==='''What We Operate'''===
At present we are operating out of [[the Bratt Arms]] in [[Mockridge Heights]]. Radio frequency has been decided to be 28.57. We operate the local revive point at the [[Cemetery 46,63|cemetery]].
====''Revive Points''====
We operate a revive point at [[Cemetery_43,85| The cemetery north of Eden Museum]]. Anyone who uses it is expected to pop into [[Eden Museum]] to say thanks, as is only good form.
====''Safehouses''====
The 57th currently maintains two EHB safehouses along with it's command centre at [[Eden Museum| Eden]]. The are [[Heindrich Towers]], one West of [[Eden Museum| Eden]], and [[Kebby Way School]], one North-East of [[Eden Museum| Eden]]. The 57th also maintains [[St. Aloysius's Church]] as a VSB++ safehouse for low-level survivors and to serve as an entry point.
====''Hospital service''====
The 57th currently maintains [[St. Hubertus's Hospital]], one South of [[Eden Museum| Eden]] at EHB, and also heals any wounded survivors in the [[St. Hubertus's Hospital| Hospital]] should they require it.
====''Headquarters''====
Our current Headquarters is located at [[Eden Museum]], and it is from here that the 57th operate their safehouses and revive point. The Headquarters is to be maintained at EHB at all times.

=='''''History'''''==
The 57th is a relatively new formation, it's around a year and a half old at this point. The 57th in UD however is much newer, and it was formed on 6th Jan 2010.
 
===The first month===
The first month was mostly spent attracting people to the game and fiddling with it ourselves. By the beginning of February the procedures for recognizing a new game as being an official game of the 57th came into being, and [[User:Angelking| Angelking]] took it upon himself to lead the 57th in UD and get it recognized. To this end, he began looking around for a possibly Headquarters, [[East Grayside]] was identified as a likely site, and [[Wilbraham Cinema]] became the local safehouse for the fledgling 57th.
 
===The second month===
The second month saw the movement of the 57th away from the original HQ at [[Wilbraham Cinema]], and to set up camp at the entry point at [[Eden Museum]]. Following various runs down to Buckley Mall, the 57th are now in the process of settling down and securing the surrounding area, which has yet to be defined.  


===The third month===
On 22nd March, 2010, the 57th established their Headquarters at [[Eden Museum]], [[Kinch Heights]]. A revival point was established at the [[Cemetery_43,85| The cemetery north of Eden Museum]], while [[St. Hubertus's Hospital]], [[Heindrich Towers]] & [[Kebby Way School]] were all earmarked as EHB safehouses. The [[St. Aloysius's Church| Church]] is to serve as the entry point into the 57th Overlanders Command Complex, while a radio transmitter was set up at Eden.


=='''''The 57th Elsewhere'''''==
=='''''Other games of the 57th'''''==
The 57th started it's existence in another game, Cybernations. It branched out just after it's 1 year old mark into OGame and then into Urban Dead. The 57th in Urban Dead has yet to be recognized by the Captain, [[User:Veneke| Veneke]], as an official game of the 57th. We operate a single membership for all official games of the 57th. In other words, if you're a member of the 57th in Cybernations, then you're also a member of the 57th in Urban Dead and vice-versa. People we welcome into the 57th we expect to be full and proper persons, actual and whole. You're either in the 57th, or you're not. One of the (many) upsides to this, is that you get to sample a wide variety of games and meet a wide variety of people from other games that you may not have otherwise met.
The 57th Overlanders currently operate in Urban Dead, Shintolin, Supremacy 1914 and 9 Empires in addition to Cybernations. Further games will be added to this "official" list as the prerequisites are met and as interest demands.

The 57th Overlanders

Who We Are

The 57th Overlanders are based around the Firefly TV show and the movie it spawned, Serenity. The 57th Overlanders was the unit that Malcolm Reynolds fought in during the Unification War in the Firefly Universe created by Joss Whedon. It is the ideals present in this show that help form the basis of the 57th. As such, we aim to be a small and tight-knit group, with the basic goal to keep flyin', even in a zombie infested wasteland... we may even have to sell little porcelain geisha dolls with heads that wobble to survive.

The 57th Overlanders follows a very broad Vision document which forms the core element of their rules. It should be noted that this applies to the 57th regardless of game. There are provision for a separate document to constitute the Charter of the 57th in a particular game, but as of yet such provision remains unused.

What We Operate & Where

At present we are operating out of the Bratt Arms in Mockridge Heights. Radio frequency has been decided to be 28.57. We operate the local revive point at the cemetery.

What We Expect

This can be summarized in one word: community. This is what the 57th expects out of all of her members. You must contribute to the community in some form, or you will quickly find yourself either inactive or booted. We're friendly folk to all and sundry, but we do expect more you to be a part of the 57th. If you're not willing to put in the time and effort into us, we're certainly not going to put time and effort into coordinating things for you.


Other games of the 57th

The 57th Overlanders currently operate in Urban Dead, Shintolin, Supremacy 1914 and 9 Empires in addition to Cybernations. Further games will be added to this "official" list as the prerequisites are met and as interest demands.
