More than just
a gaming community
Kurultay is a self-governing community. An independent Turkish fleet with its own constitution, senate, elections, and a path everyone can rise along. Here is how it works.
We took our name from that ancient council where decisions came not from a single voice, but from everyone gathered around the fire. Kurultay. Our fire is the stars now — and we still chart the course together.
We were founded in 2956 by the fire a single pilot lit. The goal was simple: instead of scattering alone, to fly by the decision of a council we are part of — and to build that council before everyone arrived.
Today we are a crew that runs trade between star systems, patrols the borders, and trains new pilots. We are a non-profit, independent Turkish community.
Here there is no rank, but a hierarchy of trust. A pilot's worth is measured not by how wide they spread their wings, but by what they do for the crew.
Not a guild with an owner — a democracy
Most organizations are run by one person. Kurultay is run by a constitution. Authority is never concentrated in a single pair of hands; it is distributed by rules, granted by vote, and taken back when needed.
One person, one vote
From crew member to senator, everyone's vote carries equal weight at the ballot. Rank and office grant command authority — never voting weight.
The constitution is law
A written constitution comes before the code; the entire system enforces it. The rules are transparent and change only through constitutional process.
The Founder protects, does not rule
The Founder builds and protects the system, but does not rule it. There is no one-click admin; roles, elections, votes — everything runs on the community's vote and automatic rules.
Secret but verifiable voting
No one — not even the Founder — can see who cast which vote. The vote is secret; the result is opened for audit only if half of those who voted in that election ask for it.
The governance engine
In one sentence: command executes, the Senate decides. The two axes are separate from each other — and so that power cannot pile up, no one may hold more than one elected office at the same time.
Chain of Command
Runs operations in the field. If a seat falls vacant, the system immediately opens a new election; during a brief gap, higher command carries coordination — command changes hands only by election.
- General Staff4 people above the forces · org-wide coordination
- Force CommanderGround · Air · Special · Industry — one commander per force
- Team LeaderThe unit in the field · picks their own roster
- MemberThe strength of the fleet · the owner of every mission
Senate
Makes decisions: voting, approval, leadership change. Always an odd number of seats — no ties. As the org grows, the Senate grows too.
There is no separate "running for office" step. No one can vote for themselves; everyone votes for someone other than themselves, and whoever gets the most votes wins. Not self-promotion — the community chooses.
There are no mandatory, calendar-bound elections. Those doing well stay, those doing poorly are replaced. An officeholder remains in post unless the people want change — but is accountable at all times.
Opening elections, counting votes, granting roles, removing offices — the system handles all of it according to the constitution without a human hand. The only human input is one thing: the vote.
From Candidate Pilot to command
Here everyone can rise. It is not who you know, but what you do for the crew that decides. It begins the day you walk through the door; the rest is up to you.
00New Member
You walk through the door. You fill out the onboarding survey and declare your RSI identity and your hangar.
01Candidate Pilot
The moment you complete your survey, you automatically become a Candidate Pilot — no human approval. From day one you join events and missions and can be invited to teams. Forming teams and voting rights unlock at Crew.
02Crew
You paste your personal code into your RSI profile bio; the system automatically verifies your org membership (hidden profiles go to Founder review). Your voting rights unlock — now you elect, get elected, and can ask for change when needed.
03Officer
The community elects you: Team Leader, Force Commander, or Senator. You don't need to know anyone — what you do for the crew decides.
The org grows with you
The org starts with one person. As the community grows, decisions start being made together with members; the system behaves differently in each phase — no "empty room," but meaningful growth. Right now: Phase 0 — Core.
Core
The Founder temporarily holds all offices. While the system is being built, the org is under a single command.
First Fleet
The first teams form, leaders take the field. The backbone of the fleet begins to take shape.
Forces
Force commanders emerge, a 4-person General Staff is seated. The chain of command is complete.
Assembly Forms
The first Senate is formed. Members gain low-risk experience in voting.
Community-Run
Members choose their leaders and replace them when needed. The Founder steps back — only a guardian so things stay fair.
What we believe
Brotherhood
No pilot is left behind. The operation ends, the crew remains.
Discipline
Coordinated movement always beats scattered force. The briefing is taken, the plan is carried out.
Exploration
We begin where the map ends. The unknown is not something to fear, but something to record.
