“Per Aspera, Ad Astra – Through Hardship, to the Stars”*

History Manifesto Charter

History

It all started a couple of years ago, when a small group of passionate gamers first set foot in the vast, uncharted universe of Star Citizen. With only a handful of ships and a shared dream of exploring the stars, we banded together with a simple goal: to build a community where players could come together, collaborate, and enjoy the endless possibilities that Star Citizen offered.

At first, it was just a few of us, casually exploring planets, taking on low-level contracts, and figuring out the intricacies of the game’s expansive mechanics. But as we spent more time navigating the dangerous void of space—whether embarking on mining expeditions, engaging in dogfights, or transporting goods—we realized something powerful was unfolding. Our small group started to grow. New members from all over the world began joining us, each bringing their own expertise, stories, and skills to the table.

As our ranks swelled, so did our ambitions. What began as a casual crew quickly turned into a thriving, diverse community. We expanded our activities to include large-scale multi-crew missions, deep-space exploration, and even bounty hunting operations. Our members began to specialize, with some honing their piloting skills while others focused on trading and logistics. The freedom of the game allowed each of us to pursue our own paths, but we did so with the understanding that teamwork and camaraderie would be at the heart of everything we did.

Over time, we began organizing regular in-game events, from coordinated space battles to massive exploration expeditions across the galaxy. Language was never a barrier—our multilingual members, fluent in English, Spanish, and German, helped create a truly global community where everyone could communicate and contribute.

Today, our community stands as a testament to what can be accomplished when like-minded individuals come together to build something bigger than themselves. We’ve seen countless adventures, forged unbreakable bonds, and, most importantly, created a space where anyone—whether a hardcore combatant or a casual explorer—can find a place to belong.

As Star Citizen continues to grow and evolve, so do we. Our journey is far from over, and we’re excited to see where the stars will take us next. Come join the adventure, and be part of our story!

Manifesto

Forged in Fire. United in Flight. Bound for the Stars.

We are Espada—a force born not from chaos, but from clarity of purpose. What began as a small squad of explorers, traders, and warriors has become a proud, battle-tested brotherhood and sisterhood—united across continents, cultures, and time zones by one unwavering mission: to carve our legacy among the stars.

In the boundless universe of Star Citizen, we are more than a name.
We are a standard. A symbol. A shield.

We believe in strength through unity, not uniformity. Each member is free to chart their own course—be it mining riches from the void, mastering the art of space combat, or navigating the delicate currents of diplomacy and trade. But no matter the path, we fly under the same banner. When the call comes, we answer—not for glory, but for one another.

Espada is built on three pillars:

Honor in Action – Every mission, every decision, every fight—we do it with integrity. We fight fair, we fight smart, and we fight for the right reasons.

Precision in Purpose – Whether planning a fleet operation or hauling cargo across sectors, we bring discipline, preparation, and pride to everything we do.

Community Above All – We are a multilingual, multinational family. English, Spanish, German—our languages may differ, but our loyalty is shared. No one is left behind. Ever.

Our symbol, the sword-pierced bull, represents our ethos: relentless power tempered by discipline. The bull charges forward; the sword reminds us of the responsibility that comes with strength.

We do not chase chaos.
We forge order in the stars.
We are explorers. We are warriors. We are Espada.

Join us. Fly with purpose. Fight with honor. Leave a legacy.
