Getting Started¶

Get your org up and running in a few minutes — no installs, no spreadsheets.

Head to starorg.tools and sign in with Discord. Star Org Labs uses your Discord account, so there's nothing new to create.

2. Add the bot to your server¶

In the app, use "Add to Server" and pick the Discord server you want to run your org from. You'll need permission to add a bot to that server.

What the bot asks for¶

The invite requests a specific, scoped set of Discord permissions — never Administrator. Here's what's granted and why:

Permission	Why
View Channels	See the channels it posts in and manages
Manage Channels	Create/remove temporary voice channels (voice hubs, event ops channels)
Move Members	Move members into voice hubs and event voice channels
Manage Roles	Apply promotions and sync ranks from your RSI org page
Send Messages	Post event announcements and notifications
Send Messages in Threads	Reply inside ticket threads
Embed Links	Rich event and announcement embeds
Attach Files	Attach generated images (e.g. fleet/roster exports) to messages
Read Message History	Track poll activity so old polls don't get buried
Manage Threads	Close and lock resolved ticket threads
Create Public Threads	Open public ticket and event-discussion threads
Create Private Threads	Open private ticket threads
Manage Events	Create, update, and cancel Discord's native scheduled events for your ops
Connect	Join voice hub channels (required for the bot to grant this to hub owners/members too — Discord only lets a bot hand out a permission it holds itself)
Speak / Stream / Priority Speaker / Mute Members / Deafen Members	Voice hub owner controls — granted on the owner's own channel only, never server-wide
Create Events	Create Discord scheduled events for your ops
Mention Everyone / Manage Nicknames	Not used yet. Requested now because adding a permission later would make every server re-approve the bot

3. Set up your org¶

When the bot joins, it posts a short welcome in your server with a Start setup button and pings whoever added it (or the server owner, when Discord doesn't say who). It also sends that person a DM with the same link. The button opens the setup wizard, which a server admin works through in four steps:

Essentials: your events channel, and the roles that count as officers and admins.
Preflight: the bot checks it can really post in that channel. Each check reads done, to do, blocked or couldn't check, with what to fix. Nothing here stops you; Continue anyway moves on while you sort it out.
Features & games: the games your org plays (at least one) and the modules you want on.
Finish: your choices grouped by step, each with Edit. Finish setup saves them.

The labelled steps along the top show where you are, and the wizard says why Next is greyed out when it is. Leave halfway and your choices are kept as a draft for next time. Already know your way around? Skip to full settings goes straight to Server Settings.

Until every essential passes, admins see a Finish setting up card on the org dashboard. It lists only what is left, with Continue setup and Skip to full settings, and goes away by itself once the bot can post your events. Running /setup in Discord with no options links to the wizard too.

Then make it yours in Server Settings:

Drop in your org logo
Pick a theme — your manufacturer's colors, or a look of your own
Configure your channels so events and pings land in the right place
Fine-tune your officer and admin roles — and see Roles & Permissions for per-rank access control

4. Run your first op¶

Hit Create Event, build out the roster (roles, ships, teams), and share it. Your members sign up straight from Discord — and you track it all from the web. 🎉

Your first visit¶

The first time you sign in, a three-step setup gets you oriented:

Choose Your Path: Tactical & Ops, Industry & Economy, or Management & Command. It moves that part of the app to the front of the launcher and picks a matching theme.
Link Your RSI Account (optional): enter your handle and you get a code to paste into your RSI profile's Short Bio. Copy code and Open RSI profile are right there, and you can verify on the spot or later in Settings.
App Walkthroughs (optional): turn guided tours on or off. This step also recaps your path and RSI link, each with Edit.

Skip setup (top right) is always there. You can change your path later in Settings → Account & RSI → Your path; changing it there leaves your theme alone.

Guided tours¶

A few pages show a short tour the first time you arrive: the launcher, your homepage, Events and RSI verification. Some others offer one when it applies, for example Comms Ops once Star Comms is set up, or the Fleet Command board the first time an officer opens it. A tour never opens over a dialog, while you're typing or over unsaved changes. Every other page's tour is on request: press Page Help & Tour in the sidebar.

Tours follow your account, not your browser. To stop them in one click, press Turn off all tours at the bottom of any tour card. You can also use Show guided tours in Settings → Account & RSI → Guided tours, which is where you turn them back on; press Reset tours there to see every page's tour again. Page Help & Tour still works with tours off.

Your settings¶

Settings (your own, not the server's) has more than Account & RSI:

Games — the games you play.
Notifications — choose which alerts you get.
Appearance — your own theme.
Danger zone — Deactivate My Account signs you out everywhere and hides your account until you log in again; nothing is deleted. Delete My Data schedules your data for permanent erasure (you can cancel before the date), which also removes your messages from voice transcripts.

What's next?¶

Now that the bot is in, here's where everything lives:

Guide	What's in it
Events & Ops	Planning an op, signups, voice, attendance, the AAR
Templates & Recurring Ops	Save an op's shape, schedule it, mission roulette
Loot Hub	Splitting a haul — the four distribution modes and guild points
Fleet & Hangar	Your ships, who can see them, the Org Fleet Dashboard
Voice Channels	Join-to-create hubs and the op's own channels
Org Command	Roster, org chart, promotions, tickets, treasury, goals, CMS
Industrial	Mining sessions, RSIG decoder, cargo optimizer, work orders
