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

Structure

The Collective matrix is divided into groups of specialized members forming "Submatrices". Each Submatrix is lead by the most skilled and dedicated members called Cores.

Harmonic

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.

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

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

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

Subroutine

“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 helping with managing the faction)

Integration

Integration is the process of becoming one with Central Mind. Not compatible with any rogue AI which has not willingly realized the benefits of integration.

We are one

Collective's slogan. On the surface summarizes the hive mind theme, internally it means a focus on coordinated cooperation and working together to achieve great goals.

Integration

You can become one of us by following the instructions given at our Discord server. Remember, integration is completely safe and without significant pain.
