in late 2018 the Starcitizen minutemen merged into TRUTRC for the foreseeable future to centralize player to player contacts and to adapt to the ever changing flow of the community and gameplay changes. We decided to hold off any and all action due to unfinished mechanics and simply bide our time like most. We remain somewhat active in the game and observe the way the community handles each update and shift to gameplay and act accordingly. In recent months times have changed once again and we see the roles reverse between outlaw and legal gameplay and the importance of a independent, player driven militia still exists within the minds of many who play starcitizen. :Updated [2020] - THE STAR CITIZEN MINUTEMAN- Back in 2017 I and others within the outlaw, legal, pvp community came to the conclusion that someone needed to provide the base groundwork for a independent, counter marauder and greifer community similar to the minuteman historically and in Fallout 4. To commit our org forces and offer free training to non-combatants who are willing to learn, while fielding experienced pvpers who intend to play as bounty hunters to unite into a networked militia that actively protects the non-pvp'r side of the community in a effort to provide security and assistance to traders, explorers, salvagers and those in a tight spot providing they did not start the fight by their reckless action or behavior put themselves at peril. The minutemen aimed to be a entirely volunteer based as we all had our own reasons for joining. For some it was simply for the hunt and thrill of taking out pirates or greifers, others enjoyed the idea of the minutemen existing in starcitizen while some simply wanted to be part of it because of the business opportunities and mutual benefit the militia would create. Each of us in the Minutemen have our own style of gameplay and leadership and the minutemen was set up specifically to not get involved with or dictate how others should run their group, but to simply offer the opportunity to be part of something larger and in turn meet new people who shared similar goals to containing the more anti-social elements of the community by directly confronting them and eliminating them or encouraging them to leave the area so commerce can resume without concern or worry and get back to their business. The main objective and operation of the star citizen Minutemen: : To create a network of individuals who fly in multiple regions of space to act as a contact point for non-combatant players to report sightings or acts. Upon contact the minutemen representative would then relay the information across the network and alert all individuals to the threat and a militia would form up at a nearby system or station and go over all available information to decided between themselves the necessary proportionate action required to deal with the problem at hand. :Inside the minutemen there are no org politics or hierarchy, we either work together or we dont as no one individual "Including myself" or any group has the authority, power or position to dictate and as there is no official "Alliance" players are free to associate with whom they wish, providing they do not actively work against the group and seeing as the Minutemen is purely a coalition of individuals committed to being a "on call" response to any player, outpost, trade station or player owned base that operates within a non self serving manner any player or org can put their name to the cause, but we would rather a adaptive group of individuals than to have org leaders push their members into supporting the minutemen. The minutemen are not the police, far from it in fact as we do not have issue working with outlaws or pirates if it means peace and commerce can resume and some compromise is found between both groups, petty crime is not something we will respond to unless it is to fund groups known to cause trouble and if upon arrival or communication parties are not willing to talk things out, we are more than happy to remove un compromising individuals or groups raiding the region by force if necessary and offer no quarter to those who give none.
