Sector 26-D | Grid Coordinates: 1309N 2633E 
Desert Region | Elysium
Present Day

It didn’t take long for them to get famous after Operation Unilateral Force (OUF) hit the wires.  Earth needed a major public relations success given the rise in Vanduul attacks against the frontier systems.  The 78th Squadron for example became heroes for their strikes against Vanduul targets and the public consumed it, they said enlistments in the UEE Navy and Marines rose for months after the operations went public.  

What UEE Public Affairs didn’t report however was the loss of an entire task force in another sector.  Our mission, blockade the Centauri Sector and deploy offensively out of the Elysium System - land Marines from 3rd MEU in a Direct Action mission against several confirmed Vanduul military logistical centers across the frontier's border, conduct an HTV recovery at a known interrogation facility, hit comm-nodes and logistical nodes to divert Vanduul assets away from the main UEE engagement zones. 

CTF70's bulk force mission, utilize the capital ships and Marine strike assets from Combined Task Force 70 to hold the jump point, act as a blocking element of the main UEE force that deployed from Ceran during the operations main assault.  Lead by the UEES Imperia Tiberius, her escorts, fighters and strategic strike platforms the CTF was fully engaged with a light reserve element holding the Elysium System.  High Command; snug and warm deep in the Idris and Centauri Systems said we could expect "light contact" due to the main UEE advance ...

 ... It was a damn nightmare.  Sector High-Command and intel got it wrong, big time.

After six days, and the remainder of CTF70 flooding back into Elysium hoping for cover and protection - well UEE High Command didn't even try to mount a rescue … How did they put it?  “The sector was overrun with Vanduul and congested with civilian refugee’s, Sol considered the risk unacceptable to mount a rescue.  Combined Task Force 70, nicknamed Black Star Legion is an acceptable loss.”

… but some of us survived.  The UEE betrayed us … they left us with no cover … they abandon us.

My name is 1st Lieutenant Vall Ridder.  Platoon Commander, 1st Platoon, Alpha Company 1/1, 3rd Marine Expeditionary Unit - Black Star Legion.  Myself, along with Lieutenant Cowski, Sgt Redfern, SirPotato, Alli, Nicoma and a few of our surviving capital ship crew, fighter pilots, supply and logistics crews and fellow Marines are looking for those wanting to break from the UEE.  Be it casual civilians seeking businesses, or military survivors and veterans wanting to honor those we volunteer to serve and protect here. 

We ask you to join the independent city-state of Imperia Tiberius; and become citizens of Black Star Legion.

2018 RECRUITING FOCUS

Hello, and on behalf of our small but growing membership, we want to thank you for checking out our thread and hopefully being interested in us.

This month with the FPS most likely on the horizon. We are looking for Marines! Our organization is spending the 3.0 series of launches in 2018 centering around a Constellation and her crew, a few Navy fighters and some Marines to solidify a core group of members that will launch us into 2019.  We are focusing on the following key activities in 2018:

• SOP and TTP development to be used by both military and civilian members in coordinated and combined operations
• Setting up civilian city services and backend systems that will grow in 2019 with expanded membership
• Building a small support staff and set of staff teams that will help us in some areas we've historically be weak in to improve our performance in building a solid and long lasting organization.
• Taking the traditions of over 15 years as a RP, PVP, PVE, Raid, Logistics, Crafting, and City oriented guild - molding them to write our permanent future in Star Citizen.

While we will accept members, our main focus is bringing in those who enjoy being apart of support staff roles typically found in most MMORPG guilds.  (Recruiting, Event Staff, Art & Propaganda, Logistics, Supply, Combat and other specialists.)

Steps to Success:
1. Go to our General Recruiting Information and find out more details about us and our goals.
2. Get into Discord or TeamSpeak to talk to a Recruiter and we'll help you apply
3. Submit a Membership Application
4. Attend and complete our brief New Member Indoctrination course
5. Start joining regularly scheduled activities beginning in July 2018

=======================================================================

Hello, thank you for checking us out.  We are a realism organization that offers a wide range of unique experiences to both casual seeking civilian members who want to grow businesses, or those who enjoy something more structured in our milsim realism task force.  We are driven by a fair and unbiased system outlined in our Master Directives Document giving every member fair and unbiased opportunity.  We center ourselves around a 24 sq km group of land plots where we will build a city.  Imperia Tiberius is the independant city-state that offers every member a home, anchor and port of safety as they travel the stars.

