[$L!P] The Slipspace Spectres - Who are we?
As of recently, the guild of which I am a member, [$L!P] Slipspace Spectres, has become much more visible in the public eye. We'd like to take this opportunity to clarify who we are and what it is we do.
The Slipspace Spectres, founded and led by Ultionis, are fundamentally an anti-piracy guild. Our goal is to protect pilots from wanton violence. We are not here to instigate, but to protect. We believe that no pilot should have to fear space travel, especially not within their own nation space. For pilots to know that wherever they are, whatever nation flag they fly under, they will always have allies.
Our primary goal in any situation is always de-escalation. If you are stopped by a Spectre, this means one of two things:
1. We are gathering information for an ongoing anti-piracy operation. Your cooperation is entirely voluntary. While you are not obligated to provide any information to us, it is always in the interest of security, both for yourself and your fellow pilots. Additionally, by providing information to help us accomplish our objectives, we may offer you financial compensation. We also acknowledge that you may simply not want to be involved. If this is the case, please state this plainly, and we will respect your wishes.
2. You have been identified as having been involved in a potentially volatile situation. This does not necessarily mean that you are at fault. It simply means that you were identified as a pilot relevant to our current operation, either through a second-hand report or as witnessed directly by a Spectre. As previously mentioned, our goal is de-escalation, not escalation. The most ideal outcome for everyone is to resolve the situation quickly and peacefully. To this end, we encourage all involved parties to communicate and cooperate with us until the situation is resolved.
Importantly, unlike other guilds previously, we do not claim to be the absolute authority. We do not seek to control, dominate, or “own” the galaxy. The only true authority in VO are the developers and their appointed Guides, for whom we admire and respect for their efforts.
Regardless of the situation, we ask that you remain respectful, and we will treat you in kind. If, however, you demonstrate clear intent to harm us or other law-abiding pilots, we will use any and all tools at our disposal to protect ourselves and others, up to and including lethal force.
No pilot, whether new or experienced, should have to fly in fear that they will be the target of unprovoked attacks, extortion, coercion, or griefing. Above all else, our mission is to deter and prevent this hostile activity from occurring. If you are a victim of or witness to any such acts, report it to channel 911, or reach out to anyone with a [$L!P] tag directly. Call us, and we will always answer.
This mission is why I joined the Spectres. I personally may not be the best fighter pilot, but if it comes to it, I will fight for the cause I believe in. Otherwise, I'm friendly. If you see me in-game, feel free to say hi :)
I imagine the other Spectres will have something to add as well.

The anti-pirate pirate guild with a weird religion and nefarious ulterior motives...report $L!P locations to The Dreadwake immediately for trash collection...
Nice ragebait, Hawk. I'd like to not have another flame war on here if that's okay with you.
