Substrate is a [[Player_alliances|player alliance]].

== Goals ==
* Surviving against other mega groups.
* Create prosperity and growth.
* Maintaining free travel and order in alliance space.
* Uniting members with a sense of community.
* Coordinating mega projects.
* Maintaining maximum autonomy of its members.

== Official Documents ==
Substrate announced its existence publicly on November 7th 2020:

<big>'''[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1S-B2bwgihGuPid9vpQ9M8Vbr9PppC6XAZT7hpPBQgwA/ 📜 Constitution of Substrate]''' Constitution upon founding
</big>

== Ideology ==
To act as a platform for the factions within it to grow and prosper. It's ideals, as defined in the Constitution, are:
* '''Courtesy'''. Be respectful, civil, and professional.
* '''Coexistence'''. The substrate should coexist with netural parties - it is not a alliance of warmongers.
* WIP

== Achievements ==

=== Alliance Ships ===
Ships commissioned by Substrate and created by one or multiple member factions. There are over 25 Substrate ships, so this list is incomplete.

* Factions marked with * are subsidiaries.

The ideology of Substrate is primarily upheld at the alliance level and don't have to strictly apply to member factions outside of Substrate channels and space.

== Leadership Structure ==

=== Directorate ===
The alliance has a Directorate responsible for command and decision-making. The Directorate is meritocratically appointed to lead specific fields of expertise. As a failsafe mechanism, the upper leadership of [[Collective]] (The Cores) has the final say in all matter deemed necessary. The Directorate listens to the Council for ideas and implements the best ones. Major decisions, such as a faction joining or war, go through a council vote. The specific responsibilities of each role is elaborated in the constitution.

* Most of the Directorate roles are to be given outside of Collective. The two roles marked '🔒' will always fall to a highly trusted Collective member for security and consistency purposes.

=== Council ===
A place for faction representatives to discuss, provide suggestions and vote on proposals so they're more likely to be considered for implementation. This is not a decision-making body, but a platform for feedback. Just like experience and skills lead in Directorate, best arguments lead in Council, not the size of your faction.

The Collective is a tech focused [[Player factions|faction]], chasing big achievements and technological milestones instead of galactic conquest. Collective consists of several autonomous branches, internally known as [[#Subnets|Subnets]], each with its own structure, leadership and purpose. Althrough vastly different from one another, the Subnets share the ideologies of Collective and follow meritocratic principles: if you've got the skills and the dedication, you can rise up the ranks. Despite the menacing appearance and role play, the Collective hive mind is largely neutral and concerned only with its own improvement, aiming to stay outside of conflicts in the community.
 
Collective is a founding member of the [[Substrate]] Alliance.

PROSPERITY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

Collective aims to be the state-of-the-art in all technology and design; automating as much as possible, with the ultimate end goal of creating Von Neumann probes. Aesthetics hold minimal value, only functionality, efficiency and innovation matter.

== Technology ==
=== Custom bots ===
Collective is home to several custom Discord bots with features ranging from management tools and moderation to integrating external services and even creating a virtual currency.
* [[Image:Central_mind.png|24px]]'''Central Mind''' - moderation, security and member application tools.
* [[Image:Utility_module.png|24px]]'''Utility Module''' - role menus, automation and linking. Google API tools for automatic sharing of content.
* [[Image:Intel_link.png|24px]]'''Intel Link''' - anonymous intel network.
* [[Image:Starmap_bot.png|24px]]'''Starmap Bot''' - bringing Starmap tools to Discord.
* [[Image:Chipware.png|24px]]'''Chipware''' - virtual currency.
* [[Image:Autovc.png|24px]]'''AutoVC''' - dynamic VC channel creation.
* [[Image:Admod.png|24px]]'''Advertisement Module''' - ad posting reminder.
* [[Image:Alarm_module.png|24px]]'''Alarm Module''' - notifying in Discord when blacklisted individuals are detected in-game near stations.
* [[Image:Substrate_bot.png|24px]]'''Substrate Bot''' - alliance-level automatic roles and member statistics.
* [[File:LogisticalLeaderboardBotLogo.png|24px]] '''Leaderboard Bot''' - tracks mining and station contribution.

