“We’re not the best equipped, and we certainly can’t pay you what the other guys can. You won’t earn any medals and won’t get any parades. Most folk won’t know you did anything at all. But out here, on the fringe, you might just make a difference…one life at a time.” Background Founded in 2944 by Nymera Shaw and a group of private investors, the Firefoxes are a small militia of privately-funded peacekeepers that operate between fringe colonies and remote star systems where the UEE military is thinly stretched. They are formed from ex-soldiers, traders, and fringe-world colonists wanting a better life without the slow-moving bureaucracy and corruption of the UEE government (though, the Foxes do not oppose the UEE in principle). Unlike most militias or PMCs, the Firefoxes try not to get involved in armed conflicts between major powers on either side; rather, they focus their attention on pirates and raiders at the behest of civilian clients. The Firefoxes are not the largest or most powerful organization in the verse, but they try to help people best they can and make an honest wage on the side, often trading their services for donations or equipment in lieu of credits. What do the Foxes offer? A close-knit community only possible with a smaller org, where most everyone knows most everyone else rather than being a face in a crowd. Active fleet leaders who have experience commanding multicrew ships into the heat of battle (via experience in ArcheAge and Allods Online). Leadership that understand the importance of allies, and wants to work closely with other Orgs for joint ventures! A smaller Org cannot always work alone. An open-door policy and transparency in all decision making. Talk to officers about anything, never be afraid to offer suggestions or criticism. A community of older mature gamers mostly in their 30s, who have been around the block enough times to avoid some pitfalls of running an MMO group. A less restrictive community; join other orgs too if you like, and feel free to leave at any time with no hard feelings. We understand that we might not be able to offer everything you want! A progressive group of individuals that won’t tolerate harassment of any members based on their gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or religion. Our Branches TACTICAL The primary branch of the Firefoxes is the fleet itself, made up of a hodgepodge of secondhand military hardware and civilian ships retrofit to be combat-ready. The tactical branch are the most combat-focused players, ready to protect and defend clients and allies alike. LOGISTICS Fleet logistics is the backbone of the entire organization. Everything from repair and rescue, to transport and refueling, the Logistics division works behind the scenes to keep the fleet in working order. Logistics players tend to prefer “support” roles, running repair ships, medical ships, or cargo ships. EXPLORATORY Comprised of the fleet’s long-range jumpships and scoutships, the fleet’s Exploratory branch patrol and explore the far reaches of the galaxy, bringing back valuable intel or escorting scientists as they explore uncharted new worlds. AQUISITIONS Merchants and couriers that support the fleet and fleet finances, the acquisitions branch deals with negotiating with outside deals and managing the economic side of fleet operations. More About Us We are a roleplaying Org, and how we function as a roleplaying Org is to weave stories based directly out of our in-game actions in the persistent universe. We would not be actively roleplaying during open PvP, as the quick and efficient coordination of our players is paramount in these situations. In social hubs and hangars, however, we expect to be a fully “in-character” organization. Our ranking structure blends both in-character and out-of-character responsibilities; for example, a character cannot be promoted to a leadership role unless they as a player are the best fit for that role as well. Your skills in the game as a player reflect the skills of your character (though your character may have additional skills that are not represented in the game as well). This only pertains to ranks and promotions in the Org; we are not going to be “RP police” for anything else. We plan to explore many different types of in-game activities, from bounty-hunting, to mining and industry, to deep space exploration; though the Foxes are a peacekeeping force and have a focus on stopping pirates and vanduul raiders, we handle all sorts of special missions as needed. We will not condone piracy, but it is expected that other organizations may become our enemies and we will have a list of “known enemies” our players may openly engage in combat as they see fit. Team play is very important to us, both in working as fleets and combining our preferred game activities to support the Org as a whole. We welcome people of all genders, faiths, and walks-of-life, as long as they read and follow our very short set of rules. We do ask that all members be over the age of 18 as the Org is intended for adults. Please note that we are an "LGBT+"-friendly Org. This is a place for people from all walks of life, and as such, we take harassment very seriously. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/orgs/FIREFOXES
