"The Thargoid fleets emerging from the Maelstroms have inflicted anguish and loss on millions. ... These are our neighbours, our trading partners, our historic cousins. Their populations cry out for help. ... Before long, nowhere within the Federation will be safe." - Shadow President Felicia Winters.
As ever, Winters' calls to action ring true. Following her ethos of providing aid to those in need, Orange Alert* is a new group aiming to reflect the humanitarian values synonymous with the Winters pledge. When disaster calls, and pilots are compelled to help, this group facilitates those who wish to, to do so not just as individuals, but to organise their operations under a Winters banner. From finding a wing, to pushing a big op, this is a place to do it.
Currently this could be through rescue and relief operations in systems under attack to save them from Thargoid control, be they Federal or Independent. OP is experienced and active in coordinating such ops and studying Thargoid war tactics. But in this galaxy there's always a new peril around the corner, we must always be prepared for new challenges.
Members of squadrons and individual pilots equally welcome. Interest in powerplay as a feature not required. The idea is that pilots can participate alongside their usual activities, whatever level of commitment they're comfortable with, as and when the urge arises.
An accompanying facet of our approach could involve research - study of the Thargoid war mechanics, firing research limpets under fire, or research of any kind, to understand challenges faced, and to innovate.
Combat pilots who wish to form an AX corps for the current crisis are welcome. The combination of AX defence and hauling power has proven a very effective way to protect systems.
Although a Federal organisation under a Winters banner, welcoming secondees of other pledge/superpower allegiance (or none) is not ruled out. Calamity is no respecter of human politics.
Humanity is in a dire emergency right now, but this affords an opportunity to forge something new, for the good, that carries Winters' values throughout the bubble, through the current crisis and beyond!
*The name reflects the Winters colour scheme, also the galmap colour for Thargoid invasions (there also may be a wee cult pop culture reference in there ).