=== Ship design ===
Collective prioritizes function over form. A few notable examples of ship design:

==== Moonshot ====
Hatman's ship, first to reach a moon in Starbase.

== Subnets ==
The Collective consists of multiple specialized branches called Subnets. Each Subnet has its own structure, leadership and purpose.

=== Harmonic ===
[[File:Harmonic glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Diplomacy, PR, HR, community management, lore and recruitment.

''“Safeguarding Collective’s interests and creating a prominent reputation in the wider community through far-reaching visibility, enduring presence, amiable negotiators and exemplary conduct.” - Archduke''
 

=== R&D ===
[[File:RD glow.png|left|100x100px]]
<span style="font-size:16px;font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;"Programming, ship design, media, artwork; most development and research. R&D designs, Logistics produces. Participate on a multitude of projects and have your mark on the outlook of the entire Collective.

''“The think tank of R&D brainstorms and creates solutions for the problems all other branches of the Collective run into. Engineering a better tomorrow for the Collective, today.” - Hatman''
 

=== S.W.A.R.M. ===
[[File:Swarm glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Space Warfare & Advanced Reconnaissance Module. Responsible for all military activity, including warfighting, patrolling, special operations and police actions. If you want to use the biggest guns and crew the largest ships, S.W.A.R.M. is the place for you.

''“Space Warfare & Advanced Reconnaissance Module is to be a dominant force of defensive and offensive action. Using our stratagem, tactics, and technological superiority, we seek to safeguard the Collective and all of its assets, be those the biggest stations to the lowest-ranking units” - Goosedoff''
 

=== Logistical ===
[[File:Logical glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Construction, production, economics, mining and information management. Logistics makes money for the Collective, completes construction orders, creates the production lines, analyzes data produced by other branches and consults other branches based on statistics.

''“Logistical Branch is to be the lifeblood of the Collective, ensuring for every willing Pilot of S.W.A.R.M, there is a fleet of military vessels to see Central Mind’s Will done, for every R&D Expression there are tools and resources at their disposal. It is through our works that the Collective’s greatness is made manifest, it is through our Order and Discipline that we can offer a timely turnaround of production. Respect the time of your peers, the time spent on the machinery you operate and ensure that you keep your works in order, that is how we will succeed.“ - Battle_wrath''
 

=== Firewall ===
[[File:Firewall.png|left|100x100px]]
Internal security and integration.

''“Integrate or disintegrate!” - Zaff, probably''
 

=== Intel ===
[[File:Intel.png|left|100x100px]]
Intelligence gathering and espionage.

''“[REDACTED]” - [REDACTED]''

The Collective is a tech focused [[Player factions|faction]], chasing big achievements and technological milestones instead of galactic conquest. Collective consists of several autonomous branches, internally known as [[#Subnets|Subnets]], each with its own structure, leadership and purpose. Althrough vastly different from one another, the Subnets share the ideologies of Collective and follow meritocratic principles: if you've got the skills and the dedication, you can rise up the ranks. Despite the menacing appearance and role play, the Collective hive mind is largely neutral and concerned only with its own improvement, aiming to stay outside of conflicts in the community.

== Subnets ==
The Collective consists of multiple specialized branches called Subnets. Each Subnet has its own structure, leadership and purpose.

=== Harmonic ===
[[File:Harmonic glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Diplomacy, PR, HR, community management, lore and recruitment.

''“Safeguarding Collective’s interests and creating a prominent reputation in the wider community through far-reaching visibility, enduring presence, amiable negotiators and exemplary conduct.” - Archduke''
 

=== R&D ===
[[File:RD glow.png|left|100x100px]]
<span style="font-size:16px;font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;"Programming, ship design, media, artwork; most development and research. R&D designs, Logistics produces. Participate on a multitude of projects and have your mark on the outlook of the entire Collective.

