Same crew.
Choose your fight
Command fleets with Argosy, our Space Navy, in NEBULOUS: Fleet Command and Homeworld. Deploy with Espatier Corps, our Space Marines / Starship Troopers, in Helldivers 2, Dune: Awakening, and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Fly combat ships and fighters with Aether Force, our Space Air Force, in Elite Dangerous.
Pick the game that gets you keen, then meet the crew in Discord. Members can play across branches; each game has its own sessions, mechanics, and preparation.

Records

Worlds
Worlds is the gateway to High Guard’s fictional Worldbuilding Codex: a place to explore settings, societies, technology, history, and stories.
Three combat branches
Argosy — Space Navy
Argosy is High Guard’s Space Navy. Take command of the battle fleet, bring the heavy guns to bear, and fight for control of the battlespace.
Espatier Corps — Space Marines
The Espatier Corps is High Guard’s Space Marines. Drop onto hostile ground, bring the firepower, and fight through the objective with your squad. This is our home for Space Marine and Starship Troopers-style combat.
Aether Force — Space Air Force
Aether Force is High Guard’s Space Air Force. Take the cockpit in Elite Dangerous, bring your combat ship or fighter into the engagement, and fight as part of a coordinated wing.
Ready to join?
Tell us your game, platform, timezone, and experience. Start with a role you want to learn or bring one you already enjoy. The joining guide gets you from introduction to your first session.
Choose a first task
Tell the organiser your experience and what you have available. A starting role should fit the actual game and session.
Read the brief
Confirm date, time, timezone, platform, version, required content, and any permitted mods. Read the starting guide. Check who leads, how to report a contact, what the objective is, and when the team will regroup or change plan.
Play, learn, return
Follow the agreed calls, ask when a direction is unclear, and give teammates room to learn. Afterwards, share one thing that worked and one thing to practise. Useful observations can become a report, build adjustment, or tactics trial.
Brief, fight, debrief
Our milsim approach puts the useful parts into the game: clear roles, coordinated fire, useful calls, and a plan the team understands. Build guides, tactics, practice, and battle reports help the next attempt.
