Formed in late 3303, the Emporium is a group of like-minded pilots who came together by happy accident. The tenants of the group are fair play, cooperation and mutual support. Our pilots fulfil many roles from trader to explorer, bounty-hunter to miner, pirate to passenger pilot all are experts in their field. The Emporium makes a point of welcoming all pilots, new or veteran who hold to our principles.

Our squadron Discord : https://discord.gg/hRqrPaYXQr

The Emporium Independents are a tight knit squadron of a dozen or so active commanders operating on the outer rim of the bubble, providing a quiet setting for our operations. We are a cooperative group, where each member has a voice. We are a zero-pressure team who focus on camaraderie and enjoyment first, and understand the different time constraints and interest levels each person has - participate as much as, or as little as, you choose. We operate in multiple time zones, but mostly on European time zones.

Mentorship
Many of us are veterans of the game, and are happy to offer knowledge and resources to assist new commanders. We have several highly skilled shipbuilders, and can assist on builds, provide events to gather materials, offer combat support, and assist in earning credits. We routinely patrol our local space, and share information on pre-upgraded and pre-engineered Odyssey equipment.

Anti-Xeno
We fight to protect humanity. But we are not aggressors. With fleet carrier transport and support we dispatch ourselves across the galaxy, wherever humanity needs protection.

Group PvE Events
We organise regular squadron events including wing missions to assist new players in amassing credits, visits to the Guardian sites, mining flotillas, exploration expeditions, and other goofy shenanigans.

BGS
We wish to hold our influence throughout neighbouring systems, leveraging peaceful (and not so peaceful!) methods, while maintaining alliances with fellow factions. Seasoned BGS operators will have enough to sink their teeth into, and we're happy to assist less experienced Commanders looking to become active in that area.

Squadron and Faction Assistance
Find a faction in trouble? We regularly deploy units (The E-Team: We pity the fools!) to support squadrons and factions who need it. "Still wanted by the Federation, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem... if no one else can help... and if you can find them... maybe you can hire... The E-Team!"

Sounds good?
Look us up in game [EMP1], check us out on Inara, or stop by our Discord to see if we'd be a good fit together!
