White Knights Syndicate / WKS

ABOUT

White Knights Syndicate (WKS) is an umbrella / meta organization, which has other organizations as members. WKS is a place to discuss common issues, share information, and meet other good forces in an informal atmosphere.

VISION

We believe that we are stronger together. Even if the bonds are loose it’s good to know you have a friend. Maybe that friend will help you out in a tight position someday, or maybe he (they) want to go exploring with you. Anything is possible. WKS’ role is to make it possible to meet others, so you can talk and make friends. Perhaps also make strong bonds with someone.

We want to provide a place where you also can make business with other organizations. Perhaps you need escort for your hauler, or issue a bounty on some pirate’s head? Information is always useful and sometimes for sale, if you can find the right guy.

There are thousands of organizations in Star Citizen. Many of them are similar to your own org. But how do you find them, if you want to? Yes, you can use the search function on RSI but it could be like trying to find a tree in the forest. Maybe it’ll be easier to find it in WKS!

WHO WILL WANT TO BECOME A MEMBER

WKS want members that want to help people in the game, for money or free. It’s the attitude that counts. Does your org. contain upstanding citizens with good moral? Is old fashioned chivalry something you want to be known for? Do you hate griefers, pirates, and other other bad guys? Are you representing a peaceful org. which does trading, exploring or similar, and need some contacts with muscles and fire power to protect you? Does your org. want to settle down in a system near other, similar, orgs? Do you seek more contact with other good forces in the universe? Are you a security org. which has a lot to offer?

If you answered yes to one or more of these questions then your org. is welcome to apply for membership in WKS!

MEMBERSHIP

Any organization can become member, as long as it doesn’t allow its members to do piracy, slave trade, or other unlawful activities. Due to RSI’s method of organizing member structures, we can’t link other orgs. directly as members. Instead, your org. appoints a representative to become member of WKS. Normally this representative would be your org’s leader, but any representative is acceptable, as long as your org. agrees.

The member organizations remain 100% independent and WKS has no power over its members, other than the membership itself. There are no mandatory commitments, taxes, or fees for members.

All full members in WKS are equal. Meetings are held in a round table fashion. Any decisions made in meetings are advisory only.

As a member in WKS you have access to common resources. WKS will make available a database with security information. Members can also offer their own services to other members, make alliances, or agree on deals. You are free to talk about anything with other members, wether it’s business or private.

WHAT WE OFFER

• A place to meet
• A marketplace
• An informative security database

WHAT WE CAN DO TOGETHER

It’s only limited to our fantasy what we can do together or do for each other. Here are some ideas.

• Have meetings, discuss issues which concerns many.
• Do business, sell services, exchange information.
• Talk with other likeminded people.
• Meet new friends and business partners.
• Make new alliances.
• Find a good place to be in the galaxy, near other orgs.
• Keep the WKS database updated with relevant information.
• Relax in the bar, or attend a WKS party.

Members decide in common what the real content will be.