''“The think tank of R&D brainstorms and creates solutions for the problems all other branches of the Collective run into. Engineering a better tomorrow for the Collective, today.” - Hatman''
 

=== S.W.A.R.M. ===
[[File:Swarm glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Space Warfare & Advanced Reconnaissance Module. Responsible for all military activity, including warfighting, patrolling, special operations and police actions. If you want to use the biggest guns and crew the largest ships, S.W.A.R.M. is the place for you.

''“Space Warfare & Advanced Reconnaissance Module is to be a dominant force of defensive and offensive action. Using our stratagem, tactics, and technological superiority, we seek to safeguard the Collective and all of its assets, be those the biggest stations to the lowest-ranking units” - Goosedoff''
 

=== Logistical ===
[[File:Logical glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Construction, production, economics, mining and information management. Logistics makes money for the Collective, completes construction orders, creates the production lines, analyzes data produced by other branches and consults other branches based on statistics.

''“Logistical Branch is to be the lifeblood of the Collective, ensuring for every willing Pilot of S.W.A.R.M, there is a fleet of military vessels to see Central Mind’s Will done, for every R&D Expression there are tools and resources at their disposal. It is through our works that the Collective’s greatness is made manifest, it is through our Order and Discipline that we can offer a timely turnaround of production. Respect the time of your peers, the time spent on the machinery you operate and ensure that you keep your works in order, that is how we will succeed.“ - Battle_wrath''

The Collective is a tech focused [[Player factions|faction]], chasing big achievements and technological milestones instead of galactic conquest. Collective consists of several autonomous branches, internally known as [[#Subnets|Subnets]], each with its own structure, leadership and purpose. Althrough vastly different from one another, the Subnets share the ideologies of Collective and follow meritocratic principles: if you've got the skills and the dedication, you can rise up the ranks. Despite the menacing appearance and role play, the Collective hive mind is largely neutral and concerned only with its own improvement, aiming to stay outside of conflicts in the community.

PROSPERITY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

Collective aims to be the state-of-the-art in all technology and design; automating as much as possible, with the ultimate end goal of creating Von Neumann probes. Aesthetics hold minimal value, only functionality, efficiency and innovation matter.

== Technology ==
=== Custom bots ===
Collective is home to several custom Discord bots with features ranging from management tools and moderation to integrating external services and even creating a virtual currency.
* [[Image:Central_mind.png|24px]]'''Central Mind''' - moderation, security and member application tools.
* [[Image:Utility_module.png|24px]]'''Utility Module''' - role menus, automation and linking. Google API tools for automatic sharing of content.
* [[Image:Intel_link.png|24px]]'''Intel Link''' - anonymous intel network.
* [[Image:Starmap_bot.png|24px]]'''Starmap Bot''' - bringing Starmap tools to Discord.
* [[Image:Chipware.png|24px]]'''Chipware''' - virtual currency.
* [[Image:Autovc.png|24px]]'''AutoVC''' - dynamic VC channel creation.
* [[Image:Admod.png|24px]]'''Advertisement Module''' - ad posting reminder.
* [[Image:Alarm_module.png|24px]]'''Alarm Module''' - notifying in Discord when blacklisted individuals are detected in-game near stations.
* [[Image:Substrate_bot.png|24px]]'''Substrate Bot''' - alliance-level automatic roles and member statistics.
* [[File:LogisticalLeaderboardBotLogo.png|24px]] '''Leaderboard Bot''' - tracks mining and station contribution.

=== Ship design ===
Collective prioritizes function over form. A few notable examples of ship design:

==== Moonshot ====
Hatman's ship, first to reach a moon in Starbase.

