History

History of the Jack Rats (Founded 2949)

The Jack Rats were born in 2949 during one of the roughest trade seasons the Stanton system had seen in decades. With corporate blockades tightening and piracy surging, a small group of freelance haulers, salvagers, and outlaws came together on the edges of Yela’s asteroid belt. United by necessity rather than ideology, they shared one thing in common—they were tired of being told how to live, how to fly, and who they could become. These pilots, engineers, gunners, and traders started flying together under no banner but their own, calling themselves the “Jack Rats”—a play on being Jacks of all Trades, and the rats scurrying through the cracks of the system. What started as a loose crew of survivalists evolved into a thriving organization known across the ‘Verse for its grit, versatility, and unpredictable code of honor. From mercenary work and cargo runs to exploration, data smuggling, and the occasional “unofficial reclamation” of lost property, the Jack Rats have made a name for themselves as professionals of the unconventional. They don’t seek war—but if one comes, they don’t fly from it. Over time, the Rats have carved out a legacy built on freedom, trust, and the stories they leave behind in every port, every wreck, and every whispered legend of the stars.

Manifesto

Manifesto of the Jack Rats

We are the ones who write our own fate in the void. We are the Jack Rats—scavengers, warriors, traders, and storytellers. We don’t kneel to corporate greed, UEE propaganda, or pirate kings. We work with who we trust, take what we earn, and fly how we want. Our strength is in our diversity—every skill, every background, every Rat has a place among us. We don’t demand perfection, only loyalty. You pull your weight, you earn your keep. You betray the crew, you’re gone. The ‘Verse is chaos, and we don’t pretend otherwise. But through it, we find our purpose—taking jobs, making credits, and building legends that echo across the systems. Whether we’re saving lives, stealing data, or hauling ore, we do it the Jack Rat way: fast, clever, and never silent. Some call us criminals. Others call us heroes. We just call ourselves free.

Charter

Charter of the Jack Rats (2949)

Freedom First

No Jack Rat answers to anyone outside the crew. All members are free to take jobs, fly how they wish, and express who they are—so long as it does not compromise the safety or unity of the group.

Loyalty Always

A Jack Rat does not leave another behind without cause. We operate as a crew, and in battle or business, we back our own.

Skill Over Rank

There are no kings or dictators here. Leadership is earned through action, respect, and the ability to get the job done. Everyone gets a voice.

Profit With Purpose

We work to survive, thrive, and build a name. From mining and trading to bounty contracts or outlaw ops, we choose our path—but never betray our own for credits.

Stories Matter

Every mission is a chance to make a memory. We value stories, legends, and the sharing of knowledge and experience to inspire future awesomnauts.

No Ghosts, No Rats

You don’t vanish on the crew without word. If you need out, say it. If you harm the crew, we’ll find you. Silence is not an option among us.

Fly Loud or Fly Home

We don’t hide who we are. We are the Jack Rats. We are the noise between the stars.

Jack Rats

An unpredictable crew of rugged outlaws, bold traders, fearless explorers, and everything in between. We’re the quintessential Jack of all Trades in the Star Citizen universe, taking on whatever the ‘Verse throws our way and making our own rules as we go.

Whether we’re running high-risk trade routes through pirate-infested sectors, salvaging the forgotten bones of derelict ships, pulling off a slick data heist, or defending our territory with overwhelming firepower, the Jack Rats always find a way to come out on top. One day we’re hauling minerals and making legal credits like model citizens, the next we’re ambushing a convoy and disappearing into the black before the UEE can even blink.

But we’re more than just chaos with a quantum drive. At our core, we’re storytellers—carving legends into the stars with each adventure, every firefight, every last-credit bet at GrimHEX. Around the campfires of deep space, we share tales of glory, luck, betrayal, and brotherhood. Our exploits aren’t just missions—they’re sagas passed down to the next generation of awesomnauts, so they know what it means to truly live free in the ‘Verse.

No matter your skillset—combat pilot, medic, miner, smuggler, trader, scout, or ship mechanic—there’s a place for you among the Rats. We believe in doing things our way: smart, scrappy, and with a grin. Some call us pirates. Others call us heroes. We just call ourselves family.

So grab your gear, bring your grit, and join the pack. The stars are waiting—and the Jack Rats never travel quiet.
