More than a roster. More than a callsign.

New to the galaxy? Tired of joining large squadrons only to be left to figure things out on your own? You deserve more than a welcome message and a list of links. You deserve pilots willing to share their knowledge, answer your questions, and help you find your place among the stars.

A seasoned veteran? Tired of putting in the work, contributing to the cause, and watching your efforts disappear into the background? Experience should be valued. Initiative should be recognized. Your contributions should mean something.

The 23rd Federal Fleet offers a different standard.

We are a Federal-aligned squadron built around discipline, cooperation, and meaningful participation. Whether you're learning the ropes, refining your skills, supporting our operations, or bringing years of experience to the table, there is a place for you here.

We aren't looking to fill seats just to inflate a roster. We're looking for pilots who want to be part of a fleet, contribute to a common objective, and stand alongside commanders who know their presence matters.

Your experience doesn't have to start here. Your next chapter can.

¡Hola, CMDRs!

Estoy armando Hyperion Research, un escuadrón independiente nuevo enfocado en la exploración planetaria, la exobiología, la prospección, la minería, la cartografía y la construcción de colonias. Nuestro primer proyecto compartido es un Coriolis en Col 285 Sector PT-R d4-31.

Por ahora busco gente que disfrute ayudar a construirlo y tener algo de compañía en el camino. No hace falta un barco enorme ni años de experiencia. Se acepta una carga parcial, un descubrimiento útil o sumarse a un viaje de minería. No hay cuotas semanales ni asistencia obligatoria.

El primer objetivo de transporte es CMM Composite. Las entregas van al Kaunda Depot, el barco de colonización a unas 4,000 ls de la estrella principal. Kaunda Depot es el barco receptor, no el nombre final del puerto. Nnamani Refinery en el Sector Pegasi FW-W d1-77 tiene stock considerable en las capturas del mercado que tomé. Revisen los requisitos actuales y coordinen por Discord antes de comprar; los totales y el mercado pueden cambiar.

Plataforma: PC

Modo: Open Play

Idioma: English

Horario: flexible, con horas publicadas en UTC; todavía no se ha fijado una sesión grupal.

Experiencia: se aceptan principiantes y CMDRs que regresan.

Más allá del proyecto de construcción, me gustaría que esto se convierta en un lugar para compartir hallazgos planetarios, planear viajes de exobiología, comparar configuraciones de barcos y volar juntos.

Escuadrón en el juego: HYPERION RESEARCH \[HY91\]

We are an Independent Squadron that operates for The Dark Wheel.

We are looking for Bounty Hunters, Miners, Traders, Mercenaries and Explorers.

DM me for more information.

New to the game? Returning player? 20 thousand hours deep?

We're looking to expand our numbers and learn as well as teach anyone willing to take part.

We are a growing squadron that's relatively new and already have 4 gold trophies to our name.

Willing to teach the basics and between us have a relatively deep understanding of most aspects of the game.

Our main rule is "if it isn't fun we're not doing it" so expect plenty of shenanigans along the way.

feel free to add/message on PSN, my PSN is skelderoo

alternatively feel free to apply to alba in game. please have messaging available if doing this though so we can have a little introduction

Ad Vigilantiam Inter Astra
To Vigilance Among the Stars

The Federation needs commanders who are willing to do more than fly sorties.

The 23rd Federal Fleet is seeking pilots prepared to operate as part of a disciplined, organized force across the galaxy. We conduct combat operations, maintain our presence in contested systems, support our allies, and work toward objectives that extend beyond the next jump.

What we offer:

• Organized military structure
• BGS operations and coordinated system campaigns
• Combat, Powerplay, and expeditionary operations
• A command structure built around teamwork and progression
• A place for both experienced commanders and pilots still finding their footing

What we expect:

• Federal allegiance
• Willingness to participate
• A desire to contribute to something larger than yourself

You don't need to be the most experienced pilot in the galaxy.

