"A necessary shield forged in the void, protecting the innocent and confronting the darkness wherever it may rise" The frontier is vast, and resources are stretched thin. While the UEE Navy valiantly holds the line against the Vanduul, vast swathes of the 'verse remain vulnerable. Pirate activity in Stanton and Pyro is surging, and critical gaps in search and rescue capabilities require immediate attention. In 2910, five visionaries—from a former Navy Captain to an innovative ship designer—forged a solution to support the stability of the Empire. They created the United Military Coalition (UMC). We are a unified, independent force built on Teamwork, Integrity, and Communication. We operate in the grey areas of the frontier, working to ensure tyranny and crime remain low in all UMC-operated space. :scroll: Who We Are (The Lore) The UMC earned its reputation during the 'Crimson Void Incident' in the Elysium system. When a humanitarian flotilla was crippled by an energy fluctuation, a UMC rapid-response fleet bypassed pirate blockades and navigated hazardous anomalies to save lives before support could arrive. Today, headquartered in Area 18, we are a recognized force. We often operate in cooperation with the Navy and Advocacy against major threats, maintaining a strong presence where we are needed most. Led by Sector Generals, we coordinate military and relief operations across the systems. :dart: What We Do We are an Anti-Piracy and Anti-Xenothreat organization. Robust Security: Offering protection contracts to corporations and independent settlements. Search & Rescue: Deploying specialized fleets into high-risk zones. Proactive Defence: Engaging threats that slip through the cracks of established defences both in PvE & PvP engagements. :warning: Rules of Engagement (ROE) We hold our members to a high standard. We are the shield, not the threat. No Piracy: We do not attack neutral vessels for cargo. No Griefing: No pad ramming, no extortion. Cleared Hot On: - Players with CrimeStat 3+ (with bounty). - Anyone who fires upon UMC members or allies. - Known hostile forces (Vanduul / XenoThreat). :clipboard: Requirements & Expectations Real Life First: We are a community.
