All Recruit Members are required to show their determination in the Guild's ideals and qualities through their activities in its ranks. Also, they are obliged to use the [R] tag in the end of their call-signs.
Within one month of time, they should accomplish 3 assignments and report them in the Guild Comms. Good presentation of the evidence in that report is also extremely important. If they fail to do so - and there are no good reasons for the delay - they will have to quit the IMG| ranks.
Recruits can choose from all the assignments mentioned below and can come up with other creative assignments that show that they are capable of being a full member of the Independent Miners Guild. The Guild does not feel like restricting the creativity of its young future members unnecessarily.
======
i) The IMG Trade Division is significantly smaller than the other departments of IMG. That is primarily because Gateway, ALG and OSI transport the absolute majority of the needed commodities to our in-House bases or in bases located in the Border Worlds. Therefore, the IMG Trade Division is primarily occupied in supplying our bases in the Edge Worlds, a task which is extremely difficult and dangerous. All recruits of this department should accomplish the following assignments in order to prove that they deserve to be part of this small division.
Participate in a large IMG| trade convoy.
Make a delivery of H-Fuel to Arranmore Base. Report it here, as well. Don't be followed by anyone who should not know about our relatioship with the Mollys. Notice that there are several House embargoes and restrictions on H-Fuel, therefore we'd also like to see the route which you will use in order to obtain the fuel.
ii) The IMG Paramilitary ensures the independence of IMG by protecting it from it's enemies. The last decade, the Research & Development department of IMG created numerous superior military vessels which significantly enhanced the efficiency and capabilities of the IMG Paramilitary. Both Outcasts and Corsairs have very skilled pilots in their ranks, therefore all recruits of the IMG Paramilitary should fulfill the following assignments and prove that they are skilled enough to be part of it.
Participate in a major engagement against Outcasts in the Taus or against Corsairs in Southern Bretonia or in the Omegas.
Offer protection service to an IMG| mining operation.
Offer escort service to an IMG| transport convoy.
iii) The IMG Mining Department is the backbone of the Guild. It is the reason of our existence. The majority of the Guild Members are either directly or indirectly involved with the mining activities. Fulfill the following assignments in order to advance to Guild Member.
Participate in an IMG| mining operation.
Mine ore, find a private contractor and sell your ore. Keep evidence of all of the phases of this assignment.
iv) The IMG Exploration & Research Division is an extremely important asset for IMG. There, new technologies ranging from terraforming to ship designing are being researched, while at the same time, operations in uncharted systems are being made which can be future candidates for further expansion.
