Originally by: Diehard Si If youÆve never heard of us then you prob wonÆt be interested in this, but for those small number of you that have, here is a little bit about UK1.
2 years ago tomorrow, a few battlefield 2 buddies from the clan UK1, would decide to start using a different channel on teamspeak from the rest of us. Strange we thought, but the corporation of UK1 was being born, and Tryfanman, Umberto, Ream and Robber together founded the corporation, none of them with any Eve experience, other than what theyÆd learnt in their few days to date.
Gradually more of us got intrigued with this 'new' game people were playing and started to experiment as well. Before we knew it, half of the clan were playing Eve.
This gave UK1 a boost in numbers, and helped us in our early days. None of us really knew much of what we were doing as we were all brand new, but that added to the interest of doing it for ourselves!
Early Days
Our early days were spent in the system of Amygnone in Gallente space, and here we followed what the founders had started to do and mine. For a few months we sat there together, talking and mining. Until one day...
While busy mining in high sec, Warlord ( our famous BF2 Dolphin diver, bunny hopper and general trouble maker ) suggested we all go and mine in low sec. So we kitted out our cruisers with our miners, and went in, mined for about 2 hours and then 3 flashy reds appeared on the overview and killed us all ( thanks Ewokpoacher and co ).
From here on things were different. I personnally never trained another mining or industry related skill EVER again. I swore revenge, and started focusing on fighting. Many of the corp did too.
Our background really helped us too ( considering we were all new ). We had one thing many other corps didnÆt, proper team work and the wish to make things work. This has stayed with us to this day.
Low Sec With Tryfan deciding he no longer wanted to be CEO, the role was passed to me. Now we were getting more used to combat, we entered some low sec systems. With some fights with the locals, but also made some friends along the way. Masmi were the first to offer us help, along with RAGEX.
Learning from our new friends, we were now getting better at figthing, but this was causing some internal trouble as the industrialists didn't like us 'causing trouble for them'. At one point we managed to get 5 war decs against us. To a corp full of 6 month olds this seemed like the end, but instead everyone chipped in, everyone fought and we held our own with the help of our friends.
Alliances We then decided to join Myriad alliance through our UK1 BF2 member Stevil, who was in it. Based in Immensea they offered something new and exciting. Unfortunately the weekend we joined was the weekend they were forced out by a looming war between Goons, RA & UNL against LV. Myriad were a great bunch, but we joined them at the wrong time! Our time in the alliance was a learning curve, but many corps were leaving and the alliance only lasted a few months more. The wars against the Privateers and the Ronin, finally finished them off.
Then we joined Red Moon Federation, again one of our BF2 players used to be in CoRM so we went down there. Now we were sprung into the war between BOB and the Goons, fighting on the side we wanted to be. The laggy fleet fights and capital engagements were fun for a while, but most of our members were longing to be able to fight lag free, and in small sharp gangs again. RMF were eventually overrun by 400 odd Goon, TCF, UNL fleets and the support from the allies wasn't exactly quick enough. By the time BOB came back to help, the balance of control had shifted.
