Established in 1997 on Ultima Online's Catskills server, our PC gaming community has a long history of participating in and testing numerous MMOs. Our core mission is mastering and teaching complex PvE and PvP mechanics, prioritizing organization and preparation to ensure we are ready for any challenge.

For Star Citizen, we are developing a multi-division organization focused on achieving excellence across conquest, commerce, exploration, and dominion.
