Welcome to the recruitment thread for the Aethonian Royal Knights, known among ourselves as the Order, and shortened to ARK. We can be found on ElwynEternity, and currently we are just starting up and seeking members. We are a faction that has broken off from the Void Templar, and we plan to maintain some of the same ideas.

I don't have a logo finished yet, but the faction colors are: Primary white, secondary yellow, tertiary blue.
Mission Statement:
ARK is a diplomatic, military, and exploration force, dedicated to the ideal of honor and chivalry. Our ultimate goal is to maintain peaceful relations and help settle disputes as negotiators. We believe in use of force in situations where it is clear that no other option is reasonable, but we will not get involved in wars between other factions unless there seems to be a very clear reason to fight one side or the other. Our members will seek to help others who come under unprecedented assault by pirates or other rogues, but will not intercede on behalf of any member of an unallied faction who is attacked by a member of a non-enemy faction, as this is seen as the business of those factions. We also seek to explore the reaches of space and establish a network of warp gates.
Services we plan to offer to others
Diplomacy:
Any faction that wishes may request diplomatic assistance from ARK. This means that a member of the faction will be assigned to investigate the situation in question and work toward an agreement that both sides of the dispute are willing to accept. Members of ARK are expected to remain neutral in any dispute they are assigned to assist with.
Any allied faction has the right to request an assigned ambassador from within our ranks. The ambassador will be assigned by the council when possible, and that ambassador will act as a strictly neutral party in any disputes that faction may become involved in. If they have problems with their ambassador, they can instead request for the council to assign them a new one. All factions should keep in mind that the ambassador is not there for their gain, but to help maintain peace.
Military:
We will assist anybody who is not an enemy in dealing with pirates and other rogues. We will only assist in a faction war if one of the involved sides is the enemy of our faction already. We will lend only non-combatant aid to our allies if they are fighting a faction we are neutral to, as it is our goal to maintain peaceful relations as much as possible, in order to better perform our other duties. If a faction is deemed a 'galactic threat' by the council (a faction that is randomly declaring war on weaker factions) we will step in and lend assistance.
Exploration:
Establishing a gate network is high on our priority list, and we plan to make many of these gates available for public use. Only gates that lead into our areas of space will be private use, for security purposes.
Any faction that wishes to be connected to the ARK warp network may submit an application to the council, the benefit being quick response times where aid is requested in return for extending the area of space we can access quickly. These gates will not be public to prevent abuse of this service. (Valid after the universe update, your faction may be asked to provide assistance in building the gates)
Ranks:
-Page
The duties of a page are to learn the basics of the game, prove their worth and loyalty to the Order, and assist their superiors when asked to do so.
-Squire
The duties of a squire are to assist their superiors in their projects, learn more about how the faction operates and how to carry out it's ideals, and to figure out what types of tasks they are best at and enjoy doing. Any member with this rank or above may apply for ambassadorial services.
-Knight
A knight is a tested and true member of the Order, permitted to submit formal requests to the council to begin their own projects using faction resources, which would normally involve building a new base, ship model, or a pair of warp gates, etc. They are also entitled to the honor of owning and operating their own capital ship and taking command of the fleet when no member of higher rank is available.
-Royal Knight
A royal knight is an honored member of the Order, permitted to start projects without consent from the council, and allowed to create a personal emblem to display on their properties. Royal knights are permitted not only their own capital ship, but their own personal space station to be located somewhere within ARK territory. They are the commanding body of the ARK fleet, and their decisions will only be overruled if questioned by their peers and taken to the council.
-Councillor
A councillor is a member of the voting body of the Order, who otherwise has the same rank and status as a royal knight. They are royal knights themselves, with the added duty that they vote on matters brought to the council. Things like war declaration, peace treaties, knight projects, conflicting ideas within the royal knights, assigning ambassadorial duties, and matters of promotion and punishment all fall to the council's decision. There will only ever be 5 members on the council at a time.
The oath of the Aethonian Royal Knights
1. Always seek a peaceful solution first.
2. Render aid when asked, but only against pirates, rogues, and enemy factions.
3. Always remain neutral when settling a dispute.
4. Treat all others with respect and dignity. Even your enemy deserves your courtesy.
5. Never fire on somebody who has given no cause.
6. Do not brag or taunt excessively.
7. Keep the secrets of ARK safe.
8. Remember it's just a game! Have fun with it.