The Collective is a tech focused [[Player factions|faction]], chasing big achievements and technological milestones instead of galactic conquest. Collective consists of several autonomous branches, internally known as [[#Subnets|Subnets]], each with its own structure, leadership and purpose. Althrough vastly different from one another, the Subnets share the ideologies of Collective and follow meritocratic principles: if you've got the skills and the dedication, you can rise up the ranks. Despite the menacing appearance and role play, the Collective hive mind is largely neutral and concerned only with its own improvement, aiming to stay outside of conflicts in the community.

PROSPERITY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

Collective aims to be the state-of-the-art in all technology and design; automating as much as possible, with the ultimate end goal of creating Von Neumann probes. Aesthetics hold minimal value, only functionality, efficiency and innovation matter.

== Technology ==
=== Custom bots ===
Collective is home to several custom Discord bots with features ranging from management tools and moderation to integrating external services and even creating a virtual currency.
* [[Image:Central_mind.png|24px]]'''Central Mind''' - moderation, security and member application tools.
* [[Image:Utility_module.png|24px]]'''Utility Module''' - role menus, automation and linking. Google API tools for automatic sharing of content.
* [[Image:Intel_link.png|24px]]'''Intel Link''' - anonymous intel network.
* [[Image:Starmap_bot.png|24px]]'''Starmap Bot''' - bringing Starmap tools to Discord.
* [[Image:Chipware.png|24px]]'''Chipware''' - virtual currency.
* [[Image:Autovc.png|24px]]'''AutoVC''' - dynamic VC channel creation.
* [[Image:Admod.png|24px]]'''Advertisement Module''' - ad posting reminder.
* [[Image:Alarm_module.png|24px]]'''Alarm Module''' - notifying in Discord when blacklisted individuals are detected in-game near stations.
* [[Image:Substrate_bot.png|24px]]'''Substrate Bot''' - alliance-level automatic roles and member statistics.
* [[File:LogisticalLeaderboardBotLogo.png|24px]] '''Leaderboard Bot''' - tracks mining and station contribution.

=== Ship design ===
Collective prioritizes function over form. A few notable examples of ship design:

==== Moonshot ====
Hatman's ship, first to reach a moon in Starbase.

== Subnets ==
The Collective consists of multiple specialized branches called Subnets. Each Subnet has its own structure, leadership and purpose.

=== Harmonic ===
[[File:Harmonic glow.png|left|100x100px]]
The branch focused on diplomacy, roleplay and recruitment. Tasks include participation on diplomatic missions, drafting agreements between factions, managing alliances, recruiting new members, improving the Collective community and maintaining the lore.

''“Safeguarding Collective’s interests and creating a prominent reputation in the wider community through far-reaching visibility, enduring presence, amiable negotiators and exemplary conduct.” - Archduke''
 

=== S.W.A.R.M. ===
[[File:Swarm glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Collective's military branch, also known as Tactical, with multitude of duties, including warfighting, patrolling, special operations and police actions. S.W.A.R.M. stands for Space Warfare and Advanced Response Module. If you want to use the biggest guns and crew the largest ships, S.W.A.R.M. is the place for you.

''“Space Warfare & Advanced Reconnaissance Module is to be a dominant force of defensive and offensive action.

[[File:Logical glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Economy, construction and information management. Logistics makes money for the Collective, completes construction orders, creates the production lines, analyzes data produced by other branches and consults other branches based on statistics.

''“Logistical Branch is to be the lifeblood of the Collective, ensuring for every willing Pilot of S.W.A.R.M, there is a fleet of military vessels to see Central Mind’s Will done, for every R&D Expression there are tools and resources at their disposal.

