The Hadean Drive Yards reached a defining point in it's history today.
Today marks HDY's 5th birthday in the world of EVE. As with any other online game, very few Corporations or guilds can claim to have achieved this milestone. It is a testiment to both EVE and the member base of the Hadean Drive Yards that such a thing is possible.
Over the past 5 years we have achieved many things of note within the world of EVE. Strip mining an entire system before things like Exhumers were even on the drawing boards. Acquiring the entire T1 BPO library, having it stolen and then rising up to return from the ashes to acquire it once again. Being one of the few Corporations (of our size) who can field its own capital production lines without relying on outside sources. Finally, just having survived the world of EVE in general.
Within the past few weeks several other things have come full circle. RocknAngel, the co-founder of HDY, has returned to EVE and once again donned his Hadean uniform. Several other members, who were there in the early years, have found themselves coming full circle and returning to the home they once knew.
We look forward to celebrating and wish everyone at CCP continued success so that we, as a Corporation, may enjoy the fruits of their labours for 5 more years.
Regards, Michael "OverKill" Carter Chief Executive Officer Hadean Drive Yards

Edited by: OverKill on 05/09/2007 19:35:13 Just to clarify for the uninitiated...
HDY spun off of the old Endless Corporation during the HellGremlin era (remember how hard it was not to be blinded by the weird hair colours?).
September 5th, 2002 was when the HDY website was registered and went active. We officialy began our existence under the Hadean name on that day.
Players from HDY have been involved in the "Corporate Community" since before Alpha was released. We took a small part (2 of us) in Alpha and had SEVERAL players in the beta phases in which we tested out a few things for CCP including player owned stations.
So, yes, 5 years indeed.
We (I know the guys have been reading this) collectively thank all of you and we look forward to servicing your space faring needs in the future.
Its a great pleasure to see many of the old faces still around!

"Welcome to EVE. Everyone will have a unique identity where they can make a name for themselves in the universe" or something like that. NOT.
Although it IS amusing when people send me killmails with your name in them all the time. I do get a chuckle outta that and it makes the soup that much sweeter.
