Roving Guns -RIP RG Matson Saloner [ROVINGGUNS] - Organizations

History

=====================
The Origin of ROVING GUNS
=====================

We played side by side for over ten years. Watched and helped out as family members passed on. We helped each other through bad and hard times. One of us was there for the other at all times. It was like Knights at the round table. It was fate we came together to form the ROVING GUNS PMC within Star Citizen. We held friendship and honor as our flag. We were a small group of guys who would give the shirt off our back to help someone out. This is how ROVING GUNS all started, and continues to uphold the virtues of Teamwork, Honor and Friendship to this day.

==============
ROVING GUNS in Star Citizen
==============

The ROVING GUNS PMC was formed when a Local System Militia, the Roving Guns, teamed up with the local Outlaw and privateer group ‘The Patriots’ in the Orion system . (reference: http://imgur.com/a/Qcpvf#3()).
While initially opposing one another, they joined forces to survive (and later, escape) a Vanduul armada descending on the system.

First contact with the Vanduul was made by the Patriots, who sent out a distress call to the entire system. Thinking it was a just a pirate trap at first, the Roving Guns set out to engage and destroy the source of the hoax signal. What they came across were a small number of outlaws heavily outnumbered by a Vanduul war patrol, including one Vanduul “Mauler” cruiser. (Reference: http://i.imgur.com/oNuYxey.jpg())

The Roving Guns made the call to assist the Outlaws in their battle against the Vanduul, believing that the humanity comes before the needs of the law, and together the two groups were able to destroy most of the Vanduul fighters and drive off the capital ship, however the Roving Guns and The Patriots took massive casualties in the process, losing half their men.
Unable to return to their base, the Patriots and the Roving Guns formed a truce and returned to the militia base. The Roving Guns report was almost completely ignored in light of the remaining Patriots presence, and the Roving Guns were ordered to apprehend or execute the criminals who had just valiantly saved the system from an attack. When the Roving Guns men refused to do this, they were ejected from the Militia and a bounty placed upon them. Shortly after they escaped the colony on Orion III, the Vanduul descended on the system in force, and the two groups managed to get out of the system undetected.
The two groups decided to join forces permanently under a new name, the ROVING GUNS PMC (Advanced Combat, Operations, Logistics & Trade), and follow their own laws based upon Honor, Morality and Freedom of Will. Thus the ROVING GUNS are a mix of both Outlaws and Law-abiders, resulting of a melting-pot culture that may both hinder or help passers by.
They honor their word and their code. If they stop you to perform a cargo-check for ‘illegal’ substances, or offer to escort you through some dangerous space, you might want to take them up on that offer… things might get a little messy otherwise.
ROVING GUNS operators consider themselves ‘Good Citizens’, but they still follow the direction of their hearts.

Manifesto

It is the intention of ROVING GUNS to become the premier private military organization for hire situated in outland and lawless space, while at the same time being honorable in its dealings and remaining within lawful standing with those organizations that dwell in Civilized areas of space.

ROVING GUNS PMC seeks to gain respect from various private corporations in the universe, and in turn generate wealth for themselves as a whole. Not necessarily wealth in a monetary form, but it is preferred.

It is the view of ROVING GUNS that the UEE Military, Advocacy, and other Private Military Corps are untrustworthy and susceptible to corruption. Despite originally having resorted to life as Outlaws in order to escape unlawful UEE persecution, ROVING GUNS generally frowns upon chaotic behavior such as Piracy, Murder, Black Market Trading and other socially unacceptable activities. It is the view of ROVING GUNS that where such activities are suspected of taking place, preventative measures must be immediately enacted.

ROVING GUNS PMC has no problem taking on contracts such as but not limited to
-Search and Rescue
-Private Escort
-Force Recon
-Stealth/ Engage and Destroy
-Stealth/ Vessel Seizure
-Stealth/ Headhunting / Bounty Hunting
-Battlefield Interdiction

If in any way shape or form one of our pilots feels threatened by a third party, our operators reserve the right to defend themselves as necessary. In addition, Individual ROVING GUNS operators reserve the right to make decisions regarding a third parties Lawful Status, and are fully authorized by ROVING GUNS Leadership to engage targets if the operator feels it is necessary in order to uphold a lawful order.

Regarding pilots in multiple organizations:
-In order to be considered a full member of ROVING GUNS, your main organization must be ROVING GUNS. Members can therefore still be ‘affiliated’ with other organizations (so long as that organization is not in direct conflict with ROVING GUNS)
-Someone who has their main organization as a group that is not ROVING GUNS, but yet remains affiliated with ROVING GUNS would not be considered a proper member of ROVING GUNS, but would still be bound to the charter governing ROVING GUNS operators. They would not automatically be eligible to directly benefit from any group-funded assets or activities within ROVING GUNS. Breaking any rule in our charter will result in the instant dismissal as an affiliate.

General Behavior:
Our members are expected to be well mannered and appropriate in their dealings with other player entities especially so when voice communications are involved.
Our members are expected to work as a team and as a unit, following the directions of their commanding officers as required during operations.
Our members are expected to have fun playing the game, and assist each other in reaching our individual goals.
