The guild Serenity Warriors on the Astro Empires Beta server was created on February 8 , 2007. Originally named The Browncoats, it was started by a couple of [xGSx] players, Malcolm Reynolds and Hands of Blue (originally named Derrial Book), and follows a role-playing theme based on the Joss Whedon western/sci-fi series Serenity. Among the first players to join the guild were Jayne Cobb, Simon Tam, Wash Washburn (rip), Inara (rip), and Chucker.
The guild started out small but slowly grew, due in part to both a semi-strict recruiting standard as well as tougher defensive standards than most guilds on the server at the time. The guild is a loose collection of 'independents' who are free to play the game how they like under a loose management style. As Independents, the Serenity Warriors have no permanent binding pacts.
From the guild's internal profile:
What We're About:
¤ ¤ We are a group of individuals with our own minds and our own ideas. We are all free to use our minds, express our ideas, and act in accordance with what we believe is right. We are here to support our brothers and sisters, not to depend on them.
There are times when we will act independently as sovereign individuals. We take responsibility for our own actions and we admit our mistakes and agree to deal with the consequences. There are also times when we will act as a team, and during those times, the word of the Captain--while not beyond questioning and debate--should be respected.
We will coordinate our defenses and trade routes as well as forge strategic alliances with other guilds in order to meet our goals and most importantly--have a good time!! ¤ ¤
In the last 6 months, the guild has undergone some large changes. First of all, they underwent a merger with members of the former Crimson Guard, a group of players that had been allies since the creation of the guild. Roughly four months afterward, and most recently, was the merger with the Shadow Warriors, a group of die hard allies and like minded players that was a natural fit for both guilds. With the merger came the name change from Serenity to Serenity Warriors, to honor both guilds. The guild tag was also changed from [¤FF¤] to [¤S¤] for the same reason.
The guild is still led by Malcolm Reynolds, and is currently governed as well by the 'guild council' which conduct discussions and diplomacy on all major issues, usually before bringing them to the attention of the rest of the guild. The current council has a rotating member structure, and is currently composed of:
Malcolm Reynolds, Captain
One tenet the Serenity Warriors hold dear is that every member is equal. All opinions are welcome and there is nothing wrong with disagreeing on a course of action. Once decided, however, they put all their weight behind it. As a result of this they have never been defeated in any war, though a handful have come to a white peace.
