WHO WE ARE

The Via Lactea Vetus Milites, or "Veteran Soldiers of the Milky Way," is a veterans squadron, renowned for their experience, discipline, and unwavering loyalty to the galaxy. Our membership is composed primarily of pilots who have seen countless battles and weathered countless storms, our faces etched with the lines of time and the scars of war.

While our name suggests a focus on the past, the Via Lactea Vetus Milites is anything but antiquated. We are a highly skilled and adaptable squadron, equipped with the latest technology and always on the cutting edge of combat tactics. Our pilots are experts in everything from dogfighting to capital ship combat, and they are renowned for their ability to execute complex maneuvers and outmaneuver their enemies.

The squadron's motto, Tempus non est nostrum, reflects our philosophy of living in the moment and seizing every opportunity. The belief that time is a precious resource, and that it must be used wisely and effectively, is etched in our souls. This philosophy is reflected in the approach to combat, which is characterized by a relentless pursuit of victory and a willingness to take risks.

Despite our trigger-happy demeanor, the Via Lactea Vetus Milites is a close-knit community. We value camaraderie and loyalty above all else, and we are always willing to help a fellow pilot in need. Our members are united by a shared love of adventure and a deep respect for the galaxy in which we live.

ORIGINS

VLVM (tag =VLVM=), emerged from the ashes of all and any galactic war that had ravaged our galaxy for centuries. Countless soldiers found themselves adrift, their purpose and identity inextricably linked to the battles they had fought. Many of these veterans, disillusioned with the political machinations that had led to the war and the subsequent instability, struggled to find their place in a galaxy that seemed to have forgotten them.

FORMATION

It was amidst this climate of uncertainty that a group of former commanders, united by their shared experiences and a deep-seated sense of duty, conceived of the Via Lactea Vetus Milites. Their goal was to create a sanctuary for veterans who had lost their way, a place where they could find solace, camaraderie, and a renewed sense of purpose. The ultimate goal: to build the ultimate utopia for their kind.