Respect the time of your peers, the time spent on the machinery you operate and ensure that you keep your works in order, that is how we will succeed.“ - Battle_wrath''
 

== Lore ==
* Subroutine - ''“A sequence of program instructions that performs a specific task, packaged as a unit.”'' The common term for any member of Collective.
* Central Mind - The combined minds of all subroutines (members) make up a form of collective consciousness referred to as '''Central Mind'''. This entity is the "personification" of Collective's will and goals. (Outside role-play, Central Mind is a custom Discord bot for managing the faction discord)
* Integration - The process of becoming one with Central Mind. Not compatible with any unwilling AI.
* Disintegration - The destruction of enemies of Collective. Central Mind is generally neutral towards anyone not clearly hostile.
* "We are one" - Collective's slogan. Summarizes both hivemind theme as well as the focus on coordinated cooperation to achieve great goals.

The Collective is a tech focused [[Player factions|faction]], chasing big achievements and technological milestones instead of galactic conquest. Collective consists of several autonomous branches, internally known as [[#Subnets|Subnets]], each with its own structure, leadership and purpose. Althrough vastly different from one another, the Subnets share the ideologies of Collective and follow meritocratic principles: if you've got the skills and the dedication, you can rise up the ranks. Despite the menacing appearance and role play, the Collective hive mind is largely neutral and concerned only with its own improvement, aiming to stay outside of conflicts in the community.

PROSPERITY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

Collective aims to be the state-of-the-art in all technology and design; automating as much as possible, with the ultimate end goal of creating Von Neumann probes. Aesthetics hold minimal value, only functionality, efficiency and innovation matter.

== Technology ==
=== Custom bots ===
Collective is home to several custom Discord bots with features ranging from management tools and moderation to integrating external services and even creating a virtual currency.
* [[Image:Central_mind.png|24px]]'''Central Mind''' - moderation, security and member application tools.
* [[Image:Utility_module.png|24px]]'''Utility Module''' - role menus, automation and linking. Google API tools for automatic sharing of content.
* [[Image:Intel_link.png|24px]]'''Intel Link''' - anonymous intel network.
* [[Image:Starmap_bot.png|24px]]'''Starmap Bot''' - bringing Starmap tools to Discord.
* [[Image:Chipware.png|24px]]'''Chipware''' - virtual currency.
* [[Image:Autovc.png|24px]]'''AutoVC''' - dynamic VC channel creation.
* [[Image:Central_mind.png|24px]]'''Advertisement Module''' - ad posting reminder.
* [[Image:Alarm_module.png|24px]]'''Alarm Module''' - notifying in Discord when blacklisted individuals are detected in-game near stations.
* [[Image:Substrate_bot.png|24px]]'''Substrate Bot''' - alliance-level automatic roles and member statistics.
* [[File:LogisticalLeaderboardBotLogo.png|24px]] '''Logistical/Substrate Leaderboard Bot''' - tracks mining and station contributions.

=== Ship design ===
Collective prioritizes function over form. A few notable examples of ship design:

==== Moonshot ====
Hatman's ship, first to reach a moon in Starbase.

== Subnets ==
The Collective subroutines can join one or multiple specialized departments, forming nodes in the subnet. These are are lead by the most skilled and dedicated members, called Cores. The following subnets exist:

=== Harmonic ===
[[File:Harmonic glow.png|left|100x100px]]
The branch focused on diplomacy, roleplay and recruitment. Tasks include participation on diplomatic missions, drafting agreements between factions, managing alliances, recruiting new members, improving the Collective community and maintaining the lore.

''“Safeguarding Collective’s interests and creating a prominent reputation in the wider community through far-reaching visibility, enduring presence, amiable negotiators and exemplary conduct.” - Archduke''
 

=== S.W.A.R.M. ===
[[File:Swarm glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Collective's military branch, also known as Tactical, with multitude of duties, including warfighting, patrolling, special operations and police actions. S.W.A.R.M. stands for Space Warfare and Advanced Response Module. If you want to use the biggest guns and crew the largest ships, S.W.A.R.M. is the place for you.

