In his May 2006 State of the Goonion speech, proto-CEO Remedial announced the creation of squadrons, in which every member of the corp. would be arbitrarily divided into a number of squadrons. Despite his complete fucking over of the swarm and subsequent falling-out, we have retained the squads as an entertaining (if not exactly useful) system of division.

[edit] How to join a Squadron

Squadrons used to be assigned, but now you choose which one you join yourself. Review the squad pages below to find a squad that seems like it matches your playtime and style. The greek lettered squads are largely filled with US primetime players, while Euro and Anzac are our European and Australian/New Zealand playtime squads respectively. To join a Squad, click on "Groups" from the GSOAR or click here.

[edit] Purpose

[edit] They're more like guidelines really

• Do you have a newbie question? Ask in your squadron channel for a fast response.
• Do you want to form a mining horde? Ask in your squadron channel first to see if anybody else is interested in making some bank.
• Do you want to go blow some enemy players up in your frigate? Ask in your squadron channel first to see if anybody else wants to fag around with you.

[edit] What it should do

• Increase camaraderie within the corp.
• Increase organization within the corp.
• Friendly competition and events.
• Eventual deployment of specific squadrons on corp-related missions.

[edit] What it shouldn't do

• Squadrons are NOT meant to limit your fun with your friends.
• Squadrons are NOT meant to make you go on mining ops.

[edit] Squad Channel

On the left-hand side of your screen are a series of buttons. One of those buttons is labeled "Channels" and will bring up a list of chat channels, and also allow you to type in the name of a channel to join. (Right-click the button and select 'join.')

• Your squad channel is "_____SWARM" where _____ is the name of your assigned squad (sigmaswarm, piswarm, gammaswarm, etc...).
