G.A.R.D. - Galactic Animus Research Division - Ad Maius Bonum

Casual/Hardcore, RP/non-RP welcome. Cross platform, multi-region (euro, americas). Mainly PVE with some PVP activities. Federation aligned, neutral-good aligned (we follow our own agenda as long as it isn't evil or indifferent, that's all the RP you are required to do, be a decent human being).

We are currently seeking:

Total casuals! Do you just want to be part of a nice bunch of people? Join up! We want you as well! You don't have to do anything toward squadron objectives and operations if you don't want to, just be a great person and respectful to others and you'll always have a home in GARD.

Experienced Commanders to assist in forming a Xeno division. Must have significant experience in lore and combat with Thargoids. We are also looking for inexperienced pilots that might want to form part of that team.

Experienced top level pvp Commanders to help with PvP training and head up Anti Gank Squad. We are also looking for inexperienced pilots that might want to form part of that team.

A guild loremaster who will build a Lore Division to enrich the GARD codex

****NARRATIVE****

Welcome to the briefing, son. Sit your heiny down over there and we'll tell you how you'll play an important role in the future of not just the Federation but the entire Galaxy.

Galactic Animus Research Division, as the name implies, means we study conflict. We understand it, we experiment with it, we participate in it and we use it, for the greater good.

Our analysts are always keeping their ear to the ground, looking at the various conflicts taking place in Federation space (and wider if need be) and seeing where we can best use GARD's resources, or if we should interfere at all. All of our squadron members are committed to one thing, ensuring the galaxy is a safe and fair place for Federation citizens first, but also all mankind. We never victimise worse pilots or under-resourced and under-equipped pilots, in fact we go out of our way to offer them help. We can't make the galaxy fair, hell no! But does that mean we aren't going to try! Hell, NO! We will do what we think is right, or die trying. We always put the good of innocent pilots above our own.

Join up today if you're tired of the privileged few dining on the carcasses of the downtrodden masses, we need YOU to make a difference in the galaxy.

****PRACTICAL****

About the founder: I am an ex wow guildmaster who has led 2 huge guilds to great success. I fight for justice in all its forms and lead from the frontline. As a leader I offer balance and a strong sense of fairness.

My main goal from Elite is to have a large guild of players going around simply being 'decent people', and to master the dogfighting model. Our reputation should be such that when anyone sees a GARD registered ID, they can feel safe that there's someone around who will respond to a distress call, or at least, definitely won't attack them for no reason. If one day, we get reputations as effective BGS squads and pvp protectors, that will be a bonus, but our prime directive is to be friendly and have fun, as I have found that when you build on that, great things always develop.

About the Squadron: GARD has been created to involve itself in the BGS on the Federation side (tentatively at first, we are actively looking to recruit knowledgeable BGS players to form part of GARD's council which will decide where we focus at any given time). Our early focus will be areas where the other superpowers are expanding into Federation space, slowing that advance, or halting it if we can.

GARD members consider ourselves the unofficial protectors of the galaxy. GARD requires nothing of its casual members, no GARD operations will be mandatory for members, we want to be a simple guild of like minded people with no pressure. The core of the guild will obviously be planning and conducting BGS and PvP operations and it is up to you as a member whether or not you want to support that. While GARD is NOT a PvP guild, we will be doing some (I want to get better myself), naturally, that will be of the 'anti-griefing' bent. As stated in the mission statement above, GARD is a force for GOOD, we mainly battle evil and right wrongs.

Basically, GARD believes that space is big enough for all of us, so the Empire and the Alliance should do us all a favour and expand in a different direction. ;) The line is drawn here, we will take back what was once ours and then we will hold it for the Federation. GARD currently has no stance on Thargoids, as their threat is still being assessed by our analysts. Again we are looking for xeno specialists to recruit and provide meaningful data on the alien conflicts going on around the human bubble. This is an area of future interest.

Join up if you want to be able to say that you fight for the good guys (no ambiguity, we are good guys), in a corrupt and dangerous galaxy.

AD MAIUS BONUM - For the Greater Good!

Resources: As an experienced guildmaster, I will provide the resources that the guild needs. The HQ which is a microsite is already up and running, where we can meet and exchange ideas in private. The discord is up and running, and we have a small TS server for sensitive operations. Squadron artwork has already been produced, and there will be more, find this at HQ. Of course, we plan to have a carrier at the earliest possible moment, we'll see how that goes resource-wise at the time.

Hi Aashenfox. Count me in. My own background is I've been playing by myself since the game was released. I originally set up a player faction with the idea my friends would join but although they bought the game they never ended up playing it (boo hoo :(). I even set up a wordpress website where iI started posting some RP articles but I've let it slide as it was only me that ever read them.

Do you already have a player faction in game? If not and it's technically possible I don't mind mine being repurposed as it's pretty much going to waste at the moment. It is in a Fed system and is the controlling faction. If you want to reuse the website that's cool too.

That a very generous offer which I appreciate, thanks. I don't actually plan to apply to have a player faction added to the game, for two reasons. 1) It's something that we would feel obliged to maintain when our resources might be better employed elsewhere, and 2) It gives opposing groups an in-game asset to attack if they want to undermine us or just damage us.

Unless something should change to make that advantageous, it's not in the current plans. We plan to involve ourselves in others' conflicts, not create our own but hey, keep the assets, you never know! :)
 
A microsite has been registered, https://edgard.enjin.com (doesn't seem to work well on mobile, recommend desktop for now), please feel free to register and apply.
I will be getting all the premium features enabled when squadrons launches, including the voice server for guild use.

Website banner is a place holder, will be built upon, gives you an idea of what the logo will be like though, using the representation of Earth in the Fed logo as the last dot of G.A.R.D. :)

Will soon have a badge, forum badges and banners based around the same kind of themes.

Registered myself. I've been playing for a year now but I still consider myself a beginner. Might not be that active in the beginning, since I'm probablythe only ps4 player in the group so far. Nonetheless, it's great to find a fed aligned player group, as there aren't that many (other than the powerplay groups).

Welcome aboard, thanks for registering, and worry not, we will not be conducting major operations until the launch of squadrons, great to have a member flying the flag on ps4. o7, see you at HQ.
 
Oh !

I was looking forward to create a Squadron of my own, but you seem to be way more experienced and your views align quite astonishingly well with mine !
If you allow it, this rear admiral to be admiral of the Federation will join your Squadron.

PS : I have discord if required.

NB : Application sent, looking forward to collaborate with you Cmdr. 07
