IT’S A FREELANCERS LIFE FOR ME
Life in the void is no cake walk…Rival crews and gangs, bounty hunters, the UEE Navy, and private security forces infest every nook and cranny of the galaxy. If you’re going to survive in this world- let alone thrive in it- you’re going to need to surround yourself with those of whom you can trust in a pinch; People of character and competence- That have your back no matter the odds. No matter what. And that is exactly what we are…

A guild that values chemistry, cooperation, and creativity. We prioritize quality over quantity. Most of all we prioritize fun… and we WILL have FUN.

To attain crew membership with THE HARD WAY is to be part of a family; and a member of this family will never have to sail the black alone.

ORGANIZED PLAY
It’s what we’re all here for. Star Citizen is a fantastic game alone but it’s even better when played alongside your friends. Group events are the cornerstone of any worthy guild and group events are the cornerstone of THW.

WE GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS…
THW is currently seeking to affiliate with like minded orgs… Organizations that enter into an agreement of Jolly Cooperation with THW will enjoy benefits of the crew’s hospitality. Everything from repairs, fuel, armaments and supplies, to sanctuary and backup depending on terms of the treaty.

THW is currently under contract to ✧ SUPER MEGA CORPORATION ✧ through the duration of 2954. At the culmination of which we will be again available for freelancing contracts and charters.

JOINING THE CREW:
Membership to THE HARD WAY is not exclusive but to become a fully fledged member of the crew you will be required to have THW set as your main organization. You are more than welcome to be a member of clubs and affiliate with organizations that do not conflict with our Guild and its motives. All members are expected to demonstrate loyalty to THE HARD WAY and uphold their oath upon receiving crew membership regardless of any other affiliations.

Those seeking membership in THW first require the sponsorship of an existing member of the crew and to pay the one time non-refundable administration fee. This admin fee is a token of your dedication and desire to join our ranks and will be used to fund swab focused events. Once sponsorship has been obtained, and fee processed, The Council will review the sponsored individual and either grant or deny Swab status.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

SWAB STATUS:
Once Swab status has been achieved that individual will be given limited access to club events and amenities on a trial basis under the supervision of that applicants sponsor. Swab status has no defined length and culminates with either a rejection of application or a invitation to apply for full crew membership.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

CREW MEMBERSHIP:
Upon a Swab receiving an invitation to apply for crew membership they will be tasked to complete THE FIVE TRIALS. If successfully completed at the standard required the Swab will then be brought before The Council to ceremoniously take the oath and achieve crew membership with THE HARD WAY

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

AFFILIATES:
THW offers Affiliate titles to trusted friends, and contractors, who are members of other orgs which align with our play style, and mission, and to whom we contract to and for.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

LEADERSHIP ROLES:
THE HARD WAYS officers are an essential part of guild operations. Selected from the most trusted, skilled, and enthusiastic members of THW; officers are charged with all sorts of important responsibilities. From ensuring vital tasks are completed- before, during, and after missions, to mentoring and tutoring fellow crew members they do it all…

THE COUNCIL:
The Council is the governing body of THE HARD WAY. Headed by the Commander, and comprised of the most senior members of the crew, the council aims to maintain a fair, fun, and orderly environment for all guild members. Members of the council should be respected not merely for the power they wield, or the rank they hold, but for the incredible amount of effort they put in to ensure an exciting, and creative experience for us all to enjoy.
