Armed Forces of the Galactic Republic
HIGH COMMAND BULLETIN
Our Republic remains a force at war, fighting adversaries who threaten our foothold on civilization and our way of life. The most significant aspect of our current strategic reality is that the struggle with fascist forces in which we are now engaged will be a protracted one in which we will find ourselves often in conflict with unknown and never before encountered adversaries.
The Armed Forces of the Galactic Republic's primary mission is to provide necessary forces and capabilities to the combatant commanders in support of the Universal Security and Defense Strategies. We have thousands of soldiers deployed or forward stationed today to support combat operations throughout the galaxy to deter aggression while securing the gains we've already established. We are fighting today while simultaneously preparing for tomorrow.
To continue to accomplish our mission, we are aggressively restructuring the AFGR. We are transforming from a force designed for contingency operations in the pre-invasion era to a force designed for continuous operations in a new era that presents challenges to civilization ranging from traditional to potentially catastrophic.
The AFGR is dependent upon the resources procured up until now from the Senate for the People of the Galaxy, coupled with emergency supplemental appropriations, to support current operations. These resources will also enable the force to recover from the stress placed on equipment and Soldiers during combat and continually "reset" itself for future deployments. Moreover, these resources are required to continue to transform the AFGR into a larger, more powerful force built on self-sufficient legion-based modules. This force will be more flexible, more rapidly deployable, and better able to sustain the protracted military campaigns and conduct the joint expeditionary operations required by the current security environment.
We are sustaining our universal commitments while making tremendous progress in our transformation. We will need the continued support of the People and Senate to accomplish our mission today and tomorrow while providing for the well-being of our Soldiers, their families, and our civilian workforce who are serving the AFGR in this time of war.
-AFGR Marshal Maximillian Labienus
»ABOUT
The 47th R.E.F. is a military themed, North American based player association which is based on the Trooper class. The 47th engages in a wide variety of in-game activities to include PvE, PvP, crafting/trading, and server events.
The 47th prides itself on professionalism and esprit de corps which are our core principles. We hold our members to a high standard and prohibit such underhanded tactics like using /unstuck to escape from a battle.
Teamwork and collective effort are mantras the 47th lives by. We grind battle points in a group, move in a group, and we all do what we can to contribute to the unit. Our legionaries provide materials for the crafters, who in turn provide gear back to the legionaries. If you like to go and do things your own way, then the 47th is probably not for you.

»CHARACTER CLASS POLICY

»HISTORY
The 47th was originally established in 2007 as an offshoot of a Star Wars Galaxies guild from the Chilastra server.
By the time of the NGE a lot of interest in SWG had been permanently lost. A deployment or two later I became highly interested in Tabula Rasa and chose to start my own player organization for the game with a few SWG guildmates which came to be known as the 47th A.F.S. Expeditionary Force, or 47th A.F.S.E.F..
Around the time of TR's closure Earthrise caught the 47th's interest. We waited for Earthrise for over three years and were finally able to step foot on Enterran soil at game launch.
Unfortunately Earthrise was plagued with launch issues, lacked basic and rudimentary features, had an extremely unoptimized client which ran very poorly, had a small community, and incredibly slow patch releases. In June of 2011 we decided to quit Earthrise.
»CURRENT ACTIVITIES
The 47th currently has legionaries deployed in World of Tanks and Global Agenda.
»RP LITE
The 47th's style of roleplay is what we've coined "RP Lite." What this means is that we subscribe to a more moderate form of roleplay. More specifically, we ask our legionaries to be "in character" in spatial/local chat but will not require anyone to be "in character" in any team, unit, or other such affiliated chat channels. We also do not require any legionaries to be "in character" on our forums aside from the designated roleplay forum. "In character" chat is strictly forbidden on voice comms. The bottom line is that we want to present a degree of professionalism in public spaces and limited roleplaying allows us to do just that.

Comments
Darnit! I was this (<-->) close to joining:
Prior military: check
Age requirement: check
PvP oriented: check
RP oriented: check
Time zone requirement: system error....critical...
"Small minds talk about people, average minds talk about events, great minds talk about ideas."
There are no timezone requirements. It's just that PST is what the bulk of our current members base their playtimes around.
Sorry if that wasn't clear, was just referencing our expected hours of activity. I live in Minnesota myself so I'm CST.
OP has been updated, check us out!
Just a bump. The 47th is still very active and anxiously awaiting TOR's release. If you plan to roll a Trooper as a main and like to PvP look no further!