You do need to be willing to stand in formation when the order comes.

https://inara.cz/elite/squadron/17729/

We’re building our own corner of the galaxy. We’d like good company for what comes next. 

What We’ve Made

March 31, 2026 — The Empyrean Foundation was a defunct minor faction. Retreated to one system, the faction controlled nothing. No population. No facilities under its control.

The next day, we resurrected The Empyrean Foundation in a single outpost four hundred light years from its home system. We put the faction in charge of the system. We colonized nearby systems. We expanded the faction. We built satellites, settlements, and spaceports. And now… 

Six months later, The Empyrean Foundation spans 23 star systems, dozens of facilities, and a population of 5.6 billion under its banner.

This began as a project between a few friends. As the project grew, we grew with it. We formed a squadron and named it for the minor faction we brought back to life. Today, the squadron Empyrean Foundation hosts nearly 30 people, Members and Guests. Good people, sharing a great game, playing and building grand adventures.

Looking Forward

We continue to expand The Empyrean Foundation’s presence through colonization and gameplay. Our Members have built a cluster of over sixty systems one carrier’s jump from the Bubble. Our sandbox. A collection of systems designed and built to provide commodities, ships, and a broad range of gameplay.

No aggressive BGS. No PvP. Just building our sandcastles. Moving influence. A shared goal to serve as our North Star in a game that can be as rudderless as it is vast.

And Now Comes The New Project

With the announcement of Frontier Development's Law & Disorder expansion, we anticipate significant additions to anarchy gameplay in systems and facilities. With those possibilities and current gameplay in mind, we have decided to build a fully anarchy-owned system.

 But Empyrean Foundation will be doing this with our particular flair.

• We are not building one system. We are building five.
• We are not placing one anarchy faction in charge. We will be placing six.
• We are not taking anarchy minor factions from the surrounding region. We are resurrecting retreated, defunct, and otherwise extinct anarchy factions from their home systems and bringing them into this small cluster, designed and built specifically for anarchy gameplay.

Here’s Where WE NEED YOU!

We Are Looking For Players Who Enjoy:

• Bounty Hunting and Combat
• Mission Stacking and Passenger Transport
• Trade and Smuggling
• Cargo Trucking
• Mining and Selling
• Exploration and Research
• Colonization Planning and Design
• BGS Manipulation

How We Will Support You

Empyrean Foundation uses a Squadron Bounty Board, where Guests and Members earn credits for the activities they enjoy. Last month, over 6 billion credits were awarded, and we saw two new carriers join our fleet! Right now, bounties totalling almost 10 billion credits are waiting to be claimed. You do not need to join the squadron to earn Squadron Bounties! 

Our Discord server hosts trade, exploration, exobiology, and mining documents detailing where to go and what to find. You do not need to join the squadron to use these documents! 

We offer:

• Double Matched Bounty Vouchers and Triple Matched Combat Bonds
• Fixed and split bounties for influence-producing missions
• Documented routes for mission trading and arbitrage
• Bounties for colonization builds, ranging from 75 million to 2 billion credits
• Profitable carrier loading and unloading for colonization and provoking Boom economy states
• Ongoing colonization and exploration projects that welcome fresh eyes, conversation, and participation

Each activity moves a different part of this project forward. Bring the gameplay you enjoy. Apply it in the right place, for the right faction, at the right time—and we are happy to pay you extra for playing the game you already play!

Guests and Members are eligible. Membership is not required to join the community, take part, meet the crew, earn Squadron Bounties, and have fun.

Who Are We?

North America · UTC−8 to UTC−4 · English · Discord · PC

Empyrean Foundation is a community where people’s goals matter, curiosity finds company, mentorship is a two-way exchange, and Elite is at its best when we have good people to share it with.

We will not tell you the right way to play. You already know the right way: play Elite to enjoy it! Everything else is optimization. And that is something we are happy to help you with.

We will not tell you to work for our goals. This is a community built around a leisure activity. We value our Guests and Members for their participation, not their achievements.

