History
Do you want to become a Paladin? Join our discord
Our galaxy has always been a very cold and dark existence for many pilots, especially those that are simply trying to make an honest living to support their families. Miners, trader, explorers… they wake up every day reassuring their wives, husbands, and children that they’ll be home in time for supper, however knowing full well the risks and the dangers that await them the moment their ship leaves the star port. Time and time again you read the reports on the senseless acts of violence against these hard working citizens. Some are pirated for their cargo and allowed to carry on their way, however most end up simply being murdered for the sick satisfaction of others. You hear the reports from the victim’s families calling for revenge, begging for somebody to stand up and do something. Alas, the only responses heard are even more family members’ pleas for justice. It wasn’t until the day Zerthena, the wife of my life long mentor, came to me with the news of his untimely demise at the hands of injustice. Word is he was able to take out 3 of the pirates before another full wing joined in to finish him off. Now I too, was finding myself wondering “Why isn’t anybody doing anything?” Then it hit me. “What if every pilot that has ever been bullied, tormented, and taunted… decided to all stand together united as one and say ‘enough is enough’?
Of course these pilots would still need to make a living, but they would also spend time training in the art of combat. So when the time came, they would be able to come together in overwhelming numbers in support of each other no matter the obstacles placed in front of them. They would send wings of commanders to areas where the inexperienced fly to teach them basic survival skills, work with them so they understand how to make a decent living and hold true to that daily promise of being home by supper. Give them the necessary skills to not only defend themselves, but to hopefully one day be able to join the cause and stand up to injustice. Most importantly, show them how to fly with integrity… This simple idea was forged into the foundation of the Paladin Consortium, “Pilot Autonomy… Unified as One.
Manifesto
Who are we?
The Paladin Consortium is a diverse group harbouring a lot of mindsets. While some might be benevolent knights in white armour, others prefer earning their share with more shadowy endeavours. We come from the early days of colonisation and still carry that spirit within us. We were pioneers and neighbours to one another, helping each other to prosper and to overcome hardship in order to grow into a stronger society. We live to this credo still today, looking at the galaxy as a whole. This also means that we do not suffer bullies, we do not tolerate raiders or exploiting warbands preying on those who yearn to live in peace. Not in our space, not anywhere else.
What are we?
We are an association of Commanders of all trades, united by the desire to lend a helping hand to those in need and protect those who cannot protect themselves for a price. We strive to ensure safe trading, mining and exploration for everyone. We are traders, explorers, combat pilots, miners, smugglers, privateers and role-players. You name it. People who play for the single reason of disrupting gameplay for others have no place in our ranks. We despise griefing and ganking.
What do we do?
Our events can take the form of combat operations or forming convoys of guarded trading ships. We also maintain our systems by playing the background simulation and fly together whenever the opportunity arises.
We offer a mature community in the game and on Discord. Our members range from new players to seasoned veterans, hailing from all corners of the Earth and favouring many different playstyles. We value our autonomy as pilots while we stand together as a group, always ready to strengthen our territory and community. Everyone here has a voice and if an idea makes sense we implement it.
