GOALS AND DRIVING FORCE
The driving force behind Odyssean is the intention to explore regions of space as yet unknown to humankind. This is our long-term goal and motivation. In order to pay for maintenance costs, we will undertake to solve your shipping needs, whether that is to move cargo, information, or passengers.
In our operations, we will employ the highest level of professionalism, attention to detail, and respect for the customer’s integrity.

Will there be any login-time requirements? Nope. That ain’t us.

Charter
Management and Leadership
The organization is run by CEO Thyrmyle Bellegar, who is also captain of the Freelancer-class transport ship ‘Ulysses’.
Any members bringing their own ships to the organization will at all times maintain full control and ownership of their own vessels. If a member’s ship is to be used in a mission, it will by default be captained by its owner. No member will ever have to turn the ship over to another member against their will.
If a mission calls for a ship crew of more than one person, such extra crew members will be selected from volunteers – no organization members will be forced to take part in missions against their will.
Crew roles will be assigned on a mission-to-mission basis. The assignments will be decided by the ship’s captain.
On a multi-vessel mission, one vessel will be designated as Lead Vessel. The captain of the Lead Vessel will have operational control over all vessels in the mission. (I.e., any other ships will be subordinate to the Lead Vessel captain for the duration of the mission.) This is to avoid confusion and facilitate command and control in the event of combat, and has no impact on the relationships between members once the mission is completed.
On legal accountability
When preparing a mission, a call for volunteers will go out either on live chat or through written comms. At that time, the following information will be given (at a minimum):- Type of mission (cargo haul, passenger transport, reconnaissance, etc.)
- Number and types of ships involved
- Legality of the mission
Once a crew member accepts and joins a mission which might be considered illegal in some regions, he/she will implicitly acknowledge and accept the risks of breaking the law.
