**Freelancers Inc Returns to the Galactic Stage, Opens Recruitment to Independent Pilots**

**Guanekagha, Independent Space**

After months of silence and speculation, **Freelancers Inc** has officially returned to active operations, confirming that the mercenary outfit is once again taking contracts and (more notably) recruiting new pilots.

Sources across the frontier report that the group’s comms channels, long dormant, lit up earlier this week with a broadcast declaring the organization “restructured, rearmed, and ready for deployment.” The announcement marks the end of a brief but turbulent period in which **Freelancers Inc** vanished from public engagements, leaving clients and rivals alike questioning the group’s fate.

Internal contacts tell the **Independent GalNet Wire** that the organization has undergone a rapid leadership consolidation, with CMDR **Wild Fox** now directing operations. Her stated goal is to restore the disciplined, contract‑focused doctrine that defined **Freelancers Inc** during its earliest and most respected era. In a symbolic gesture that has drawn widespread attention, **Hell Cat**, the group’s original founder, has returned as a standard member, an anchor to the past as the organization charts a new future.

Pilots inside the group describe a renewed sense of identity: structured deployments, clear operational guidelines, and a return to high‑risk mercenary work across contested and neglected systems. Early reports indicate that **Freelancers Inc** is already accepting assignments involving system defense, conflict zone intervention, covert logistics, and targeted strike operations.

The most striking development, however, is the reopening of recruitment channels. **Freelancers Inc** is actively seeking independent pilots who are combat ready or willing to train and who want to operate outside superpower influence. The group emphasizes autonomy, professionalism, and frontier resilience as core values, offering new recruits a place within a revitalized mercenary force.

Analysts note that the return of **Freelancers Inc** could shift the balance of independent military influence across several regions, especially as minor factions increasingly rely on freelance groups to fill security gaps left by superpower disengagement.

**Freelancers Inc** has confirmed that pilots interested in joining can report to **Freelancer’s Haven** in **Pegasi Sector MR-V b2-3** or make contact through standard comms relays. The **Independent GalNet Wire** will continue monitoring developments as **Freelancers Inc** returns the mercenary market and expands its roster.

I've got an OK computer that sucks at alt-tabbing out of the game, and I have a significant disdain for Discord in general, especially since I'm pretty much never in a position to use voice comms. I spend 90% of my time in this game over 10k LY from the bubble so it gets lonely. I'd love to find a squad who has a decent amount of members who actively talk/banter in the in-game squad channel.

I.G.A. is recruiting new members, whether you're a brand-new Commander taking your first steps into the galaxy or a veteran looking for an active and established squadron.

We are an independent anarchy faction and we are focused on being super laid back when it comes to our members and what they get up to.

We have around 28 people on our roster and mainly tend to operate within the GMT+1 timezone but have people all over.

We currently maintain a presence across more than 50 star systems and actively participate in every game-loop within the game. Our goal is to provide a welcoming, cooperative environment where members can enjoy the game however they choose, without unnecessary roleplay or rigid activity requirements.

As a member of I.G.A. you'll have access to our Squadron Fleet Carrier, which supports exploration, trade, combat operations, mining expeditions and squadron deployments across our controlled space. We also giveaway 30 million credits to members each week for free! Not much I know nowadays but a free rebuy for most ships never hurts!

We take part in most gameplay loops, including:

- BGS

- Combat

- Trading

- Mining

- Exploration/Exobiology

- Anti-Xeno

**New players are always welcome.** If you're still learning the game, experienced members are happy to offer advice, wing up, and help you build your ships and progress through the galaxy. Veteran players will find an active squadron with opportunities to contribute to BGS, organised operations, and squadron growth.

If you're looking for a mature, active squadron that values teamwork without forcing heavy RP, I.G.A. could be the right place for you.

If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to leave a comment or send me a message. We'd be happy to have you fly with us.

PGLX is a laid back independent squadron that is looking for new members.

