Welcome to the First Steps Squadron. The Elite Dangerous Galaxy is an exciting place for Explorers, Traders and Fighter and navigating all that it has to offer can be daunting. Whether you're looking to hit a certain rank, gain combat proficiency or simply build a better understanding of core game mechanics, the relatively small but close-knit team of active and friendly Commanders from all over the world will be around to help you. If Elite Dangerous Live is a not your cup of tea, the Squadron retains a small presence in the Legacy Galaxy too. There is a Discord channel to share the serious and not-so-serious aspects of the game.

The First Steps Academy Player Made Faction, a Democratic Independent and non-aligned Faction based in Deorii, was founded in 3307 to provide a focal point for communal efforts and to shape the Galaxy through the Background Simulation (BGS).
