I have come to a quick realization that there is no real way for new members to know what they are doing, so here is a good helper thread. There is information scattered about this guild that is absolutely pertinent to your understanding and enjoyment of this massive role play.
First off.
You are a Mercenary. Which I am sure you know from reading the opening pages and the name.
This means that you fight along side your comrades for a profit, and it is usually of no small reward either.

Second.
It doesn't matter what type of experience outside of here you have.. amidst these ranks... you are a
Private and a
Raw Recruit. A rookies rank until you prove yourself worthy of higher ranks.
Both of these actually mean something too. The first is your military rank, and will show how ready you are for responsibility, showing your ability to lead. The latter is to show how skilled you are as a pilot and how much action you have seen. Both of these will modify how much money you make at the end of a battle.
The Military ranks are worth more than just 'cool' as well... REAL responsibilities come with the ranks as you go up, so do not take the ranking of officer lightly! It is not just to say I am cool, it is so much more!

Third.
Money! The guild as a massive role play has a credits system of exchange for buying parts for you mech or other things as well. Here is the Credit system in a simple outline, made by Ermor, our Guild captain.
Credit SystemTransfersThis is the thread used to take care of Transfer of threads from your account to shops or from your gaia account to your MMA account.
These transactions will be completed by a moderator and recorded in the
Universal Bank-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fourth.
Mechs.
They are what draw people to this guild for the most part. It is our love for machines and gigantic things that make other gigantic things go boom.
A balancing has gone into the works for the massive cross overs that occur in this guild, but allow me to just say take it easy.
Prime Intellect has taken the liberty of making this thread for your convenience. Use it.

LASTLY
You!
It is your job at this time to go and take a visit to the
Profiles thread and make yourself a character, if you have not done it already.
After that, I would suggest you go and create a
Private Hanger bay where you Mech will be stored.
I would suggest limiting yourself to one mech for starters. Afterall you only REALLY need One. Others can be acquired.
