Ministry of Security Services 

Greeting Citizens!

It's been an awesome quarter for group combat, once again spearheaded by our Director of Fleet Operations Maxwell Stiles.

Back in last quarter's newsletter we laid out a road map for content that would be coming up from the MSS, and for the most part that content was delivered. 

We saw a lot of activity both in Stanton and Pyro, from curated events to ad hoc groups running contested zones. 

In all of these instances the groups were respectful, well led, and effective. It's safe to say that we had some fun too, which in the end is the ultimate objective. Winning is fun, right? 

This next quarter is going to see a new system come online, and with it will be new security challenges. 

In our last newsletter we talked about integrating combat across several different branches. Though we're still in the early stages of this initiative we have seen some positive results.

With Nyx coming online in the next month it will be more important than ever to create an environment in which all of our ministries can work together towards common goals. 

There will be new logistical security challenges, such as cargo and player trading that will be further iterated upon in game with the introduction of Levski 2.0. 

Working to provide escorts for traders and haulers who are moving particularly sensitive goods while integrating useful intelligence to inform our planning will be a focus for integration with MIC and MES

With the new combined arms activities on the horizon we are still looking for someone to fill the position of Director for the Department of Marine Corps. 

In general, interested applicants should have had citizenship status for at least a year, though exceptional service may find a way around this particular limitation. We are interested in talented individuals with ambition and the willingness to learn, the rest can be worked with.

There are currently many suitable candidates for this position within our organization. If you think you might be interested then please contact Twilly Frost so we can discuss your ideas for the role that can be presented to the Cabinet for approval. 

This role is a content creation role, and you will be expected to create and participate in FPS content. The frequency and scale of such content can vary. Integration with Fleet Planning and other Ministries will also be intergal to the running of this department.

Knowledge and aptitude for group FPS combat and a working knowledge of FPS combat in Star Citizen is a requirement, but talented individuals can many times grow into a role if the desire is there. If this sounds like you, I encourage you to apply.

This has been a fantastic quarter for group combat within our organization, and it's a direct result of the citizens within our organization that show up and show out for these events. You have been terrific and we appreciate all of you. 

Same goes for our leadership, the directors that have been pushing content and helping guide other players through it. It's heartening to see and we look forward to providing a space where that kind of thing can continue well into the future.

The MSS will continue building upon the progress we've made this quarter to make the verse the kind of place we all want to live and play in.

See you in the verse!

Director Maxwell Stiles

Hello everyone!

While the game hasn’t had much content for large groups lately, we have still come together to have fun! From carrier operations, to combined arms operations. 

And each time we get together we complete our objectives with great success. I am grateful to have so many amazing people to play a game with that we’re all so passionate for.

Most recently we invaded an onyx facility with a 20 person strong group and annihilated the Yormandi electric noodle and its companion, that was so much fun. 

We also recently deployed a squadron of mostly fully crewed Paladins. Those things are a beast!

I am looking forward to the content that has been promised to us at citizencon direct, where we will need to coordinate large combined arms forces to get objectives done in what they called “Tactical Strike Groups”. 

We have a lot to look forward to in 2026 with the upcoming NYX system and all that it has to offer. I see a lot of space combat events in our future!

Let’s continue being awesome!

"Citizens, 

Since our last newsletter, we in MIE and ONI tried to satisfy your urge of exploration and spec-ops related content and attempted to refine the planning process by adding a piece of light but engaging RP & stories to all our recent events.

The constantly great participation and interest from you all is truly appreciated and we want to thank everyone for their patience in case the server gods and Carrack glitches occasionally haunt our get-togethers.

Over the last months, we are gladly looking back on a couple of fun event memories with you all - for example from:

Operation Whisper Point, where we “escorted” an ASD scientist out of Farro IV data center,,

Operation Thunderbird, where we successfully killed the Apex Valakkar and were in turn killed by SC cheaters,,

Operation Ghostlight, where we explored the dangers and fascinating immersion of the Onyx Facilities,,

Operation Skyward Path, where we put a small carrack fleet to the test and enjoyed the longest distance travelled in a USC event till date (13.33 AU – from PT to Pyro IV and back!),

We are particularly excited to see many new great citizens, in MIE and other ministries, stepping up to create their own MIE-themed events and content – special shout out to RidgeSix and Bar aka Barrus here, but also to newcomers like EtowTheSaltyCat who bring a breath of fresh air into our USC and SC lore!

Looking ahead, we cannot express how thrilled we are by the thought of venturing out with all of you into Nyx so very soon!

We are sure it will be an astonishing quarter for all of us explorers and operatives, and you can count on us to throw more Carrack-glitches at you, if you dare to join us 

Fly safe

Zan (Interim)

Hello to all you traders, haulers and collectors of aUEC out there,

Supported by the Ministry of Interstellar Commerce, you've probably been knocking out more hauling contracts than ever before. The revisited Argo Raft and Regen Crisis events have given us a lot of opportunities to get behind the stick and move tonnes of goods. But besides that the player market for top tier ship components and rare resources has been booming. 

This has me looking forward to how we can carve out a piece of that market as the USC and become a reliable supplier of some of these goods. Until Org tools come into the game, our amazing members like Ehriqhck are using their tech magic skills to support us with tools like E.I.M.S. or our internal trading hub. And we can't forget about our external trade partners over at UEXCORP, who are opening up true Interstellar Commerce.

Keep on trucking and earning,

Dr. Daesang Zaen, Interim minister of MIC

Director (Role Open)

Consider applying for this role today! 

