Pyro Freelancer Corps [PFCS] - Organizations

History

The Pyro Freelancer Corps was founded in December of 2020 by Devoid and his father, RevAthiest. It was their aim to see a group come together for the sake of playing the game, having fun, and growing together without the drama that often comes with guilds and clans in games such as this. It has been the mantra of the PFC since to honor the time of their members and colleagues, as what little free time people have, they are choosing to give to us.

As time moved on, the underlying ideology remained steadfast, and the Corps has come to their own as a premier place in the community to gather and be happy. Through a vigilant “open door policy” and no requirements for fleets or time commitment, the group that has grown has been one of true passion and friendship, and has cemented its foundation built on mutual respect.

Manifesto

Pyro Freelancer Corps is an anti-UEE Federalist Organization. Our goal is self sufficiency and the eventual downfall of the notion of company-owned planets and star systems. We believe the system upon which systems like Stanton are governed is heinous. Democracy has been allowed to die, but the PFC will not let that take their honor.

As law enforcement agencies across the universe continue to uphold the corrupt and unjust laws protecting those who seek to tyrannically rule over the free peoples which inhabit it, Pyro Freelancer Corps steps up to combat them and do what is right while protecting and governing the people of Pyro to the best of our ability, assuring liberty to all who inhabit the system.

Where we specialize in arms dealing and ground based combat, as Freelancers, our skills range far and wide. Maintaining industrial autonomy is paramount in our operation. Though, for a little coin, theres no job too small.

Charter

Article I – Purpose

The Pyro Freelancer Corps (hereafter referred to as “the Corps”) is a group of individuals who have come together to provide aid and support for one another in performing both legal and less than legal ventures. The Corps’ primary purpose is to provide a fun and engaging gameplay experience for its members as well as breed self sufficiency as game features are released.

Article II – Structure

The Corps is structured as a paramilitary organization with a rank structure based loosely on old earth navies.

2.1 Rank Structure

Fleet Admiral – Fleet Admiral is the second admin-level rank, fourth officer rank and highest rank overall. This rank is reserved for the founders of the Corps. Fleet Admirals overlook the entire operation of the Corps and maintain all responsibilities of all underlying officers, as well as any additional duties that may present themselves.

Admiral -Admiral is the first admin-level rank, third officer rank, and fifth rank overall within the Corps. This is the highest rank a non-founding member may reach. This rank is reserved for those the Fleet Admirals trust to oversee the Organization in their absence. Admirals word is final, overruled by none but the Fleet Admirals. Maintain the highest responsibility within the Corps, including all Captain duties as well as:
-Taking steps necessary to prevent inter-organizational hostility, including removing non-officer members from the Org and the Discord channel.
-Active participation in structuring the Corps as membership increases.
-Will be tasked with leading one or more Divisions as more gameplay features (Salvage, Mining, Farming, Piracy, etc).
-Performs any other necessary actions within the Corps to maintain smooth operation.
-May be assigned specific tasks or duties by Fleet Admirals as seen fit.

-Active recruitment duty in between personal play sessions and events.
-Active authority within the Corps, mitigating squabbles and other disagreements with grace.

-Active participation in planning events hosted by the Corps.
-May be tasked with other duties as admin-level officers see fit.

Commander – Commander is the first officer rank in the Corps, and the third rank overall.

-Wearing PFC uniform full time.
-Seizing opportunities to recruit players when they are presented.

Lieutenant – Lieutenant is the second rank of the PFC, and is for newer members who have had a significant play session with an officer, or for other members which may not choose to commit to an officer role. Lieutenants maintain no official responsibility in the org, aside from wearing the PFC uniform when playing in events where the Corps is participating.

Ensign – Ensign is the first and lowest rank after officially becoming a member of the PFC. Reserved solely for new members who have yet to have a meaningful play session with an officer, Ensigns are few in numbers. Though it is asked, Ensign members are not required to wear the PFC uniform, and maintain no official responsibility within the Corps.
