Nighty Knight Union [NITYKNIGHT] - Organizations

History

Nighty Knight Union (NKU) is a union of anti-corporate individuals who banded together after being fed up with the worker subjugation imposed by the corporations let loose by an irresponsible UEE. If you wanna get one over on ArcCorp, Eckhart, MicroTech, or any of the Corporate overlords who keep their boot over Stanton’s throat, you may just fit right in. That doesn’t necessarily mean violence, however. And it also doesn’t mean you can’t work a job for them, money doesn’t come easy, and it’s important to recognize the conditions we live under.

We take their money, and succeed in spite of them. Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that’s why we steal drugs on company time.

WHY JOIN?

We are a group of mature people who share left-leaning politics, and are typically somewhere in the LGBTQ+ spectrum. If that sounds cool to you, you’re probably gonna fit right in. We do a bit of every gameplay loop, and are open to occasional shenanigans, in whatever form that may take.

While our org’s literature is a little over the top, you do not need to role play at all. Our anarchist slant is purely a fun framing for our org’s rules. Don’t take it too seriously ;)
We are beginner friendly and will do what we can to help you get started.
We do not require a time or org commitment. Feel free to join other orgs and play at your own pace. The main goal of this org is to have fun and socialize with others. If you end. up joining and liking our vibe, feel free to stick around and play other games within the group as well! If you end up not enjoying your time, no worries, feel free to dropout anytime. No pressure :)
We have a diverse fleet of ships for various gameplay loops to engage in
Our org mainly has US and CA players, but we do have a few EU ones as well. Our typical timezone is PST.
We do not require any sort of uniforms. It helps to avoid stuff like Nine Tails armor to avoid friendly fire incidents if running bunkers, though!

Our org currently is set up to be on the smaller size. We want to maintain a more tight-knit feel with org with the focus on being social with one another. This means we don’t have rigid events and are more for hopping on and playing whenever. You won’t get the rigid authority structure with various roles like in larger orgs. If we manage to grow larger, this might have to change, but honestly we don’t see us getting THAT big.

If you wanna play the game, vibe, and chat while making some bad jokes, you can find your home at the NKU. If you would like to check us out, join our Discord and let us know you’re interested in our org. We can chat with you and answer any questions.

Manifesto

FIGHT THE SYSTEM, NOT THE PEOPLE

We stand against the irresponsible UEE, and the corporate goliaths that watch over us, and sell us back our rights with a price. The Messer era may have ended, but the oppression simply changed form. Now, most actions that give you a low crime stat simply cost money, if the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class. They make us toil away in their mines if we can’t pay a simple fine. Space age slavery…

The only reason regeneration is free is that you can come right back, and keep earning them money.
A place like Loreville is a literal hellscape, where Hurston Dynamics forces their workers to fight against the windstorms rather than construct a closed hallway.
ArcCorp refuses to invest in worker safety. How many lives have been claimed by faulty elevators? How many people have been trapped in the hospitals when the elevators failed to arrive? Why are there no emergency stairs? Why are we forced to gamble our lives with these death traps?
microTech forces their workers to crunch out poor, buggy routing systems, causing ships to careen into the star of Stanton.
And who could forget what Crusader did to Port Olisar? Selling it for scrap and laying off the station staff just so R&R could move in with its cheap, modular stations.

We will lead civil rights activities for citizens, protest unjust actions by the corporations of Stanton, and ensure the liberties many fought for during the Messer era are not encroached on anymore.

We won’t rest until the ‘Verse is a fair place for everyone.

Virtus in unitate, unitas per honorem

SO WHAT DOES NKU DO IN STAR CITIZEN?

Bounty Hunting

Some crimes are forgivable, but some are not: Pirates attacking the independent merchant, terrorists killing innocent civilians, and dirty corporate enforcers unlawfully scanning you inside your hangar for a shakedown deserve to be hunted down.

Mercenary Work

Look, we need to sustain ourselves somehow, even if that means taking jobs for the corps. We don’t look down on those who do. Play the system, but be ready to stand up for your rights if they try to weasel their way out of a payment.

Industry Professions

In order to sustain our independence, we embark on various industrial professions, such as salvaging and mining. In the future, we plan to use the resources we gather to establish our own, independent compound free from the oppressive corps.

Cargo Hauling

A core profession of any star system. Moving goods is vital for the health of the people to make sure they get what they need.

Search and Rescue

We all need to look out for each other. Extend a helping hand to those in need of rescue, be it in space or on the ground. Or if you simply need a tow back to the station after your power plant sputtered out because nobody makes quality components anymore. We have your back.

And more!

The main goal is to have fun in the game. We like to mix our time playing the game and pushing the limits of what Star Citizen has to offer. If you have any other ideas or suggestions, feel free to bring them up!

WHAT WE DON’T DO

Piracy

We do not condone piracy against innocent, civilian vessels. They might be hauling for the corporations, but they are your fellow worker! Pirating pirates, however, is allowed!

Crime

We are no strangers to Crime Stats, having had altercations with authorities in the past. However, this does not mean we condone activities like those done by criminal syndicates like Xenothreat and the Nine Tails. Having Crime Stats makes it harder for org coordination if we have to worry about bounty hunters showing up, so try to keep yourself just within the law. If you do happen to get CS, try to get it clear ASAP before partaking in org activities.

Griefing

Not much needs to be said here. We’re here for a good time, but not at the expense of others.

Charter

We do not tolerate intolerance

If a rainbow flag sends shivers down your spine, this Union isn’t for cowards like you.

If the thought of pronouns gets your blood boiling, this Union isn’t for weirdos like you.

If you’re a fascist bootlicker, this Union isn’t for sheep like you.

We are a diverse group of people and being part of our organization means having to coexist with different people. Seriously, we just want to have fun.

Not sure how someone prefers to be called or identified? Feel free to ask! We won’t bite if you approach with an open mind.

FURTHER RULES:

Be kind and respectful. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
Do not harass or insult others. Again, no racism, bigotry, homophobia, etc.
18+ only due to topics discussed and memes posted
Swearing is fine (we’re adults after all), but don’t go overboard. No slurs or derogatory comments will be tolerated
No personal attacks against other members or players.
Be helpful to other members as well as other players.
Our server is inherently political, but keep it in the appropriate channels. Remember, the main goal is to have fun.

In short: Be civil, be kind, and have fun.

If someone happens to do or say something that violates these rules, the org leaders will investigate the issue. Members who are found violating the above rules will be immediately removed from the group and banned from joining back. All other issues will be voted on by other senior members to determine the best course of action.
