‘Behold, around the bed of Peace, are sixty might men of the valiant of the Universe. All are armed with swords, trained in war, each with his sword upon his thigh, because of evil in the night.’

Requirements

1. A Sword of the Sixty is a man of honor and discipline. He does what is right and refuses the easy path to riches. He strives to be famous not infamous.
2. A Sword of the Sixty plays his game to have fun, make friends and practice doing right in a virtual space.
3. A Sword of the Sixty plays his game casually, but we may invite all Sixty Swords for a full 12 wing strike with the support of the Blades.
   A Sword is encouraged to take on a role-playing persona, but this is not required. His own personality is his best persona.
4. We ask A Sword to acquire for sake of our unique identity:
• ( Crusader Industries Aeon or Inferno as they become Flyable. For now: ) An Anvil Arrow : This is the Sword of the Sword. It is affordable, the fastest and deadliest out-of-the-box light fighter. (See below for other gameplay arcs that will involve a variety of ship types and missions.) Once Sixty Swords are in place, a discussion of a ship other than the Aeon, Inferno or Arrow may take place.
• An Aegis Gladius: For the same reasons above yet a little pricier. 10 M/s faster. Loadout changes from S2 to S3.
• A ship of choice that brings delight to the player of any size or use.
• A Sword can arm himself in any other way he or she desires. Officially, a Gallant or Demco worn in the place of his secondary weapon.
• ADP UEE arm armor to show our allegiance to the UEE. At first, any color the player prefers is acceptable, but as we grow and become a more organized force, each Wing will select a specific color of arm armor to distinguish it and bring it honor. There are over 12 colors of UEE armor. Theoretically, we could have a different color for each wing. This could substitute traditional military identifiers. The Sword is permitted to select any other armor of his choice, except those pieces that would bring the group ridicule or dishonor. For example, the goat-head helmet, etc.
