The Collective is a tech focused faction, chasing big achievements and technological milestones instead of galactic conquest. Collective consists of several autonomous branches, internally known as 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.

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.

Nightblade

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

Nightblade Cockpit

Gladiator

Heavy fighter that won first, second, and third in the Boltcracker tournament.

Gladiator was used in the Boltcrackers Fleet PVP Tournament

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