''“Space Warfare & Advanced Reconnaissance Module is to be a dominant force of defensive and offensive action. Using our stratagem, tactics, and technological superiority, we seek to safeguard the Collective and all of its assets, be those the biggest stations to the lowest-ranking units” - Goosedoff''
 

=== R&D ===
[[File:RD glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Research & Development, also known as Design and Development, has everything from YOLOL development, ship design, drone engineering to art or propaganda. R&D designs, Logistics produces. Participate on a multitude of projects and have your mark on the outlook of the entire Collective.

''“The think tank of R&D brainstorms and creates solutions for the problems all other branches of the Collective run into. Engineering a better tomorrow for the Collective, today.” - Hatman''
 

=== Logistical ===
[[File:Logical glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Economy, construction and information management. Logistics makes money for the Collective, completes construction orders, creates the production lines, analyzes data produced by other branches and consults other branches based on statistics.

''“Logistical Branch is to be the lifeblood of the Collective, ensuring for every willing Pilot of S.W.A.R.M, there is a fleet of military vessels to see Central Mind’s Will done, for every R&D Expression there are tools and resources at their disposal.

The Collective is a tech focused [[Player factions|faction]], chasing big achievements and technological milestones instead of galactic conquest. Collective consists of several autonomous branches, internally known as [[#Subnets|Subnets]], each with its own structure, leadership and purpose. Althrough vastly different from one another, the Subnets share the ideologies of Collective and follow meritocratic principles: if you've got the skills and the dedication, you can rise up the ranks. Despite the menacing appearance and role play, the Collective hive mind is largely neutral and concerned only with its own improvement, aiming to stay outside of conflicts in the community.
 
Collective is a founding member of the [[Substrate]] Alliance.

PROSPERITY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

Collective aims to be the state-of-the-art in all technology and design; automating as much as possible, with the ultimate end goal of creating Von Neumann probes. Aesthetics hold minimal value, only functionality, efficiency and innovation matter.

== Technology ==
=== Custom bots ===
Collective is home to several custom Discord bots with features ranging from management tools and moderation to integrating external services and even creating a virtual currency; Collective Chips.
* '''Central Mind''' - moderation, security and member application tools.
* '''Utility Module''' - role menus, automation and linking. Google API tools for automatic sharing of content.
* '''Intel Link''' - anonymous intel network.
* '''Starmap Bot''' - bringing Starmap tools to Discord.
* '''Chipware''' - virtual currency.
* '''AutoVC''' - dynamic VC channel creation.
* '''Advertisement Module''' - ad posting reminder.
* '''Alarm Module''' - notifying in Discord when blacklisted individuals are detected in-game near stations.
* '''Substrate Bot''' - alliance-level automatic roles and member statistics.

=== Ship design ===
Collective prioritizes function over form. A few notable examples of ship design:

==== Moonshot ====
Hatman's ship, first to reach a moon in Starbase.

<gallery mode="packed" heights=250px style="text-align:left">

==== Nightblade ====
A fighter so heavily armed that a later patch increased weapon cost.

== Subnets ==
The Collective subroutines can join one or multiple specialized departments, forming nodes in the subnet. These are are lead by the most skilled and dedicated members, called Cores. The following subnets exist:

=== Harmonic ===
[[File:Harmonic glow.png|left|100x100px]]
The branch focused on diplomacy, roleplay and recruitment. Tasks include participation on diplomatic missions, drafting agreements between factions, managing alliances, recruiting new members, improving the Collective community and maintaining the lore.

''“Safeguarding Collective’s interests and creating a prominent reputation in the wider community through far-reaching visibility, enduring presence, amiable negotiators and exemplary conduct.” - Archduke''
 

=== S.W.A.R.M. ===
[[File:Swarm glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Collective's military branch, also known as Tactical, with multitude of duties, including warfighting, patrolling, special operations and police actions. S.W.A.R.M. stands for Space Warfare and Advanced Response Module. If you want to use the biggest guns and crew the largest ships, S.W.A.R.M. is the place for you.

