Welcome to the United Commonwealth
In 2910 The United Commonwealth is founded as mutual interest security firm, tasked with protecting the Idris System from the ever increasing Vandal Raids that plagued the decade. We primarily operate as contractors, but eventually start seeking our own objectives within the system.
Our mission expanded in 2914 to include mining and manufacturing as privatization increased within the United Earth Empire during the delays with The Synthworld Project. We we’re able to start turning a profit on our overall operations in the first fiscal quarter of 2915.
United Earth Empire public support started to plummet at the turn of the decade as the disparity between the rich and poor has steadily increased. Scandals and corruption plagued the UEE government and the UEE was left economically drained. A clear divide in the classes started to form, and United Commonwealth seized the opportunity to expand our reach and declare ourselves as a sovereign entity in 2920. Soon after we began searching for new worlds to settle and exploit their resources.
Summary
We have our sights set high. The mentality here is that in order to have a large structure, you have to have a strong foundation to build it upon.
Every organization has to start somewhere. However, we believe that even in the beginning when numbers are small, the structure and guidelines for the organization should be set up so that it can be expanded and applicable for any size.
While we do not yet know all the intricacies of Star Citizen gameplay and the universe, we intend to have a rock solid structure in place before launch of the game so we can hit the ground running.
Membership
We are currently looking for members as well as candidates for middle and upper level leadership roles. The way our organization will be structured, it is best if members pick the field or job that they enjoy and become experts at it. Are you someone who has a narrow desire in the game and just want to concentrate on one thing? You would be perfect to be placed in our division and be able to get out of Star Citizen what you truly want and be a part of a great support system.
We have limited rules at this point, but the main points are:
• We will not condone or tolerate piracy in any way.
• You must be able to work together will your fellow members and leaders.
• Newcomers are the life-blood of every organization. Current members must be respectful to all visitors and potential recruits.
Application
1. Apply here on the organization page
2. Register on our Website (Please use a similar name to your SC character)
3. Join our Teamspeak: ts.uchq.org and talk to one of our members and let them know you are interested in joining the org and they can answer any questions you might have.
The United Commonwealth will be a well planned and diverse organization.
Structure
The main leadership at the top of UCOMM will be the Council and will consist of approximately 7-9 members. The purpose of the Council is to hold regular meetings and decide the general mission of UCOMM and make major decisions regarding the entire organization. Within the Council, the Executives (Consisting of a President and at least one Vice President) will be figureheads for the organization to lead and keep the Council on track.
Below the Council, the entire organization will be based on a military structure. Members will be assigned a division that best suits their abilities/wants. Ranks within that division will also define what that person’s responsibilities are.
The main divisions are:
Note that a member can only be a part of one division. However, that does not keep them from taking part in another division’s activities and many missions will require different divisions to work together. Members may switch divisions with approval from a supervisor, but they might not necessarily keep the same rank. Keep in mind that members in “less desirable” divisions will have an easier ability to promote.
Life Comes First
We understand that people have responsibilities, careers, and lives outside of Star Citizen. If you have time conflicts that interfere with Star Citizen or your relationship with the organization, we are more than flexible and can work with you around your personal schedule. That being in mind, please be considerate of limitations in your schedule when taking on roles of varying degrees of responsibility. If you tell us that you will be able to do a job, we expect you to do it. If you can’t, that’s fine, but you need to be up front about it.
Other Games
While we are all excited about the launch of Star Citizen, realistically, we still have a while before the game is out. We want new members to still hang around because we do play other games in the meantime. We are trying to build a culture and a community before the game launches and we want to get to know you and vice versa before the game comes out.