We offer you a story different  then most, and an experience that is unique and unparalleled in this game.  We are a Star Citizen experience where everything you gain is earned by your output and your membership in a Team.  A home where you look to the Aviators, Capital Ship Crews, Marines and Crewmen to your left and right every day.  A home where when you log in and go to the Rum Runner Cantina in our city, you meet your friends who are farmers, business owners, outpost directors, elected senators, bounty hunters, traders, haulers, explorers, scientist, Marine Aviators, Naval Aviators - and everywhere in between to figure out the events for the day over drinks and good food.  

We offer a long term home, where your character can be immersed in functional systems, not contrived RP and your 'next of kin' are welcomed as descendants of your original character.

When we say a unique experience, it is because we truly are.  We are not doing what 95% of the rest out there do.  We're not some sci-fi channel knock off of Battlestar Blackwater.  We are built around tried and true methods, a policy driven chain of command, we derive how we do business from SOP's and train like we fight.  This experiences comes from years of MMORPG gameplay, experiences ranging from SWG and WOW to EVE and Dayz; some of us even have time in the famed 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit (15th MEU) for ARMA III where "realism milsim" is at its absolute finest.  We are lead by real life military veterans both active duty and DD-214 holders, as well as civlians who understand gaming and gamers.  We are designed from the ground up to provide you one of the most fulfilling simulation experiences in the community - while not sacrificing fun, authenticity, attention to detail, team work, and good solid community gaming.

Organization Design:  The org is designed to support two basic types of game play.  First being our Civilian members.  The second being our realism Military component.

• Civilians: 
  • Low time requirements, Low overall structure, Self and group built and managed "businesses".
  • Freedom to pursue wide activities supporting the organization, your goals, and friends with professional military protection.
• Combined Task Force 70 (CTF 70): 
  • Realism Milsim, slightly more time requirements, unit slotting based on the MOS you choose, professional level training.
  • Structured Billeting (similar to raid slotting on roles), , "on-duty" / "off-duty" game time supporting the organization, your goals, and friends.

Why do we do this?  Why do we put in so much work and time in this organization?  We wanted a very solid and scale-able infrastructure in place prior to recruiting to support growth at any level.   Star Citizen is (going to be) a very complex game, each of us invests time, emotion, effort - hopes and dreams into our characters and each other.  We want to give you, and this org the best we can and that each of us deserves from a game organization.  You and the Team around you will enjoy being gamers, while having immersion opportunities rarely found elsewhere in the 'verse.  You, and the Team around you will learn to be dependable, respectful, and respectable. 

You can do the same old same old with everyone else.  Or you can achieve a higher level of professionalism, fun, and excellence as a civilian, military member, or periodically transfer freely between the two within Black Star Legion.

We offer YOU the challenge of Black Star Legion

And I thought you would be one of those ironically guys who use "black" in their name while using white everywhere, damnit!

Just kidding, welcome!

[Ridder]

Ha ha ... actually I was just thinking about that recently when working on our website.

[Fintz]

Welcome and good luck

[Ridder]

Hello, thank you for the note.  We appreciate it.  We hope you and your crew are having a great weekend!

[Ridder]

Tonight at 1800 CST (6pm Central US) in Teamspeak we are having a Fleet Leadership Course in Classroom #1. If you're looking for an online home in Star Citizen, you are welcome to come audit the course, meet a few of us, and see a little of how we do business you are welcome. If you join us, please be respectful as we are holding a scheduled training event for our members who are working on promotion requirements.

We will most likely be flying together after this evenings training and just having some Sunday evening fun.

Click the link at the top of the thread for our TS info.

[Ridder]

So community question to stimulate some fun discussion in our thread. On the average Monday night, what would be a good group activity to do? Or would alone downtime in game be more fun after a probably heavy weekend play schedule doing repairs to ships or mining to some good music?

