With the galaxy in a state of unrest due to the peace between the Republic and the Empire fading away fast, the Emperor gave the orders to his trusted warrior Darth Thysus to create an elite squad of soldiers for the Empire to face off against the Republic scum and inner personal matters within the Empire that go unseen by the public eye. Darth Thysus traversed all across the galaxy searching for recruits with potential to form this Elite Army, his travels took him to every world, for recruits of every kind Sith and Guns for Hire alike. After he had gained a small amount of recruits and close allies to join in his mission the official Elite Imperial Guard was created. However, the search for recruits is non stop, the Empire can always use more soldiers to destroy the Republic.

We have a very unique ranking system within the guild, for Sith, Imperial Agents, and Bounty Hunters. All new admissions to the guild begin as Initiates. A Sith Initiate awaits a Master, and once this Master has elected to take this Initiate under his/her wing, the Initiate becomes his/her apprentice and will have a lot of RP interaction with their master along with everyone else in the guild. When that Apprentice reaches around level 30 and gains the "Lord" title in game, they become eligible for Lordship. Please note, however, that while the in game ranking of Lord is a requirement for consideration for Lordship in the Guild, it is no guarantee of it. The decision to promote an Apprentice to Lord is made by their Master in conjunction with Guild leadership and is based on substantive contributions made to the Guild RP environment, both in terms of a personal RP relationship with their Master, and in terms of participation in Guild RP events. Upon promotion, a new Lord is then required to find an apprentice of their own, either from the pool of waiting Initiates, or from outside of the guild. Please allow up to a week for us to find out which Master is best suited for your style of RP.

For their part, Imperial Agents, though also recruited as Initiates, have their own line of promotion. Reporting to Grand Moff Talosivor, Operatives and Snipers who distinguish themselves can earn recognition as Imperial Officers. Bounty Hunters, Sellswords and other persons operating outside of the bounds of the Imperial Military or the Sith Hierarchy meanwhile, will start out as a Gun For Hire, but you will Accept missions from our Hit men and Grand Moff Talosivor, or Darth Thysus' council of Lords. When your work for the guild has been noteworthy, the Grand Moff will give you a new rank in the guild in regards to your progress. When you hit the rank of Hit man you are welcome to lead other Guns for Hire in missions of your or the Grand Moff's choice.

Events http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b362/Signneo/redsaber2_zps8fecd073.jpg

The guild tries its best to have guild events every Friday night at 10 pm Server time but if not enough players are on then it will happen on Saturday night at the same time regardless of members on (unless like no one is on...). Those who miss the events can come to this page as the event will be written out here to keep members posted on the story so far, please allow up to three days for the event to be written out as I am only human, thank you.

The guild has an Main and Alt rule for players with more then one character in the guild, we would prefer you choose one as your Main character to be involved most of the time in the Events for storyline. Alts are given the Rank of Associate and are considered "non canon" towards the Guild Storyline Events for the most part. Those who wish to have more then one Main are allowed to do so under the restriction that both characters remain active, the Main that falls more inactive will be turned into Associate. We will not be so kind to keep removing them from associate so if your that dedicated to having two mains you will figure a way out to keep them both active as much as possible. We enforce this rule to avoid troubles with them being in Guild Storyline Events. If a member becomes inactive for too long without notice and is part of the Guild Storyline Events in a big way, they will be assumed dead as to not hold the rest of the guild back.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b362/Signneo/redsaber_zps237f3ecf.jpg Rules

1. Be courteous to your guild mates, IC and OOC are separate, any IC drama shall not become OOC drama.

2. Be kind to RPers of all kinds, just because someone is not "as skilled as you" does not make them and less of a person. Take the time to teach when you can, a helpful hand to a new RPer will lead to a better RP exp for everyone.

3. Do not create drama with other RP guilds/RPers/Trolls, just ignore them if they start anything, we are a mature guild and expect our members to also be mature in these situations.

Becoming a Member http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b362/Signneo/redsaber2_zps8fecd073.jpg

The Elite Imperial Guard allows all classes and species of the Empire to join the cause, we also allow all levels and players of any RP experience to join. We will do what we can to help players new to RP learn what they need to know to make it in the RP universe.

If you are looking to join send an in game mail or whisper Thysus, Talosivor, or Lilith and an RP event will be done to get you invited to the guild. We use this event as a way of calculating your skill in RP so we get a better feel for you. And it doesn't hurt to weed out trolls.

We also encourage prospective members to visit our website at eig.enjin.com, learn about us, and submit an application.
