Hello! We are a guild for and by explorers. We remain largely unaffiliated with any and all organizations – that means we are completely neutral, until someone attacks us, in which case we’ll defend ourselves. Our neutrality extends towards all parties, including pirates and mercenary bands.
Core Aspects
We’re a guild because we specifically want to avoid the traditional corporate structure. We’re comrades associating with each other to further the trade of exploration with a dedicated core as foundation.
Structure hasn’t been decided yet, but we’ll probably have some elected central council. More might arise depending on how the game will work.
We’ll have some central main outpost somewhere as the main embassy to the other players.
Membership
There are two tiers for members. Please note that the exact differences are due to change as time passes.
Associate Member: For those who only want to dabble with us. You’re free to heed to any other organization, but when you are on a Guild mission, you’ll play along as if you were a full member.
Full Member: For those who want to be part of the core group. This means that the Guild is your sole affiliation. You’ll have deeper access to our maps and a higher level of trust for missions that require discretion. You can also be entrusted with and call upon Guild assets.
To apply simply post in this thread, for now recruiting is fully open!
What We Do
Mainly we form a group that creates and distributes (as in: sells) maps of the universe. For the most part, we independently just map what we come across. However, we also offer to map something for someone, as long as our neutrality is not endangered by the mission. We’ll sell resource locations to miners, locations of uninhabited planets to people seeking to colonize, destinations for lucrative trade runs, etc.
However, for the most part we are free individuals – if a member doesn’t want to partake in a mission, she / he is free to ignore it and continue on their trek.
I would LOVE this. I wonder if active mapping is planned for the game. I want to be able to use my recon/exploration/mining/prospecting/scanning skills to detect any valuables and sell their location - i guess adding them to my map and simply copying my map info into an item that can be sold to others.
Or perhaps spend some time scanning asteroids and some of them having very precious metals/volatiles that i can sell as explained above. Or even scouting/espionage/cargoscanning by contract/mercenary.
So, you want to join? It’s kinda unofficial until Kodiakus says you’re in, but he comes by irregularly and seems okay with us handling that.
@Anyone else that was / still wants to be a member: come say hi, post you membership status, and I’ll start a member list in the first post so that this thread doesn’t seem so empty.

I gather there’s no point in throwing the food in front of a standing horse (i just invented that, yay me).
Glad to see people still around, you’d think the whole “Hey the forums are up again” would be a front page thing, oh well I guess I didn’t miss it by much.
I would hereby request re-establishing diplomatic relations.
Since at this point it is still early to make decisions on a possible future yet to come, I remain an, sort of, independent explorer, willing to cooperate if possible.
This game… still exists? Once the time between updates started to be measured in years instead of months I’ll admit I migrated to the star citizen band wagon but I’m moderately surprised this place still seems to have some life left in it. well then, sign me back up for full membership. lets hope this game launches sometime in the next decade.
