The Commoners originally was founded as a small guild on Azeroth but quickly spanned across many universes.
Now, we are a casual bunch of space travelers who appreciate the smaller things in life. Dedicated to having fun, spending time with friends and maybe even getting a few UEC’s along the way.
After the disappearance of Senator Assan Kieren in 2638, a small group of individuals formed “The Commoners,” an organization that wished to lead by example the merits of a “true-democracy.” Their personal mission was to resist the over-bearing utilitarianism of the UEE by refusing to play the political games of all the other bureaucrats. However, the idea they became known for was a bit humbler in nature and eventually became the unofficial slogan of The Commoners: “By the People; For the People.”
The Commoners, under the leadership of Benjamin Reynor, grew in numbers and support across the universe until the overthrow of the UEE’s former regime. After Erin Toi was sworn in as the new Imperator of the UEE, there was no longer a need for The Commoners. The numbers of The Commoners began to dwindle and became nothing more than a couple of idealistic people ready to step forward again when the time was needed.
With the growing frustrations between the wealthy and impoverished and the Vanduul swarms becoming more active The Commoners decide they are now needed again. Two veterans of the United Empire of Earth Navy decided to form The Commoners. The Commoners can no longer wait for the bureaucratic red tape to clear before action is taken. UEE citizens are sufferings and the UEE’s inaction is unacceptable.
Due to their military background and the growing threat that the Vanduul present, The Commoners adopt a military ranking structure and are led by Admiral Methusulah and Rear Admiral Sporin. The military ranking structure is not a metamorphosis from their original goal but rather a reinforcement of their dedication to the ideologies they hold… “By the People; For the People.”
The Commoners are dedicated to having fun. While we try to take organized, strategic maneuvers both in and out of the pilot’s seat, we seek a fun, fully immersive experience for each member.
We believe in standing up for the little guys. Coming to the aid of someone who hailed us on the commlink is a regular occurrence; however, the space fuel wont pay for itself. To compensate for this we’ll gladly take on freelance work that spans from being the wingman to routine asteroid mining to helping analyze chemical makeups of plants discovered on new planets.
Our rules are more like guidelines.
