Operations

We regularly host a variety of events where we combat the Xeno-threat. These are referred to as Operations and are an integral part of the Xeno Strike Force. Operations are frequently hosted during the weekend to allow greater compatibility with the schedules of our members, and there are opportunities to join during the week too! Operations are our primary means to drive content.

The two distinct types of Operations

Official Operations – Uniform shall be worn. Typically an Event with an associated Operation Order posted in #op-log by our GuardianAI Bot. Operational Experience Credit can be earned.
Unofficial Operations – Uniform Not Required. Typically just an Event without further notice in its description.

If you have any questions please ask our senior Officers – Captains and above

How to participate in Operations

Any and all of our members are welcome to participate in these operations, regardless of skill. The way we structure our wings makes it so nobody is left to fend for themselves. Being in Uniform is being part of the Team!