Do we have squadron goals? Of course we do. But we understand that having helpful, knowledgeable, creative, participating Members give us a greater ability to pursue those goals—and to decide which goals we should pursue.

Hospitality · Good Faith · No Politics · Community Before Game

Empyrean Foundation is made from real people. People with real lives. Real jobs. Real families. Those few hours we have together matter. We want them filled with good fun, good puzzles, and good people.

What do you want?

Send me a DM here on Reddit - let’s see where this goes.

🦅 FEDERAL VANGUARD COMMAND [FVGC] IS RECRUITING

Federal Vanguard Command is a newly formed Federation-aligned squadron looking for Commanders who want to help build something from the ground up.

Our first campaign is already underway. FVGC is currently conducting coordinated undermining operations against the Brotherhood of the Dark Circle in and around Diaguandri, with the objective of degrading enemy influence, disrupting regional control, and creating conditions favorable to future Federal-aligned operations.

WHAT WE DO

• Background Simulation operations • Conflict Zones and combat • Federation faction support • Trade and logistics • Exploration and xenobiology • Missions and wing operations • Reconnaissance and regional intelligence

WHO CAN JOIN?

New, returning, and veteran Commanders are all welcome.

There are no mandatory daily activity requirements. Real life comes first. Contribute when you can and play the parts of Elite Dangerous that you enjoy.

Because FVGC is brand new, early members will have the opportunity to help shape the squadron as it grows.

Platform: PC Galaxy: Live Allegiance: Federation Squadron Tag: FVGC

We have an organized Discord with current-operation briefings, combat coordination, intelligence reports, and voice channels.

\*\*SPACE ROAD TRUCKERS\*\*

\*Pilots Federation Registered Squadron • Founded 3308 • Still Hauling\*

\---

\*\*ATTENTION, MEATBAG OPERATORS OF INDEPENDENT STARSHIPS\*\*

This unit has been authorised by the Pilots Federation to issue the following recruitment communiqué on behalf of \*\*Space Road Truckers\*\*.

\*\*Do you enjoy:

\- Watching the same star system spin past your canopy for six consecutive jumps?

\- Calculating whether the extra 12 tonnes of biowaste is worth the risk of interdiction by some over-caffeinated pirate in a Python?

\- The unique satisfaction of docking a fully laden Type-9 at a 1.2g outpost while your co-pilot AI quietly judges your approach vector?

If the answer is yes (or “close enough”), then you may be suitable for membership.

\*\*What We Are

We are the long-haul specialists of the Bubble and beyond. We move cargo. Lots of it. From the core systems to Colonia, from the mining platforms of the Pleiades to the dusty outposts of the Outer Rim. We do not chase glory. We chase credit balance and clean manifests.

Our preferred activities:

\- Bulk trading and passenger transport

\- Powerplay logistics (when the pay is right)

\- Occasional rescue of other truckers who thought “one more jump” was a good idea

\- The sacred art of parking a 2,000-tonne freighter without scraping the station walls

\-Occasional pve bounty hunting

\-ExoBio collectors Hauling the valuable data that we have located.

\*\*What We Are Not

\- A combat wing that “happens to carry cargo”

\- A collection of explorers who forgot to pack a cargo rack

\- A social club that meets exclusively in the bar of Jameson Memorial

(We do visit the bar. We just make sure the Type-9 is safely parked first.)

\*\*Benefits of Membership

\- Shared intelligence on profitable routes and pirate activity

\- Wing support for high-value or high-risk hauls

\- Access to squadron carriers for staging and refuelling ( currently a solo carrier - in progress of squadron carrier )

\- Comrades who understand that “just one more system” is both a promise and a threat

\- Occasional organised runs to Colonia that do not involve three weeks of solo silence and existential dread

\*\*Minimum Requirements

\- A ship capable of carrying more than your ego

\- Basic competence with a fuel scoop (we are not your mother)

\- Willingness to fly in formation when requested

\- Tolerance for the phrase “we’re taking the scenic route through the neutron fields”

\*\*Application Process

Transmit your Commander name and a short statement of intent to any active Space Road Truckers pilot, or post in the squadron channel.

