He'd earned perhaps a hundred solo kills by the time the rest of StateCorp jumped its carriers in to our base, the dead-end system of WY-9LL. Flying a physics-tricked absurdo-ship, the nanophoon (now impossible in the game), he introduced himself to the locals with a week of non-stop slaughter. The first on the scene was Thesper, one of our solo aces. But where they left off, The State - our newly formed alliance - began to gain momentum. After savaging Xelas and The Horde time after time, and having several huge fights with roving BoB fleets, Celestial Apocalypse were beginning to look for other targets.
Now though, there were a whole bunch of neutrals, all allied to each other, living in Fountain core. When we arrived Celestial Apocalypse had begun to get bored and while they were would be around for many weeks following, it seemed that they had begun to lose interest in the project. While no one was particularly interested in messing with BoB territorially the stations remained unscathed, so Xelas and The Horde got on with making money, and that left them open to attack by Celestial Apocalypse's rag-tag free-trade posse. The BoB community in Fountain, therefore, was largely left to fend for itself. BoB's military was engaged elsewhere at the time, or was alternately secured in Delve and Querious, their other two regions. The situation was close to unique, and I would spend a large stretch of the following years attempting to recapture it. A few small alliances and corporations had taken up that offer, and were making the most of Fountain's core as a base, while Celestial Apocalypse rampaged around the region. Celestial Apocalypse had moved into the uncapturable NPC stations and declared that they would provide "blue" or non-aggression status with anyone who wanted to move up there and fight BoB's local minions with them.

As such, the region was relatively quiet, free of territory war and was being exploited by BoB allies, such as Xelas Alliance and The Horde. These outposts at the time were run by Band Of Brothers (BoB), who were arguably the most fearsome military alliance in the game at that time. The Fountain region is unusual in that it has a mix of uncapturable NPC stations in its "core", and a number of outposts and stations around its edge. Only in this particular case it was like a kind of casual guerrilla club.Ĭelestial Apocalypse, a large, PvP-skilled corporation, had moved into a region called Fountain. Such agreements seldom work out, but something along these lines was being attempted by a potent player corporation called Celestial Apocalypse. The notion, in these areas, is that you don't shoot anything that moves, and help to defend against pirates and raiders. What might be interesting, we thought, was to contribute to one of the free-trade zones, those areas of idealism which pop up occasionally across Eve's map. Having fled the collapse of Veritas Immortalis and the unstoppable march of the RedSwarm Federation in the East of the galaxy, we looked around for a new home. In this, the third part of my retrospective on five years of an Eve Online corporation, I discuss our guerrilla war, a heroic evacuation mission, and the few weeks of play that will, I fear, diminish all game experiences to follow.
