Ravenbound is an active, multi-facetted, 18+ org focused on combined-arms warfare, teamwork, and roleplay. We aim to be at the forefront of Star Citizen gameplay and tactics, mastering the alpha as it evolves.
History
Origins:
Originally known as Raven Industries, a subsidiary of the powerful Hurston Dynamics conglomerate, the organization was established with a singular focus: the security, survival, and maintenance of terraformed planets. For five decades, Raven Industries diligently carried out its mission, deploying advanced technology and highly trained personnel to ensure the stability and prosperity of colonies across the galaxy.
Corporate Betrayal:
After half a century of operation, Raven Industries had become a formidable force in its own right. However, its success ultimately became its downfall. Hurston Dynamics, facing mounting pressure and internal strife due to undisclosed failures in their planetary development projects, made the ruthless decision to liquidate Raven Industries. This move was aimed at covering up their own shortcomings and shifting blame away from the parent company.
Transformation into Ravenbound:
Refusing to be silenced or disbanded, the loyal members of Raven Industries rebranded themselves as Ravenbound, a name inspired by their unwavering dedication to their cause and their determination to rise from the ashes of betrayal. The derogatory moniker “Rabid Dogs of Hurston” (RABD) bestowed upon them by their detractors was adopted defiantly, serving as a badge of honor rather than a mark of shame.
Role in Stanton:
In the tumultuous Stanton system, where the presence of the UEE was notably lacking and lawlessness reigned supreme, Ravenbound seized the opportunity to establish themselves as a dominant force. Offering their services as security providers and privateers to the highest bidders, Ravenbound swiftly gained a reputation as a versatile and formidable combined-arms militia and freelancer corps. Their willingness to tackle any job, regardless of risk, earned them both admiration and fear in equal measure.
Legacy:
Today, Ravenbound stands as a testament to resilience and defiance in the face of corporate betrayal. Their legacy is one of adaptability, resourcefulness, and unwavering loyalty to their own code of honor. As they continue to navigate the treacherous waters of the galaxy, Ravenbound remains a force to be reckoned with, their blackened wings spreading far and wide as they carve out their own path in the stars.

As all who are in the org are considered Org Members, Battlegroup Members are individuals that are committed to Ravenbound in a PVP fashion. When joining the Battlegroup, members are inducted into the Ravenbound Academy, learning the necessary tenets of Teamwork and Communication associated with playing their desired role. They will be partnered with a dedicated and knowledgeable mentor to teach them the skills required to be an effective Battlegroup Member. Upon completion of the Academy for their role, members will be permitted to represent the primary role they wish to play on the battlefield. Inspired by the myths of old, each role title represents their position and importance in combined-arms.
