What started as a small group of friends joking about starting a guild in Star Citizen slowly spiraled into one of the greatest group of gamers I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.
-Bruden Grin
Fireside started in 2016 as a small group of friends, veterans in MMO gaming, looking to take on a different approach when playing games. Separated groups without being Para-military, and telling people how to play the game. A fun loving crew that loves to kick back and enjoy their time together not always in combat, but are rewarded when they are. A group whose leadership doesn’t yell and scream when a raid is going poorly, a base is lost, or when they don’t get the loot they want.
It started as a SHEPHERD. A no holds barred contract company, looking to pave their way in the ‘verse. There were big plans, and bigger dreams. Star Citizen, however, would be released on it’s own terms, on it’s own time, and we grew to understand that. We tucked away our space ships for a little while, and set out for other adventures.
We played several games while we waited for Star Citizen’s release, and learned rather quickly that SHEPHERD, a name originally designed for Star Citizen (originally meaning *S*pace *H*ospitality *E*xplorations *P*rofits *H*oming *E*xcavation *R*econ and *D*estruction) wasn’t going to cut it for all the games we were playing. If it wasn’t already taken, it was cliche, common, and not at all the image we had for our guild. We decided on Watchdog Coalition, after much deliberation. This wouldn’t be our last rebranding.
Over time we adventured in many worlds, from Eorzea in Final Fantasy 14, to Eranor in Archeage. From the realm of Minecraft, to the system of Space engineers, and so, so much in between. We grew, expanding on the dream we once had, but still.. Star Citizen remained in the Hangar until it was ready. Thus, we became a multi-gaming group with the idea that when SC finally released, we’d carve out our own space in the ‘verse.
Shortly before a delve into the MMO ‘New World’, Watchdog Coalition decided to change it’s name the final time. WDC was a common abbreviation, watchdogs not at all representing who we were anymore. We were a group of friends, sitting around a unified interest of gaming, telling stories, sharing drinks, and leaning on one another. Thus, we decided on Fireside as the final name. Something short, to the point, and represented who we were.
We’ve had challenges, and victories, strifes and successes, and every day we get a little better. Fireside is still trucking along and playing most MMO’s on the market.. But we still keep an eye to the sky and that ultimate goal of Star Citizen.
Fireside is a US based conglomerate of tradesmen, from soldiers, to pilots. Miners, to traders. From Explorers, to Spies and everything in between. Fireside wants to be the “go-to” organization when other groups need back up on any job. We rely on the trust of our allies, and always get the job done.
Everything. No job is unreachable. We maintain our fleet and members by conducting inner org operations, as well as working with other orgs to keep UEC flowing, and a steady stream of allies, should we need them. We can be guards, extra miners, haulers, medical back up, and even a bit of espionage. You name it, and the price, and Fireside will see it through.
While not a PMC (Para-Military Corp), Fireside believes in organization and preemptive setup above flying by wire. Thus we have created 4 branches within the organization, simply to keep things organized during org events and contracts, not to limit how you play! You choose what branch you want to be in for org events, and you won’t be limited to this “job” outside of said events. The four branches are:
Outside of providing organization within Fireside, these branches provide a sense of ownership between you and your peers, and create opportunities for gameplay without relying on official events to become available.
