The Freemen Code
- 1. A Freeman always answers a distress call from another Freeman, delaying all other operations to save our own.
- 2. All profits, salvage, and cargo are shared equally among crew members, and aid freely given shall be repaid in kind.
- 3. Every captain has absolute control over their own ships, funds, locker, and chosen working gigs, without top-down orders.
- 4. Betrayal, cowardice, or theft are settled instantly on the spot with brutal firepower by the players present.
- 5. Absolute traitors are permanently exiled by a collective vote, losing all network protection forever.
THE FREEMEN OATH
"I swear to submit to no master, wear no chain, and let no tyrant dictate my worth. My fleet and funds are mine alone, but my loyalty belongs to the collective at my wing. I will answer the beacon when kin calls, regardless of profit, contract, or flag. I will share fairly, speak plainly, and settle debts on the grid in blood and firepower. Should I break this vow, strike my name from the ledger and leave me to face the vacuum alone."
THE FREEMEN CODE — SECTION VI: THE MARGIN
"The UEE owns the lanes, the Orgs own the stations, but the deep belongs to those who defend their own. He who claims the Margin offers up his freedom, his voice, his locker, and his breath—surrendering all autonomy to the sovereign deck that receives him. He who accepts the Margin binds his thrusters, his fuel, his ship, and his life to the survival of the claimant until safe harbor is won. Should the captain turn his back or leave kin to face the vacuum alone, let the collective strike his name, tear his mark from the ledger, and hunt his hull to scrap."
