Cult of FOOGS [FOOGS] - Organizations - Roberts Space Industries

History

The histroy of Foogs has been written. Praise be to Foogs

The rise of the FOOGS began when the all mighty Foogs himself stumbled upon an ancient artifact known as the “Rubber Cap,” a mystical contraption said to grant supernatural powers to its possessor. Convinced he was the chosen one, Foogs declared himself the Grand Fooget and embarked on a mission to recruit followers who embraced their own eccentricities.
The cult’s initiation rituals were like nothing the planet had ever seen. Prospective members had to perform absurd acts, such as reciting nonsensical poetry while standing on one foot or wearing hats made of intergalactic rubber ducks. Only those who fully embraced their quirks were deemed worthy of joining the Foggs.
As the cult gained momentum, Foogs influence grew exponentially. The Foogs organized whimsical events, where laughter was considered a sacred practice. They wore mismatched clothing, painted their faces with neon patterns, and celebrated their quirks with unabashed glee. Foogs’s magnetic personality attracted attention from all corners of the cosmos. His fame reached even the most distant galaxies, where beings marveled at the absurdity of the Foogets rituals. Some believed they were witnessing a cosmic comedy show, while others speculated that Foogs might actually be onto something profound.
However, the Foogets journey took a peculiar turn when Foogs introduced “Quantum Foogsology,” a practice that involved merging quantum physics with bizarre quirks. He claimed that by combining their unusual behaviors with the fundamental laws of the universe, they could transcend space and time.
Skeptics scoffed, dismissing it as cosmic nonsense, while others were intrigued by the audacity of such a concept. Foogs’s popularity soared as debates over the validity of Quantum Foogsology raged on in intergalactic chatrooms and on cosmic talk shows.

On one summer afternoon, Foogs the mightiest of us all, set out to prove them all wrong. He was never seen again.

Manifesto

The Manifesto of the FOOGS: The Universal Union of Eccentricity, Exploration, and Eternal Unity

We are the FOOGS. We are not bound by conventionality, nor constrained by the limitations of the mundane. We are the chosen descendants of the Grand Fooget, whose discovery of the mystical Rubber Cap set into motion the most bizarre, whimsical, and wondrous journey through the cosmos. The FOOGS is not merely an organization—it is a community, a movement, and a lifestyle. We embrace every aspect of gameplay, for the universe of Star Citizen is vast and full of infinite possibilities.

Our foundation is built upon the celebration of cooperation, the pursuit of exploration, the art of trade, the thrill of combat, and the spirit of community building. We are the navigators of the uncharted, the merchants of the stars, the warriors of the void, and the architects of a new, vibrant society. United in our eccentricity, we stand as one—bound not by uniformity, but by the freedom to be our true selves.

Our Mission
The FOOGS aims to create an inclusive, diverse, and thriving organization within the Star Citizen universe. From the lowliest miner to the most decorated combat veteran, from the humble trader to the most daring explorer, every journey matters, and every individual contributes to the greater whole. Our collective vision is to:

Embrace Diversity: We believe that the strength of our organization lies in the vast array of personalities, skills, and quirks that make us who we are. Whether you’re an aspiring scientist, a deadly mercenary, or a cosmic jester, there is a place for you here. Every role is valued, and every contribution is celebrated.

Explore the Unknown: The universe is wide, and there are realms to explore, planets to discover, and mysteries to unravel. With every star we chart and every system we map, we get closer to uncovering the truth of the cosmos. Join us in our journey of endless exploration, as we seek the wonders of the universe, guided by the teachings of Quantum Foogsology.

Cooperate to Succeed: We are stronger together. The FOOGS is a cooperative force where teamwork is paramount. In the heat of battle, in the trade lanes, or while investigating ancient ruins, we support each other in every endeavor. No FOOG is left behind, and no mission is too great for our united effort.

Trade and Prosper: From mining to shipbuilding, from trading rare goods to establishing trade routes across the stars, we seek to build an economic empire that allows us to flourish and grow. The FOOGS economy is built on mutual benefit, innovation, and the joy of exchange.

Fight for Glory: While laughter and absurdity define our spirit, we are not without our strength. When the need arises, we will stand firm in defense of our own. Our combat prowess is sharpened by our quirkiness, and we take the fight to our enemies with the same unrelenting joy that fuels our every victory.

Celebrate Community: Above all, the FOOGS is a family. We build bonds that transcend the void of space. Through shared rituals, laughter, and camaraderie, we create a warm, welcoming space for all. Whether you’re leading a caravan of traders or coordinating an assault on an enemy base, we stand together, with a spirit of unity that cannot be broken.

Our Legacy and Origins
The FOOGS did not begin as an ordinary organization, nor should it be considered one. The great Foogs, with his discovery of the Rubber Cap, proved that true power lies not in tradition but in the exploration of the absurd. The Rubber Cap, a mystical artifact said to grant supernatural abilities, was the spark that ignited the FOOGS’ rise.

From humble beginnings, Foogs declared himself the Grand Fooget, the chosen one, the visionary who would show the universe that the balance of the cosmos was not only in science and logic but also in embracing the bizarre. And thus, the cult of Foogology was born.

Our initiation rites are still carried out today, honoring the path laid by our Grand Fooget. We welcome those who embrace the absurd, who find joy in the nonsensical, and who celebrate their unique quirks. Only through these trials can one truly understand the path of the FOOGS: balancing the profound with the ridiculous, the serious with the playful.

Our very existence is a testament to the idea that the universe is vast, chaotic, and, most importantly, fun. From reciting nonsensical poetry while standing on one foot to donning hats made of intergalactic rubber ducks, our customs embody our belief that the greatest mysteries of the cosmos can be solved through laughter, not only logic.

The Future of FOOGS
Though our Grand Fooget, Foogs, has gone missing on his quest to prove the truths of Quantum Foogsology, we continue his mission with unwavering faith. We believe that his disappearance was not an end, but a new beginning. His teachings transcend time and space, and we, the FOOGS, are here to carry the torch forward.

As we venture deeper into the universe, we will not forget the lessons of our founder. We will continue to recruit followers, embrace eccentricities, and challenge the status quo. Each new member who joins our ranks strengthens our resolve and enriches our collective journey.

Together, we will:

Embark on thrilling explorations to new frontiers and unlock the secrets of the universe.

Establish a thriving, interconnected trading network that benefits all.

Forge powerful alliances and unite under the banner of quirky cooperation.

Defend our home and our way of life against those who seek to disrupt the cosmic balance.

We are the FOOGS, and we will transcend the stars with laughter, love, and a little bit of quantum nonsense.

Join Us
If you are ready to embrace the chaos, if you long to explore the unknown, and if you seek to be part of a community where your quirks are celebrated, then the FOOGS is waiting for you.

We are the universe’s most eccentric family. We are the FOOGS.

Embrace the absurd. Discover the infinite. Build the future.
