Skunk Works [SKWK] - Organizations - Roberts Space Industries

History

Applications to Skunk Works are currently OPEN

THE BEFORE TIMES…

Skunk Works began as a detachment of the AXI (Anti-Xeno Initiative) , a highly specialized AX Squadron in Elite Dangerous. After becoming an independent squadron in our own right in Elite Dangerous. We quickly graduated from a community hosting AX Wing events to one of the best of the best squadrons of AX pilots. Fighting in the War of the Coalsack and the 2nd Battle of the Witch Head as well as the Three Nebula War. Each time securing victory alongside the human foces. During the disaterous release of the Odyssey Expansion we began seeking out new games to call home, and Star Citizen was what we found

THE FIRST FLEET

We changed focus to Star Citizen in 2021 and quickly grew in member-base and scope.

Our initial Structure was composed of distinct ‘combat branches’ – vast battlegroups of ships, ground and fighter branches alongside them. This structure, while seemingly making sense on paper, was just not something the current Alpha can make use of organically. There were some great times during the First Fleet, but getting combined arms efforts together was an uphill battle.

JUMPTOWN AND THE BIRTH OF THE TASKFORCE

During Jumptown, our recon element ‘the Rebel Racoons’ had experimented with the idea of self contained Taskforces comprised of Ships, Fighters and Ground Troops and limited to a server appropriate size. This worked extremely well at Jumptown and as a result of this the system was rolled out to the entire ORG.

Taskforce Gameplay was to allow for very organic arrangement of PVP events within the ORG – with Taskforces facing off against one another and always preparing for the day we will face outside threats in a more open universe

Today there are 6 Taskforces Operational within the ORG at present

POLITICS IN STANTON

Skunk Works have come to take a stand against the oppressive corporations Hurston Dynamics and ArcCorp, while supporting Crusader Security in taking down criminals. Ever building our strength and diversity with Combat/Logistics Branches to serve all disciplines

ORG Mission Statement

Grow a community worth joining
Train skills worth learning
Build a den worth defending

A Skunk is out for the den, but understands the value of cooperation and diplomacy, and is bound by their word.

A Skunk is adaptable. Failure, setbacks, adversity, and a changing environment are the crucible for their tenacity.

A Skunk understands that the law provides stability but rarely justice, and will work above or below it when that stability comes at the innocents’ expense.

A skunk is willing to help, but understands that “you should fix your own oxygen mask before assisting others.” Personal preparedness is a skunk’s way of life so that supporting the pack can be their way of life too.

Starting at the academy

When you start at the academy you will be placed into an appropriate Basic course according to your Star Citizen and general gaming experience level. As you complete your basic courses you have the opportunity to choose whether you want to join one of our Competitive PVP focused Taskforces, or the more Combined arms and role based Militia