''“Space Warfare & Advanced Reconnaissance Module is to be a dominant force of defensive and offensive action. Using our stratagem, tactics, and technological superiority, we seek to safeguard the Collective and all of its assets, be those the biggest stations to the lowest-ranking units” - Goosedoff''
 

=== R&D ===
[[File:RD glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Research & Development, also known as Design and Development, has everything from YOLOL development, ship design, drone engineering to art or propaganda. R&D designs, Logistics produces. Participate on a multitude of projects and have your mark on the outlook of the entire Collective.

''“The think tank of R&D brainstorms and creates solutions for the problems all other branches of the Collective run into. Engineering a better tomorrow for the Collective, today.” - Hatman''
 

=== Logistical ===
[[File:Logical glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Economy, construction and information management. Logistics makes money for the Collective, completes construction orders, creates the production lines, analyzes data produced by other branches and consults other branches based on statistics.

''“Logistical Branch is to be the lifeblood of the Collective, ensuring for every willing Pilot of S.W.A.R.M, there is a fleet of military vessels to see Central Mind’s Will done, for every R&D Expression there are tools and resources at their disposal. It is through our works that the Collective’s greatness is made manifest, it is through our Order and Discipline that we can offer a timely turnaround of production. Respect the time of your peers, the time spent on the machinery you operate and ensure that you keep your works in order, that is how we will succeed.“ - Battle_wrath''
 

== Lore ==
[[File:Starbase Collective Central Mind v3 21.png|128px|thumb|Collective Central Mind]]
* Subroutine - ''“A sequence of program instructions that performs a specific task, packaged as a unit.”'' The common term for any member of Collective.
* Central Mind - The combined minds of all subroutines (members) make up a form of collective consciousness referred to as '''Central Mind'''. This entity is the "personification" of Collective's will and goals. (Outside role-play, Central Mind is a custom Discord bot for managing the faction discord)
* Integration - The process of becoming one with Central Mind. Not compatible with any unwilling AI.
* Disintegration - The destruction of enemies of Collective. Central Mind is generally neutral towards anyone not clearly hostile.
* "We are one" - Collective's slogan. Summarizes both hivemind theme as well as the focus on coordinated cooperation to achieve great goals.

The Collective is a tech focused [[Player factions|faction]], chasing big achievements and technological milestones instead of galactic conquest. Collective consists of several autonomous branches, internally known as [[#Subnets|Subnets]], each with its own structure, leadership and purpose. Althrough vastly different from one another, the Subnets share the ideologies of Collective and follow meritocratic principles: if you've got the skills and the dedication, you can rise up the ranks. Despite the menacing appearance and role play, the Collective hive mind is largely neutral and concerned only with its own improvement, aiming to stay outside of conflicts in the community.
 
Collective is a founding member of the [[Substrate]] Alliance.

PROSPERITY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

Collective aims to be the state-of-the-art in all technology and design; automating the more mundane tasks, with the ultimate end goal of creating Von Neumann probes. Aesthetics of a technical solution hold minimal value, only functionality, efficiency and innovation matter.

== Technology ==
=== Custom bots ===
Collective is home to several custom discord bots. Those include Central Mind, moderation and management tools, as well as a virtual currency; Collective Chips. CC Can be used to trade services or hoard for status and memes.

=== Ship design ===
Collective prioritizes function over form. A few notable examples of ship design:
* [https://i.imgur.com/GPaLQgw.jpg Moonshot] - Hatman's ship, first to reach a moon in Starbase.
* [https://i.imgur.com/SgacoOn.png Nightblade] - A fighter so heavily armed that a later patch increased weapon cost.
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxUv32Zk8Bo Gladiator] - Heavy fighter built to win the first [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ioygKgvZ2UCG29psNyn6zDTJN9_ESNNKyjMSMu1szBw/edit?usp=sharing Boltcracker tournament].

=== ISAN ===
[[ISAN]] is a navigation system for ships, made with [[YOLOL]]. Collective released [[ISAN]] to the public, so anyone can install it on their ship.

