History

It’s hard to say exactly when the inception of Sirius was. If you had to, it was most likely in early 2950 during a drinking session between a few of us military types. We were all sitting around G-Lock in Area-18. The plan had been to be sitting around Wally’s at Microtech. But that didn’t happen. A lot of plans we made hadn’t happened. Wally’s was under construction. The jumpgates weren’t functioning. Our “vacation” wasn’t nearly what it was meant to be.

We all worked for the same Private Military Corporation (PMC) and the last few ops had been canceled or paid a fraction of what they were supposed to. To add to this, no one had heard from the boss, except a garbled message here or there shutting down any new jobs we found. We had the feeling this leave time had been granted to buy some time.

No one knew what was going on but, we were all getting fed up.

As we sat around exchanging gripes and stale combat stories we slowly learned most of us had joined the PMC for the same reason. We wanted to get out into the ‘verse. There was action and adventure out there and the whole galaxy to find it in.

The next few weeks, no one heard anything from our bosses. Left on our own, a couple of us got to talking, but we weren’t drinking and making jokes now. For all intents and purposes, we were out of a job. Scary for a moment and then suddenly freeing, we made plans… A few more joined us.

There it was. Suddenly a small tight-knit group of highly trained, hungry for adventure, fighters, engineers, and soon to be explorers.

So, in 2950, Sirius was formed.

Since then we’ve been keeping our skill set sharp, picking up freelance jobs, making new friends and forming a fleet; preparing for the day they finally get those jump gates working again so we can get out of the Stanton system and claim our own little slice of the Galaxy.

Manifesto

Who We Are

The name Sirius is derived from the Ancient Greek ‘Seirios’, which means ‘glowing’ or ‘scorcher.’ In ancient Chaldea on Earth the star was known as the ‘Dog Star That Leads.’

We are a guild of Nomads, blazing a path into the unknown.

Sirius intends to explore the galaxy as a nomadic fleet, making credits, fighting hostiles, and supporting allies. However, we will settle into a system, build a base or set up other major operations as profits and good times dictate.

  • > After 30 days your Starman Recruit rank will be reviewed by Command Staff to see if you are ready to become a full member and rank up to Starman.

Q&A

Q: Is Sirius “casual” or “hardcore”?

  • A: Short answer; Hardcore.
    Longer answer: Both. It depends on the job you do. A dedicated fighter pilot is expected to train regularly and compete with the best, while someone who does not want to play so hardcore can simply be a turret gunner on a big ship or operate as an independent affiliated miner and play at their own pace. Star Citizen is broad enough game to accommodate many styles of player. As an org, we engage in a broad range of gameplay and there is a place for the casual as well as the hardcore to thrive with us. We call ourselves hardcore because much of our activity is based on a strict chain of command, following operational orders, and using communication disciplines.

Q: How large does Sirius want to get?

  • A: Large enough to engage in any gameplay loop, but small enough to maintain a sense of community throughout our ranks.

Q: Does Sirius accept members as Affiliates?

  • A: Yes. Discuss the details of your situation with an officer when you interview to join.

Q: Does Sirius have a uniform?

  • A: Yes. We use a uniform during formal Ops. You do not have to have it on at all times. If the Op calls for specific armor type (mining on a cold planet) then you can use that.