Hope everyone is having a great Monday. And remember ... we are looking for ex-UEE Naval and Marine pilots who want to get out of the rut of civilian boredom, and get back into the cockpit mission oriented putting warheads on foreheads ...

[Vigilant_Actual]

Awesome forums, I just got familiar with it. Training was a blast on Sunday and we just got everyone who couldn't make it on Sunday caught up on Monday. If there is any questions that you might have, you can post here or send myself or NightVain a PM on anything that you might want to ask. We are a pretty tight knit group at the moment and we are looking to welcome similar individuals into the fold. If realism and a backbone of roleplay sounds fun to you, swing by the TS or hit up our site. Again, this is a great forum here and I will be recommending it to others looking for an alternate place to post instead of the RSI forums. 

[Vigilant_Actual]

Good morning folks. I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Just sending a bump. We're small, actually so small right now no one even replies to our recruiting attempts. But we have big dreams in this game, and we're dedicated. Grinding through these damn recruiting posts every day just waiting for a few people to give us a chance.

I thought I'd post a little history about us. We date back to the Starsider server in Star Wars galaxies. A couple weeks ago we found a website that had some of our history which was recorded by a member named Tanda. As the founder of Black Star Legion in 2003, I never knew this individual kept our history alive. We had a group of members that kept our name going for over a decade and for us, in that game, the name Black Star meant something special to everyone. It was a home online in a game where friendships fostered.

Interview with Vall Ion about Black Star Legion

I know a 7 member roster is not very attractive when there are groups that have hundreds. But I ask that you give us an opportunity, and take a look. A few of us will be flying tonight, you're welcome to join.

Have a wonderful weekend.

[Vanguard]

Hey guys, first time poster here and I wanted to invite you to come by and talk to our recruiters in our Teamspeak. We can discuss Bounty Hunting and Redeemer Gunship tactics. These are primarily going to be my major passions in the 'Verse. 

[Vigilant_Actual]

Hey bro I just changed my profile pic to match yours, we should all keep our profile pics the same lol! Top secret! 

[Vigilant_Actual]

Good morning star citizens! Had a great discusion last night TS about Space Warfare Officers (SWOs) and the training pipeline the will complete before sitting in the captains chair of a capital ship in the great Black Star Legion fleet. Also we had a pretty good time bullshitting as well. If you have an interest in captaining capital ships or shootin the bull with come over to the TS and pull up a chair.

[Vigilant_Actual]

What up guys, let us know if you are interested in specific units in Black Star Legion, we can get you started on very challenging and incredibly fun training pipeline that will put you on the fast track for the frontlines. 

[Vigilant_Actual]

So citizencon 2015 dropped and we got a lot of surprises. New ship called the Saber, Squadron 42 cast reveal, the Idris is extremely massive, and the PU demo was flushed out a lot more. While we don't have a lot of timelines or deadlines, there is a lot that people are gearing up for a Alpha 2.0 release by the end of the year. What do you think? What are you doing to prepare?

[Quette]

Welcome to the home of Black Star Legion. We represent a high-speed, premiere Realism unit that engages Star Citizen, we enjoy gaming with a higher level of fun, immersion and professionalism so that members know they are earning their self confidence, progression, achievements, ranks and stories.

[Vigilant_Actual]

Welcome aboard, Rct N. Acre, Rct Ri Nakamura!

Hey everyone,

 

To anyone who is looking for a Star Citizen org, I would like to extend an offer to join Black Star Legion.  We are a mil-sim group looking to grow our organization.  As we are just starting to grow we are looking for marines, corpsmen, pilots, and crew members.  

 

Now you might be asking yourself what is a mil-sim group and how will I fit?

 

To answer this question, I will lay out a few points that make us unique:

 

-The organization’s structure is modeled off the US military as many of our leaders and members are currently in or where previously in the US military.  As such there are paths to allow you to move into a leadership position other than just being good friends with the organization leadership.

 

-The organization provides training to help you grow both in and out of game.  You start off in Recruit training where we introduce you to the Organizations History, how we do things, and what we expect from you.  From there we have training programs structure for whatever assignment you are looking to do for us.

