Commander! Do you have a moment? When you look to the stars, wherever you are, do you hear a faint call to adventure? When you look at those tiny twinkling dots of light, do you hear that whisper of curiosity? Do you feel called to search through the black for visions never before seen, to discover sights of awe? Do you not hear it? That steady pulsing that picks at the back of the bottom of your brain? That haunting murmur that wisps by your senses just gentle enough that you believe you imagined it? That is the call of Dark Cry, my chosen friend. It is that constant mystery. That everlasting question. The call to space. That same challenge that boils bubbling beneath the burning blood of every ambitious spacer that drifts the darkness we so boldly call, "the black".

The Dark Cry is that colorless wave that struck all of mankind back before your daddy ever imagined your mammy naked, and it claims all that dare venture into the deep. It is our birthrights. It is our legacy. We are the Pirates of Dark Cry. We strive to push humanity deeper into the veil, uncovering all truths about ourselves. No matter how bad it hurts.

We believe that the technologies, information, and mysteries known amongst humanity should be freely shared by all, and to that end, we believe that it is our duty to assist in that effort. We are a Cooperative by definition, aiming to see humanity grow and develop far past the petty squabbles that currently erupt between factions.

The Thargoid threat are the only mystery to us, and should a true possibility of diplomacy be presented, we believe humanity should do all it can to find peace, avoiding unnecessary human loss. We serve no allegiance to any one faction, choosing to serve the whole of humanity until knowledge is shared freely among all of humanity. Ushering a new era of progress and expansion for humanity to spread among the stars. A Plain of Illumination if you will. So you have what it takes to be a Pirate of Dark Cry?
