  • The Questions

    What is the Mantell Syndicate?

    What is this shadowy organization that has eluded capture and discovery for for over 200 years, all the while operating right under the noses of the Republic and Imperial forces? Intrigued yet? Read on to find out more about this successful criminal cartel.

    So, you've got some questions, do you?

    Normally the Syndicate and its associates don't like people who go poking their nose into business that isn't theirs - but in this case, we'll make an exception. Find out more about some of our most commonly asked questions. Click here.

  • The Classes

    Smuggler : Yes

    The smuggler is the core of the Mantell Syndicate. Versatile and driven, the smuggler knows how to change the plan on-the-fly and while it may not elegant or orthodox  - the smuggler gets the job done.

    Jedi : No

    In an organization built on secrets and deception, Jedi and their 'mind tricks' are viewed with suspicion at best and are only worked with as a necessary evil. Force-users are not welcome in the ranks of the Mantell Syndicate.

    Trooper : Yes

    Every criminal organization worth its spice needs 'the heavy'. Most troopers in the Syndicate are ex-military who have deserted or were discharged. We also have a handful of 'Mandalorians' who fall into this class.

    Imperials : No

    While the 'Bounty Hunter' or even the 'Imperial Agent' would make excellent additions to the Mantell Syndicate, game mechanics will not allow it. While many of our members may play Imperial alts, there will be none in the guild.

  • The Rules

    IC Rules

    The Mantell Syndicate, being an organization that makes its living and reputation on 'breaking rules', has very few rules of its own. Referred to as "the code of three" by its operatives, it's a straightforward list emphasizing loyalty, responsibility, and profit. However, while the rules may be simple, the consequences for breaking them are often... not.

    OOC Rules

    Every guild has a list of written and/or unwritten rules by which the group operates. We've found that the 'written' ones are much more useful and so we've assembled them all in one location for your convenience. Have a look.

  • The Process

    Application Process

    The Mantell Syndicate seeks to provide quality role playing environments and tools for quality role players. As such, we do have a rather involved application process to help us know who's really interested in becoming one of our operatives and who's just 'window shopping'. If what you've learned of us intrigues you and you are interested in learning more of our application process, then read on.

    Selecting a Trial Run

    Technically, you don't 'apply' to work for the Mantell Syndicate - they recruit you. And what savvy recruiter is going to offer a potential operative a lucrative contract without a 'Trial Run' first? Have a look at some of the possibilities your trial might take and figure out which best suits your own particular 'skills'. Read more.

  • The Missions

    Current Missions

    Want a taste of the kind of adventure that awaits you as an operative of the Mantell Syndicate? Have a look at our current missions running in our 'Syndicate Operations' thread. There are over a hundred missions to choose from (and growing). Take your pick.

    Trial Runs

    Want to have a look at how all our operatives got thier start in the Mantell Syndicate and perhaps get some ideas for your own Trial Run mission? Then narrow your missions focus and sight in on our "Trial Run" forum.

  • Jeos Dinas : Currently looking into organizing a CTE sponsored swoop race, using a similar, successful idea from the Progenitor server. If you have ideas, let me know.
  • Faythe : bleh Isoba, hope the computer stuff works out, at least there are things to celebrate in the interim.

  • Isoba : Maybe I'll have some good news by Tuesday (my birthday). We will see.
  • Isoba : *sigh* Apparently the manufacturer skimped on the thermal coolant and the processor is toast. The technician had to call in that he couldn't fix it(and the warranty center is closed). So, either they will send out new parts and try it again, send me a replacement computer, or send me a refund for the cost of my computer and let me purchase a brand new computer. Either way, I am off - line for a little while longer *sigh* I may log on via my wife's computer, when she doesn't need it.
  • Skorlen : *cheer*
  • Faythe : Got my fingers crossed Isoba
  • Isoba : Hey all! A technician should be here in a couple hours to replace my motherboard and hard drive - and re - install Windows 7. Once that is done, I will be re - installing everything and be back up and running. I hope to see you all online very soon!

  • Jeos Dinas : If you're interested in PvP, class balance, or numbers at all, here's an interview with James Olhen. Some of it is illuminating, Ohlen's general attitude is...not. Still a worthwhile read.
  • Baraslan : Ubbit - This is a GREAT find! I wish someone would do this now for weapons since you can't ever see what those look like in your preview window in game. This site should get a post in the forums!