Being a mil-sim group is all about ensuring everyone’s playing time is spent having fun and getting something accomplished instead of not truly being sure that the guy next to you has any clue what they are doing.

 

The organization also provide these key benefits:

-Family first atmosphere – We understand that everyone has real world commitments and respect that

-Ability to make a difference – As we are just starting to grow, You will have the opportunity to assume a leadership position if you choose, and we value any input you provide as we are still fleshing out some concepts.

-Organization provided equipment – Once you have completed the required training course the organization will provide all the needed equipment, this means uniforms, weapons, ships, armor, components, etc.

-Weekly events – Each unit has a weekly event to get to know each other and to provide training.  Also the Organization as whole has weekly events to pull everyone together.

 

Also just so you are aware we do have a few requirements to join to ensure you are a match for the organization:

1. AGE: Our minimum age requirement is 18, EIGHTEEN. The only exception to this will be Real Life families who join together, in this case, children joining with their parents’ consent can be NO YOUNGER than 13 years old – Parents will be held responsible for actions of their teenagers. We expect ALL members to act as responsible adults while having fun socially. This is also a social community that is intended for mature audiences while being respectful.

2. FORUM REGISTRATION: You must register on our forums BEFORE posting an application. Please ensure your RSI handle, and your handle on our forums are the same. Thanks, makes everyone’s lives a lot easier.

3. STAR CITIZEN: You MUST be able to log in – and play SC. We will not process your application without a valid Citizen Dossier Number. Due to our current schedule requirements each month both organization wide and across our Local Units, membership must be able to log in and play the game at the time of application submission. As Star Citizen advances and more is released, this will become more and more frequent.

4. TEAM SPEAK: You MUST have TS installed, with a working headset / microphone. Because we utilized in-game radio communications, we require all members to be able to verbally communicate. No Exceptions.

5. ATTENDANCE: You MUST be able to attend weekly events. We require a minimum of 3 events per month. If you cannot attend you are REQUIRED to notify your Chain of Command via forums, PM, LOA thread (we totally understand people have lives. Real life comes first! Just let people know.)

 

Your next steps:

1. Checkout our website (www.jtf8.com) and our forums (http://www.jtf8.com/forums/index.php)

2. Send me a reply back.  If you are interested in join please apply on both the RSI org page (https://robertsspaceindustries.com/orgs/Black6) and our forums.  If you are not interested, we would also like a reply in case there are any misconceptions or issue we can clear up.

 

Thanks!

ALCON,

  This is a tentative inquiry for more information.  The idea of an organized immersive group that would operate with a level of professionalism is an ideal concept to myself.  I am currently in the military and won't be able to play until a later date, thus the tentative inquiry.  Immersion for myself would also include the Oculus Rift, Virtuix Omni, and possibly custom mouse/keyboard.  I mention this since gameplay would be more immersive for myself but possibly take away in PVP situations where 3rd person would provide a better vantage point.  I was curious if this would be a factor since to some avid gamers it would be a self imposed handicap.  Depending on times when you utilize Teamspeak, I could see if could correspond accordingly.  I would very much like to discuss some of your mission ideals and what else you may have planned for your future.  With the advent of Virtual Reality I have been searching for games that would create an immersive atmosphere.  I believe Star Citizen would encompass what I am looking for and hope that maybe I could have an ETP in regards to the being unable to play.  My participation would be isolated to sitting in on TeamSpeak depending on certain time constraints and participation on forums.  I understand that if this isn't sufficient participation and would prefer to not to approve this request, I would not hold it against your Team.  Signing out.

Thank you for the inquiry.  We'd be happy to have you come aboard and if you've got some real life stuff that prevents you from playing, not a problem.  Real life always comes first brother.  I'm managing my real world military career as well.

Why don't you hop into Teamspeak and chat with me (or us) a little.  TS Info Link

Happy holidays!  And I look forward to speaking with you more.

[Quette]

I'd like to welcome brent209 into the BSL family! Get some!

[Quette]

Happy New Year!
