Welcome to the home of the New Descendants on the web.

This web page is intended to provide useful information for current and prospective members of ND. If there's any information missing that you'd like to see, please let me know. And if you're not already a member, but think that you'd fit in to our dysfunctional little family, then again, let me know.

New Descendants is one of the longest established Player Associations (also known as Guilds, or Clans) on the Europe-Farstar server of the Star Wars Galaxies massively-multiplayer online roleplaying game. We're actually a part of a much older and larger parent guild, The Descendants, which plays together across many different MMO games - e.g. World of Warcraft, Everquest II, City of Heroes.

The New Descendants is based on the basic principles of fun and mutual support. We aim to provide an atmosphere where we group together to have more fun, and where every member of the guild contributes whatever they can to help everyone else out, and in return receives whatever support and help that they themselves need. For example, our guild doctors provide free buffs to their guildmates, in the knowledge that if they need any help gathering resources etc. to make those buffs, then they'll get that help from the rest of the guild. Because of this supportive attitude, we're a particularly good home for new players.

We don't have any restrictions on physical age, sex, race or nationality, so long as members have emotional maturity, helpfulness and mutual respect for each other. We currently have a mix of mostly British and North American players, and a smaller number of other Europeans.

The guild is based in the city of Talryyn, on Corellia (rough coordinates 2420 2450, near Doaba Guerfel). All guild members are members of the city, but not all citizens are guild members.

The city has around 70 citizens, which means it's currently a little short of 'metropolis' status. We have all the available city facilities, i.e.

• City hall
• Shuttleport
• Cantina
• Hospital
• Cloning centre
• Shopping mall (in the guildhall)
• Bank
• Vehicle garage
• Research centre specialisation

Our mayor is Deekev. Guild members are encouraged to contribute spare cash to the city treasury, and to vote for Deekev on every election cycle (so that he gets quicker politician XP).

Nearest facilities not in the city:

Rebel recruiter	Various rebel bases around the city.	300m
Starport	Doaba Guerfel	3000m

The parent Descendants guild has a website, including forums, here.

Fanjita runs an email alerts system that can notify you automatically, twice a day, of any changes to information relevant to you on swgcraft.com. Send an in-game email if you want to be added to the system.

There are 2 in-game chat channels. The 'TY' channel is used for general chat amongst all Talryyn citizens, and should be used in preference for most chat. The guildchat channel is available only to full guild members, and should be limited to guild-specific conversations.

• (Click here for instructions for accessing the TY channel)

• • right-click a tab on your chat window
  • select 'join chat channel'
  • in the main pane of the window that opens, click the box next to 'Europe-Farstar'
  • now click the box by 'chat - public chat for this galaxy... yada yada'
  • scroll down till you find 'TY' in the list
  • click 'Done'
  You can use /ty to send a message to the TY channel, just as you might use /group or /guildchat (or /say).
  
  You can also make life a bit easier for yourself by modifying your guildchat window to add TY to it. To do this:
  • Right-click your guildchat tab
  • Select 'modify tab'
  • select 'TY' in the available chat channels pane
  • click the 'right-arrow'
  • click OK
  You can also drag the guildchat or TY channel windows off the main chat window, to make 2 chat windows. This makes it much easier to follow chat in those windows, while still keeping on top of spatial or whatever.

We welcome any friendly and mature players as new citizens of Talryyn. Recruitment into the guild is by invitation only. Typically, new or prospective citizens who seem to fit in well will be invited for trial membership into the guild.

Trial membership lasts for a week or two, during which the new member is expected to socialise as much as possible with the guild. At the end of the trial period, if a favourable impression has been made on rest of the guild, the recruit will be upgraded to full membership.

The trial membership period may be waived for people recommended directly by existing guild members.

The New Descendants have close associations with DMA, RRC and T-S guilds, as well as being part of the larger Alliance of rebel guilds on FarStar.

Exploiters	Fair play is important to this guild. Definitive proof of any guild member exploiting bugs in the game will result in immediate dismissal from the guild. This includes jedi FRS "fight clubs", which although defined as legal by SOE, are clearly immoral.
Galactic Civil War	The New Descendants are committed to an honourable approach to the Galactic Civil War. This means that we will always approach bases as Special Forces, to allow defenders a chance to defend, and we will always show appropriate respect for our opponents.
