Skunk Works [SKWK] - Organizations - Roberts Space Industries

Welcome to the Skunk Works org

History

THE BEFORE TIMES…

Skunk Works began as a detachment of the AXI (Anti-Xeno Initiative) , a highly specialized AX Squadron in Elite Dangerous. After becoming an independent squadron in our own right in Elite Dangerous. We quickly graduated from a community hosting AX Wing events to one of the best of the best squadrons of AX pilots. Fighting in the War of the Coalsack and the 2nd Battle of the Witch Head as well as the Three Nebula War. Each time securing victory alongside the human foces. During the disaterous release of the Odyssey Expansion we began seeking out new games to call home, and Star Citizen was what we found

THE FIRST FLEET

We changed focus to Star Citizen in 2021 and quickly grew in member-base and scope.

Our initial Structure was composed of distinct ‘combat branches’ – vast battlegroups of ships, ground and fighter branches alongside them. This structure, while seemingly making sense on paper, was just not something the current Alpha can make use of organically. There were some great times during the First Fleet, but getting combined arms efforts together was an uphill battle.

JUMPTOWN AND THE BIRTH OF THE TASKFORCE

During Jumptown, our recon element ‘the Rebel Racoons’ had experimented with the idea of self contained Taskforces comprised of Ships, Fighters and Ground Troops and limited to a server appropriate size. This worked extremely well at Jumptown and as a result of this the system was rolled out to the entire ORG.

POLITICS IN STANTON

Skunk Works have come to take a stand against the oppressive corporations Hurston Dynamics and ArcCorp, while supporting Crusader Security in taking down criminals. Building our community and diversity through every challenge that we meet
