o7 Cmdrs

Welcome to the PC home of EFRC the Elite Fleet Republican Consortium, twinned with “The Elite Fleet” TEF1 on PlayStation. We have no affiliation with US politics. The minor faction and related PlayStation Squadron have been my home in Elite for several years.


Squadron History

The Elite Fleet is a long running squadron of dedicated Cmdrs from around the world with its origin on the PlayStation platform. It is characterised by a vibrant, competitive and resilient community, consisting of like minded Cmdrs all pulling together, often against the odds to expediate both young and seasoned Cmdrs progression into desired play styles/gameplay loops and achieving individual and shared goals.

The TEF1 squad tag became a common sight around the bubble and beyond on PlayStation. The Elite Fleet once established in our home system quickly began forging alliances with other friendly squadrons and some competitive rivalries with those who just want to see the world burn. Being one of the larger Playstation communities EFRC BGS space became the target of numerous highly entertaining and competitive PVP incursions which despite that not being the squadrons background we were often able to repel by rallying together our own cmdrs and some very skilled members of other friendly squadrons to put up a robust defence and drive out marauding PVP raiders.

The Elite Fleet has gone from strength to strength and is consistently in the top 10's on the leader boards in legacy on PlayStation. The squadron is active enough to warrant a structured rank system with more active and experienced Cmdrs being placed in positions of authority/council and taking a lead in specified areas such as Anti Xeno Operations, PVP, BGS etc. This is something I intend to carry forward once EFRC is more established on Odyssey.



Introducing the Elite Fleet

Primary Activities: The Elite Fleet excels in Space Government Simulation Management, engaging in a diverse range of activities such as Combat, Trading, and Exploration. Our versatility ensures that we are prepared for any challenge the galaxy throws our way, whether it's fending off hostile forces or discovering uncharted territories.

Group Ethos: Cooperation and camaraderie are at the heart of The Elite Fleet. Members of our group place a high value on working together and supporting nearby allies and friends. While we prioritize collaboration and peaceful interactions, The Elite Fleet is always ready to defend our interests with ferocity when provoked.

Notable Achievements: We have swiftly made a mark in the galaxy by engaging in the Background Simulation (BGS) and embracing the new Powerplay 2.0 features. We put our skills to the test early and played role in toppling an enemy superpower stronghold system shortly after the release of these features.

NARRATIVE

EFRC Player Minor Faction is the military wing of the Elite Fleet Republican Consortium Minor Faction. We strive to better the day to day lives of our NPC population and more importantly the most valuable currency a squadron can have, our player Cmdrs in the Elite Universe by conducting a myriad of operations that benefit members of EFRC Squadron, the Minor faction, and Humanity as a whole.


PAYMENT

Cmdrs of EFRC Squadron benefit from a wealth of resources. With a fully operational Fleet carrier at my disposal and a fleet of ships at my beck and call Wing/Team Missions are completed efficiently and shared regularly (Rewards always include credits but more often than not valuable engineering materials and commodities.) With a growing roster of Squadron member Cmdrs in game the Squadron's future is looking bright! Armed with over 2000 hours in game and knowledge that can only be gained by sitting in the Cmdrs seat making the long journeys, taking on board the lessons of the victories and losses, mistakes, grinds and being there, getting the T Shirt and living to tell the tale EFRC will prevail with her valued Cmdrs having more than a pocket full of creds and a few engineering materials but a sense of pride and belonging within the squadron!



SUMMARY

The Elite Fleet has always been about taking care of its Cmdrs and Community wherever and however possible, this continues in Odyssey in the new chapter of the squadrons life!
EFRC Cmdrs are Encouraged to fly together and share in their success's
We aim continue building on the minor factions successes in BGS space here on Odyssey whilst forming alliances with neighbouring squadrons fostering friendly relations with other player groups and mentoring new Cmdrs here on PC.

EFRC always has been and always will be a good home for lawful Cmdrs.
