Our Founding History
Founded in April of 2024, United Crew is more than just a group of people who come together to play Star Citizen. It is a quality-over-quantity community of like-minded gamers who want to experience something that works best when everyone is of the same ethos and on the same page, with an investment in each other and the collective.
Our maturity and collective attitude, tied together with having serious fun, ensure that everything we do is oriented towards making the most enjoyable experience possible for everyone. No one is locked into a role, and everyone is encouraged to develop their skills across the broad range of possibilities Star Citizen offers. The United Crew are a passionate community for Star Citizen, and that passion extends to all gaming in general. When you join the UCC, you’re not just joining a Star Citizen organization, but a true community of like-minded gamers who come together to have serious fun. Whether it’s organized gameplay, role-playing our characters in the verse, watching Citizen Con together, or playing other games as a break, we are truly a collective crew of friends.
UCC Lore – Founding Era
The origins of the United Crew Collective trace back to a defining chapter in the history of the United Earth Empire Navy. Following a prolonged and intense conflict with the Vanduul, the Navy emerged victorious in a crucial battle that changed the course of the war. Among the heroes of this battle were a group of distinguished naval officers and crew members whose exceptional bravery and strategic acumen played a pivotal role in securing humanity’s safety.
In recognition of their extraordinary contributions, these heroes were honored with the highest accolades: citizenship and retirement from active duty. Despite their formal retirement, their commitment to humanity’s protection and their passion for exploring the cosmos remained as strong as ever. They gathered aboard the retired Polaris Capital Ship, UCCS Beacon of Unity, where the founders of the Collective came together to forge a new path. Their vision was clear: to continue the fight against the Vanduul threat while embracing the spirit of exploration that had initially drawn them to the stars.
Thus, the United Crew Collective was born. Our name reflects the unity and collaborative spirit of these founders. “United” signifies our commitment to working as a cohesive team, “Crew” underscores our collaborative roles, and “Collective” highlights our grassroots approach.
A Home Among the Stars
As the vast expanse of space beckoned, the United Crew Collective emerged as a sanctuary for those seeking purpose and community. The Collective offered a welcoming environment for citizens and civilians alike, providing a sense of belonging and adventure. Within this close-knit community, individuals forged lasting connections and shared remarkable experiences as they journeyed together among the stars.
