Continuing the legacy of Mic Turner and the Cakers, spreading democracy and autonomy one system at a time.

Do you want to help struggling Democracies out on the edge of space, become a system flipping BGS master, extend the interests of the Alliance and make some credits along the way... then the Unioneer's Workers Cooperative is for you!

About the Cooperative
The UWC originally started off as an entertainment design company, facilitating the needs of Alioth working population. The company cooperativized as the Caker struggle began in Alioth, the new Cooperative of Unionized Workers would help the young cause during the early days of the uprising. Far from its origins, the UWC has branched into a number of fields, including logistics solutions, and providing support for various independent and Alliance factions.

Who are we?
-We advocate for workplace democracy and Unionization, join your local union!
-Hurt one spacer, hurt all! We have no love for Authoritarians and Despots who prey upon the people of the Frontier.
-BGS, Fun and Credits. We play the game to push our factions, and to have fun, sometimes we make some dough along the way.
-We are anti-Corp, be our nature we are a horizontal organization. For Corporations that remain benevolent and generous to the people and local democracies, we are willing to provide honey... on the other hand those that are not; get the stung by the bees.
-Alliance corps are exempt from the above, we treat them as proto-cooperatives.

>>>We do not seek aggression with other PMFs (yes this even includes faction types we aren't favourable toward), we seek to become better neighbours with our fellow players. Don't get us wrong though, we will defend our systems, and those of the Alliance from aggression. We do not tolerate opportunists preying on our neighbours, nor territorial demands, be it upon our space, the space of our allies or neighbours<<<

-We are anti-griefing, there is no challenge in murdering new commanders, it is an act cowardice.
-We are anti-botting, those who use bots to push the BGS are some of the worst people ever! We are for good BGS leg work.
-We are anti-grinding, just don't, you have a life, we do not demand that players sink countless hours into this game per day, just have fun.

Our stance on each Superpowers

>The Alliance: I have been with the Alliance since I started learning how to fly. It might not be entirely perfect, but it is the best hope for Humanity. The Alliance works together to protect its members, and it has done so countless times. Alliance = based

>The Federation: We understandably have mixed feelings, sure it is not ALL that bad, except for the rampant privatization and unhampered surveillance. The Federation has the potential to become the democratic society it has strived to be, or it could become a tyrannical Imperium that puts the Empire to shame in terms of might and Imperial rule. As far as we are concerned, Felicia Winters and her Liberal Party, while certainly flawed, are the best hope for a bright future within Federal space, thus we hope to improve relations with the factions that support her.

>The Empire: What can we say, the Empire sure builds quality. The Empire realizes that poverty is bad, but for the wrong reasons of vanity, and thus Imperial Citizens pledge themselves in the service of Imperial Slavery. Sure, they are treated well, but there are ways to pay a debt, be it of money or honor, without putting yourself into servitude of another. It must be stated, that we do indeed think Arissa-Lavingny Duval is an honorable leader, but Aisling will lead the people of the Empire into a brighter future, one that may see the need for Imperial Slavery abolished, and perhaps even a Parliamentary Monarchy. In our darkest hour of need, it was Imperial Citizens who came to our aid.

About the Founder
Archimedes Haus was born in the He-Bo System in the 3280s, prior to the late century tantalum rush. Having graduated from College, he wished to see more of the Galaxy, and thus applied for a Pilot's Federation license in 3301. Late 3301, Archimedes found themselves with a Sidewinder, 10Kcr and a fast n furious SRV. After some months of learning his way round the area of Eravate, he made it back to Alliance space, where he would make a name for himself in the Alioth Cluster. 3302 would see him join the ranks of the 'Gunship Diplomats' the AEDC, and thus when there was turmoil and Leesti, he served as a novice combat pilot, for a time settling down in the area. Eventually, with like minded pilots of Leesti, the ACLC or 'Anarcho Communists of the Lave Cluster' was form, who swore never to again would despots threaten the Lave cluster. Eventually these pilots would move their activities to the nearby system of Dijkstra, where they helped the local Union overthrow Dijkstra Purple Power. Their influence would spread to other systems in the area, overthrowing corporations and dictators in favor of autonomous democracies, with help of course from their new friends in the CIU. These systems would come to call themselves the Lave Frontier Alliance, they were largely independent, as of such beyond the easy protection of the Alliance. Suspicion of the nearby Imperials in Bhutas would grow, and a war was narrowly avoided. A Cooperative would later by founded in the system by the name of Dijkstra PLC, as of such, it was decided that these pilots would leave the work to the new Cooperative - moving to Ewenet, then Pendilla and eventually the UWC office in Djaghom Dun.
