Something unusual happened in 2026: all three of the major space games put group play at the centre of their updates in the same season. Elite Dangerous shipped Operations, a mission system designed for wings. Star Citizen brought back XenoThreat, an event that rewards organised crews above everything else. EVE Online released Cradle of War, an expansion built around collective conflict.
All of that content shares one assumption: you have people to play it with. If you don't, that's the problem we exist to solve.
What The Exiles offer
One community across three games. We're an established Elite Dangerous squadron (find us on Inara), an active Star Citizen org (UTLAGARNIR on RSI), and a growing EVE Online corp. When you switch games, your community comes with you.
Regular, organised play. BGS campaigns, wing missions and Operations in Elite. Event nights and multi-crew sessions in Star Citizen. Fleet activity in EVE. We also maintain the Exiles Codex, our own knowledge base covering everything from combat and trading to getting started in each game.
A community of adults. Most of our members have jobs, families, or both. Nobody is required to log minimum hours, nobody yells at new players, and experienced members will genuinely fly with you and show you how things work. That's the point of the whole thing.
"Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. Don't fly it alone."
With apologies to Douglas Adams
Joining takes two minutes
Join our Discord, say hello, and tell us which game you fly. There are no applications and no interviews. See you in the black.
