Freelancing
The Graves Collective handles hauling, bounties, salvage, and jobs that start with “technically” and end with a crime stat. We’re not saints, not corporate, and not broke. Usually.
History
OPERATIONAL POLICIESThe Graves Collective did not begin with a boardroom, a fleet parade, or some grand speech about changing the ‘verse.
It started with a handful of pilots taking the jobs that were available: cargo runs that needed protection, bounties nobody wanted to chase, salvage claims that looked only mostly dead, and contracts with enough fine print to make a lawyer sweat.
Over time, the crew learned a simple truth: the ‘verse does not care much about clean labels. A hauler needs guns. A bounty hunter needs cargo space. A salvage crew needs someone watching the radar. And sometimes, the difference between legal and illegal is who filed the paperwork first.
So the Collective became what it needed to be. Part freight outfit, part security crew, part salvage operation, part problem solver.
Today, The Graves Collective operates across lawful space and everywhere just outside it. We take legitimate work when the pay is right, less legitimate work when the math checks out, and we do our best not to ask questions we do not want answered.
We are not heroes. We are not saints. We are not here to save the system.
We are here to get paid, keep flying, and make sure our own make it home.
Manifesto
Get paid. Keep flying. Watch your own. Try not to die for someone else’s bad planning.
We are not here to sell anyone a dream about honor, glory, or becoming legends. That sounds expensive and usually ends with a memorial wall. We prefer practical work: hauling, bounties, salvage, security, and the occasional opportunity that becomes a crime depending on who survived to file the report.
We do not care if you are new, rusty, reckless, cautious, lawful, questionable, or one bad docking attempt away from an insurance claim. If you can learn, communicate, and back the crew when it matters, there is a place for you here.
The Collective is not built on spotless records or perfect pilots. It is built on people who show up, do the job, laugh at the chaos, and make sure the payout gets split before anyone starts pretending they had a plan.
We are not saints. We are not heroes. We are not corporate.
We are The Graves Collective.
Legitimate work. Flexible ethics.
Charter
1. Watch the crew.
You do not have to like everyone every second of the day, but when the job starts, the crew comes first.
2. Finish the job.
Hauling, bounty work, salvage, security, or something with a suspicious lack of paperwork: if we take the contract, we make a real effort to see it through.
3. Split the pay fairly.
No stealing from the crew, hiding payouts, or “forgetting” who helped. That is how people get spaced emotionally, socially, and possibly literally.
4. Do not start problems you expect everyone else to fix.
Bad decisions happen. Funny bad decisions happen. Repeated stupid decisions that drag the whole crew down are not a personality.
5. Keep comms useful.
Jokes are welcome. Chaos is expected. Screaming over callouts during a fight is how we all become debris.
6. Respect real life.
This is a game. People have jobs, families, schedules, and functioning levels of sleep deprivation. Do not be weird about it.
7. Do not be a dirtbag.
Trash talk the enemy, not your own crew. No harassment, no bigotry, no drama farming, and no making the org worse to be around.
8. Flexible ethics does not mean no standards.
The Collective may take questionable work, but we still expect members to act like people others actually want to fly with.
We are not here to babysit adults. We are here to get paid, keep flying, and have a good time doing questionable things with mostly reliable people.