Role Description:

• Oversee and ensure the generation of Trade Convoy and Commodity Trading Missions.

• Operate ship and outpost trading markets

• Coordinate with MES for resale of inventory and/or raw resources on the open market.

Greetings from our favourite support crew in MES,

While the Ministry has had a brief revival with the appearance of the RSI Apollo ship line, the impact from the Regen Crisis seems barely noticeable for medical personnel. Medgel shortages have inflated the market and the cost of revivals has gone through the roof but we still haven't seen any significant increase in medical beacons or rescue requests. This does leave Siren and her team enough room to support all of our troops in the field on the various operations and expeditions that the USC has been launching lately.

As for Engineering and crafting, it seems to be a waiting game but the recent leaks have reopened the Hopium valves and the future looks quite promising with Engineering T0 being actively developed, hopefully we'll see some of it appear in the PU in 2026. I for one can't wait to be putting out fires, replacing fuses, fixing components and running around like a headless chicken trying to keep your capital ships up and running in the heat of battle.

Unfortunately our Director of Engineering, Shaka, has to step down due to real life priorities. So I want to use these few last lines to wish him the best and thank him for his great ideas. hopefully he'll be able to return to us at some point to continue working on his vision for an integrated Rapid Response unit.

See you out in the asteroid fields,

Dr. Daesang Zaen, minister of MES

RSI Apollo Medivac & Apollo Triage Enter Service 

After much anticipation, Roberts Space Industries has officially rolled out the RSI Apollo Medivac and RSI Apollo Triage to the civilian and organizational fleets across the ‘verse. These long-awaited medical ships, renowned for their versatility, efficiency, and field-ready design, have now made their way into USC’s expanding medical division.

While the Apollo-class vessels have formally entered service, our USC fleet has only just begun receiving the first units from the latest production run. Each ship is undergoing extensive inspection and outfitting to ensure compliance with both USC standards and RSI’s advanced medical protocols. From hull integrity checks to medbay calibration, our engineering and medical teams are leaving nothing to chance.

However, full operational readiness will require additional funding and logistical support. These new vessels are state-of-the-art but demand substantial resources to stock, maintain, and crew effectively. Efforts are currently underway to secure the appropriate funding and MedGel supplies needed to ensure each Apollo is fully mission-ready, from triage stabilization kits to emergency evac supplies with both Tier 1 and Tier 2 facilities available.

Until then, the Apollo Medivac and Apollo Triage stand as symbols of USC’s unwavering commitment to life-saving response across the stars. Their arrival marks the next step in our ongoing mission: to bring hope and healing to even the most remote frontiers.

While the above ships represent a significant enhancement to USC’s field of medical capability, it is important to note that current assets are not yet fully mission-ready, so it is with my firmest belief that we need to ensure our members have the necessary trauma impact readiness and necessary pharmaceuticals on hand for all ongoing missions. Personnel are advised to familiarize themselves with each medication’s properties and proper application.

Hey Y’all!!

What a blast Quarter 3 has been! Right off the top: A HUGE "Thank You" to all of you, the membership, for making this quarter a stand out for the USC! Some of the highlights of just a few of the awesome events, contributions and shenanigans during this quarter: 

Confederation Conference: 

While the USC has been around for well over 10 years, we just had our 1st annual conference in game! It was great to see our leadership team all in one place, and made available to meet, greet and answer questions from membership. The feedback from the event's survey was very positive and encouraging and we're already looking forward to next year's Con Con. 

As you may recall, we’ve spent a lot of time over the past years, strategizing and testing our Org’s organizational ideas. With the launching of our annual conference, your leadership team is now ready to operationalize and explain the strategic framework that will support the USC’s collective goals. Basically, Con Con was our official kick off. 

If you haven’t yet, please check out the announcements thread on the USC Discord for the Con Con agenda notes and video, especially if you weren’t able to attend in the game. 

Group Gameplay Creation: 

As mentioned in the newsletter section above, the strategy of allowing members to create group gameplay content is gaining traction. 2955 has seen the most membership generated content creation we’ve seen to date. 

USC Lore and Roleplay: 

While the USC doesn’t impose role play, tying in the USC’s backstory with the storyline that CIG is developing is a great opportunity some of our members are leveraging for the eventual enjoyment of all members. 

Etow the Salty Cat has published a tabloid paper titled: “The Citizen Compass”. He, and a couple of members have expressed interest in helping to update the USCs backstory.

 We’re super excited to see this develop over the coming years as we get closer to the launch of 1.0. 

Mentoring: 

If you’re new to the game, or returning, feel free to check out the Mentoring channel on the USC Discord. Just giving a bit of advice, or taking a player under your wing is most appreciated! 

On Boarding: 

We could use some help with On Boarding. While not as simple as mentoring, any help you could afford is appreciated. 

Special thanks to Dekan for signing up to help. But we certainly need more help plz! 

Ministries:

Activity in the various ministries have increased substantially. We have many vacant leadership roles, including the Minister of Interstellar Commerce. We have to get these filled so our members' group gameplay activities are properly supported. Reach out to Landscaper today to discuss your interest, I’m happy to help. 

Every contribution, regardless of size, is helping the USC to be the place where we all can enjoy Star Citizen together as a group. We are now seeing good momentum and are so excited to support all that you contribute to your organization. 

“Let’s Fly.” 

Keep an eye on our Discord server for announcements, upcoming events, and ways you can contribute to the USC!