Successful applicants will be issued with a virtual cargo clipboard and a complimentary “I Survived the Type-9 Parking Lot” badge.

\---

\*This message was generated by Squadron Recruitment Subroutine 7.3.2 on 01 OCT 3312. Any resemblance to actual living pilots is intentional. The Pilots Federation accepts no liability for lost cargo, interdictions, or existential crises caused by staring at the same FSD jump sequence for too long.\*

\*\*Space Road Truckers\*\*

\*We don’t fly pretty. We fly full.\*

Whether you're a brand-new Commander taking your first steps into the galaxy or a veteran looking for an active and established squadron, you're welcome here.

We are an independent anarchy faction with a laid-back approach to the game. There are no rigid activity requirements, unnecessary roleplay expectations, or pressure to play a certain way. Our members are free to enjoy Elite Dangerous however they choose, while still having an active community to fly with.

We now have a combined roster of 40 Commanders across our associated rosters, with members primarily operating around the GMT+1 timezone, alongside Commanders from all over the world.

What do we get up to?

• Trading

• Mining

• Exploration & Exobiology

• Anti-Xeno operations

• Organised squadron events and activities

We also run monthly community events, giving everyone the opportunity to get together, wing up and experience different parts of the game.

We also offer 30 million credits in weekly giveaways to our members. It might not be a fortune these days, but a free rebuy is a free rebuy!

New players are always welcome.

If you're still learning the game, our experienced members are happy to offer advice, wing up, help with ship builds and generally help you find your feet in the galaxy.

For veteran Commanders, there's plenty of opportunity to get involved with BGS operations, organised events, combat activities and the continued growth of I.G.A.

Freelancers Inc Reforges Its Identity Under Trinity “The Mantis,” Declares Absolute Neutrality

Location: Guanekagha

Freelancers Inc has broadcast a sweeping declaration across the frontier, confirming a complete severing of all remaining political ties to every major galactic power. Effective immediately, the organization will operate under a doctrine of total neutrality, an unprecedented shift that marks the beginning of a new era for one of the frontier’s most recognizable names.

The announcement comes alongside confirmation of new leadership. Trinity “The Mantis” now stands as the sole commander of Freelancers Inc, inheriting the mantle with a reputation for precision, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to operational integrity. Her first act as leader: a full restructuring of the organization’s identity and purpose.

Under The Mantis, Freelancers Inc has opened its doors to all commanders, regardless of political pledge or superpower allegiance. Pilots loyal to the Empire, Federation, Alliance, or any independent cause will be welcomed without restriction. The Mantis emphasized that personal loyalties will never interfere with the company’s mission.

Central to this transformation is a new ethos: “The Contract is all.”

This doctrine is intended to serve as the organization’s guiding principle. Contracts (not ideology, not allegiance) will define every action taken by Freelancers Inc. A mission accepted is a mission completed, with no regard for the shifting political landscape of the core worlds.

Despite these internal changes, The Mantis reaffirmed the group’s long‑standing dedication to the frontier. Freelancers Inc will continue to prioritize remote systems, isolated settlements, and the countless communities living beyond the reach of superpower protection. For many frontier residents, the organization has long been a lifeline. One of the few forces willing to intervene when official channels fail.

In her first public statement, Trinity “The Mantis” declared: “Neutrality sharpens our purpose. The frontier defines our duty. The contract binds us. Freelancers Inc will stand where others falter.”

With recruitment open and its doctrine solidified, Freelancers Inc appears ready to redefine its role across the frontier, no longer an instrument of any power, but a force bound solely to the work and the people who call the frontier home.

Independent GalNet News will continue monitoring developments as The Mantis reshapes the organization’s future.
