History
The Galaxy Cadets: An Accidental History
I. The Era of the “Forever Solos”
In the beginning, there was no banner. There was no discord, no hierarchy, and absolutely no interest in “synergy.” The founders of what is now the Galaxy Cadets were the server’s drifters—hardened solo players who survived on their own terms.
They were the players who muted global chat when recruitment spam started. They were the ones who refused to join the mega-alliances, preferring the difficulty of the solo grind to the politics of an Organization. To them, “Org” was a four-letter word that meant mandatory meetings, tax rates on loot, and listening to a power-tripping leader.
II. The Joke That Went Too Far
The Galaxy Cadets did not begin with a handshake; they began with a punchline.
Legend has it the group first coalesced during a massive server event where “serious” organizations were recruiting aggressively. Annoyed by the pretentiousness of groups with names like The Void Lords and Shadow Syndicate, a handful of random solo players in the same zone decided to band together purely for satire.
They chose the name “The Galaxy Cadets”—a title that sounded like a tutorial faction for players who didn’t know how to reload their weapons. Their “uniform” was the default starter gear. Their plan was simple: mock the big orgs for one weekend, then disband and go back to being solo.
III. The Birth of the Motto
The turning point came when this chaotic swarm of “Cadets” managed to accidentally outmaneuver a major alliance blockade. The alliance leadership was furious, demanding to know who authorized the attack and who the Cadet’s commander was.
Because there was no commander, the response in global chat wasn’t a diplomatic envoy. Instead, dozens of individual Cadets, all realizing the irony at the exact same moment, flooded the chat with a cheeky parody of high-stakes political drama.
Line after line scrolled by: “The Cadets send their regards.”
It stuck. It became the calling card left behind in the wreckage of every engagement. It was the ultimate insult: being taken down by a group that wasn’t even trying to be a group.
IV. The Modern Era: Organized Chaos
Today, the Galaxy Cadets have evolved. We are forced to admit that, by definition, we are now an Organization. We have a roster, we have a reputation, and we (regrettably) have a logo.
However, the spirit of the “Random” remains the core of our DNA. We are a collective of solo players who realized that playing alone is better when you’re doing it together. We are a haven for the player who hates being told what to do.
We aren’t the Lords, the Kings, or the Gods of the server. We are just the Cadets. And when you see us coming, you already know what the message will be.
Manifesto
THE GALAXY CADETS: THE UN-MANIFESTO
Established: By Accident. Motto: “The Cadets Send Their Regards.”
Preamble
We, the undersigned, didn’t actually want to sign anything. We are the drifters, the lone wolves, and the solo captains who grew tired of the Verse’s politics. We formed this group as a joke to mock the self-serious mega-fleets, but unfortunately, we were too good at it, and now we’re stuck here.
We are the “Anti-Org.” We are a standing contradiction. We are the Galaxy Cadets.
Article I: The Solo Paradox
We recognize that the strongest ship in the verse is friendship… just kidding. The strongest ship is the one with the biggest guns. However, we acknowledge that a swarm of solo players is deadlier than a regimented fleet.
The Principle: You are the Captain of your own ship. You fly how you want, when you want.
The Reality: We fly solo, together. When one Cadet is engaged, the swarm descends. We don’t need a commander to tell us to fire; we just know a target when we see one.
Article II: The Hierarchy of None
We reject the bloated ranks of traditional organizations. We have no “Grand Admirals” demanding you salute, and no “High Council” taxing your loot.
No Mandatory Meetings: Real life comes first. If you have to go walk the dog in the middle of a raid, go walk the dog.
No Saluting: If you call someone “Sir,” you will be mocked.
Rank is a Joke: We are all Cadets. Some of us have just been Cadets longer than others.
Article III: Weaponized Incompetence
Our greatest strength is that nobody takes us seriously until their shields are down. We embrace the “Cadet” persona.
The Tactic: Let the enemy think we are a disorganized group of confused newbies.
The Trap: Lure them in with our “stupidity,” then dismantle them with the skills of a thousand hours of solo survival.
The Aftermath: Leave them wondering how they just lost a capital ship to a group of randoms in starter jackets.
Article IV: The “Code”
We do not have laws, but we have a vibe.
Don’t be a jerk. (Unless it’s to the enemy).
Protect the Swarm. If a Cadet calls for aid, answer if you can.
Keep the Joke Alive. Never let the organization become the very thing we swore to make fun of.
The Declaration
We are the Galaxy Cadets. We promise nothing. We demand nothing. But if you cross one of us, you cross the whole swarm.
The Cadets send their regards.
Charter
I. MISSION STATEMENT
The Galaxy Cadets exists to provide a home for the homeless, a fleet for the fleetless, and a collective for players who despise collectives. Our mission is to prove that a swarm of coordinated solo players is more dangerous than a regimented fleet of followers.
We aim to explore, exploit, and combat the Verse on our own terms, maintaining a reputation for being professionally unprofessional.
II. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
The Cadets operate on a “Flat-Earther” hierarchy—meaning the structure is almost entirely flat. We do not believe in bureaucratic bloat.
1. The Founder (GalaxyGlider)
Role: The Cat Herder.
Responsibilities: Managing the Discord, paying the server bills, and pointing the swarm in the general direction of trouble.
2. The Cadets (Everyone Else)
Role: The Swarm.
Responsibilities: surviving, looting, and backing up fellow Cadets.
Note: Tenure is respected, but it does not grant you the right to boss people around. You are a Cadet on Day 1, and you are a Cadet on Day 1,000.
III. RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
We may be “randoms,” but we aren’t savages.
1. The “Open Fire” Policy
We generally do not fire first unless the target is a known hostile, a rival org member, or looking at us funny.
However, once fired upon, the response must be disproportionate. If they scratch your paint, you take their hull.
2. The “Regards” Protocol
Upon the successful destruction of a hostile target, rival fleet, or salt-inducing enemy, it is customary (though not mandatory) to deliver the organization’s signature: “The Cadets send their regards.”
3. Loot & Salvage
Solo Play: What you kill is yours. What you find is yours.
Group Play: Loot is split evenly among active participants. Ninja-looting from fellow Cadets is the fastest way to get kicked.
IV. MEMBER CONDUCT
We have low standards, but we do have them.
1. Real Life Supremacy
We recognize that you have a job, a family, or a cat that needs feeding. Real life always takes priority over the game. You will never be penalized for logging off during an OP because your kid is crying or your dinner is burning.
2. No Drama
We formed to escape the politics of large organizations. Do not bring politics here. If you have a problem with another member, settle it in a duel or block them. Do not clog the comms with grievances.
3. Self-Sufficiency
While we help each other, we are not a nursery. You are expected to know how to fly your ship, manage your gear, and not die to the environment constantly. We will revive you, but we will also laugh at you.
V. RECRUITMENT & DISMISSAL
Recruitment
We do not headhunt. We do not spam invites. Membership is gained by flying with us, surviving with us, and realizing that we are the only group crazy enough to tolerate you.
Dismissal
You may be removed from the Cadets for:
Excessive toxicity toward other members.
Spying for “serious” organizations (why would you bother?).
Trying to enforce mandatory attendance or tax rules.
VI. RATIFICATION
By flying under this banner, you acknowledge that you are an independent contractor of chaos. The Galaxy Cadets are not responsible for ship insurance claims, prison sentences, or vendettas incurred while spamming our motto.
