Welcome, to Starforge Industrial Group. As the name implies, we are primarily an industrial organization, specializing in raw material refinement/procurement, security based operations, and trade/cargo transportation. Other practices include exploration/pathfinding and data/server brokering
SIGR (Starforge Industrial Group) comes from a bit of an obscure past. Beginning as mercenaries, they built a reputation for being stalwart beacons of retribution of the Stanton system in the years 2948 – 2951.
Their actions consisted of mercilessly, and relentlessly hunting down pirates, vigilantes, and other civilians who decided to take the law into their own hands. With unforgiving pursuit, one by one, instance by instance, rogue bounty hunters, murderers, and other heartless monsters were expunged from the Stanton System.
After some time of seeing some semblance of serenity and tranquility in the system, they realized that they could not sustain their organization, formerly known as The Sentinels, on hunting alone. A few people came together with the idea that they should experiment in industrial sectors. Mining, trading, cargo hauling and the like. At first, they had some troubles. Not knowing how to do anything in a cockpit outside of shooting and flying, it took a few tries, and a LOT of repairs to get their new-found skills up to par.
Once they realized the sheer profits they were bringing in for not only each crew member, but for the organization itself, the interest became more and more widespread through its members.
But, there was a sudden shift in the wind.
Overnight, it seemed, there were some in the organization who felt that the profits of mining would not be enough to sustain the potential numbers that it would bring to the organization. Hunting was put back on the table, just as fast as it was taken off. And from there, everything went south…
Before, The Sentinels would hunt pirates, mercenaries, ruthless civilians with a pleasure for murder. On the return of the profession, no one was off-limits. From miners, civilians, traders, UEE pilots, NO ONE safe from The Sentinels wrath.
The few who came up with the industrialist sector begged and pleaded with them to change their views. We were okay with hunting, just not the innocents. Without any regard, our requests were cast aside, never to be re-visited.
The now-founders of SIGR would secede from The Sentinels, never to forgive their moral standing and charter views, to create a blossoming, independent powerhouse known as Starforge Industrial Group.
Our vision for Starforge Industrial Group is simple.
We plan to become a completely independent, self-reliant, self-sufficient industrial based Organization. To do that, we need to all share in the same vision and interests that it takes.
Security, raw material procurement, raw material refinement/handling, data caching/brokering, research and development. What do all of these things have in common? They all help each other, which is what we do at DSIG.
Let’s individually break down these categories;
Security:
Our main goal of security is, first and foremost, the protection of our industrial fleets/wings. We can’t very well intend to progress if we allow ourselves to become easy prey to pirates or other types of mercenaries looking for a quick buck.
This will also generally mean that we will be operating under lawful intent, and abiding by system law. The Security division of our Organization will primarily be defensive when working in tandem with the Industry division, but retaliation is not off the table.
Raw Material Procurement/Refinement/Handling:
Our main goal in this category is pretty straight forward. Bust some rocks open, grab the goodies inside, and bring them to some high heat to get the real good juice. Material handling can be broken down into a few different sub-categories. Freighting, loading, transporting.
Freighting will be the main backbone of how our supplies get delivered to and from our stations, and trade routes. Pilots in the industry who are flying freighting ships are responsible for ensuring that a secure route is planned, or will have an active escort moving with them. These supplies are extremely important and take lots of work to accrue, so extreme care is expected to be had when handling them.
Loading will be how our supplies move on and off of ships. From putting materials into the cargo hold, to taking them out and transferring them into the proper storage facility.
Transporting can be broken down into moving smaller quantities of supplies in a quicker fashion to a delegated area or station.
Data caching/Brokering:
Our main goal of this is to ensure that we always have accurate data for not only our own Organization, but for other Organizations that we are currently working with, or plan to work with in the future. By proper data caching, we can ensure that we know where the highest concentration of resources in an asteroid belt are, or which quadrant of a planet their on.
It doesn’t stop at just resources, either. We can extrapolate data to rangefind, pathfind, and overall gain every bit of knowledge about the system that otherwise might slip through our fingers.
Research And Development:
Our main goal with R/D is to become the most efficient we can, with the tools we have. By research and Data, it doesn’t just mean new innovations. It can be the tuning and refining of a trade route, to eliminate unnecessary stops, risks, or to get a quicker jump on the next resource location. Through research and development, we can amplify, tune, and ultimately sharpen each one of our skills that we have now, and will pick up in the future.
1 – Absolutely no bullying, racism, sexism, or hatred of any kind permitted
Hateful, offensive, and otherwise disparaging or derogatory words have no place here and do nothing but build resent. 0 tolerance policy on this.
2 – No harassments of any kind permitted within or outside of the discord
Trying to push yourself onto someone else without proper consent is disgusting. If you think you’ve become a victim of either sexual or verbal harassment, please come to one of the Founders or the Board Members.
3 – Keep political posts to a friendly or satirical nature, or not at all
With the way things are, and tensions becoming tighter, make or take a joke about politics, please refrain from doing so. Consequently, if you can’t understand the joke being made, don’t comment on it if you can’t add to the humor.
4 – No disclosure of personal information
Pretty simple. No doxing.
5 – Keep topics within their respective channels.
The categories have been made for a reason. If you feel that any categories are missing, or you feel that a new one should be added, please ping or message a Founder or Board Member and we’ll consider making a sub-thread.
