History Manifesto Charter

History

Founded in 2955, the Interstellar People’s Navy began as a small circle of pilots who wanted something rare in the ’verse: a crew that valued people over clout and teamwork over ego. The name was a banner and a promise. We would stand with those who felt sidelined by elitism, turn strangers into comrades, and prove that solidarity could turn modest ships into a fleet with purpose.

From the first supply run to the first rescue beacon, our focus was practical and human. We shared fittings, split fuel costs, and taught each other the routes that paid. When a new player needed gear, someone stepped up. When a convoy needed cover, someone brought a gunship. These small acts of mutual aid shaped our culture more than any speech could.

To keep coordination simple and transparent, we formed the People’s Assembly, an open forum where plans are laid out and priorities are discussed. The goal is clarity, so every comrade knows where we are going and how to help.

Roles emerged to keep the wheels turning: coordinators for direction and harmony, ministers for key areas, officers for operations, foremen for the economy, and comrades at the heart of everything.

Over time the stories piled up: a stranded miner brought home by a last-minute rescue; a convoy saved by an extra escort; a training night where new pilots ended up leading the formation. None of these moments were grand on their own. Together they became our tradition.

Today the IPN is louder on comms and fuller in the hangar, still true to its founding idea: people first, teamwork over ego, and shared progress. We protect our own, welcome newcomers, and keep writing the small stories that add up.

Manifesto

We are the Interstellar People’s Navy, a cooperative, player-run communist organization built on equality, solidarity, and shared progress. We stand against elitism in the ’verse and fly, build, and have fun as a crew. Everyone has a voice here, and no one flies alone.

We run operations that reward teamwork and good vibes, from escorts and rescues to cargo and industry, exploration and training. We share routes and fittings, help each other gear up, and turn small wins into big stories.

Our strength is collective. Real life comes first. No grind quotas, no mandatory time sinks. Clear comms, mutual aid, and camaraderie over ego. Membership is 18 and over. Alts and other orgs are fine when they do not conflict with our operations or diplomacy; be transparent and we will find a friendly solution.

We keep things respectful and welcoming. Harassment, exploitation of members, sowing division, or leaking sensitive plans during active operations have no place here. Issues are handled fairly and transparently.

If you value people over clout, teamwork over ego, and progress over grind, join the Navy and add your voice to the Assembly. Let’s build something worth defending, together.

Charter

(Ratified by the People’s Assembly, 2955)

Chapter I: Basic Principles

Article 1. The Interstellar People’s Navy is a cooperative, player-run communist organization built on equality, solidarity, and shared progress. We recognize no authority higher than the collective will of our members and a common vision of a fair galaxy. The Navy acts with autonomy and sustains itself through the strengths, talents, and goodwill of its comrades.

Article 2. The IPN welcomes all who feel sidelined by elitism, whether in the lore of the ’verse or in everyday play. Our purpose is to bring players together in a supportive movement where everyone has a voice and a place. We reject hollow hierarchies of wealth and clout and commit to lifting each other up through team play, mutual aid, and fun-first cooperation.

Article 3. Our strength is collective. We succeed through trust, teamwork, and camaraderie, not ego. The Navy is a friendly crew bound by purpose. Our discipline helps us coordinate, protect each other, and make memorable stories together.

Chapter II: Organization and Structure

Article 4. The People’s Assembly is the highest forum of discussion and coordination. It is open to all comrades in good standing, each with an equal voice. The Assembly reviews plans, sets priorities, and upholds transparency in how the Navy acts.

Article 5. The President is the overall coordinator of the IPN. The President steers long-term goals, supports members and leaders, represents the Navy in diplomacy, and ensures our actions reflect our principles. The President remains accountable to the spirit and guidance of the People’s Assembly.

Article 6. The Premier serves as deputy coordinator. The Premier keeps day-to-day operations running, aligns departments, and steps in when the President is absent. The Premier focuses on smooth logistics and clear communication across the fleet.

Article 7. Ministers lead the Navy’s functional areas, such as logistics, diplomacy, welfare, events, industry, and intelligence. Ministers manage resources, organize activities, mentor new players, and report progress to the Assembly. Their aim is simple: help comrades thrive.

Article 8. Officers plan and lead operations, including escorts, raids, rescues, cargo runs, exploration, and training. Officers model good sportsmanship, teach newer pilots, and keep comms clear and welcoming. In-flight they command with purpose; out-of-flight they support as comrades.

Article 9. Foremen coordinate the industrial and economic arms of the Navy. They oversee mining, refining, hauling, repairs, crafting, and supply lines. Foremen help comrades gear up and keep our ships and ambitions fueled.

Article 10. Every comrade is essential. Regardless of role or seniority, members share equal dignity, the right to be heard, and the chance to contribute. We celebrate different playstyles and learn from each other.

Chapter III: Fundamental Rights and Duties

Article 11. All comrades may share ideas, feedback, and concerns. Constructive discussion makes us better. Respectful disagreement is welcome. Harassment and bigotry are not tolerated.

Article 12. We value commitment to IPN events and goals, and real life comes first. Alternate characters and other org memberships are acceptable when they do not create conflicts of interest during operations or diplomacy. Be transparent with leadership and we will find a friendly solution.

Article 13. The greatest honor is to take part and lift others up. We also believe in healthy balance. Play at a pace that brings you joy. There are no grind quotas and no mandatory time sinks. Show up, have fun, and help your crew shine.

Chapter IV: Community Standards

Article 14. We aim for a positive, cooperative culture. Behavior that consistently undermines teamwork, such as harassment, exploitation of members, or sowing division, has no place here. Coaching comes first, and clear boundaries follow when needed.

Article 15. Protecting our members and assets is everyone’s job. Serious breaches of trust, including leaking sensitive plans during active operations, stealing communal assets, or targeted harassment, will be reviewed by an impartial panel convened for the case. Sanctions may range from a warning to removal, decided transparently and fairly, with the comrade given a chance to be heard.
