy the game. If you want to role play then it has to feel real, well Blackthorn is the place that will allow you to do that…. but it’s not a requirement for members, it’s an option.

Today, Blackthorn is the largest and most diverse provider of risk management services, offering turn-key solutions to address our clients’ most complex challenges wherever they are needed around the verse.

Past Legal Issues

The legal department states that we must also include the following information in our public disclosure. At the end of the war Anvil and MISC attempted to incriminate Blackthorn with the darker side of the verse, claiming we were fencing stolen goods for the less than desirables in the verse. Specifics were never provided by MISC and Anvil could never prove that the serial numbers of multiple ships recovered by Blackthorn were stolen, and thus was forced to drop all accusations. Both companies later publicly apologized for the misunderstanding and the Grand Marshall himself spoke out in favor of Blackthorn. Noting that Blackthorn had served with honor during the war fighting in some of the darkest holes in the verse to ensure humanity’s survival.

Why Blackthorn

  • Decades of operational experience supporting the defense, intelligence, law enforcement, energy, maritime, aviation and critical infrastructure industries

Manifesto

Non RP Section

We are going to game our bloody hearts out doing whatever feels good and have fun doing it. We are going to try to do anything and everything we can.

PMC: If we can send mercs in to support a dic(K)tator, hell ya lets do it. If we are going to send in mercs later to take out said dic(k)tator… hell ya let’s do it. It’s about fun, and nothing is more fun that getting paid to smash someone else’s pixel clown.

Exploration: If we are going to explore new worlds and seek out new profits… hell ya let’s do it and do it in style!

Mining, trading, etc..: Hey we understand the basic needs of any civilization, if this is where you want to spend your time we will not hold against you, and if it’s of high value why not take a fire team from one of other divisions to watch your back.
The point of the organization is to be a matrix for centralization.

What we don’t want to do is sit around with our thumbs up our own arse without friends or resources to do anything.

The idea is to let people play in the org however they want… some will RP ( awesome makes us look good ), some will mine ( hell ya hump those rocks baby! ), some are just going to get their kicks out of killing pixel clowns ( ROFL dude you’re dead ), some of us will work behind the scenes to help other entities achieve their goals while making a profit in the process… this is what BlackThorn is about. We are a diverse family with a mutual interest to make a profit anyway we can.
