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.

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

=== Harmonic ===
[[File:harmonic_v2.png|left|100x100px]]

=== R&D ===
[[File:rnd_v2.png|left|100x100px]]
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_v2.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 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 ===
