A message from the Order of the Burning Serpent, to all the Faithful across the stars...

To the Commanders of all systems, to adventurers, explorers, researchers, traders, workers, and warriors of the galaxy:

The Order of the Burning Serpent is now looking for new brothers and sisters. As we move to a new phase for our research and expansion, we seek similar minded men and women looking to unravel the mysteries of the galaxy in a coordinated group. We are a community that is looking for both XBOX and PC players interested in building a larger force.

Who We Are
Descendants of the Vikings of Earth. We are the ones who have been in the shadows for millennia. Those who have witnessed the rise and fall of mighty empires. The ones who stored knowledge and made it to a weapon. We started revolutions and ended wars. We are the Serpent, seeking to return mankind to the Garden. Now the time is right and we have emerged from the shadows.

We offer a structure to help you pursue your endeavors within the galaxy, provided you work for them. As we begin a new phase in our Mission, we place a call to all likeminded pilots to join our ranks. Should our plans reach fruition, we intend to be a beacon of knowledge and fear to the galaxy, providing our members with the ability to learn multiple trades and professions, create and articulate lore, and to research the galaxy in an orderly way with like minded and trained commanders.

COMMANDERS:

Who We Need: able bodied PC or Xbox pilots interested in creating a dynamic fleet. Must be self motivated and capable of communication and input. Weekly communication and participation is strongly encouraged. A gmail account, Inara profile, and access to Discord are a necessity (don’t worry they are all free and easy and you should have em anyway). Interests are in the following areas:

Combat
Rules of engagement are only restricted to coalition factions listed here on our site. Individual CMDRs engaging each other in an ethical manner may be done at their own discretion. We follow the old traditions and violence is seen as a measure to defend honor. Honor is extremely important to us as we are the decedents of ancient Earth's Vikings and Saxons. We have a Culture of war and The necessity of defending honor with violence, along with the belief that time of death was preordained, adventure and fearlessness are core values to The Order.

We wish to foster an environment in which pilots are able to be trained in the fields of combat, racing, and CG events. As such, we call on pilots who wish to begin teach others in a structured environment. Special candidates include: Those with proven experience in CQC, Buckyball racing, or other public event within the game, and those with experience teaching fellow pilots a particular skill.

FACTIONS AND WINGS:

We offer our cooperation to all like minded groups, and are interested in coordination and exchange. In time, our services will expand. Until then, we are eager to open lines of communication.
