The Vindicators are recruiting.

Who are we?
We fought for the Vanu Sovereignty on the US East - Emerald server, although we had members from all around the world.

In late 2002 I founded The Vindicators outfit in preparation for the original Planetside and started recruiting people from the official forums as all I saw was an abundance of specialised outfits dedicated to being pure cloakers or snipers (or both); something I saw as being near useless with the grand battles PS promised. We quickly gained members as the months leading up to beta ticked away, ending up with about 120. When beta finally started we recruited a lot of people, finding amongst them great leaders who have stuck with us and led chapters for the community in other games.

When Planetside was in its prime we often had a full platoon working together with separate armour, air and infantry squads coordinating some pretty impressive feats. In particular I remember a 5 hour defence of Tore, Cyssor, and a time when we turned the tide of a battle that had been raging for three whole days around a single base. We were a member of the Vanu Round Table Alliance, which organised large raids for over a year until various outfits left the game. We also participated in the outfit wars, winning the majority of our matches.

Over the years we have had successful MMO chapters in World of Warcraft, Voyage Century Online, Darkfall, Age of Conan and Guild Wars. However Planetside has always been the game that we started in and Planetside 2 will see us return in style.

Why would you want to join?
The Vindicators have always been proud of the friendly, almost family like atmosphere that we have between our members. We developed this from the nature of our first game Planetside and the interdependence that it fostered between our members as we sent Mag columns and Gal drops into enemy territory.

My intention is to make us a deciding force on the battlefield once again and to do this we need both quality and quantity of troops. Quantity is simply a matter of recruitment, while quality is something we expect of and will also train in our members.

To help with quality I have put together a tactics website to help guide our members to play together as effectively as possible. Our platoon aims to be the most coordinated in the game, using voice communications to organise combined arms assaults on the enemy using the detailed tactics and strategies described on the site.

What do we expect?
Our outfit was always open to all players who were interested in working as a coordinated team and we will continue this in Planetside 2, expecting all our members to use Teamspeak to aid coordination. We do expect our players to act maturely, with a (mental) age of at least 16. Although we play on the North American servers we have a large number of players from elsewhere including a large number (myself included) from Europe.
