Overview

The Anti Xeno Initiative in-game squadron, known for its 4-letter code “AXIN”, is generally considered a distinct subset of our community. The distinction “AXI” (referring to our broader community of 27,000 members, focusing mainly on our Discord) and “AXIN” (referring to our small subgroup of ~500-600 squadron members) is a meaningful one to understand.

It is not necessary to join our in-game squadron to be part of our broader community. Doing so is entirely optional and at the discretion of any individual CMDR.

The AXIN in-game squadron is an award-winning group often ranking among the top squadrons in Anti-Xeno and Combat leaderboards.

Minor Faction

How to support the AXIN in-game

General Background Simulation (BGS) and System Colonisation (SysCol) efforts can be supported by anyone.
You can find standing orders here.
Focused BGS & SysCol operations within our in-game Squadron are made by and coordinated with our dedicated Operators and Loyalists.

The Anti Xeno Initiative PMF

The Anti Xeno Initiative is our primary minor faction and the main focus of our BGS efforts.
It is the Faction our in-game Squadron is aligned with.

The AXI Player Minor Faction was established when Player Groups were allowed to represent themselves in-game by applying for the creation of a PMF. Though the program was closed with Update 15 in 3309 (2023), active PMFs remain to this day as part of the Background Simulation.

Today the AXI PMF is a powerful Faction in the regions the Anti-Xeno Initiative has a keen interest in. We remain neutral towards non-hostile factions and are working with a select number of friendlies and neigbours to upkeep cordial relations. AXI’s goal is to defend all of Humanity from the xeno-threat.

The Xeno Research Group Minor Faction

The Xeno Research Group is our second minor faction. The AXIN adopted it in the past.
It is currently stuck within Witch Head and has been so for a long time. It is not our main priority.

Galactic markets awakened to a jolt today, as the Anti-Xeno Initiative bought controlling interest in a Witch Head startup company: Xeno Research Group, to the surprise of many galactic pundits.

“The Anti-Xeno Initiative crashed the Low Temperature Diamond Market throughout the Bubble last week”, replied a Bank of Zaonce media representative.

β€œAt the time, our experts were perplexed by the sudden appreciation of AXI’s stock value. All factors pointed towards it being a response to Brewer’s press-release about Drake class Carriers being made available for public sale.”

Thargoid sympathizer groups, such as HALT, condemned the move claiming more Thargoid lives would be lost.

“This only shows AXI for what it is. A group of genocidal maniacs, bent on the utter destruction of the Thargoids. They went out of their way to purchase a Witch Head company, just to justify more killing.”, a Thargoid sympathizer spoke at a protest on Mars; one of many such protests to erupt since the news broke.

When asked about the sudden purchase of Xeno Research Group, AXI’s CMDR Mackenheimer only had this to say: “Xeno Research Group was purchased as part of AXI’s Unified Defense Program. The last Thargoid Incursion into the Witch Head Sector showed the region’s defenses to be woefully inadequate. While the Pleiades Sector systems were cleared within a single week, the Witch Head systems suffered Thargoid attacks for over three. This cannot be allowed to happen again.”

When pressed regarding the Thargoid sympathizers’ concerns however, he responded sharply; “I don’t care what traitors think of our legitimate purchase. All of our activities are undertaken with the express aim of defending all of humanity from the Thargoid menace. One day they’ll come for your system, and we’ll be coming for them. You can count on that.”
