Varangian Pride [VPS] - Organizations - Roberts Space Industries

History

Discord link- https://discord.gg/aPzDXDT

Once we were loyal servants of the UEE, we fought for all of humanity as we had been taught to all our lives. Yet we began to see the corruption that the Empire had fallen victim to. The Senate was destroying all that the Emperors of old had built. We were purged of our ranks and shunned as traitors, hunted relentlessly.

Escaping the clutches of the so called United Empire of Earth we’ve carved out our place deep in the stars, waiting, for when the time comes to bring back the Empire to its former glory, we will be ready.

The Varangian name comes from an ancient Earth unit of imperial guards. They were Viking raiders hired by the Byzantine Emperors to be their personal bodyguards. These men were loyal to the Empire, and valued gold and glory above all else. We will carry on that tradition.

Manifesto

Our primary focus is boarding. We want to be the most dreaded encounter in space. As kindly as we can, we will take cargo and ship alike. We will pursue profits by many means, filling our coffers and building an empire.

Want to join The Pride?

We are looking for dedicated PVP focused players who want to excel in all forms of combat (currently FPS and dogfighting). You can be focused on one aspect or be versatile. But we expect dedication to improve in terms of skills, teamwork and results. It will not be easy in the void. That being said, we are not exclusively PVP.

You may apply but we will ask that you join our Discord to get to know you first.

Life on the edge

Considering the activities we are fond of and how the UEE does not take too kindly to us; we will be living on the edge of known space, in proximity to lucrative mining, salvage and exploration opportunities. We have divisions dedicated to these various activities and more for the financial benefit of The Pride and its members.