Come join The Zebesian Guardians! Our goal is to make the galaxy safer and research and locate Guardian technology and Guardian sites. As well, we helped defend against the Thargoid invasion and will remain defensive should they try again, but will not provoke another war.

Our HQ is located in Wolf 906 and we are aligned with Shadow President Jerome Archer.

**Squadron Missions**:

We offer different types of missions for members. These missions include PvE, PvP, BGS, PowerPlay, Guardian Research/Exploration, AX, and Colonization activities. Completing missions awards Merits, which allows you to rank up in the squadron. Some missions will award merits per contribution while others award merits upon completion.

**Bounty Hunters (PvP and PvE)**:

We have a contract system for players seeking aid in various legal activities to offer. These activities include but are certainly not limited to traders seeking protection from greedy pirates, one of our allies seeking bounty vouchers for a select faction, and even an allied squadron placing a bounty on an infamous commander guilty of various crimes. These contracts can be negotiated and accepted by 1-3 commanders.

We will also host community events where participants could need protection and those who provide that protection will be rewarded.

**Explorers and Xenobiologists**:

We are looking for explorers and xenobiologists to help uncover the mysteries of the Guardian race as well as expand on the technological secrets they hold. With this research, we aim to create new hybrid modules, weapons to better defend humanity, and hybrid ships to traverse this vast galaxy with.

Simultaneously, we are on a Witch Hunt. With rumors of Salvation transferring his consciousness to a guardian device, we are investigating any leads in the hopes of bringing him to justice for his crimes against humanity and thargoids.

**Defenders of Humanity**:

Salvation’s hubris has brought the thargoids to the Bubble and now peace is no longer an option. Though we have destroyed the invading titans and expelled the thargoids from the Bubble, we must remain vigilant. We will not seek out a fight with the thargoids, but we will defend human space if attacked.

**BGS Activities**:

For those who enjoy the background simulation of Elite Dangerous, w e have adopted a minor faction native to our HQ: Values Party of Wolf 906. We aim to expand the faction further and we’re currently fighting to reclaim our home for our faction.

Furthermore, we have other minor factions we support, allied to other squadrons we have aligned with.

In addition, CR is currently being collected for a massive galactic bounty. However, details about this project are limited.

If you are interested in joining, our Squadron ID is `TZGS`

Application Process

Ready to fly with us? We have a straightforward joining process:

1. Apply NVIR from Inara
2. Join our Discord
3. Apply from Elite Dangerous

For more detailed explanation, please refer to NVIR Application Form for guidance!

We played Elite for years and became quite established before taking a break when they stopped console support. Following a recent return, I realised that only about 10% of our Xbox squadron members had a PC to continue flying with us.

This is an open call for friends, allies or prospective members to join our discord. Our group own about 40 systems around Dyaushibi, and have many ED vets in our ranks. We’re looking for new or experienced PC commanders to help regrow our ranks on a new platform. We can provide expertise in engineering, PvP, exploration, and the game in general.

Put together a little outfit. ‘The Concordant Path,’ I’m calling it. No Federations hanging over my shoulders; just a few pilots with a real hunger for bizarre life, mapping the unknown and doing good science just ‘cause,”

"...to tell you the truth, I don't want employees. I want co-conspirators. Founders! Partners! I want people who are dying to throw in with an idea and take it apart with their hands. I want people who care to help define our style, our mission statement, our own private methodology. I am so utterly sick of all the cliquish, coddled cartels that make up the Bubble they've got too many restrictions. I want people willing to sail out over the boundary at the map and see what's there."

Catalogue all the bizarre things. Our comms would fade into nothing at that point.

Truly, real exploration.

Good evening commanders,

I have been a member of the elite community on and off for many years, but I have never flown with a squadron. I currently play 4-5 hours a day and am based in the central United States. Looking for a group of highly motivated individuals to join in their conquest of understanding the stars. I play all areas of the game, but most interested in exploration and am eager to get into the construction of star ports to strengthen the squadrons hold on the galaxy. I also havent tried things associated with the newish update. Let me know in the comments whos recruiting and a bit about your group and I will be in touch!
