iNITIATIVE WING

Ut Reveles, Est Vivere

Initiative Wing is the “tip of the spear” for all discovery, scouting, intel and science within Vanguard. 

Initiative Wing has a long proud history within Vanguard. From the early discoveries of the original Pathfinders to the steady Scouts- leading the way into and out of darkness to the notorious exploits of the Cavalry, pulling off what no one else could.

Today’s Initiative feeds the same needs as those squadrons of yesteryear but uses the more flexible structure of the Vanguard’s grand First Fleet. It will contribute specialists in fields like scouting, stealth, intel as well as future areas such as planetary/stellar/cyber sciences to each First Fleet vessel that they serve on. 

We hope to attract personnel that want to specialize in gathering knowledge in unknown environments and potentially dangerous situations. This could be finding and navigating a new Jump Point or searching a discovered cave; scouting ahead in a ship, vehicle or on foot into territory occupied by potential hostiles. There are common threads of courage, self-reliance and a penchant for getting the information Vanguard needs in all of our Initiative operatives.

Our Wing: How Initiative leads the way

Initiative Academy

Initiative Wing Academy is where we teach our own culture and build upon the universal base of Recruit Orientation. Initiative Academy is designed to lift every Talon to become a functional “Initiative Generalist”, and when ready, they will choose a First Fleet assignment and receive additional specialized training.

Some of the training will focus on the ability to succeed in: 

Reconnaissance 

Surveillance

Intelligence roles 

CyberOps & Hacking

Remaining undetected as a pilot or on foot

Survival

Advanced navigation 

Observation & Reporting techniques

Fleet

Once the member completes the Wing Academy they will choose First Fleet assignment(s) from a diverse pool of Units that perform a variety of multi-wing operations. In addition to First Fleet commitments, another path leads toward an Officer role in Initiative. All prospective Initiative officers participate in the Wing Academy as a Certifier to move up to demonstrate the skills to move into leadership.

  • Discovery and their mission specific fleet roster prepare for the challenging future ahead in Pyro, we want to share this grand adventure with all the wings. To conduct High Risk exploration, to assess and survey subjects in extreme situations, always remembering the primary objective is the safe return of their crews, and the data/or intelligence obtained.

    The Discovery duty roster is laid out to accommodate what we know, AND what we don't know. If you're interested in the "Exploration Side" of Vanguard, take a moment to find a primary role aboard the starship. A secondary and third role will further increase a dynamic crew's success and ability to adapt to any given mission.

  • A racing and precision flying group that welcomes participants from casual to serious. All are welcome in this group, from those who like planning courses, race logistics, ground racers to low flying daredevils.

    The home of Vanguard racing, we are here to satisfy the need for speed while providing company and good vibes. From time to time we may train and support teams under the Vanguard banner for large events like the Daymar Rally and our own sponsored events.

What is next?

Future opportunities for Initiative are always on the horizon. How, Why, What, When, and Where are all valid questions to our discoverers. Not much is known about how the science in Star Citizen will evolve. When the time is right, we will expand to meet the future head on in areas yet to be developed:

Flora and Fauna

Chemical & physical compositions

Scientific laws

Biologists, Zoologists, Geologists, Physicists, Chemists, Xeno

Space anomalies

Black holes

Dark matter

Quantum and jump travel.

Asteroids and their vast field

Moving data

Securing and saving data

Taking the data from our enemy

Computers and blades

Scanning and radar mechanics

Hacking