== Subnets ==
The Collective subroutines can join one or multiple specialized departments, forming nodes in the subnet. These are are lead by the most skilled and dedicated members, called Cores. The following subnets exist:

=== Harmonic ===
[[File:Harmonic glow.png|left|100x100px]]
The branch focused on diplomacy, roleplay and recruitment. Tasks include participation on diplomatic missions, drafting agreements between factions, managing alliances, recruiting new members, improving the Collective community and maintaining the lore.

''“Safeguarding Collective’s interests and creating a prominent reputation in the wider community through far-reaching visibility, enduring presence, amiable negotiators and exemplary conduct.” - Archduke''
 

=== S.W.A.R.M. ===
[[File:Swarm glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Collective's military branch, also known as Tactical, with multitude of duties, including warfighting, patrolling, special operations and police actions. S.W.A.R.M. stands for Space Warfare and Advanced Response Module. If you want to use the biggest guns and crew the largest ships, S.W.A.R.M. is the place for you.

''“Space Warfare & Advanced Reconnaissance Module is to be a dominant force of defensive and offensive action. Using our stratagem, tactics, and technological superiority, we seek to safeguard the Collective and all of its assets, be those the biggest stations to the lowest-ranking units” - Goosedoff''
 

=== R&D ===
[[File:RD glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Research & Development, also known as Design and Development, has everything from YOLOL development, ship design, drone engineering to art or propaganda. R&D designs, Logistics produces. Participate on a multitude of projects and have your mark on the outlook of the entire Collective.

''“The think tank of R&D brainstorms and creates solutions for the problems all other branches of the Collective run into. Engineering a better tomorrow for the Collective, today.” - Hatman''
 

=== Logistical ===
[[File:Logical glow.png|left|100x100px]]
Economy, construction and information management. Logistics makes money for the Collective, completes construction orders, creates the production lines, analyzes data produced by other branches and consults other branches based on statistics.

''“Logistical Branch is to be the lifeblood of the Collective, ensuring for every willing Pilot of S.W.A.R.M, there is a fleet of military vessels to see Central Mind’s Will done, for every R&D Expression there are tools and resources at their disposal. It is through our works that the Collective’s greatness is made manifest, it is through our Order and Discipline that we can offer a timely turnaround of production. Respect the time of your peers, the time spent on the machinery you operate and ensure that you keep your works in order, that is how we will succeed.“ - Battle_wrath''
 

== Lore ==
[[File:Starbase Collective Central Mind v3 21.png|128px|thumb|Collective Central Mind]]
* Subroutine - ''“A sequence of program instructions that performs a specific task, packaged as a unit.”'' The common term for any member of Collective.
* Central Mind - The combined minds of all subroutines (members) make up a form of collective consciousness referred to as '''Central Mind'''. This entity is the "personification" of Collective's will and goals. (Outside role-play, Central Mind is a custom Discord bot for managing the faction discord)
* Integration - The process of becoming one with Central Mind. Not compatible with any unwilling AI.
* Disintegration - The destruction of enemies of Collective. Central Mind is generally neutral towards anyone not clearly hostile.
* "We are one" - Collective's slogan. Summarizes both hivemind theme as well as the focus on coordinated cooperation to achieve great goals.

2020-12-25T09:14:46Z

Archduke: TW 15 -> 20 members

Please add your alliance to the list and include a link to either your Starbase Wiki page or Discord server. The estimates here should be taken with a grain of salt as member count and the participation of factions cannot be confirmed until the release of Starbase. The following statistics are based on Discord member count (excluding diplomats).

See [[Player factions|player factions]] for all of the community factions in Starbase.

= Player Alliances =
For the sake reducing clutter, please only add an alliance here if it fulfills these requirements:
* It' an "official" diplomatic agreement between distinct groups, excluding subsidiaries or departments of the same group.
* There's two or more groups involved, groups being companies / factions / clans.
* Each group counted has at least 10 active users.

Member counts are estimates rounded down.
