# Create and Customize an Organization

Created by: Bren

Want to lead a group of friends as a...

- Squad of elite soldiers?
- Merchant traders seeking every mining spot out there?
- Information task force for an elite corp?
- PIRATES?! Everything is better with pirates.

Organizations give you the freedom not only to play your way, but with others!

## What kind of Organization can you build?

ANYTHING! Your organization can be based on just about anything you can think of in Star Citizen. If you need some ideas, consider the Archetypes and Activities available.

Get some ideas!

- Loremaker's Guide to the Galaxy
- Star Citizen
- Squadron 42

Pick an Archetype!

Organization - Want to make your own way without any previous association? Feel free to keep with the default nondescript type!

Corporation – a for-profit business entity. A corporation is a great choice for everything from shipping flo-pets to Goss II to organizing a hostile takeover of Origin Jumpworks.

PMC (Private Military Company) – For organizations with a taste for combat. Focuses for PMCs include escorting cargo runs, hunting for pirates or helping the UEE take on the Vanduul.

Faith – Organizations that have come together for a single cause or under a single banner. This could be rebels fighting for Terran independence or the devout followers of the LAMP!

Syndicate – Common interest groups for those who operate on the edges (or outside) of the law. There’s safety in numbers when you’re moving contraband through Spider or preying on hapless cargo ships.

Club - A group of individuals whose primary interests and activities revolve around a specific brand or make of vehicle.

And pick 2 Activities!

- Exploration
- Trading
- Piracy
- Smuggling
- Defense
- Resources
- Transport
- Scouting
- Infiltration
- Engineering
- Freelancing
- Bounty Hunting

## Create Your Organization

When you create an organization, you fill in some basic information then customize later. You can only create an Organization if you are not a member of any group.

1. Visit the Organizations page.
2. Click Create.
3. Enter a unique Name. This can be more than one word for the name. For example, EVOCATI - NDA for our Evocati Test Flight group.
4. Enter a Spectrum ID. This ID displays as the canonical name of the organization web link. For example, AVOCADO for our Evocati Test Flight group: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/orgs/AVOCADO

   Important! The Spectrum ID selected here CANNOT be changed after it is chosen. RSI Support staff cannot assist with changing it. Make sure it is what you want and follows the code of conduct. Orgs with inappropriate Spectrum IDs will be deleted entirely.

5. Select an Archetype for the organization, which classifies what kind of organization this is.
6. Select your Commitment: Casual, Regular, Hardcore.
7. Select the Primary Language of players. This is for text and voice chats.

9. Set the Primary and Secondary Activities your organization. Players will use these to find an organization they want to join. Click the drop-down and select what matches best!
10. Write a quick tagline or Introduction for your organization. This is the first information the players will see, up to 300 words. You can update and expand this information anytime.
11. Set if membership to the organization is displayed (Visible) or hidden (Redacted).
12. Click Create organization.

## Add Content to Describe the Organization

We support the following types of content. You can use the Content tab to enter and format using the editor controls including headings, bold, italics, bullets (numbered and unordered), and more.
